oszaEOns.
Nnw YoRK, Jan. 28.-The steamship Airi-
ca, from Liverpool the 9th instant, arrived at
her dock at o'cIoek this morning. Her adj
vices contain nothing new Of Importance
The Peace question remained unchanged, and
later accounts are merely an extension of
the Peace rumors brought by tile previous
steamer.
The Africa brings so passeng gers. She left
Liverpool at ID 0 clock on the morning of
the 9th.
Russia's answer to the last proposition can
not arrive before he1Oth, and will probably
be some days later, and it is expected will
contain neither absolute assent or refusal, but
will make counter proposals to be settled by
renewed conferences. The feeling in England
continues warlilte, and in France is again be-
coming so. Russia continues incessant prep.
arations for war.
Nothing important from the Crmea. The
French blew up one of the Seyastopol docks
on the 22d.
The grand council of Allied Generals is now
in session in Paris
The proposed council on the Danish Sound
Dues is postponed indefinitely.
Rumors are revived of Naples joining the
Alliance.
Sweden is making active warlike prepara-
tons.

ably of the disposition of Russia 10 consider
the allied proposals.

ASIA The Russian army took position at
Kars, Dec. 3, the troops being quartered in
the town.
AT Zeni1eni, village of Road Erzeroun,
the Russians had collected large stores OF pro-
visions.
The Russian General is apprehensive Of an
attack upon Kars by Selim Pasha; conse-
quently he has concentrated all his available
forces at that point. Seliln Pasha was en-
camped in the Mountain Dereh Foynon.
a Russian attack on Erzeroum is not consid-
cred probable at present., in consequence of
the exhaustion Of the troops and the state OF
the roads.
NEGorIATfoNs.-Noth definite yet known
from st. Petersburg. Speoulatlons continue
contradictory as ever. Interviews had taken
place between Count Nesselrode and Prince
Esterhazy, but the man question had not
been discussed. The most that is expected
from Russia is a modified counter proposition,
such as may ensure further negotiate IN and
delay. In the meantime, the tone of the
J French goysrnment becomes more warlike,
while Russian preparations to continue the
conflict are larger than ever.
1t is again confidently asserted that Austria
will submit the peace propositions to the Ger
man Diet, and call on the Diet to support
them.

Batoum. His army had suffered much from
lack of provisions before reaching Kutais, and

dent to return. The fall Of Kars had render.

and Tre5izond.
RUssA.-Advices from ,Okhotek state that
the Allied feed had quilted the Gulf without
finding the cannon buried by the Russians
The grand war council at St. Petersburg
was principally oengaged on questions relat-
ing to terrifying the stragetic points of the
empire. The Notifications at Kew will be
finished before the close of the winter.
