Pacific sentiments are on the increase.
The intentions Of Russia are as much in
question as on former occasions, but appear.
ances are all fair and straightforward. The

cease hostilities without waiting for a for
NAL armistice, although it is rumored that
an srmistice is agreed on for three mon tbs
France, England and Austria continue 10

questions must arise during regulations

A despatch to-day Ut doubtful authority says
it will certainly be either Paris or London:

after signing the preliminaries and negotia-
lions. A final compromise treaty will be
signed Immediately. 1t further learns that

to exercise to the full extent the right re-
served to them by the 9th article OF the
Austrian proposals to bring about addition
al stipulations for the general interest Of
Europe.
A despatch from Berlin states that the
peace proposals are thoroughly supported at
st. Petersburgh, by Holland.
The Daily Nsaos has city article which
says the funds had experienced unfavorable
reaction x per CT, but after so marked
rise as that lately witnessed, a partial re-
lapse is not surprising. The chief depres-

be the basis OF interior pacific negoti atoms,
and for the present may DO considered a.
true.
The acceptance OF the propositions had
produced considerable sensation in that cap.
itaI with the exception of the officials. This
sudden return to pacific ideas was general
ly gladly received, not merely by the old
Muscovite party, bnt also by the mass OF
the people, The popular fanaticsm had
been aroused to such pitch after the fall
Of Sebastopol, that it was thought peace
