The Rassian Minister i understood to have withdrawn from London, and in the meactime will await, at Darm- @ adt, further orders froma bis government, Iathe House of Lo. ds on Monday, the 6th, the Mar- quis of Clanricarce bro, kt forward his metion, “ to call $10 attention cf the house to the state of this country ‘h relation to the question of peace er war.’’ The ‘Marquis said that when he brought forward his notice of mm 10n be certainly thought ‘rom the lapguage held by $ « members of the government in that house, that the proposals made to tre Emperor of Rassis hed been vir- Gu silp if not formally rej-oted by him, and that his for. mal refusal t> accede would be reseived immediately, It Bppeare, however, that mo formal refusal hed been re 8 ived, and that the eem> @ ce of or getiations were still g ing om at Vienna. While, thor+‘ore, thore were even th® faintest probability cf these negotiations resuliiag ia peace ‘ho was unwillixg to provole discussion, and would rest con tent with asking the fore/ga seoreiary the simple yet im portant questions: Has any answer been received from the Emperor of Russia? hat is the present atate of diplomatic relations with that power? And what jastrac. tions, if amy, have been sent to the British Minister at St. Petersburg. ‘The Earl of Crargvpon replied that Lord Olsnrisar’e was so far correct in bis supposition, that # proposal from the Emperor of Rassia had been rectived at Vienna, and ‘was known there on Friday, 3d instant, stating the terms @a which he would be preptred to negotiave for psace. Ee (Lord Clarendon) had only shat afternoon, the 6th, reosived cfficial intimation of the ‘act. It was only on the 24 instant that the Conference was called together ‘and these proposals, cr rather this “counter. project "’ of the Emperor of Rassia communicated by Oount Baol, the Austrian representative, to tue representatives of France, England and Prussia, The despaten an- bouncing the fact was not yet in the hands of all the members of government, but he (Clamrisarde) @ould imform the House that the terms of the Emperor's proposal were quite uzacceptadie and not of a character ‘to permit their being rent to Constantinople, Upon that point no doubt existed for a moment in the minds of the members of the conference. In reply to Lord Clanricards’s second enquiry, Lord Clareadon replied that on Saturday evening, Oth, Baron B-unow, Russian Micister at London, calied at the French cfficeard made known that the an- swers given to the erquiries of bis government did not permit him to continue bis efficial funsiions, and ounse- quently diplomatic relations between Russia and Britata av? brokem off. In course of the week the papers oa Which Bares Brano#’s withdrawal was founded, would bs Bubmitted to the House. The Kaki OF Euueswororcn had been siways of opinion that teis question with Rassis could be solved in no way but by wer, and he heped that Ministers would not be GQ luded by any ciroamstance tuto relasiog their prepara- tions for that contingency. He considered that Britain 4s st the commencement of ome of the most formidable ‘Ware in which she bas ever engeged. He acquitted Bre country «f the goilt of that war, but he could aot Bo jUIt mininters if trey failed to prepare for a great aad arduous struggle. In (particular were they prepared to Present ® feet of tufi.ient fores in the Baltic immedi ately on the breaking up of the ice, The Manquis OF Cianvicakon agreed with Lord Ellend> to rgh i believing that the war would be a momentoas one, but he could rot quite my that ministers ‘wholly irresponsible for thus causing war, Althourh they had acted with bility, he believed taat frequently they had not said the right thing at the right tims; and, fa it was ovicont both that the discussion of the matter mast have s retrospective abaracter, and that the presest position of affaira could mot continue long, he would re ew his motion tbat day week. ant FivrwiiiaM entirely agreed that the preseat state of affairs could pot contiaue lomg. He thought it hed ai ady comtinued altogether too long. Whether the er a ty was fally aware cf the tremendous character 0 £0 con dist tm whieh It is about ve engage, he would ao atep to discuss; but he would say that there mover was o war in which the people woald more heartily support the government. Lord Beaament complained that the information gives by Lord Clarendon was meagre. He would therefore ask whetber instructions have been sent for the withdrawal of the British Ambassador from St. aetersburg, aad for stop- ping further megotiations there? - The Earl of Clarendon replied that he was serry Lord Beaumont thought his information meagre, or that he had held out hopes and expectations that fresh negotia- tions may be entered into, and that peace may be pre- served. He (Clareadon) held out mosuch hopes, He had already said that negotiations have been broughttoa close at Vienne; that Russia's new proposals being unac- ceptable could mot be transmitted to Constantinople, and so there was an end of them; and he had no reason to be- lieve that tresh negotiations on the subject would be re- pewed. Bewas unable to state why Count Orloff pro- longed his stay at Vienna, after having executed his mis sien relating to the treaties between Austrie and Rassia. With respect to the question whether the British Minister ia withdrawn from St. Petersburg, he weuld say that siace Baron Brunow’s retirement there bad not been time to do more than communicate with the French government; but to morrow (7tb) instractions would be sent by France and England to Gen. Castlebsjao and Sir George Seymour, their Ministers at St Petersburg. which will place then on exsotly the same footing as the Rursian Ministers at Paris and London bave adopted, and diplomatic inter course between the two countries and Russia will be sus- This statement by tne government created mach ex- civemenit in the House, France. DEPARTURE OF THE RUSSIAN MIN(STER—GRBAT PRE- PARATIONB FOR WAR. M, Kieselet7, Russian ambassador, left Paris on Monday evening, the 6th, for Germany.

