The London Globe of the date says
We have 10 believe that the announcement Of u
morning contemporary that the Austrian ahaaana has
been accepted Internationally BY Russia Is substantially
correct that her propositions have been accepted
basis for negotiation. We have doubt that the allied
will meet this acceptance in friendly spirit
and with firm determination, II possible TO conclude
safe ana honorable peace .. a. .. .,.a.. :
They must not forget however the intricate course OF
Russian diplomacy former occasions that she accepted
the known four points long sincpwith what
resu is known q
negotiation in a spirit that will preclude similar dis
appointment on this occasion. e.

THE JosDoS Of RUsstAs ACCEPTANCE THE PEAcE
PROPOSITIONS
The London Times of the 18th ultimo says:
cover the sounds of warlike preparation but yesterday
resounding from end Of this laborious island TO the
other has fallen sudden lu and the hammer of the
ia uped and the hand of the ship carpenter is
stayed while they listen with Wonderland surprise the
to state of war, and il almost impossible
for England to fall back into the old pacific routine OF the
last forty years it appeared two years ago for her TO
shake of the peaceful habits and associations which those
forty years had created Nor would suspect be per-
ecy say that the country balls the prospects so
suddenly offered OF return to peace with unmxed and
unaoyed satisfaction. No Is so inhuman to argue
for in the abstract but there great many sus
pect who think that It's continuance for another year
would have Of good than Of evil Our preparations
are so vast our army and navy assuming much
promising aspect than before and the power Of
Russia Is vsbly reduced and shaken that we might
reasonably hope ut the end Of another campaign only
TO dictate terms much CRADLE but have for them
the best Of all possible guaranteesthe exhaustion
and prostration Of our adversary
In such cases, however 1t is wise 10 propiae that
Nemesis which Is apt to wait those whose overwfen
ing expectations Of future good fortune render them blind
10 the opportunities OF the present and close hand
upon that certain which is within its grasp rather
than open II to snatch fortune aung but
also doubtful and dangerous To be delivered from
rapid increase of national debt from the prospect Of
ten-per-cent income tax and constant arrangement Of
monetary systemic curb eecualy the nsoleuce and
aggression OF power which two years ago would only
copdesccnd TO answer earnest remonstrances by
naughty and expressive silence treating them the
metaphor OF the Empress Catherine as the does the
wolves that bay AT ber"those advantages solid and
substantial that would change them for The most
brilliant future that aured and deluded the visionary
the enthusiast Let only be that we have ouy
got what ask for and shall bear with much philosophy
the loss OF all the fine things that another year Of might
bring
We would, however canton the public against the
persuasion that the ee2spho messages onr correspond

government the Paris Bourse necessarily mpywhat
