ARRIVAL OF THE ARABIA.
New YORK, Jan. 81.


New YORK, Jan. 81.
RUSSIA ACCEPTS THE ALLIES TERMs-The
AroJia, from Liverpool, Saturday the 10Th,
with 1O7 passengers, arrived at Halifax
Thursday 3lst., at L. M. .r.tf.u
The GRAND news of the week is that, Rus
STA agrees to negotiate on the terms proposed
by the Allies. The final announcement was
made at Vienna, and telegraphed to the Lon
don Times in these words:
"Russia accepts the Allied propositions un-
conditionally. This is authentic"
1t caused immense sensation, finds rose 8
per cent, Cotton one farthing, and panic
reigned in other markets. Next day the gov
eminent published a despatch from Minister
Seymour at Vienna as follows:
Russia agrees to accept the Allies pro-
posals as basis of negotiation"
This qualified announcement curbed the
excitement and all alarmists begin to fear
that Russia merely seeks to gain time by de-
ceptive negotiations. Meantime funds re-
main steady as previous to the above an
nouncement. Vienna papers represented the
state of affairs as most serious and alarming,
and that all the persons of the Austrian en-
bassy had received orders to quit st. Peters
burgh, and the Russian embassy to leave vi
emma. The actual circumstances were that
the Count Esterhazy handed to Count Mes
selrode, at st. Petersburgh, the Austrian Al
lied note of Dec. I'd. He said that he was
instructed not to enter into discussion but if
the note was not accepted Internationally
before January 9Th, he and all the Austrian
embassy were to leave st Petersburgh. To
prevent this, Nesselrode communicated with
Vienna direct and Jan. 10, Prince Grotcho-
koff at Vienna had talk with Count Buol,
in which Gortchokoff produced memoran-
dunn, expressing general inclination on the
part of Russia to negotiate, but proposed
certain alterations in the programme. Count
Buol formally received the document the next
day, Friday the 18th, but in as much as it
did not contain an acceptance pure and sim
pie of the proposition, Austria could make
no reply without the concurrence of France
and England. The ambassadors of those
powers accordingly sent to Paris and Lon
don, and received for a reply that the West
ern powers had no motive to give up de-
cision which had been already carefully con-
sidered; and further, that if by Jan. 18th,
Russia did not accept the ultimatum, Ester
hazy and the Austrian Legation wonld leave
st. Petersburgh, and Austria would seek to
obtain the armed cooperation of The Ger
manic diet against Russia. During the week
that elapsed between Russians first and sec
ond reply, intense apprehension existed, al
though without sufficient cause, for the Aus
trian Cabinet had taken precautions to mott
fly the Western powers, that Notwithstanding
a rupture of diplomatic relations, Austria
would not be in position to commence hos
tilities this year. On the 10th apprehensions
were set at rest by the announcement above
stated, that Russia agrees to negotiate on
terms proposed.

HE SPEAKERsHIP.-W have news from
Washington up to Feb. LIST. No speaker
elected-all parties seem extremely anxious
to have an organization effected, but are I'M
willing to compromise with each other so as
to bring about the desired result, many plans
have been submitted, but all have signally
failed.
The Senate is at present occupied with the
Central American question; General Cass
and Mr.. Seward have already spoken upon
the question. Mr.. Foote, of Vermont, was
to have spoken last Monday.
Gen. Cass took up the Monroe doctrine
and discussed it at some length, in opposition
to Mr.. Calhoun's views. He believed the
difficulties between England and the United
States would never be settled while Lord
Palmerston was at the head of the British
Ministry.
Gen. Wilson is expected to speak on the
same question. He will advocate the abro-
cation of the Clayton Bulwer treaty, because
no Interpretation of it can be agreed upon
by the high contracting powers, nor even by
the leading statesmen of our own country,
and because Great Britain has violated its
provisions He is out and out in favor of re-
cognizing Walkers Government.

DENTON HOUSE DEDICATION.


Three cheers for this house, capacious and big!
A hall for the thousands to shuttle the jig;
A bar-room and parlors, and a long room for din
ner.
He that calls not at Denton's must repent like II
sinner
The doctor, the lawyer, the tinker, the Priest,
All follow professions to feather their nest
Bnt the laughing landlord who gives us good cheer,
In comparing vocations has nothing to fear.
Fat turby, fresh oysters and the best of roast beef
And all the nice fxings, for the ready relief
OF the hungry, the weary, the humble and the
chaste,
On hand, always ready to pamper the taste.
What then the landlord to the lady compared
With her sweet meats and dainties she heaps up
the board; Gia
Has smile and welcome in store for each guest;
She smoots the soft pillow that invites us to rest
Then hurrah for the Denton House, now and for
ever!
May it flourish and prosper, be the pride of Grand
River,
And all the bright hopes Of the public fulfill,
Always u home for the stranger at Eastmanville.

Et5- The attention ofour readers issolicited
to the Eastern news by the Ara6ia, from which
we learn that Russia, Internationally accepts
the terms proposed by the allies, as a basis
for negotiation. This renders peace with the
belligerent powers probable; at least it pre-
pares the way for further negotiations, which
will doubtless be conducted to speedy and
successful issue, if national pride does not
cause disagreement upon some minorpoints.
