THE WAR.
The Invalide Russo announces that Kars was
surrendered TO General Mouravieff on the Goth
November. The Muchir, Wassippacha, eight
other Pachas, General Williams, and the entire
garrison are prisoners of war
Galliguani states that the park of artillery at
| Kars, when it surrendered, numbered 100 field
| pieces and few heavy siege guns. The garrison
is believed to have been about l6, 600 strong. The
defiles between Kars and Erzeroum are held by
| Russians
The Military Gazette of Vienna Of the 9th inst,
| says: General Bebutoff has established his head
quarters at Kutais and intends shortly to resume
the offensive against the Turkish army of Anaklea
| and Redsult Kale. The Russians have good win
ter quarters in the valleys, and the army is abun'
dainty supplied with all it requires by the popua.

seaux of the French army, has been appointed d.
rector of the Fort of Kamesch.

Campbell and Eyre.
Great arrangement were already being made in
the Baltic ports for vietuang and providing the
necessary supplies for the British fleet next spring
Contracts have also been made in Sweden for the
French feet and it was reported, also for an ac-
companying army.
From Russia, we learn that the greatest diff.
Guilty was experienced in maintaining the paper
money in circulation. The patriotic gifts towards
the expenses of the war chiefly made in paper
so that the Treasury gets its notes returned to
it.
Mr.. Russell the Times correspondent in the
Crimea, alludes in strong contradictory language
to the statements made by DIR. Dayega, in refer
ence to the Russian war, and published in the New
York and English journals. He says: "No, no,
doctor; you may be Yankee Muscovite of the
genuine free despot type, but you cannot tell these
little jibs about your dear comrades and expect
says he is only led to make his remarks upon the
Doctors statements "lest the readers of the New
York Herald should take them all for gospel"
THE WAR IN ASIA
The latest intelligence down to the beginning of
December, states that Omar Pacha had neither
attacked, invested, nor advanced on kutais, or
was even likely to march thither. The Sirdar is
endeavoring to establish himself in possession Of
the lower of the rivers of the country bor-
dering On the coast from Redout Kaleh to Fort
Nicholas, and SO secure good basis for future op-
erations His plans may, perhaps, be considera-
bly, modified by the fall of Kars.
Now that kars has surrendered, the Ottoman
army in Asia, independent of that acting under
Omar Pacha consists of corps of 5000 men, ur-
der Vely Pacha; another of 5000, under Selim
Pacha, and a small force under Mustapha Pacha,
which, when last heard of was near Ouzourgete
RUMORS OF PEACE-COUNT ESTERHA-
ZY'S MISSION.
1t is stated by the Hamburg correspondent of
the Daily News, that the King of Sweden has rati-
fed treaty with England and France The two
allied powers guarantee the territorial integrity of
l.&N
part of its territory to Russia. The high contract
ing parties engage to communicate mutually and
reciprocally all propositions coming from Russia
Rumors of peace were still rife in France and
England, and it seemed certain that both Russia
and Austria were aware of the fact A separa-
ton between France and England was not to be
thought Of and if the latter has consented to fore
go any considerations which she may have con-
sidered essential to attaining the object both have
had in view it said to be more out of difference
for her faithful ally than from conviction of her
own as to the necessity of the sacrifice" Count
Esterhazy left Vienna for st. Petersburg, on Sun
day, the 10th, with important dispatches, contain
ing propositions for pacifcation. This document
is Enthusiastically distinct and it is stated to be the
intention of Austria, in the event of refusal of
her utimatum by the Gar to withdraw her Am
bassador from st. Petersburg Some of the Con
tnental journals speculate upon the re-opening of
the Vienna Conferences, whilst others seem very
positive that Russia will consent to nothing which
| she has hitherto re jected.
The Daily News, in reference to Count Esterha
| zy's mission, says BLESSED is he who expecteth
nothing, for he will not be disappointed" The
| French correspondent of the London Times, like.
wise expresses the existence of strong doubts of an
| acceptation of the negotiations by the Gear. In
his letter OF the 18th date this correspondence al
! ludes to difference which existed between the
French and English Governments relative to the
| conditions on which they would make peace with
| Russia and says that rumor mentions the name of
| the King of Sardinia as the principal promoter
of the arrangement of the difficulty
Count Esterhazy'S instructions are to return i'm.
mediatey to Venice in the event of the propositions
of Austria not being accepted by the Russian Gov
| ernment

Samuel Rogers, the poet, author of the Pleasures
| of Memory Italy, and other works of considerable
| merit, has died at very advanced age
Col. Sibthorp member for Lincoln, is dead. He
was notorious for the eccentricy of his speeches
RUSSIA.
| A letter from Odessa of the 5th of December in
| the Cologne Gazette, says THE Grand Duke
Nicholas arrived here to-day, and alighted at the
palace of Prince WoronZoff. There are many of
fcers and generals here who have made the cam.
paign in the Crimea, either to from their
wounds or to take repose. The medals for the de-
fence of Sebastopol are of goldfo the officers, and
of silver for the privates. On side is this in
scription, Dedicated to the brave army in eter-
nal memory of the immortal defence of Sebasto-
pol : and on the other From the ever-tobe re-
GREETED Emperor Nicholas and from Alexander.

A premium has been offered to any one who will

An American house, it is said took up the affair,
and engaged to supply the Russian army with the
material, by sending it through France; but the
French Government has also stopped it, that the
Russian Government is on the point of seeing its
armies with futess muskets. The percussion mus

BERLIN, Dec. l6-There is talk here of circular
note having been addressed by Count Nesselrode
TO the representatives of Russia the subject OF
peace Inc contents of this circular, as repre-
sented by those who pretend to know all about it,
for my part do not believe in its existence,)
semble 80 much the views put forward by the
representatives of Russia at the Vienna confer

the worse since then, or else that nothing Is to be
got out of her by diplomatic means
