There is nothing new of an official character with re- spect to the peace negotiations, but there is evidently, in quarters usually well informed, a growing impres- sion that negotiations will not terminate in a satisfacte- ry manner. Count Nesselrode has addressed a cfroular note to the representatives of Russia, at the chief foreign courte, cated St. Petersburg, December 22. In this note it 1s stated that Russia accepts the third point relative to the neutralization of the Black Sea, in the following senso — “That Turkey’s right to close the Straits be maintained; that no ships-of-war be admitted in the Black Sea, ex- cepting those of Russla and Turkey; that the number of ships tobe so maintained be mutually arranged by Russia and Turkey; and that it be ratified by direct special treaty between these two Powers, without tho inter- ference of other nations.”’ This interpretation the allies consider to be inadmissible, Le Nord publishes an analynis of thia circular. Tlie circular owns that the desire expressed by the Emperor of the French, at a public solemnity, in favor of a prompt end durable peace, was at tho same time, and still is, the dearest wish of the Emperor Alexander, Referring to the Vienne Conferences, the cireular casts upon the allies the blame of having them rendered abortive. So long aa hia enemies resolved to eubstitute force for the spirit of Jastice and concitiation, the Czar was obliged to remain silent; but as soon as he heard that hia enemies wore disposed to take up again the negotin- tions of peace on the basis of the four points, he did not hesitate to come forward frankly to mcot those pacific disporitions, and to seek frankly « possible solution for tho third point. The Russian propositions are already mown, The cireular comeludes by saying that Russia calmly and confidently awatts the deciiton of her eue- emies. When Austria and the Western Powers agreed on the conditions to be sent, they were to communicste to the other Powers what those torms were. Until these terms should have reached their destination, secresy was to be kept. From the Journal des Debais:-~ It in expected that the roply of Count Nesselrode will be in conformity with the declarations contained in hia cizcular of December 22. Our correspondents at Berlin do not expect that Count Faterhazy’s mission will have & 6u inene. likely, however, that the Ambassa- They think it ver dor may defer to government aud demand new in- structions before taking decisive and irrevocable «| Nothing gives reason to believe that Ruseia abandons grounds upon which she has hitherto persisted in taking her stand. We are assured that she would rather incur the risks of « third cazgpaign than do so. Count Fsterhazy reached St. Petersburg on the 26th, and the next day laid the propositions before the Rusrian cabinet, On the 28h Count Buol communicated to Prince Gortechakoff, at Vienna, the terms on whish the Western Powers would assent to pease, and stated that those terms were approved by Austria, The terms are those ulready published. Rursig haa made known, in Nosselrode’s circular, her willingness to treat for the neutralization of the Black Sea, but it is expected that she will absolutely refuse to asaent to the requlrement of “eaesion of territory” to keep open tho Danube. By the phrase—“ccesion cf so much torritory asis necessary to wecure to all nations the free navigation of the Danube,” is meant the corston of that partot Bessarabia which Lies between the fortress of Chetqn on the north, Satt Lake Saayk on the south, and the river Pruth on the weet. Three weeks from the day of delivery is the time allowed for consideration. Notwithstanding «li appearances, it is strongly sus- peoted that Austria will not take the field against Russia in the spring unlesa previously aszured of the active support of the Germanic Bund. The Weer Gucette states thet an additional article tovehing the third point has been added to the treaty of Becomber 2, between Austria, France and England. It docs not, however, impose on Austria the obligation of taking part in the war upon the eventual refusal of Itus- sia to accept the third point aa interpreted by Austria and the Allies, In Prussia the court is not pleased with Baron See. bach’s mission ta St. Petersburg, and Col Manteuffel is sont to Dresdea to demand positively to what extent Bs- varia and Saxony have engaged themseives with the Weatern allies, Ho would leave Berlin December 20, pro- ceeding also to Vienna to deliver a reply to the lotter in which Austria notified Prussia of the new me urs taken at St. Petersburg. The Germen Frankfort Journal lexrns that Baron Seebach’s mission to St. Petersburg ia the result of an orrangemont between the eourts of Mnnich and Saxony; From Sweden the socounts are very warlike, Com- manders have received instructions, marked “ private,’ to refase leave of absence, and to have regiments in the highest state of efficiency ere spring. Military and naval manufactories work incosantly, and the indications aro that, in socordance with the scoret article of the treaty, Sweden will openly take the fleld with the adlice in spring. Sweden has on hand some of thalers surplus revenue, which is to be devoted to equip the army and navy.

