THE EASTERN QUESTION.
The Paris paper, Univers, speaks of a note drawn up
from the explanation given by the Emperor of Russia of
his intention on the Eastern Question. According to the
rumours, this note has been submitted to the Porte, and
there was a probability of its being accepted. It is on this
note that is supposed to have been based the application
to the Porte to delay the commencement of hostilities. It
is stated that the secretaries and attaches who accompany
General Paraguay De Hilliers to Constantinople are mili-
tary men.