In most departments of the military servi parations aye ordered to con- tinue night and day. Immense orders for ammunition, arms, snd accoutrements are being executed with all haste, and the assembling, organizing, and inspecting of troops goes on ceaselessly. Gon. Pellssior is selecting 20,000 picked men of the army of Africs, and 80,000 is set down as the amount of the French ccntingent. All m‘ght be ready for embarkation inone week. Candia was pro- posed ass rendezvous, but being too distant from Turkey, the island of Mitylene will probably be the ohief depot, Great activity also prevails in the naval department. At Brest four sailing ships will be ready in a short time, and two eteamers are only awaiting their engines. Levies of seamen arrive from ell paris. The ooeem squadron will soon be ready to sail, and the squadron cf reserve be in a coudition to reinforee it If necewary.

Lutest Relative to the War. The Paris Pairie confirms the statement that Omar's movement has cut off communication between the Rus sian armies, The official announcement of the Czar’s rejection of the Turkish propositions has been reooived by the French go- vermment, and # communication to that effect has been wade to the Ottoman embassy. M. Kisseleff, late Ruseian Minister at Parle, is to meet Baron Brunow, the London ex-Mipister, at Brussels. O:dera are given tothe Frensh Atlantic equadron to Proceed to Toulon, supposed to take troops on board. A Greek conspiracy had been discovered at Widden. A priest was at the head of it. Recent letters from Widdin say nothing of the illness of Omar Pacha. ‘The Russian fleet is understood to be concentrated at Kaffe, A private letter says that the return of the allied fleets was in consequence of a scarcity of provisions at Sinope—but this is doubtfal. ‘The infant Princess of Asturias, only surviving child of the Queen of Spain, is dangerously ill. Her death would at once opem the succession to the Dachess of Mont- pensier. Admiral Chads is appointed to the command of one division of the Baltic fleet, The command in chief is not yet given, but the memes of Admiral Seymour as ohie!, with Sir Charles Nepier and Lord Dundonald under him, ere mentioned. Pam, Feb. 7, 1854, All the rumors of tho ill suecese of Orlcf’s mlasion are now confirmed. It is not likely that he-will prolong his stey, but will, {t is said, leave directly for St. Peters burg Fereseeing the same rebuff at Berlin, he will re fraln from visiting thst capital. It is said that the Servian government, yielding to the suggestion of the Russian Cossulste at Be'grade, will refuse io accept the two firmans of the Saltasi, unless Russia gives ber consent.

St. Prremsnvra Jan. 29 1854, It is said that the Emperor, who is fully aware of the poxition im which be is placed, will endeavor to avoid a general con fisgration, if he can cnly preserve his henor and his righ's. The influence of Count Nesselrode is again in the as: condant. It is also said that the Czar is about to write an auto- graph letter to the Queen of Eagland, in whick he will endeavor to prove that he has mot been the aggressor.

Several of Cunard’s steamers are taken up by govern- ment to carry troops to Constantinople Six thousand men go frem England. Others will be taken up from the different stations. About ten theusand will soom be col- lected to form part of the first expedition. There is no doubts brigade of guards will form part of the expedi- tion, The 46th Regiment, that was under oriers for Aus- tralia, leaving all the old roldiera at home, whose ti would have been up in a few years, is mow to hold itself im readizess for foreign service, t-king all the best men, and leaving all young seldiers and recrwts at home, A Vienna osrrespondent telegraphs that Ocloff leaves for St. Petersburg, probably on Wednesday.

