New York Feb. 0.

Chances in favor Of a speedy pacific set
tlement are on the increase. Russian sin
eerity Is as much questioned as on former
occasions, but appearances arc all fair and
straightforward.
The Gar has ordered his army in the
Crimea to cease hostilities without waiting
for formal armistice, although it is rumored
that an armistice is agreed on for three
months.
France, England and Austria continue in
accord, although it is foreseen that grave
questions must arise during negotiations.
No place of meeting yet decided upon.
A dispatch of to-day, of rather doubtful
authority, says it will certainly be either
P,}ris or London.
The London Saturday Daily News learns
on undoubted authority that preliminaries
Of treaty will be signed probably before
Tuesday, and certainly before the meeting
Of Parliment. An armistice will be conelu-
ded Immediately after signing prelimina-
ries, and negotiations, with view to final
comprehensive treaty, will be commenced
immediately.
It is further learned that it is the deter
mination of the Allied powers to exercise
to full extent the right reserved to them by
tho 5th article of tho Austrian proposals, to
bring forward additional stipulations to the
general interest of Europe.
A dispatch from Berlin states that the
peace proposals were strongly supported at
ST. Petersburg by Holland.
The Times Turin correspondent, writing
or the goth, says the official Gazette of
Vinenna and Milan are by no means inclined
to place much faith in peace resulting from
the acceptance by Russia of the Austrian
proposition. . l--'
The same correspondent states that
since the ratification of the Austrian con
cordant the Tuscan clergy have assumed
great presentations, and everything tends TO
indicate a similar convention between Tus-
eany and Rome before long. p
The Globe says that Parliment will be
opened by her Majesty in person. The adj
dress in the Lords viii be moved by the
Earl Of Gosford, and seconded by the Earl
Of Addington.
TIE EAsT.-We have received the fol-
lowing by the Thabor, arrived at Marsailles
on Tuesday: hsia1
Conferences had been held at CONSTANT
nople to adjust the Ist and 4th points rela-
ting to the Prineipslities.
The firing continues on both sides at Sc
bastopol. 30
The allies had blown up two of the docks.
The Russians had taken up winter quar-
ters at Simpherpol, Bakschi, and Sevai.
At Kinburn they had thirty thousand
men, and fears were entertained of an at
tack on the fortress.
The garrison has been reinforced.
The fiotilla was frozen in, but would aid
in the defence.
Gen. Vivian fearing being attacked at
Kertch, has called for officers of Artillery
and Infantry from Constantinople.
Mr.. Murray had given in an ultimatum.
He left an agent at Tehevar in spite of some
resistance, and threatened to support him
BY an English feet in the Persian Gulf.
The journal Debats publishes letter
from Berlin, dated 2lst inst, which states
that in Cabinet Council held that day, at
which the King presided, it was decided
that Persia should take no initiatory steps
in reference to the participation of Persia to
the peace Conferences and should make no
concessions susceptible of changing her act
ual positions
The acceptance of the Austrian propo,i-
ton has been published officially at St. Pc
tersburgh.
,The announcement states that the chief
condition is the naturalization of the Black
Sea, to be secured by a treaty between
Russia and Turkey, Russia being to discuss
tho other points.
1t IS stated in diplomatic circles, that
Austria considers the wording of the posi-
tons entities Russia to maintain all exist
ing fortresses on the Black Sea. Further it
is rummored that the Allies intend to main
tain an army of occupation in Turkey till
the reforms in favor of the Christians are
fully established. This proposal is extreme
ly distasteful to both Turkey and Russia,
and Austria proposes to maintain her army
in the Danubian Principalities solong as the
French and English occupy Turkey.
It was stated, but afterwards contradic-
ted, that Marshal Pelissier, Gen. Codrington
and Omar Pacha had, like Gen. Grotscha-
koff; received orders from their respective
government to stop hostilities. Such orders
will. not be sent till an armistice be formally
concluded. 1t is hoped such an armistice
may be signed on or about the End of Feb
Tuary.
The Globe, the Palmorston organ, of Fri
day, Jan, 25th announces in leading arti-
Gle that the warlike preparations of the
British Government arc preceding as if
no pacific intimation had been received
within the last few hours. 1t says rcqui-
sition has been sent for transport accomoda-
tion for 1000 horses, or nearly sixty thous-
and tons for shipping. 49,.
Lord Palmerston, whilemecting cordial
ly the advances of peace. will carefully pro-
vide for a possible failure in diplomacy.
Accounts from the Crimea to the 9th
Jan. mention no facts of the least impor-
lance.
The cold was intense, and the sea had fro
zen along the coast, but particularly in the
roadstead of Sevatopol. The ice however
soon disappeared. The men who suffered
most were the porters and laborers recently
arrived in the Crimea
