n the mission of Count Valentine Esterhazy, Il s
mt erpected to result in negotiations The ProPo-

81 esnture of Kars may be taken a. set-od for
sevastopol BY the Russians and therefore facilitate
she negotiations; but even this advantage has been
psstraliEed by new victory Of Oner Pasha who,

about the fall Of Kars since he did not IN any way

The peace-tendencies of the French Emperor
have found a semi-Official exponent in an article
of the Paris Constitutional, which has excited
considerable interest as some influential people
believe that it contains the tacit pledge to carry
On the war beyond the original aim of the treaty
Of April 10, 1854, in the Gar should not ac-
eept the last proposition. The article runs as
follows:
Gan that the Eastern war could give to France
either in moral political results, IN strength, con-
sideration or influence in the councils of Europe, It
has granted. Why, therefore, if the precise aim for
which the war was commenced has been accomplished,
should not France agree TO peace on the conditions
proposed since the commencement OF hostihes by the
Allied Powers provided such be the wish oil kussld
France could not desire the continuation Of the war
rpless in the view of passing beyond the aim stipu
lated in the treaty of the 10th April when it would
become q question Of Remembering the Russian en-
pre, The latteI act could alone be done at the
profit of some one Power. Would not France,
m that case, require a compensation for the advan
tares which would accrue to our European slater
Would il not be justified in exactng that COM
pensation But in that case IL would no longer
eern the Eastern war with its special sim the treaty
Of the 10th of April with its particular characters it
would be nothing less than the reconstruction of the
map Of Europe and Tevsion of the treaties of 1915.
Certainly if could enter into the thoughts and policy
of England to propose TO France similar measure,
and IL would be found convenient and proper to
France TO entertain the proposal the continuation OF
the war with that aim in view might be desirable to
many and il must be admitted that a conflict Of that
nature notwithstanding the sacrifices it would de-
mand, would be popular. But the Eastern war has
net called that question into existence 10 nOwse the
ain Nth Enc
selves against Russia; and from the moment when ii
is not question Of going out OF the limits Of the treaty
Of the 10th April, there be reasonable motive TO
desire the continuation OF the war;
As 10 the reception with which the propositions
are 10 meet at st. Petersburg the German papers
say that there exists already autograph letter OF
the Gar to his uncle, the King of Prussia openly
declaring that he cannot accept conditions OF
peace, such as have been drawn up by the West
eTn Powers.
The Moniteu of yesterday published the new
treaty concluded ON the 2lst Of November between
France, England, aud Sweden. 1t is in no way
connected with the present war; still 1t lisa check
of the eventual progress OF Russia. Ii Is well
known that Gear Nicholas often tried to geta
footing on the Isle Of Gothland, and on the north
west coast of Norway; that he especially desired the
Fiord of Warsnga, which does not freeze in Win
ter and sought to obtain it by means of cession or
exchange. BY the present treaty the King OF
Sweden engages himself not TO cede TO Russia,
nor TO exchange with her, nor TO allow her to oc-
supy any territory belonging to the Crown OF
Sweden and Norway; and, moreover, not to cede
10 Russia any right Ofpasturage, or Underground,
ON the territories and coasts of the Kingdom, and
10 reject any claim that Russia may raise to establish
the existence of any of the abOve-named rights.
III in consequence of such claims, or occupation,
or proposition to such an end Sweden should
come into trouble with Russia, England and
France engage to resist the claims or aggresslons
of Russia.
Though this treaty falls short of the expecta-
tons Of those politicians who thought that the CO.
operation Of Sweden was already secured for the
Spring campaign, still it is the first step toward
detaching Sweden from its traditional Pro-Russisn
pelicy from which she has never swerved since the
accession Of the Bernad0ttes to the Swedish
throne.
Austria is selling off 10000 artillery and CON-
missariat horses and finally disabling herself from
taking any part in the present war. Her finances
any part in the negotiations, The occupation of
the Princpalities has covered her with disgrace,
but has not in any way contributed TO strengthen
either her power or her influence.
A remodeling of the Turkish Ministry is expected
in Constantiuople, Redshid Pasha having made his
peace with Mehemet Ali; aud beth of them are to
form a new administration, of course altogether
10 the mind of Lord Radcliffe, the srch-intriguer
Mt the East.
