Great depression prevailed in CONNER
cisl circles on the 18th, under the influence
of the news Of peace negotiations.
The London Stock Exchange was mate
rally affected aud Consols declined about
one-half per cent. owing to fears that sud-
den peace in America would cause serious
arrangement in financial affairs by q fall
in cotton, and also on account Of political
contingencies. The prospects of peace
were eagerly debated, aud the likelihood of
peace obtained greater credencs than at
any previous time.

The OarL, an eccentric journal publish
ed in London, has recommended the pub
hcstion of T. WIS articles, which attract
much attention from their alleged source
of information, It has the following in re-
gard to Mr.. Blair's mission to Richmond.
We are enabled from special sources of in
formation to give specifically the terms
which Mr.. Lincoln sent through Blair to
Mr.. Davis as basis of pacifcstion. They
are as follows;
lst-The abolition Of slavery to be left
to the State Legislatures as to time and
circumstances; but slavery must be sbol-
ished.
2d-The Confederate States to return to
the Union with the same rights aud priv
ileges, &c, as when they left it.
Sd. The Confederate army is not to be
disbsnde1, but incorporated with the Fed
ersl army for Foreign war. In restor-
ing the Union, the past is to be forgotten.
The second of these propositions being
st once rejected by Mr.. Davis, It became
unnecessary to consider the others. In
reference to this document, we would call
the special attention of our readers.
1st. To the fact that we know on un-
doubted authority, that had Blair not been
invested with full powers from Lincoln, he
would not have been received By Davis
ID To tha fact thEJ Lincoln abandons
emancipation by his own proclamation.
leaving the question to separate State &C
tion.
Sd. To the fact that the policy of his
government points directly TO Foreign sg-
gression.
The so-called spiritual manifestations Of
the Davenport brothers were brought to
an abrupt conclusion st st. Georges Hall,
Liverpool. The audience appointed two
gentlemen to do the rope tying. They
proved too much for, and were objected 70
by the Davenports. Great confusion and
excitement arose. T.ine Davenports escaped,
but their parspn ernslia was smashed to
atoms, and the nall had to be closed by
the police.
TRANCE.
The parsal nuncio had had an audience
with the. emperor, an expressed regret at
the pr .olicity given to private letters sd-
di es sed by him to the Bishops Of Orleans
aid Poictiers.
