There is nothing new Of an official character
with respect to the peace negotiations. but there
is evidently in quarters usually well informed.
growing impression that negotiations will not ter
inmate in a satisfactory manner.
Count Nesselrode has addressed circular note
to the representatives of Russia at the chef for
egn Courts, dated St. Petersburgh, Dec. -. In
this note it is stated that Russia accepts the third
POINT, relative to the naturalization Of the Black
Seain the following sense: That Turkeys right
to close the Straits be maintained that no ships
oiwar te admitted in the Black Sea excepting
those Of Russia and Turkey; that the number Of
ships to be so maintained be mutually arranged
by Russia and Turkey, that it be ratified by a
direct special treaty between these two powers
without the Interference Of other nations" This
Interpretation the Allies consider to be inadmis
sable.
lie Nord publishes an analysis of Cosnt Nesser-
rodes circular. The circular owns that the de-
sire expressed by the Emperor of the French at a
public solemnity, in favor Of prompt aud durable
peace, was at the same time, and still is, the dear
est wish of the Emperor Alexander. Referring to
the Vienna Conference, the circular casts upon
the Allies the blame Of having rendered them
abortive. So long as his enemies substitute force
for the spirit of justice and Cancellation, the Gar
was obliged to remain silent but as soon as he
heard his enemies were disposed to take up again
the negotiations Of peace on the bgsis Of the four
points, he did hesitate to come forward frankly to
meet these pacific dispositions, and to seek earn
estly possible solution of the third po NJ The
Russian propositions are already known The
circular concludes by saying that Russia calmly
and confidently await the decision of her enc
mics.
When Austria and the Western Powers agreed
upon the conditions to be sent to ST. Petersburg,
She agreed not to communicate to other powers
what those terms were until they should have
reached their destination; secrecy was kept.
Count Esterhazy reached St. Petersburg on the
26th, and the next day laid the propositions before
the Russian Cabinet. On the 2sth, Count Buol
communicated to Prince GortschakofT at Vienna,
| the terms on which the western powers would as
sent to peace, and stated that these terms were ar
/ proved by Austria. The terms are those already
published.
! Russia has made known in Count Nssselrode's
circular, her willingness to treat for the neutrali
cation of the Black Sea, but it is expected that
she will absolutely refuse to assent to the require
ments of d" cession of territory to keep open the
Danube. By the phrase, "cession of so much
territory as is necessary to secure to all nations
the free navigation Of the Danube" is meant
the cession of that part of Bes8arabia which lies
between the fortress of Chotga on the North Salt
Lake, Sacyk on the South, and the river Pruth on
the West.
Three weeks from the day the propositions were
delivered, was the time allowed for their consid-
GRAFTON. Notwithstanding all appearances it is
suspected that Austria will not take the field
against Russia III the spring, unless previously
assured of The active support of the Gemanic
! Bund.
From Sweden the accounts are very warlike.
/ Commanders have received instructions marked
private, to refuse leave of absence, and to have
regiments in the highest state of efficiency by
spring. Indications are that in accordance with
the secret article of the treaty Sweden will openly
take the field with the Allies in the spring Sweden
has on hand some millions Of thalers surplus rev
enue, which is to- be devoted to equip tire army
and navy.
The Danish Government is reported to have
consented to the establishment of depots Of stores
for the English feet at Kiel, and the English feet
! is to rendezvous there in April.
