question which relates to Asatc Turkey This govern
men s nacaly inclined to peace that the foregoing
remarks viii not be taken in good part here but II my
duty TO represent things in their true light
There is negative information of unusual Importance to
be given The prevalent report that the generals OF the
hostile armies have received telegphc orders TO suspend
usage to issue such orders before the prelimnaries of
peace have been signed and that they will hardly reach
this city tefure the 22d instant learned by my letter
yesterday IL is crediby stated that neither the British
French minister this has yet received from
his powers authorizing him to sign the pre-
mnares The seat of the future peace Congress is not
yet fixed on, but out-oheway place likely to be
chosen where the dplomatsis will find good food and
lodging aud nothing to distract their attention from their
important duties.
