Regarding the precise terms of the bases for the
preliminaries we know now that Russia continues 10

herself in respect to the number of skips-of-waE

Likewise beset with many difficulties aud is far
from being accepted implicitly by the Car; thus
il cannot be denied that the saDguine views about
peace are not sufficiently warranted b. the facts,
unless Napoleon ia bent upon making peacs at any
price. Sui, on reading the French papers, We
scarcely doubt that such is really the case and the
fact that the Austrian semi Sicial journals feel no
apprehension about difficulties coming from NapO-
leon but expect many as regards England, confirms
decomposition Of tacit understanding between the

A letter froa st. Petersburg dated Jan. l6, in
the French Constitutional pretends to give some
interesting details about the acceptance OF the
propositions by the Czar, and insisting upon the
spOntaneOusness of his resolution, no member Of
the Imperial family, and not even Count Nessel-
rode, having been consulted about the circum-
stances The Grand-Duke Nicholas had to cOmmu-
Iicate the decision of the Gar TO the Grand Duke
Constantine &c, &c. All this sounds we'll and
plausible, but the last paragraph of the letter,
speaking Of "grOrps assembling IN the streets. dis
.cussiag tie graf nens," bears internal evidence
that it was not written either under the latitude or
in the political atmosphere of st. Petersburg,
where great news never is discussed in the
streets, aud groups never assemble on the 10th of
January for quiet chat in open air All the let
ter is evidently Partisan forgery, though some
of the details may be picked up from people con-
nected with the diplomatic service.
Prince Paskewitch is dying at Warsaw. His
successor will probably be the Crimea1 irince
Gorchakoff, who will be replaced by Gen. Ljders.
Still these arrangements were resolved upon be-
fere the acceptance of the Austrian propositions,
ard are, therefore, for the present moment, not
Of very great Importance. A. p {.
