York Tribune, alludes to the proposition, and
says:
Lord Palmerston3 could not refuse to give
bis assent to such propositions as these. and
they were dispatched the day before yester-
day to Russia--Nevertheles the rumors of
peace have suddenly blown over. The Ex
change, which was so sanguine. and the news
paper correspondent, so busy last week, have
now become somewhat more desponding as
regards the success of the negotiations, since
it is known that the house of Mendelssohn, at
Berlin, have opened subscriptions for new
Russian five per cent loan of eight millions
sterling at S. 1t is easy to sec that, had
the hopes of peace any solid foundations, the
Gear would have delayed his financial opera
tions until the beginning of the negotiations
and the settlement of the prelimniaries of
peace, which would have secured better terms
to him as to the money
One third of the loan is expected to be ta-
ken at Berlin, one third at Amsterdam. and
one third at Frankfort. As the terms are
very favorable, and Russia's financial credits
Is not yet shaken, the subscriptions would
have filled in a few days bat for the defcien-
cy in negotiating the scrip. Excluded as it
is from the London and Paris markets, it can
not become fayorite stock since its circula-
rion connot extend beyond Germany, Switzer-
land and Holland, all of them glutted with
Austrian paper, and therefore scarcely able
to absorb the Russian loan Still, it is to be-
lieyed that it will be subscribed before the
return of Count Valentine Esterhazy from St.

his answer, and accordingly We may expect to
bear of the final result about the middle of
January. The propositions are 50 framed as
to exclude any lodging The Gar must
either except or refuse them; in the first case
an aruistice win be concluded and peace
congress will assemble at Dresden or Munich.
in the latter case the next campaign will ex
tend to the Baltic provinces, and Austria
will recall her Ambassador from st. Peters
burg As to her going to war it is simply
impossible, since she has again dismissed S0,-

bragging that in the course of six weeks she
can organize her army on the footing

to be decciyed-for instance, Napoleon. Not

'' You have revived the prestige cf your
name you have given the French army an
abundant feast of glory; you have raised your
influence to the highest pitch; you have re-
ceived TIE King of Sardinia and the Queen of
England as guests at the Tullerics. What
more have you to gain by the war and by the
English alliance? Peace and an alliance
with Austria alone can give you additional Sc
curity in France and influence abroad while
the intimacy with parliamentary govern
ment cannot but weaken the principles of I'M
perialism." This disposition of the French
Court is so well known all over Europe that

People are not sufficiently informed of the
state of Russia, or else they would not think
that the Gar could give his assent to the new
Austrian proposition.
1t is said, moreover, that public feeling is
undergoing change in Russia. But, we re-
peat, everything may be regarded still in
doubt fhila Inquirer.
