PARIS, Thursday, Jan. o. 1856.
At the first publication of the grand news that
Russia had accepted, without qualification, thepre
liminary terms OF negotiation proposed by Austria
the utmost universal feeling OF gladness was TEN
pered with distrust. Although the publication was
official, doubt remained. 1t was remembered that
the report OF the first taking OF SevastOpol was put
forth similar authority. And as for internal evil
deuce, the taking Of SeyastOpO at first assault
seemed much more probable in itself than the ac-
ceptance BY Russia of terms in which she relin.

said snxiCusly, this is too good news to be true.
There is either trick on the part of the Car. or
error Oh the part of the telegraph. But withevery

LONDON, Friday, Jan. -, 1856.
The preliminaries of peace are not yet signed

eaxerness for peace at Paris should exert preju-
dical influence ON the negotiations; the original,
deeply.rooted but for a while entirely forgOttea

ing and the fact that the illegtimate brother of the
Emperor, Count MOrry, openly expresses his dis
like of the English alliance, prognOsticates no long
duration to the entente eoriiGte. Though the
English papers have net yet mentioned the topic,
the image Of all eventual Russo-Frcnch alliance
futters before the bewildored eyes Of the public.
In any case it is strange that the first partially de-
clinlng answer Of Russia is suddenly followed by
the acceptance of the Austrian proposals after an
interview between the Gar and Baron Seebach the
Saxon Minister, who arrives fresh from long per-
sonsl interview with Napoleon. 1t seems indeed
~ If the German volunteer dplOmatist had been
the bearer of secret pledges from Paris to st. Pc
terbarg. Accordingly the English papers do not
heartily congratulate themselves on the prospects
Of peace; they are evidensy displeased with the
turn affairs have taken, aud Try to damp the
more sanguine hopes OF the continental public.
As to The Times, the great thunderer can scarcely
conceal his disappointment and he insults Russia
with that studied contempt which is his most pow
erful weapon. Emperor Alexander is accordingly
advised to give up all ideas of conquest and ex.
psnsion; to forget the example of Peter, Cath
srine, Alexander and Nicholas, and encouraged TO
embrace the principles of peace. progress, army

THE RrMORS OF PEACE.

An infinite number OF Tumors are in active clrcula
tcn touching the peace. They are OF all descriptions
aud cannot be sysoinatzed In England, for instance,
they say that Prussia will not be admitted as party
10 the negotiations. At Berlin, on the other hand the
greatest confidence is felt that Prussia will be invited
10 participate III the conferences as n leading Power.
Sardinia was formally acquainted with the Austrian
PROPOSITIONS and will Of course be summoned 10 take
a share in the negotiations, BY many it is believed
that seeing how many of the Powers are interested,
and the European importance of what relates to the
Principatos and to Christians in the East, the Dego-
tiatous will assume the magnitude of a European
Congress- Russia will probably concede the dlsman-
tirg of Bomarsnd, providing she can save Ncolaeii.
Count Ncssclrode has addressed the representatives
Of Russia in foreign courts declaring that Russia has
made concessions with view 20 the establishment
of peace out of Difference TO the representations Of
friendly powers and not because the interests of Rus
sa call for the conclusion Of that peace NJ de NeSse
rodes circular is backed by assertion in the Russian
official journal the effect that in consideration of the
general wish of Europe, the Government of the Car
