The Winchester appeal. [volume] (Winchester, Tenn.) 1856-1856, 1856-02-16

We have received the followingtcl-
egraphic dispatch from our Berlin cor
respondent:
Berlin, Jan l7.---Russia has &C
cepted Autria's proposals.
Official men attribute this to the
urgency Of Prussia's representations
and remonstrances."
TIE GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCEMENT.
A third edition ofthe Morning Post,
Ministerial, says that her Majesty's
Government has received the follow
ing telegraphic dispatch from Sir
Hamilton Seymour:
"The Russian Government accept
the Austrian proposals as a basis for
negotiations"
The London Globe January 18th,
says:
We have reason to believe that the
announcement Of morning cotempo-
rary, that the Austrian ultimatum has
been accepted Internationally by Rus
STA is substantially correct: and that
her propositions have been accepted
as basis for negotiation. We have
no doubt that the allied Governments
will meet this acceptance in a friend
j y spirit, and with a firm detcrmina-
ton, if possible, to conclude q safe and
honorable peace.
They must not forget, however, the
intricate course of Russian diploma
cy on former occasions; that she ac-
cepted the well known -Four Points"
not long since--with what result is
known. We trust Russia will enter
into the present negotiation in a spirit
that will preclude similar disappoint-
ment on this occasion.
The announcement, as may be
well supposed, caused the greatestex-
citement in the metropolis. At the
Stock Exchange the effect upon the
Funds was unprecedented. In fact,
every class appeared heartily rejoiced
at the first CLEAN of hope which has
presented itself since the commence
ment Of hostilities. That the intelli-
gence can be relied upon there dan
be no doubt. 1t is from an authentic
source, and other telegraphic mess g-
cs confirm the glorious news. If any
, further evidence was required of the
eager desire of every rational man,
in both kingdoms, for peace, it would
be confirmed by the joyful countenan-
; ces borne yesterday by the citizens OF
Paris and London. In the former
city true effect upon the Bourse was
l if possible, more favorable than even
upon our own Exchange.
No man in France more sinccfcly
= rejoices at the suspicious turn Of
t events than our august ALL himscf,th
, Emperor Napoleon. He is we'll
: aware that a prolongation of the wal
t would, in the end, spread like a deras.
= tating conhagration over the whole
1 Continent Of Europe; and the SHOCK
: of so tremendous a clash of arm:
, would have rocked to their very cen
. tres old dynasties, and made monarch:
tremble upon their thrones. The
t continuation of the war has already
: almost paralised trade; money has be
e come scarce, and interest has beer
e demanded at almost ruinous rates by
e even our own Bank of England; pro
t visions and the common necessaries o
2 life, have arrived at starvation prices
S and if, after two years war, such il
g the state of affairs, what would it b'
| three years hence! Nothing les
2 than national bankruptcy.
: We cannot, as a matter OF course
: enter into the full details OF the rati
. fication of the terms of peace, and thu
: necessary steps which will preced
r that event. At the present moment
h the world is too much engrossed at tin
: realization of it's fondest hopes---
S peace----to calmly enter into details o
: minutia. The news is SO sudden, 81
/. unexpected, and so glorious, that mel
s can only turn their thoughts to on
t source, and offer up the outpolhring
g. eff greatful hearts at the brilliant pros
!. poets which has inaugurated thS yea
1856.