The New York Packet Ship St. Denis Foun- dered at Sca—The Captain, a Fortion of the Orew and Thirteen Passengers wrowned— Arrtval of the Sarvivors at this Port—Thotr Adventures at Sea in an Open Soat for Thi ty Hours. Tt seems aa though we are never to etop recording the fearfuloffects of the storm of the Gth and 6th of January. Our columns are filled day afcer day with accounts of the isasters effected by i}, and to-day it becomes our painful duty to record the loss of the fine packet ship St. Denis bound to Havre from New York, which foundered at sa in lat. 38 lon. 72, at 12 M.on the Gth inst. All the passengers, of whom there wore thirteen on board, were drowned, and out of a crew of twenty-seven persons culy vleven were paved. It appears the St. Denis cleared from this port ou the Ist inst., but did not sail from the lower bay until the 4th. The following day (Saturday) the galo from the northeast caught her, and as she was heavily laden with cotton, flour and’ grain, she soon became disabled, notwithstanding the strenuous exertions of the captain and crow to save her. The gale inereased in violence as the night progressed, and to- wards midnight it was discovered that the vessel had sprung aleak in the cabin, and the water was rapiily filling up between decks. All hands were immediately set to work at the pumps, but the handles in several of them broke ana they became ‘useless, Every exertion was made by the crew, but still the water gained upon thom, and the effort was at length given up in despair. Still the gale Increasod in violence, and every. sail had to be taken in. To ease the vessel Captain Follanabee gave orders to cat down the masts. The mizon mast first went by the board, and in its fal) it carried away the stern boat. The main mast was next cut down, but it weemed as though an evil genfus hung over the vessel, for in its fall it carriod away the life boat, the jolly boat and the foresaii yard, and stove in the long boat, the only one remaicing on board. Kverything appeared to conspire against the unfortunate passengera and crow. As the storm inereased, the vea- sel became more unmanageable. The surviving seamen state that they never saw #o violent a storm: on this coast before, By seven on the morning of the 7th it became evident to tho seamen that the vessel would founder, and prepa- rations were made for launching the long boat, which they did, after mending it as best they could. It imme. dtately swamped, and it was with great difficulty the water was bailed out. The seamen feared to enter it, a9 certain death seemed the inevitable fate of those who ventured in 40 fraila bark on so wild a sea. At length the first and third mates, and nine #eamon, jumped in, but mo persuasion couki induce Captain Follansbce to leave his post, When the boat first swamped, he ex- claimed, “Well, boys, our time ia but alert now,” and before the boat left the vowel, ho was heard to utter, “My poor wife and ehildren|”’ ‘The passengers, of whom thore wore thirteon on board, ‘were not aware ot the dreadful fate that awaited them Until a few moments before the veesel gunk. They sup- posed aM was right, nor did the captain break the unwel- come intelligence to them until !t became absolutely ne centary 60 todo. Among thovs on boord was a young couple that were married immediately before tie vessel sailed, and wore bound to Havre, where the husband was to officiate aa agent for the Frio Railroad Company. At 12M, the long boat shoved off, and son after the St. Ue. nis went down, and a few spars and loose timbers were all that remained of what was once a gallant ship, The boat waa im ® most forlorn situation af- ter the ship foundered, as the sea was very rough ; and, to add to their difficulties, the crew labored under, there were only three oars on board, aa two had been lost when the boat swamped. Their place ‘war inadequately suppliod by hickory brooms, that was fortunately thrown into the boat; and while some of the crew were paddling with these, three othora were inces- rantly at work bailing out water that was washod over ond into the boat, which also leaked. Towards night the Hoe calmed somewhat, and the boat was drifted about, they knew not whither, a neither chart nor compass was on board. A barrel of bread comprised all the food they were supplied with. The night was bit- terly cold, and the men suffered sevevely. On Monday morning a brigantine war discovered, hearing the Portu- Rueee colors, but the boat was not heeded. In the aftor- noon @ ship hove in sight, which proved to be tho Naples, Captain Lovell, from Leghorn, bound for New York, By this ship the cloven survivors were picked up, Aftor having beon thirty hoars in an open boat on che soa. ‘The Naples arrived yesterday. The following statoment by one of the seamen will be found interesting :— STATEMENT OF JOHN CONLON.

