RumoEs oran afmlstice. and consequent
p.Sce have been circulated freely to-day.
General dispatches were received oy
bankeFs, predicting speedy negotiations
Edr peace. and Rt all events, an armlStice.
A dispatch from Brussels says Il iS expcCt'
ed the EnbasSadurs Of France, Austria
and Italy will meet IN that city In few
DAYS, and that Representatives OI France
and Prussia Will be present Rt the con-
ference. Russia will NOT Join unless Il 9
understood that the treaty Of Paris will
be abrOgated, and Il "a not thought that
tho other nations will SRnee 70 IL.
Russia continues 10 send troops TO the
Turkish and Polish frontiers, and
'lt 4 understood that four regt'
meDts which were about 40 start from
Orenburg Tor Central Asia have been or
deretl 10 KIcf Immediately Il Is thought
In Brussels that Russia really desires war,
but & only preparing TO take advantage
Of the situation. Several war ships nave
len COnStRdt for destination unknown.
The Gulf OT Finland will close shortly,
and Russia does not wish her feet sealed
up, A letter from ST. Petersburg 10 the
IHdtpeNdsRcS Rl0s says the Russian sym.
pathy for France IL steadily Increasing,
and several papers that formerly taYored
Prussia have changed their tone. The
Gods suvgestS that tic interests Of France
and Russia are identical, so far as Asia y
concerned, and great results may 10 ex-
Dected from tue harmonious action Of tue
Two countries. OnO Russian paper Eng.
Cests an embassy from France TO Russia
10 Investigate the recent massacre IN
China, and demand a proper Indemnity.
Wall street was Affected today by peace
prospects, and there was general tend
rncy to lower prices. The German bank
ers sold gold quite heavily, In consequence
of dispatches from Berlin and Frankfort
but subsequently made several purchases
champagne had advanced steadily for the
past month, partly owing TO the fears Of u
scarcity, and partly In consequence ol
heavy purchases for speculation. One
man has bought two thousand baskets To
hold for an advance, and other large ioLS
have been taken, Some Of the hotels are
unable to get ali they want oftho tayorile
brands, owing to these speculative pur'
chAscs /.
). A letter from London says "From Pri'
yute, as well rs press letters, by balloon
from Paris, VIC learn that the forces In the
cIty nro augmCnting daily, till nearly the
whole male portion 10 under arms. There
are 100000 ChassepOtS, aud munitions tr
abundance. The chemicals OF the city
arc made into all sorts Of hidcouS instru
ments Of destruction, and not only the
walls and barricades, but the houses arr
furnished with internal machines to ralI
death on tho Invaders, who, on their part
are likely TO throw their shells and com
bustiblcs from safe distance, There are
engines 10 put out fires, which can also O'
used 10 defend breaches or barricndCs
with streams Of burning petroleum. On'
chemist Is making great number OF mn
chimes he calls FuzeO Dc Satan, whtcl
covers half an acre Of ground, with !
solid sIieet Of fire" From oil accounts j
would seem that u good degree orordGrant
discipline bus been effected, and the OGs
opinion now seems TO be ihnt the peOpl.
have come to that stats Of rage and cxal
tnlion IN which heroic deIcnses are posi-
bic, II Is aSCGrtNined that there are pro
visions enough for certainly three months
According to the Daily NeteS, the Frcncl
Government is buying great quantities q
arms, ammunition, clothing, DC, IN Lon
don; they pay ciSh down and my prlc
required. Tue Prllssians are also buyinl
tons Of blankets, as il they expected t
spend tho winter in France. The Time
Is curious to sec whether Prussia vii
make any protest against the export q
arms, &c, from America. Five milItO
pounds Of gunpowder is the amount 9
one English order, and the market is swcp
Of every sort Of firearms. In tho mean
lime Birmingham has gone to work o
heavy orders from Russia.
