The HERALD correspondent in St. Peters
burg telegraphs as follows:-'I have re-
ceived from the best authority an item Of
news which will throw some light on the
present situation and explain many things
in the recent negotiations which are not
now understood.
COUNT scHoUvALoFF's MISSION.
''The following is, according to my in
formant, the true version of the mission Of
Count Schouvaloff to st. Petersburg:- The
Emperor alone holds out for war, and it
was with the idea of bringing fresh infu-
ence to bear on him that pretext was de-
vised to bring back Count Schouvalof, who

URGING PEACE ON THE GEAR.
several interviews with the Gear. urging his
views with great force and pointing out the
advantages Of an amicable settlement that
would enable Russia to consolidate her con-
quests and prepare for future emergencies.
He said all that could be said on the side Of
peace, without losing sight of the fact that
war with England would still be one of the
possibilities of the near future.
NO IMPRESSION MADE.
''He has not as yet succeeded in making
any impression on the Emperors mind,
although aided by the fact that the Empress
and her encourage are in favor of peace. He
does not give up all hope, however, and will
continue his efforts for some time longer.
WILL YIELD NOTHING TO ENGLAND.
ssThe Emperor thinks that the influence
and dignity Of Russia would suffer if she
conceded what England demands, and that
England would gain correspondingly. He
is, therefore, willing to take the chances Of
protracted war, SO that if England expects
to gain her point it must be at enormous
sacrifices Of blood and treasure, which will
make the gain as dear as possible.
THE GEAR DETERMINED.
