THE EASTERN QUESTION.
WAR ABOUT TO BEGIN.


A Geographic dispatch from Vienna announces that
sd7iees had been received there stating that Prince
CorchakoGhad sent reply to the demand made by the
Porte toevacuate the Princpates within fifteen days
The answer was to the effect that he the Russian Com
manderin-Chicf was neither authorized to commence
hosties to conclude peace nor to evacuate the prin
cpaities consequently he would do neither one nor
the other
Even yet persons are found to assert that war Will
no. necessarily begin as Gorchakofs reply perhaps
means that he must await orders from ST Petersburg
