ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.
ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE.

The steamer Arabia arrived at Halifax on
Thursday evening with Liverpool dates to the
10Th ult., being one week later. The news
by this arrival is very important.
The London Times Vienna correspondent
telcgraphS under date of Wednesday. the 10Th
at 10 \. NJ. that Russia has Internationally
accepted the propositions Of the German diet
This was reported 10 be authentic. and
caused an immense excitement throughout
England, but the government dispatch pub
lished the next day put different face upon
the aifair--bcing in effect that Russia had
only accepted the allies proposals as basis of
negotiation.
This slightly relaxed public confidence, and
less sanguine hopes were now entertained.
Doubts We're expressed that Russia had mere
~ accepted the proposals TO prolong the ne
gotations and gain time.
The above is about the sum of all the
news. The prospect of speedy return of
peace swallowed up all else.
SECOND DESPATCH.
The news of Russias acceptance of the
allied propositions. caused an immense scnsa.
ton. The funds rose per cent, and cotton
| farthing. A panic also ensucd in the other
markets.
The next day the English government pub
!ish.d a despatch from Minister Seylnorc, as
follows:
Russia agrees to accept the proposals as a
basis of negotiations"
This qualified announcement curbcd the OK
element, and the alarmlstS begin to fear that
Russia merely wants to gain time by dcccp-
tive negotiations; meantime the funds remain
steady.
Previous to the above announcement, the
Vienna papers represented the state Of affairs
as most serious and alarming, and stated that
the personal of the Austrian Embassy, had
received orders to quit.
The actual facts in connection with the
propositions are, that when the Austrian
Ambassador handed the allied note to Ncsscl.
rode, he said he was not authorized to enter
into discussion, but if the note was not &C

all the Austrian Embassy must leave St.

communicated with Vienna direct. and Prince
liortschakol at Vienna had talk with Count
huol. in which tie former produced mem
orandnm expressing the general inclination
OF Russia to negotiate, but proposing certain
alterations.
Count Buol received the document, but in
asmuch as it did not contain the unconliton-
al acceptance Of the propositions. Austria
could not reply without the concurrence of
France and England. The ambassadors of
hose powers were accordingly sent to at Lon
don and Paris, and reply was received that
The cStern powers had no motive to change
the decision already carefully considered: and
further that if Russia did not accept by the
18th, Count Estcrhazy and the Austrian L..
CATION would leave, and Austria would i'm
mcdlately seek to obtain the assured cooper
alton of the other powers.
The Russian Embassy had been ordered to
leave Vienna during the week clapsing be-
tween Russia S first and second reply and an
intense apprehension existed in Vienna, but
