Since last wrote to you there has been great
deal going OH in diplomatic circles. Austria has
been negotiating with France and England upon
the basis of such peace propositions as the former
Power is willing to insist upon at st. Petersburg
be this hereafter in the shape Of an ultimatum or
otherwise It appears that difficulties had to be over
come, especially in England, before the said three
great Powers could agree upon the tenor OF these
propositions, involving, as it were their joint ac-
ton. We now learn that perfect understanding
has been finally arrived at, and that Count Vaen-
tine Esterhazy, the Austrian ambassador at the
Court Of ST. Petersburg, left here last night for the
Russian capital, taking with him full and ample
powers to open earnest peace negotiations at
St. Petersburg upon the basis of the joint under
standing come to by Austria and the allies It now
remains to be seen with what success these nego-
tiaons will be conducted. Opinions vary hereon- In
certain political circles is averred that Russia will
now be the more inclined to give way, since the
military honor of her arms has been saved by the
victorious reduction Of Kars. And doubtless if
Russia bows to the superiority of the Allies in
moment Of victory, it may fairly be said that her
dignity is fully secured. But many persons Opine
that on account Of this very victory the war
party in Russia will assuredly leave nothing I'M
done to prevent the Emperor Alexander from
lending willing ear to peace propositions salts
factory to the Western Powers. You are proba-
bly, aware that the terms or peace which Eng
! land, France and Austria are supposed to
have agreed upon, reported to be the following:
The Black Sea is to be declared neutral territory
open for merchaIt men Of all flags, but closed to the
ships of war OF all nations Al the Russian strong
holds in the Black Sea to be reduced, and
tain portion Of Russian territory on The Lower Da
nube is to be ceded and annexed to the Danubian
Prncipalites for the purpose Of satisfactorily &C.
curing the free navigation OF the Danube. ! have
reason to believe that this version is entitled to
credit, although, of course, cannot vouch for its
entire correctness. The question Of the war ex-

in allegiance 1t has been very pithiy remarked that
the fall of Kars, mainly attributable to the blameable
negligence of the Porte in not sending ample
reinfor:ements and provisions for the relief
| Of that lfated garrison, will be the touchstone
that will test the value of those hopes of speedy
peace in which Europe has been somewhat remarka-
bly, INDUCING for some weeks past Russias sincerity,
in entertaining the propositions that will be now

be lost Of the fact that besides Prussia also BAVARIA
Saxony, and one OF two other of the minor German
States have latterly coalesced in strongly urging
upon Russia the necessity of pacific policy. All
these erdeavors for the restoration of peace will,
doubtless, carry their due weight with them at St
Petersburg at all events, we may expect, in the
course of the present winter, to hear great deal
more Of pacific negotiations.
The past week was very busy one in Vienna
| Public attention was almost exclusively absorbed
by the subscriptions that were opened at the Ma

this new credit institution had resolved, as pre-
viously reported to you, to let the public thus part
cpate in the profits of their future operations to the
extent OF fifteen millions Of orins-of fourth Of

the extraordinary interest manifested by the public
in this new undertaking, that up to Saturday eve

scnptiOns were closed, G44 100000 forms were
subscribed by 25076 separate parties. This proves
Legend doubt the extraordinary degree Of favorable
| opinion which commercial men throughout the
continent of Europe entertain OF the probable
success OF this new institution. OF course
these subscriptions were not limited to Aus
tlia. but came also from France, Prussia.
