sage out.
The news by this arrival is of great impor-
lance
The London Times Vienna correspondent tel
egraphs under date Of Wednes dav the 10Th at
10 A. NJ, that Russia has unconditionaiiy accsp-
ted the propositions Of the German diet.
This was reported to be authentic and caused
an immense excitement throughout England but
the government dispatch peblished the next day
put II different face upon the alair-being in eff
feet that Russia had only accepted the allied pro-
Posals as basis of negotiation.
This slightly relaxed public confidence, and
less sanguine hopes were now entertained
Doubts were expressed that Russia had merely
accepted the proposals to prolong the negota
tons and gain time.
The above is about the sum of all tho news
The prospect of a speedy return of peace swal
lowed up all else.
The news of Russia's acceptance of the allied
propositions, caused an immense sensation. The
funds rose three per cent, an1 cotton once far
thing, A panic also ensued in the other mar
kets.
The next day the English government pub
lished despatch from Minister Seymour as fol.
lows.
The qualified announcement curbed the excite
ment, and the aarmsts begin to fear that Rus
STA merely wants to gain time by deceptive nego-
tiatons: meantime the funds remain steady.
Previous to the above announcement, the Wen
ma papers represented the state of affairs as most
serious and alarming, and stated that the person
mel of the Austrian Embassy had received orders
to quit.
The actual facts in connection with the prop
ostions are, that when the Austrian Ambassador
handed the allied note to Nesserode he said he
not authorized to enter into discussion. but
if the note not excepted Internationally be-
fore the 18th he and all the Austrian Embassy
must leave st. Petersburg. TO prevent this
Nesselrode communicated with Vienna direct
and Prince Gortchakoff at Vienna had a talk with
Count Buol, in which the former produced a mem
orandum expressing the general inclination of
Russia to negotiate. but proposing certain al
terations.
Count Boul received the document but in as
much as it did no contain the conditional accep-
tance ofthe propositions, Austria could not reply
without the concurrence of France and England.
| The Ambassadors of the powers were according
ly sent to at London and Paris, and reply
received that the Western powers had no motive
to change the decision already carefully consider
ed; and further, that if Russia did not accept by
the 18th, Count Esterhazy and Austrian legation
would leave, and Austria would Immediately seek
to obtain the assured co opeoation of the other
powers.
the Russian Embassy had beeu ordered to
leave Vienna during the week elapsing between
Russia's first and second reply, and intense APP
prehension existed in Vienna but ON the 10th
these apprehensons subsidized by the announce
nents above stated that Russia agrees to ne
goae on the terms proposed.
