A CONFERENCE AGREED TO.
VERSAILLES, November 27, 9.30 p.m.
A. settlement may be hoped for soon on the bases
of a Conference to be held at London, and the with-
drawal of,the Russian Note.
Constantinople and St. Petersburg were proposed ;
London finally, and was readily accepted by Count
Bismarck.
It is understood that Russia will yield willingly to
friendly representation and a Conference, as pro-
posed by Prussia.

VERSAILLES, November 27.

Mr. Odo Russell dined last night with his Majesty,
and was graciously received. He had an interview
with Count Bismarck in the afternoon.

Prussia adheres to a Conference, but had no con-
cert with Russia, and was surprised by Prince
Gor tschakoff's Circular at this juncture.
She cannot interfere at present.

Sr. PETERSBURG, November 27 (1.33 p.m.).
Among the merchants and business men confidence
is returning, and stocks have risen i❑ price. Among
the diplomatists some anxiety is felt as to the effect
in England of the Russian answer.
The St Petersburg Gazette expresses deep regret
at the tone of the Austrian answer. It says that
for a long time Austria has not dared to speak to
other Powers in such terms. The Gazette regards

the Austrian answer as a bad sign, and says it
awaken in Russia no other feeling than that of in-
sulted honour and indignation. It will not hur
Austria to know this. _ .

A decree has been published in the Official
Journal giving unlimited furlough to soldiers
enlisted for ten years, who have served their time,
and temporary leave to thirteen years' soldiers who
have served eleven or twelve years.
ST. PETERSBURG, November 27 (3 p.m.)

It is stated on good authority that a Conference of
the Powers has been agreed to, and that it will be
held in London. Here it is confidently expected
that the Conference will ratify the course which has
been adopted by Russia.
CONSTANTINOPLE, November 26.

Yesterday afternoon General Ignatieff had an
audience of the Sultan on the subject of the revision
of the Treaty of 1856. There is considerable move-
ment in the diplomatic world here. The panic has
somewhat subsided, but there is still a feeling of
doubt and uneasiness. Military and naval prepara-
tions continue. An American officer has been ap-
pointed superintendent of the factory for the con-
struction of torpedoes.
The conviction is that all depends on the firm.
ness of the Government and the attitude o
England.

VIENNA, November 25,

Prince Gortschakoff's answer to Count Beust has
not arrived in Pesth. Count Beust in to-day's sitting
of the Delegations said nothing had been omitted to
preserve the dignity of the Empire, and to secure a
peaceful solution of the question.
The Vienna diplomatists confider the situation
extremely serious, and declare that a secret under-
standing positively exists between Prussia and
Russia.

PESTH, November 26.

The Emperor received the Delegations separately
to-day. He said briefly to the Hungarian, after
regretting the delay in its convocation, that the
importance of the circumstances which had made
him wish to obtain the advice and patriotic support
of the Delegations had been increased instead of
diminished by more recent serious events.

The Italian Note, dated the 24th inst., has been
despatched to St. Petersburg. It is said to remon-
strate in courteous terms against the oae-sided
denunciation of the Treaty of 1856.
