SUDDEN DEATH.-A French physician
named Phillip Lambert, died very suddenly
on Saturday night last, at about 10 o'clock,
while sitting in an arm chair in the bar
room of the Georgetown Hotel. There
were eight or ten persons present at the
time and no one knew when he expired
The person who first noticed him, remark
ed that he believed Lambert was dead, and
upon examination such proved to be the
case. Deceased was addicted to intemper-
ance and his death was supposed to have
been caused by the excessive use of intox-
icating liquors, which produced delirium
tremens. For three or four days prior to
Saturday he was very much intoxicated.
and but few minutes previous to his death
he called for and drank glass of brandy
and water. An inquest was held over the
body on Sunday morning, and a verdict rem
dered in accordance with the above facts

The grand news is that Russia agrees to
negotiate for peace on the terms proposed
by the Allies. The first announcement OF
it was made by the Vienna telegraph to
the London News, in these words
"Russia accepts the Allies proposals un-
conditionally. This is authentic"
The announcement caused immense SEN
sation. Funds rose 4 per cent, and Cotton
Il pence, and the panic reigned in other
markets.
The next day the same print published a
despatch from Minister Seymour at Wen
ma, viz
Russia agrees to accept the Allies pro-
posals as basis of negotiations"
This qualified announcement curbed the
excitement and the Alarmists began to fear
that Russia merely meant to gain time by
deceptive negotiations. Meantime funds
remained steady.
Previous to the advancement, the Vienna
papers represented the state of affairs as
most serious, unexpected and alarming, and
that all the members of the Austrian en-
bassy have received orders to quit ST. Pc
tersburgh, and the Russian embassy was
ordered to leave Vienna. The actual cir
cumstances were that when Count Esterha-
zy handed to Count NesselrOde at st. Pc
tersburgh, the Austrian allied note of Dec
I'd, he said he was not authorized to enter
into negotiations Internationally. Before
JAN 6th, he and all the Austrian embassy
must leave st. Petersburgh. To prevent
this event, Nesselrode communicated with
| Vienna direct, and on Jan. 18th Prince
Gortschakoff at Vienna, had talk with
Count Buol, in which GortSchakOff prOdu
ced memorandum, expressing inclination
! on the part of Russia to negotiate but pro
posed certain alterations in the programme
On the 10th, apprehenslonS were set at rest
by the account above stated that Russia
agrees to negotiate the terms proposed.
