Halifax, Wednesday, Jan. l6
The P. Ms S. America, arrived from
Liverpool on the morning ofthe 9th, at 7
o'clock P. NJ, with peace negotiations.
There is nothing of an official character
with respect to peace negotiations; but
there is evidently in quarters well inform
ed growing impression that negotiations
will not terminate satisfactorily.
Count Nesselrode addressed a circular
note to representatives-in-chie of Russia
at foreign courts, dated st. Petersburg,
Dec. q. In this note it is stated that
Russia and Turkey will proceed by spe-
cial direct treaty to arrange peace matters
without any interference of other nations.
By this it would seem that Russia will not
permit the Allies to negotiate terms for
Turkey. In this dispatch something is
said about number of ships to be mutually
maintained between Russia and Turkey.
but its meaning was not very clear.
The terms of peace are those mentioned in
the London Times of December 18th.
Three weeks from date of delivery is the
time allowed for consideration
The Emperor of Austria has addressed
an autograph letter to the King of Prussia,
asking him to support the new PROPOSE
ton; and Saxony and Bavaria will, it is
thought, also give their sanction.
Russia, it is expected, will not positive
ly reject them. She will make counter
proposals, and then negotiations will be
re-opened at Vienna or Paris, on bases of
Austrian ultimatum.
A squadron of Gen. Vivan's Anglo-Tur-
kish cavalry was reported to have been de-
feated near Kertsch by the Cossacks on
the 18th of December, and the command
ing officer taken.
| Omer Pasha was at Sewaon on the Both
of November, and was obliged to encamp,
owing to heavy rains. There was re-
port that he was in full retreat.
1t was also reported that Gortshkoff
would be superseded by Gen. Ostensacken,
and that Pelisier had been appointed COM
mander-in-chief of the Allied armies.
The Sound Dues Conference has proved
to be a complete failure Russia mas declar-
ed that she will not consent to proposals
for capitalizing toll, and Lord Clarendon
has given Denmark plainly to understand
that if she allows the American or any
other flag to pass without payment of
dues, England will expect to be placed on
exactly the same footing.