An anrwer bas just been received from the Russian Cabinet to the last proposals for peace. The Four Powers consider it entirely unsatisfactory, and not edepted for transmission to Constantinople. The abcve is authectic. Baron de Budberg, the Rassian Minister to the Court of Beritn, arrived here this evening. Count Orloff leaves for St. Potersburg probably on Wednesday. Vienna, Tuesday Evening, Fed. 7. Advices from Constantinople of the,27th ult, state that the combined feets are still at Beysos, Six ships again coavoyed » Turkish steamer, with troops, into the Black Sea. The Russian ‘leet is at Sebastopol. Brrcrapa, Feb. 1—The publication of the Tarkish firmane, fixed fer the 8d, wil! probably be reetived under reservation of rights bared on treaties. ‘The Army on the Danube. Omer Pacha bas effected a most important movement: having crossed the Danube with 60,000 mom, and divided the Russian army, the right wing of which is at Krajova, the left at Galats, and the centre at Bucharest. Omar crossed im person at Ol'enites, and ast last acoounts was only two days’ distance from Bucharest, where the Rus- tlan force is weak. The supposed object of Omar's move ment was toatteck the rear of the Russian army on its march from Krejova against Kelafat. A despateh re- esived at the Turkish embassy indicates preparations for an attach by the Tarks om Bucharest. Raselan accoums comfirm the above, by expressing ap Prehensions of am attack from the Turks, They, how. ever, declare that the bed weather, bad roads, aad isun- Gations of the rivers, render the passage of the Danube fmpessible to the Turks.

They amount, in fact, to * considerable incieaie on Prince Menchikof’s de- mards, But the propositions addrersed by Nicholas to his for- mer friends and ellies, the Euperor of Austria and the King of Prurs'a, wore soarcely less humiliating. Of them he reqaired an absolute and uvconditional armed neutral ity in the Eastern quarrel; but, as if pe foresaw ani ac knowledged that ruch « neutrality was, in fact, aco oper- ation with his cwn designs, and would probably ex- pore the German States to the hostility of the West ern Powers, he comdescended to assure these ancient snd powerful moverchies that Rassias would protect them; snd, as a recompense for his servios, Count Orloff gott ting such @ communica Love gad yar age oy Prussia felt an astonish- ment irr! hey not cisguise; and that the firet impulse of every honest man coguizant of these transact! was to set his name to « declaration that they were pereaptor‘ly rejected. It wat an attempt om the part of Rawls, not only to assert her supremacy over the whole Curistiam popu ation of tl it, and to drag the Tarkish Government as a sup- pliset to St Petersburg, but also, and at the same time, to lace the Inading Powers of Germany ia positive and avowed dependence on the policy of the Car. If sucha aobeme could have succeeded, not only would it have rendered war in the East more cortein and probabl; more protracted, but it must infallibly have e: that war to the rest of Earope ; it would instantly have Givided the German and the Western Powers into two camps, and whie they were contending for a cause not their own, Russia would have found herrelf at lil to act as abe pleased on the Danube and the Euxiee, If that was the Ruseian plan, we must be permitted to say that it was @ diabolical attempt to aggravate a handredfold the evils we already owe to har repacity and ambition, But the spare was too evident and the bait too clamsy to Geovive any one, The Czar appears to have formed an equally low estimate of the morality and the intelligence of his Gupes. Europe is not to be converted into a scene of bloodshed and havoo from one end to the other, solely to spare Nicholas of Russia the humiliation of s failare. \ Fortunately, at the time when those demands were made, the Powers to which they had directly ad. dressed were already in possession of an explicit and Torm of & Caliterate’ eapogecsent,, The’ pristipian on form of @ de engegemen on which they have ple‘ged themselves to act are = those tendered to them by Rursis, but those established by the Protocols of the 5th of December and the 18th of Janu- ary with France and England. And here we may repeat an observation which we made some weeks bat which is forcibly confirmed by the presen: state of affairs, ‘When those protocols were we wore well aware that they migbt, and probably would, fail to secure that bara between Rassias and Tarkey which was their imme- ‘te object.
