PEACE N2SoTIATIoNs.-Nothi in reality
is known.<f the proceedings OF tile peace ne
gotiatj>Ss. The Emancipation BEIGE pub.
lls>cs communication purporting to proceed
<Irom Paris, which says the first four points
were at once decided on Thursday, that the
discussion of Saturday was reported 10 be very
warm, and was SO in fact between Baron Bru-
now and the English PlenipotentiaIies, dur
ing which Count Orloff remained quiet, but
at last he broke his long silence, and said as
follows: "Peace must be restored to the civ
ilized world; we are all great enough to pass
over certain details. 1t was l who made the
treaty of Adrianope, md to me it belongs to
tear it. We accept the rectifcation of the
limits proposed for Bessarabia and for the
Asatic Provinces; we adhere to the condi-
ton about not re- establishing the fortress of
Bomarsund, and desire thatthe Isles OF Aland
shall be menace for no one. There is no
difficulty as Nicolaef, and we give up without
compensation, the city of Kars, to our ancient
and good ally, the Sultan"
The Emancipation goes on to say, that this
language caused, as well it might, a profound
sensation, so profound that the Plenipotentia.
ries remained silent, no doubt with Joy. One
OF them found utterance sufficiently to say
AS we are all agreed, let us sign. The sigma
lures were at once affixed, and the penipo-
tentiares shook hands and parted. The Epnan-
cipation unluckily adds that on the following
day, Monday, the Emperors speech would
contain the announcement that peace was
made. The Independence does not enter so
much into details. but it maintains its asser-
ton of the prelminares being signed, and
also states that the Emperors speech would
contain the announcement about peace
The story is regarded in Paris as similar to
that OF the first taking Of Sebastopol, and has
already the appellation Of canard a Ia tartare.

state of things, aud it is suspected that COM
bination exists, both III Paris and Brussels,
Tor the fabrication of news, with a view of