On Saturday the wind began to blow from the northeast and the aca be- come very rough, ond in tho evening we wore compelled to shorten sail, We took in close-reefed topssils end furled the mizen topenils, ond kept her head clove to the wind, During the night the gale in- eresved, and the fore topsails and forcsail gave way. Before midvight the ehip sprung alesk, and the water gained rapidly im the hold. It waa first discovered inthe cabin. All hands were called to the pomps, but some of the hand es get broke, and there wore none to replace them, The storm at this time was indeed fearful. None of vs had ever seen the waves Gseh 20 high before. About three o’clock on Sunday morning the captain gave orders to cut the manta away to case the vessel, The mizenmast was first out way, and in falling it took tue stern boat with it. The mata- mast was next cut down, when the lifeboat and jolly doat were lost, amd tho long boat stove in. The fore topsail yard also was carried away by the full of the mainmast. At this time everything seemed to fore- ekadow death to all on board, as the water was gaining betwaen decks and the ship was utterly anmenageadle, ‘The passengers were not notified of the danger, avd they were not aware of the doom that awaited them dot few minutes before the ship sank. Seeing no probability of saving the vessel, we launched the long boat, when a sea swamped her, and it was with the utmost difficulty we at length bailed her out, It was the only boat we bad left. A barrel of bread was put aboard, aud that was all—we bad no water or spirits, Nine of the seamen jumped in the bont, as did also the firet mate, Mr. Tufts, and the third mate, Mr. Gardimer. The captain would not go into the boat, though strongly urged to do #o by the first mate. Whon the boat was swemped he rubbed his hands, and said cheerfully, ‘Well, toys, our time is but short now,” ard then edded sorrowfully, “0, my poor wife and children!” and walked the deck of the vessel basti- ly, The last we saw of bim, he was winding up his watch. It was impossible to construct a raft that would Live in that dreadful sea, and no attempt was made to do so. We waited until the last moment, and then shoved of, and were perhaps 600 feet trom the vessel when it sank, Our situation was very dangerous. We lost two oars, and a leak in the boat, together with the waves that constantly kept dashing over us, kept three of the men bailing out all the time. ‘To supply the place of oars we made use of some hickory brooms, that were fortunately thrown in tne boat before leaving the vessel, and with these we paddled as best we could. We bad no compass or chart, and very little pro- vinton, aad the prospect before us was anything but cheering. A‘ter the ship sank, a large dredge was found in the water, and to this wo tied a ‘‘ painter,” w the effect of keeping the head of the long boat in direction as the waves, and to this contrivanc our lives, as the boat would not have a 4 side sea. As near as we could judge, it was about eleven o'clook when the ship went down, and we drifted about all day without knowing in what direction we were going. Towards evening the sea calmed, but it was Intonsely cold, and we suffered severely. We occa- sionally washed our mouths with salt water to quench thirst, and ate sparingly of the bread, for it was impossi- ble to tell how long we might need it. The night w@ cloudy; there were no stars and no guide as to the direc- © mwe were taking. We had regular watches, and re- Leved each other during the night. When morning broke the horizon was eagerly scanned for a sail, but no thing was seen; yet we were confident that vessels were in the neighborhood, as we were in the route of all the travel between New York and Furope. At length, about ton o'clock, we saw a brigantine or hermaphrodite brig in the distance, and made towards her; and although we have since learned they saw ws, the brig bore away, n @ heeded our signals. It was a Portuguese vessel. In the afterncon a ship hove in sight to the windward, and we stood across her bows. I took off my shirt, and tied it on the end of an oar, and kept waving it until wo were seen, when the chip bore down to us, and wo wore all taken on board, exhausted, but in tolerable condition, after being nearly forty hours in the boat. The ship proved to be the Naples, from Leghorn, bound for New York. We arrived in port after nive day’s voyage. STATEMENT OF WM. J. TUFTS, FIBST MATE. ‘The St. Denis sailed from this port on the Ist inst. for Havre, and on the 6th took a gale from southeast, which hauled tonorthwost, and blew a perfect hurricane, during which the ship sprung aleak, and the decks wore full of water. Could not get to the pumps to work them. C€ away the main and mizen masts to ease the