COTTON AND BREADSTUFFS STEADY, BURNING OF THE SHIP CONSTITUTION, ko, &o., &Os Hauwax, Dec, 18, 1856, ‘he reyal mail steamship Asia, Capt. Lott, from Liyer- {pool 8th instant, arrived at this port at half-past six »o'clock this morning. She sailed at § A. M. for Boston, ‘where she will be due about 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, The Asia reports, 8th December, 6:30 P, M., exchangod wignals with the steamship Pacific, bound ato Liverpool. ‘The steamship Hermann sailed from Southampton for New York on the Sth inst., with 100 passengers avd a fall cargo. * Her dates from Liverpool are to Saturday the 8th ‘Inst,—one week later than those received by the Bultic, at New York There is no feature of special importance in the week's news. In the Crimea matters were in the same position as at last accounts, and fcom Asia there is no additional in. telligence of importance. Peace rumors were quiie abundant, but beyond the -Gtroumstantial manner in which they weresrelated there was nothing to indicate that they were founded upon fact. Upon the strength of thom, however, an advance ‘in consols had taken place. A Constantinople totter of the 26th Noy. mentions that ‘three hundred sail of grain> ships were windbound in Sa- na, at the mouth of the Danube. ‘The Imperial Commercial Bank of Odessa bas suspende 1 specie paymente—the premium on silver being 12 to 16 per cent. The ship Constitution, of New York, arrived at Livor- ‘pool on the 4th, and on the following morning, while lying ft anchor in the river Mersoy, was observed to be on aro, ~ Assistarce was immediately rendered, but she burned all ay, and at night was scuttled in twenty fect ot water. Part of the contents of the lower hold, it was thought, would be saved ina damaged stato, but otherwise the skip and cargo were s total loss. The cause of the fire “was unknowns, but war swpposed to be from spontaneous ‘ombuation. The passengers and baggage wero all landed in safety. Tho weather had been quite favorable for agricultural purpores, Consols bad advanced to 903, and the bullion ia tho ‘Bank of Englana had increased to the extent of £97,000 sterling Messrs.

They quote Western ena! flour at 4us. 64, Provisions were quict, aud thero had been no changs of moment in the quotations of the previous week. ‘The weather had been favorable for agricultural pur- poses. THE WAR. ‘PEACE RUMORS—CONVENTION WITH DEN- MARK—NAPOLEON’S SCHEMES, The news by this arrival consisia mainly of poace ru- tors, but the public had ne means of estimating their truth, and they are probably of little value, Jt is @ very noticeable circumstance that the assertions -of the British press on the subject of negotiations are ‘quite at variance with those ef influential Continental and Disraeli’s organ, the London ¢ prominent in asserting that peace {s noar at bond, and that Austria is about t» address an ultimatam summoning Russia, under the threat of breaking off no- gotiations with her, to accept those conditions of peace which the Western Powers can admit at present, but which they will net assent to after another successful campaign. The Berlin correspondence of the London Morning Chromide, under date of the 4th inst., says:— It is imporsible to separate what is true from what Is ‘folee in the pence rumors. It ix no doubt true trat all the Cabinets are anxious for peace, but it is equally trae wart-anat the stnost, preparstory stops only Se Gets wi utmost, prepara' only are made. Austria maintains the validity of the treaty of ber 2, anc hence all attempts of other German Btates to exercise a pressure on the Western fo vers, with a view of pacification, have been completely para- lyzed. Austria, moreover, is now ready to acest the interpretation given to the third of the four Vienna Conference . Prussia has m1 ‘ly demanded at St. Petersburg that Russia should name the condi ticns to which she is ready to submit. Russia's ro- to this demand of Prossia is affirmed tof bo con- , but vague. The Cabinet of St. Petorsburg shrinks from the diffleulty of making proposals that dt may have the m tion to see rejected. The Cobinets of Munich and Dy ey infuentiat th os Nn a bighly approved of at Vacis, ond were cy at Paris, ‘Dut it remains to bo soon whether they will be sucessn- ful. Our best politicians are evenly divided. think Bear, ar others distent. ote te that the state ere Las been no commanicstion whatever from Russia. Acommunication hax been inade by the Aastrian govern ment, through the French Minister at Vieona, to the French government, embodying the terms which Austria is prepared to to Roesa as an ultimatum, This communication was submitted by France to Eoglind, and de now under consideration by the two governments, ‘The torms are a great advance upon any yet offered, and might be accepted oll around, but they are the terms of Austria, not of Russia. Austria does’ not gasrantes to in the Allies if tho ultimatas be rejected, but ouly to k off relations with Russia. At this point the mat ter reste. Private letters from &t. Petersburg indicate no pros gure for peace. The profits of the overland trade keep business generally up to a more favorable point than anticipated. Govermment paper has not much deterio- rated, and money fs abundant at Moseow at7 per cent. The St. Petersburg Northern Ber bas an editorial berded “ The War is only Beginning," and declares that Roasia bas ample resources to continue the war tor yoars. ‘The London Timer haw w reply to the Her, asserting that Shin boasting merely betrays weakness, With respect (o Canrobert’s mission, the London Tims’ Paris correspondent under date 4th tnst., asya:— Canrobert has returned—he left Stockholm on the 19th ult, ond the day after his ae an act of the con- venti-n oF was signed dy the Swedieh Wuister For aud thé Eoglishand French Ministers 1, ol the articles of the comvention are post to the Allies and advantageous to Sweden, The "Monitewr will say something of it ina fow days.

