The PEACE QUEsTioN.-The first period
allowed the Russian Cabinet for deliberation
on the Austrian proposition, has been extern
ded from Jan. 9Th, as at first specified, to
Jan 9Th. This arises from Count Esterhazy
not having reached st. Petersburgh 50 early
as was intended; and this period is again ex-
tended in like manner from the 9Th to the
18th of January. .tIi ~ A'ia f
Atelegraphic dispatch from Berlin declares
that Count Nesselrode has privately declared
to Baron Reebach, the Saxon envoy, that in
his opinion, Russia had made, in her declara-
ton of Dec. 22d, the furtherest concession she
can make. AT the same time it is under
stood that Russia consents to negotiate, and
offers, in her terms, plausible propositions as
a basis of negotiations for Peace.
The London Morning Chronicle says that
the Russian reply will be sent to Vienna di-
rect, and not be handed to Count Esterhazy.
The return reply Of Austry will be sent to
Count Nesselrode. This mode of transmits
sion will create at least a months delay in
the negotiations. y ''.' '''
According to the correspondent of the
London Times, the acceptance or rejection by
Russia of the Austrian proposition, depends
a great deal, if not entirely, upon Prussia
1t is the knowledge Of this fact which raises
or depresses the expectations Of the Austrian
public-according to the tenor of the intelli
gence from Berlin.
Meanwhile it is known that instructions to
the Prussian Minister at St. Peteisburgh
were. to give the most conciliatCry %counsels to
Count Nesselrode; and it is moreover, affirm
cd that the King of Prussia has addressed an
autograph letter to the Emperor Alexander
to the same effect. .''''
Correspondence says that France and Eng
land are taking a very high tone with Prus-
STA and threaten to extend the blockade to
their ports. Hence King Frederick's recon-
mendation to the Gar to come TO terms.
The Berlin correspondent continue to init
mate that there is no doubt Austria has real
ly determined the Germany Diet to make a
manifestation on the return of the Cars
answer.
Count O'Donnell, the Emperor's Abide
camp, is commissioned to visit several of the
German Courts to pave the way for this object.
A Vienna despatch adds-very favorable
ppes are entertained as regards an under
landing between Austria and Prussia respect
ing the mode Of treating the peace question,
both at st. Petersburgh and at the Frankfort
Diet. But little weight is to be attached to
this vague surmise.
The Berlin correspondent of the Enamel
patton Bage, firmly maintains that the pro-
posals are the Austrian ultimatum, and on
their rejection she will take the field.
1t is needless to say that this statement
must be taken as a mere guess.
Mercantile letters from st. Petersburgh
reach to the lst of January, and do not har-
monte with subsequent reports of the fail
ure of negotiations. ri
The arrival Of Baron Leback, which had
taken place two days previous, had been
plowed by, considerable speculation in
she funds by members of the Court, who
&ight be supposed to have caught a.
glimpse of peace, nevertheless the fear of an
attack on the Capitol restrained the more
cautious from investing largely in it.
The Danish Government has sent a cir
cular to the different States Of Europe. In
his circular she renews the declaration of
ner neutrality. .r IN
Denmark persists in maintaining the posi-
on of a neutral Power, and admits no en-
pgements on its side in relation to the treaty
Included Nov. 21st, between Sweden and
lie Western Powers.