vensel; disc & vered her fast settling forward, and at 12 M. 6th inst., left the chip, when sho immodiately foundored. The captain, second mate, three cabin passengers, and the remainder of the crew, remained on board—im ell, about thirty fouls, Mr. Tufts also reports that he was 29 hours in the boat, which had the starboard side stevo in, and it kept five of them continually bailing to keep her free, They had one barrel of bread (and no water) to subsist on during that timo. On the 7th inst. was picked up by the ship Neples, Capt. Lovell, from Naples for New York, who kindly received us on board. STATEMENT OF HENRY GARDINER, THIRD MATE. At6P. M. of Friday the 4th, wind blowing fvesh from southeast, commenced shortoning nail, and at 10P. M. the vessel was under close-reefed fore and main topsails, At about 11 P. M. main topsail sheet was carried away, when the sail was taken in and furled; aleo hauled down maintopmast studdingsall and set main spencer. At 12 P.M. weather clear; but wind blowing fresh and con- stantly increasing, took in snd seat down all studding- sails. Saturday, Sth, 1 A.M, wind chopped round to northweat and blew @ perfect hurricane, at which time the veesel began to Jeak very fast, and the puraps would not work. At 4 A.M. the captain told the mate that the cabin was filling with water, and he would like to wear ship. Tried it, but could not. Out away main and mizen masts, and then wore around on the starboard tack. Sho then, at about 5 A. M., began to settle for- ward, which sho continued to do ell day till 11 A. M., the wind blowing furiously, and the sea running wild end high, Resort waa then had to the boats, when all except the Song boat were found to be 40 badly stove a3 to be unfit for use. The long boat was also ‘badly damaged, from having a portion of her side stoye in, but she was launched, and four men rent into her, to bale her and keep her alive. At this time the topgallant forecastle was under water. The mate then asked tho captain if he would not get into the boat, and he shook hie bead in dissent, telling him, at the same time, {t was no use. The mato replied ‘that it was the last shift for such as might confide in it, and accordingly entered it, in company with the third mate anf nine men. After this, and before letting go, the mate again asked the captain if he weuld not come with them, saying that he loft tho ahip for the sake of his wife in New York. The captain answered that he had a wife and seven children in Brooklyn, but ho thought thoy would mot see him any sooner by his taking to that boat. They laid by about ten minutes trying to get more, but none would come in. Im about fifteen minutes afterwards they saw the ship go down. This was at half past 12 P. M. of Sunday, the 6th; after which time, til about P.M. of Mon- day, the 7th, the wind continued to blow without abate mont. Jn the hurry and oxcitement of the occasion, the ‘boat had beon provided with but one barrel of bread, and no water, whieh was all they had to subsist on. She had also but three oars, which were lying in her at the time, together with some halfdoren brooms. Two of the oars wore soon afterwards lost, and the brooms wore usod na podiles, At 3 P. M. om Monday saw a schooner to leeward, but she was too far off to fiscover them. At 4 fori, with, the hops of obtain. something’ tris, for it, wi pe of ol 3 a but wore bef pop They then doseried the youl, +wo and a halt miles to leeward, which mubsequently took them on board and brought thom into pert. A signal was made to her with » red abirt on an onr. After board- ing her, they deomed the bot worthless, und let her g9. It should be remarked that on the morning of Suaday, the Oth, the fore topeafl was biwa from bolt ropes, and the fore topegil broken in three places, It was the opinion fol Mr. Tuite, the chief mate, whem entering the boat, Yoat she ‘would not lve three minuter.

On the next day after the St. Denis aailed from New York untired a heavy gale. The chip mateoe great dell of water. The crew were unable to work at the pumps in consequence of the heavy sea which dreve them from their post. On Sunday morning, the 13th, the crew got out the long boat, (the stern and two boats baving been stove) and with a part of » barrel of bread oly for their sustenance, nine men, with the chief aad second wate, left the ship. The captain would reamuim om board in spite of the strocgest persuasions of the crow. The captain, in the opinien of tne crew, seomed Se te ship as safe as the boat in her damaged condition. "After the crow left the ship, the ship went down ia about fifteen minutes. During Sunday the wind blew @ ale, and between 7 and & at it ® sail was secon aad fated, without answer, The boat lay to until poy when nothing was te be seen. About 11 A.