GENPRAL CANROBERT’S FUTURE OPERATIONS—RUS SIAN COUNCIL OF WAR. A telegraphic despatch of the 6th inst., from Nyborg (Viborg?) states that the united squadrons, under Admi- ral Dundas, were then passing the Belt, homewards, The British Admiralty publish Lieutenan: Geueste’s fecount of the lave Havgo affair, but it contaias nothiug new. * General Canrobert {4 said to have hinted that he will have the command-in-chief of the next Baltic campslgn, when two allied armies will be landed—one in Finland and the other in Courland, At {Kiel he had a long in- terview with admirals Dundas and Penaud, and some attribute the Russian conncil of war to the intimation of there facts having reached St. Petersburg. The coun- cil referred to will comprise all the Russian generals ani admirals—Genorals Rugiger, Beberg, Sievres, Pamutin, and others—the object being to settle upon the best measures for the defence of the goast from the Guif of Rotbnia to the southern extremity of Valhynin, 280,000 men being available forgthts ‘purpose, exclusive of inte- Hor garrisons, ‘The mission of Admiral Glasenappa to Stockholm, which was supposed to be with the view of counterdet- ing the mission of Canrobert, is stated to have reference only to unimportant matters of fluance and the trade of Swedish ships to ports of Finland. THE PRINCIPALITIES, ‘The intrigue continues respecting the choice of a Hos- podar, England supports Jolan Ghika as the most #uita- ble candidate; France and Turkey favor M. Callimachi; while Austria sides with Prince Stirbey. Austria is sald to desire that in future the Hospodars shall be named for life by the Porte, subject to the veto of the great Powers. ASIA. There is a rumor, on the authority of a corresponient of the Loncon Daily News, that the Russiaes have taken Kars; but the report may have arisen from « similar rumor of the capture of Kertech, Tho report says that the Russians made an unsuccessful assault on the 6th of November, but afterwards took the place. It needs con- firmation. A correspondeat of Nov. 12 mentions that Omer Pasha bad divided his force into three corps, he himself with the main body occupying Suchum Kale, while twelve of tbe detached battalions of infantry, and two regiments of cavalry, under Feshad and Osman Pacha, had gone to Redout Kale, and the corps of Mustapha Vacha, witu the Tunisian contingent, was at Batoum, Up to the 12th of November, Omer had aot moved from this basis of cperations, General Mouravielf had established a winter camp be- fore Kara, and sent off the Goorgian militia to the army of the Vince Beoutoff.

