DAILY PArERs.--A year ago there were
Elk daily papers in Detroit, now there sre
but three. Remaining on this tact lhs Free
| Press expresses the following opinions which
are applicable to other localities besides that
Of Detroit -
"Whoever multipiiss this number for some
time 10 come will lose money or credit. or
both. The cost Of producing daily paper
at this point Is something greater than for.
merly, The expense OF making the Free
Pres. hasincressed one hundred per cent
in FIVE years, and will continue to increase
as competition between the METROPOLITAN
aud western press i enhanced By steady az.
proasbe toward the humiliation Of space.
une as the local wants ofthe country demand
more expensive papers. There will be diff.
hculties, more capital will be required--in
commencing and mai,aining in this city a
daily journal hereafter than have been in the
way, or has been required hitherto. We
seriously advise whoever may be ambitious
OF ewspaPer tame hereabout to count well
the cost, and the probable chances OF sue
cess, before launching their burques upon a
'empestuous sea"

time in order stiil better to keep appear.
auccs, We viii cause Your representatives
at St Petersburg TO be treated with cold
ness, and oar people generally TO raise an
outcry agrinst Austrian ingrafitude. All
this will keep up the confidence Of the allies
in your sincerity anil give you a more 20
tent voice in every final question
At the last moment before the with
drawal Of your ambassador, aud after you
have gone through with the prctence Of re-
fusing to entertnin the slightest modifica-
tions, we will unrcsorvedly accept oil that
is necessary. and proclaim that in doing so
VIC yield not TO the allies but to the will Of
Europe. In the jubilee for peace, few will
care to inquire why We refused to submit
to the voice Of Europe until we had caused
the death Of half million Of human beings,
or why, If it is not necessity that compels
US 10 yield, we descend 10 terms ten times
worse than those which a year ago we de-
clared no nation could submit to without
dishonor
When oblivion Of the past suits the
convenience Of nations the logician is never
heard, and even before the treaty Of peace
is signed the Gar will again be n magnan-
imous monarch, and capitalists in London
and Paris will have no higher hope than
we intend tn ask them for loan"
The acceptance Of the Austrian propo
sitions has been published officially at st.
Petersburg. The announcement states
that the chief condition in the neutralisa-
tion Of the Black Sea, to be secured by
treaty between Russia and Turkey, Russia
being ready to discuss the other points.
AFFAIRS IN THE CRIMEA-Accounts from
the Crmea to the 9th of January, mention
no fact Of the least Importance. The cold
was intense, aud the sea had frozen along
the coast, but particularly in the ports of
kazatch and Balaklava, and in the road
stead Sebastopol.
The CIAYToN-BULwER TREATY.-A good
deal Of attention has been fixed on this
treaty respecting the point in Central
America,-which figured so largely in the
Presidents message-and it is gratifying
to observe that the whole Of the British
press, without an exception, which has dis
cussed the subject, has arrived at the con-
clusion that such a miserable bone Of con-
tention is beneath the dignity Of embroil-
ing the two greatest nations in the world
