The Zme corres pondent at Bucharest telegraphs as fol lows : "The Roumanians are becom ing very uneasy about the rumored in tention of Russia to demand the retro- section of the small slip of Besaaxubia, ceded to Rou mania after the Crimean war. This would leave Roumania not only without compensation far the sacrifices of war, beyond the acknowl edgement of her independence, but in fact poorer in territory, since Austria is thought likely to object to an exten sion of the Roumanian territory south of the Danube." The Ernes' Vienna dispatch says it is announced from Constantinople that the peace party are making strenuous efforts. It is reported that they have been joined by MahmadDamad Pasha, who has hitherto been the main stay of the war party The peace party have gained ground considerably, both in the Palace and the Senate. It seems prbbable that Turkey will consent to make direct overtures to Kussia. A telegram received in Paris says tbePprte h&s decided to accept an armistice. The Porte, however, has hardly had time to come to such a de- cuion. A telegram to the Times from St Petersburg reports : "It is said here that direct negotiations between the Porte and Kussian headquarters would not exclude the most interested neu tral powers, as Ruegia would propose no conditions which had not received at least the tacit consent of Austria and Germany, antl the Porte would accept nothing without" consulting England. Persons connected with the ministry of foreign affairs assert that Russia will be found much more moderate than is commonly expected, in regard to peace conditions generally, and the Question ot the straits particularly A Bucnare8t correspondent oi tne Times reports that fofia is virtually isolated-from connection with Adrian -ople and Nisch, although apparently not vet completely invested.

Suleiman Pasha seems to have feared this, when he took up his headquarters at.

The only question, therefore, is whether the Turks are shrewd enough to bar the descent from Shinka Pass. and hojd Icfctmian with tbe defiles of Topolcan apd the Giupso at the same time 1 if not, they must retreat still urther to tbe east.

Washington, Jan 2,-rThe Treasury disbursements for the month were 14 J millions. Alluding to tbe sub-committee of the Ways and Means committee, to which the revenue bill was referred, the Star says that Messrs Burcbard and Tucker have agreed upon the main features ef tbe bill. They recommend the reduc tion of the whiskey tax from 90 to 60, and tobacco from 24 to 16 cents. Senator Patterson passed a very rest ess night, and slept about an hour. He had a sharp attack of pain while sitting up last evening about 5 o'clock, and his physicians, Stanton and Bax ter, were sent for, and remained with hiniTiearly all night. He has been sinking slowly since morning, and is now mavery critical condition. Mrs Patterson is better and was up a little yesterday.

The matter of the alleged yiolation of the postal law by the Cincinnati Gazette company, which has been a subject of investigation and controver sy for several months, was to-day de cided by Postmaster-General- Key against the company. Tbe decision is based upon an opinion submitted to day by, A H Bissell, acting law officer of tbe rostomce. Department, ine Postmaster-General, in approving the opinion, says, howeyef, that in view of the publicity given to the case, the de partment does not deem it advisable to prosecute the company further, except in the event of a further violation of the law.

Tbe following are a few extracts from the message of Gov.Robinson, of New York : ' There can be but one permantnt and effect ual remedy, aod that is, to return as speedily as possible to the condition of things that existed before the road to ruin was entered upon, by means of a return to .ppec:e payments, a sound and stable currency, and the reduction of the turiff to a strictly revenue stand ard. In view of the discussions going on in the United SUtes Congress, it seem 3 proper for me to remind you and our peopie that, whatever may happen elsewhere, specie payments are, under existing laws, to be resum ed in this State from and after the 1st of January next. AH of our taxes, general and local, including the canal tax, will, nest year, have to be paid in gold, or its equivalent, and the courts will be obliged to enforce private con tracts in ooin. I trust that there will be wisdom enough at Washington to avoid hinden-g our present hopeful progress toward specie payments, and that the laws of tbe general government and those of our own State, on this subject, will continue to be, as they now aie, in harmony." Lambert, the Perjurer, Sentenced to Five Years in the Penitentiary. New York, Jan 2. T Q Lambert, ex-president of the American Popular Life Insurance Company, convicted of swearing to a false annual report, on being arraigned for sentence, spoke two hnurs, claiming that he was hound ed down by the press, aod that the witnesses against him were instructed.
