not appear favorable to prospects Of peace.
Count Esterhszy is said to have had an inter-
view with Count Nesselrode; but, according to
public rumor, no approach to the delicate sub
ject of the adjustment OF terms of peace was
made. The feeling in st. Petersburg, 30 far
as il can be ascertained, seems warlike. Prince
Menschikofi--the champion OF the Muscovite or
war party-whese disgrace was enormously
reported some time since, has been appointed
to the command Of Cronstadt, with two Sebas
topol veterans to serve as his ieutenants. On
the Continent the impression prevails that the
Baltic will be this year the chief theatre Of
war. Immense preparations are being made in
England, gunboats built, men Of war equipped,
marines levied for q vigorous campaign. Nor
is Russia backward. Four complete armies are
conce ntrated o. different points between Fin
land and the Gulf of Riga. Cronstadt is filled
with artillery Of the moo. effective and modern
build. New levies are still being raised in the
North. With these exertions, and the help OF
six months winter, the Russians feel confident
in being able to repel the threatened attack.
II Is not improbable, in fact, that the whole
arena Of lighting may be changed this season
From eports Of allied engineers which have not
been made public-though their contents have
leaked QUIT is thought unlikely that the
operations in the Crmea will be prosecuted
With any particular vigor. The Allies will
hold the ground they occupy between the bay
Of Sebaatopol and the bay of Balaklaya:
but may not advance into the interior, or
trouble the Russians in the northern forts. In
Georgia and Asia Minor, on the contrary, it is
likely that hostilities will DE prosecuted on
81 extended scale. At the present moment,
Asia Minor is practically lost TO Turkey. The
fail Of Ksrs involving the fail Of Erzeroum,
has opened the road TO the Caspian aud to
Persia the Russians will not allow il TO be
closed without severe struggle. especially
now that the capture Of Herat has effected q
breach Ia the inner detences Of British India.