T perecive that contragictory rumors continue to be current with regard to the present state of negotiations between the United States and Great Britain on the #ub- Ject of the levy of troops by the latter in this oountay, tt {a perfectly clear that these rumors mre, in truth, no thing but new versions floating about if conversation, of what had previously occurred, and, in fact, become known to the public with reasonable preciol n, by atate- wents made at the time with more or les authenticity ‘The impatience of the public mind keeps reearcing to the sulject, and works over the old fic% into new shapes, and then propagates them aa if they were new facts, Your readers may rely upon it, that the following {+ the true state of the case :~ It is perfeotly weil known by the lettors of Attorney General Cushing to District Attorney Van Dyke, which are dated September 12th and 17th, that some time prior to those dates, our government had made reprovemtation. British government, complaining of the recruit- ments in this country, for the military service of Great Britain, that Lord Clarendon repiled that what had been done by the British goats had baea done by them under stringent instructions not to vivlate the municipal law of the United States, thay in effect a1 mitting that the British government had given instruc tions and employed agents to draw troops in some way from the United States. It is also clearly to be inferred from the same letters that our government was not eatisfied with this explanation, and took the ground that Creat Britain could not righ*fully raixe troops here at all without the previous permission of the United States ; that to sssume to do #0 without our consent was an invasion of our rights of territorial severeiguty, and that to undertake to do it by evasion of the munictpal law was worse than to do It by infraction of the law; and that, at any rate, whether by infraction or evasion of the law, the sct itself being contrary t» the known policy of this government, avd ita determination to be strictly, and with impartial good faith, ueutrel between all the belligerents, was, therwfore, an act of public wrong towards the United States. What farther occurred is not known by means of any oficial publfeation, bus there ix no doubt that Mr. Marcy made demands of specific «atlsfaction with respest to the Imputed conduet of the Brittah Minister and severat of the British Consuls in the United Sates, and the na- tare of thir demand was such ax to requt-e, among other things, the recall of the British Minister. or sume other pub- Uc act of equally signal vatisfaction to te United State. If our government hed pot taken this position in regard to Great Britain, it would have been morally necessary to permit Rus+ia to equip privateers in our porte. the im mediate evomsequence of which would hare been inevita- bly to involve as with Great Britale, who would have been compelled to employ @ squadron of menof-war to cruise off the port of New York, and stop and search vesvela, or to adopt some other measure of belligeren pretension, constituting a #tate of things tafinitely mote pre,adieial to the public peace and to the friendly relat tions of the two goveraments than anything which coald crow ont of the prevent question, made upon « point in which, a8 everybody concedes on both sides of the water, our government i# in the right and Pingland in the wrong—the English government Iteelf having fully ad- mitted the fact in the explanations which Lord Paimer- ston made in Perliament, ‘The America, which arrived « fortnight ago, brought deepatebes from Lord Clarendon, half apologetic ant half Jus\hestory, which have to be acawered by Mr. Marcy Cfeourse no new ground can have been taken by the British government at «uch « vtage of the discussion. It is pot true that Spain bas not in any case afforded any redress but promises. The money in the Rick ‘Warrlor case was actually paid over some time ago. In rome other matters pending between the two govern ments, the tone of the United State has been urgent, while Spain mas {fests a conciliatory disposition in all o ms bas been great exoggeration ia the pabliched rumors with regard to our relations with Spain. One of the fret points to be determined in regard to Walker's government is, whether it is evew « eovernmen de facto, In most of the Spanish Aweriean repablles govern ments have commenced with mere military atu pation a» happened in Nicaragua; but in all such casey the euc comful genoral in se:ting up a new President, either la his own person or in that of somebody ele, has not pre- tented to go on without some form of political or popalar recognition in the eountiy itself, no as vo give him the temblance, at least, of an elected Provident Thus, when Alvares lately overturned the guvernment of Sante Arne, he did not undertake to assure the go vero went by mere military foreo, Vat an cloctoral © singe war convened, which, by a majority of votes, male At- vores Provident. Bot it dors not appear that any Con greet or any other politieal body has given sanction to thority of Mvav; but it would seem that he is the mere appeln'ee of Walker, I do not imagine that there le the slightest probability of the recognition of Walker's government by our own, ot present; and I do not attempt ie any of theer matters to {tege which way the wind biows, without Soowing provty well the vacos whish Indicate ite direc ton the mt Cor | seilers, arproving of the foreign feature w canta: rectly, si and declartug bisteoll-e ecient a nen Mr, Ginw) In addition to the pubile grounds for the re'eotiou “| fern of the chee of hio (placing himself ( ier’ desk}, declaimed soirtterily fp favor ber beer Dac mee in my deapateh of this da “, freaden poh ie boliding 4 ne repubulcan eharel on oat a'ker’s t, ‘here ts 7 100" sth ros of nifght not prevail against jeeohye eaters ty!
