ARRIVAL OF THE Africa.

From the details by the Africa we clip the follow
ing items in reference to European affairs. The read
er will be careful to make allowances for contradict
ing statements. OF course, we must not believe
everything We read. 1t will be observed, for the
sake of example, that Russia is here said to be favor
able to the propositions; while England and France
are reported "warlike." There is always something
"behind the scenes" which has yet to- be brought
out. The africa arrived Wednesday last:
Russas answer will not bereceiYed before the 10th
1t is expected to contain assent or dis
sent; probably she will make counter proposals to
be settled by q conference. The feeling in France
and England is still warlike. Russia continues in
cessant preparations for war The French blew nm
the Sebastopol docks on the 22d. - Vs..
The conference on the Danish Sound Dues ;sindef.
initely postponed. Berlin papers speak favorably
of the disposition of the Car to consider the propo
sitions of the Allies ~ =
Advices from Asia state that the Russian army at
Kars was occupying in small the forti-
fcatiors Of Schanly Dagh. The Russians had COL
lected large stores at Geni Keni village on the road
to Erzeroum. They we're apprehensive, also, of an
attack on Kars by selim Pacha, who was encamped
in the mountains. The Russians viii probably not
attack Erzeroum, in consequence'of the exhaustion
Of their troops and the bad condition of the road.
Advices from the Crimea to the 25thu state that
the Russians had increased the fortifcations over
Ankermen, and unmasked new batteries on the left
Of the Tchernays Marshal Pelissier remains in the
Crimea, and General Marmora acts as his proxy at
the Council of War. Omar Pacha was 'unpopularin
Constantinope, in consequence OF the fall Of Kars.
The Councilof War at Constantinople was directing
all its efforts towards tho defence of Erzeroum and
Trebizonde. ySi.!s!! 2
The general council OF Petersburg was principally
engaged on the question Of orifying the strataeetc
points Of the Empire. The fortifcations at Kew
will be finished before the close Of the winter. The
railroad from Moscowto St Petersburg will be pro-
tected BY redoubts atintervals, and each will be &C..
cupied bya battalionsof militia,

Since the above was put in type, wehsye received
the details by the Baltic threedays later than those
Of the africa. On comparing the news, we 6ne no
matter Of material difference. The peace proposals
had not received the Cars answer and better hopes
Of peace seemed to prodominate. Russia has had
the time for her decision on the matter extended to
the 18th inst, and expectations are at an exciting
pitch to learn any clew to the Cars resolution re-
garding these peace propositions. Yet the report
from Vienna and Berlin state that, by advices re
ceiyed there from st. Petersburg, the Gear will
make no further concessions in the matter. On the
other hand it is known that certain formal confer
ences were in session in St. Petersburg discussing
the proposals. The. councils were attended by Nes
serode, Esterhazy, Zebach and Sommer. The In.
dependence Beige publishes the text Of the Allied
proposals. The general impression is, that Russia
will neither accept reject the terms, but will
send Count Stakeburg to Vienna with counter pro-
oosals.
AT st. Petersburg, on the Sd instant the war coun-
ii had concluded, and it has been made known that
ne Russian tactics, for the approaching campaign,
lad undergone important notifications. An order
ent from headquarters, indicates an intention to
abandon the Crimea, and part of the troops had
'een ordered to reinforce the division under Gen.
houravieff, others were to join the grand army Of
he centre In we'll informed quarters, tits believed
hat definite intelligence on the peace transactions
you'd reach the British Government from Vienna on
he 18th inst =. : -
