LoNDoN, january 26th.-The London Daj-
ly Ae,cs learns on uDdoubted authority that
the Preliminary Treaty of Peace will be
signed probably before Tuesday, and certainly
before the meeting of Parliament An ar
mistice will be concluded Immediately after
signing the preliminaries and the negotiations,
with view to fiual comprehensive treaty Will
be commenced forthwith The NeCs further
learns that it is the determination Of the
allied powers TO exercise to the full extent the
right reserved to them by the fifth article of
the Austrian proposals, to bring forward addi-
tional stipulatlous for the general welfare Of
Europe. y despatch from Berlin states that
the peace proposals We're strongly supported
in St. Petersburg. by Holland
The Daily AescS, city article, says the
funds to-day experienced an unfavorabe re-
action of ! per cent, but after o marked q
rise that lately Witnessed, partial relapse
is not surprising The chief depressing IN
tuence appears to rest with the continues
sales on government account, taG bank ul
England having made large advances to gov
ernment Government seIss stock Tor the
latter. and thus draws the notes issued IN
payment of dividends, and owing to the de-
mand in money against these sales. and to
meet to-day's instaliment Of the Turkish loan,
the money market III the Stock Exchange was
rather strngent-lenders could easily get
per cent. on government securities; out Of
doors, however, there was no tightness.
The London Times intimates that Lord
Clarendon Will represent Great Britain at the
conference, which viii probably be held at
Frankfort after the prehminaries of peace are
signed. Baron Brunow and Count Orlof will
appear on part of Russia. The Persia left
Liverpool on the 10th, bringing London pa
pers of Friday and tslegraphic dispatches Of
Saturday morning. The steamship Belgogue
came near laundering at sea, having sprung
a leak roc miles West of the Lizards, and it
was only by the united exertions Of passen-
gers and crew that she was kept afoat until
reaching Southampton, when she was found
to have six feet water in her hold, and one OF
her boilers had also burned out.
