Lonpon, Tomspay, Jam. 10, 1864 My last letter will fully have prepared you for the announcement that the com»ined fleets of Kngland and France have actually entered the Blick Sea, Taney, or at least @ portion of them, entered the Biack Sea on the 80th of December, There was s panic on the Vienna bourse when the intelligence was received, and the Paris ard London bonrses fell considerably. It {4, however, quite wonderful how the motion that war will not follow, anc that peace will be undisturbed, still prevail, The si nyle fact that tue Prince ¢e Chimay has been sent on a special mission to Louis Napoleon, by King Leopold, ef Belgium, caued the funds to rally. Report immediately saidthat he was sen! te dissuade Louis Napoleon from war. All this may be very true; but, believe me, publig opizion has been aroused, and the honor of Eogland and France have been staked, and the game is now {a the hands of tbe public opinion, and no longer in th we ef Cobden and the Pesce Society, or even of my Lerd Aberw deen England does not wish for war-—nay, seeks by every means in her power to prevent it.

But to rejurn te the parrati The cfroular of Drouyn de I’Hays, mentioned in my tant, has given uxtvereal satis‘action, It is generally re- garded asa declaration of war. Kisselef immediately demanded an audierce, which was granted, The Russian Ambassador said that {t placed him ima very awkward predicament, He hed not positive instructions to de mand his passports, ant be thought he ought no leave Paris til be beard from his goversmeat. Louis Napoleom dissuaded bim from such a step Kisseleff afterwards called on Drouym de l’Huys, who told him that no fear need be entertained of either France or England cepart- ing, unless absolutely forced to do so, from the modera- tion they had hitherto displayed. It is expected that both Kisseleff aad Branow wiil shortly demand their pacsporta, What iostractions has the Czar give to hig admirals in the Black Sea? The task of the English an@ French fleets is to prevent Ruseian men of-war from ornizing there. If the Russians come on: of their stronge hold, Sevastopol, they are to be pcli'ely ordered bask, ‘and forced back in case of non-complisnos, This looks very like war already.

It is most moderate, The Sultan has agreed to it, and sarely if the Emperor of Rustia cannot agree to it, them let his blood be upom hie own head, The Sultan ran some risk in signing it. I ‘was the signature of this mote which caused the attempt at insurrection alluded to. ‘The scoeptation of this note, or rather the immediate oom plisnce with the terms contained therein, by the Cast, would still fasure peace. The Paris Moniteur of Saturday last announces the eall- tng out of 40,000 men of the class of 1852, and the calling out of the whole reeerve, 80,000, if necessary, I am alse told that serious prepsrations are being made for sending an expeditionsry corps of 55,000 men, chiefly from the French African army, to the island of Candis, to be ready to joia ‘ho Turks if meceessry.
