Once more the Exchange has some hopes Of peace.
The preparations for departure Of Baron Branow in
London, and Count Kisselef in Paris. had created
kind OF panic in the meneyed world. Ii generally
believed that the Car would declare aganst both
powers, as soon be informed that the combined
feet had entered the Bosphorus. The ambassadors
themselves believed it, and their preparations for de-
parture were serious though not ostentatous. But
the answer of the Car 10 quite different He
inquiries first what the two Allied Powers mesn to do,
and whether the entrance of the feet in protection of
Turkish convoy, is meant to be host to Russia
net. Ministers rather sstonisbed at this; both
France and England did net know what TO answer.
Not having declared war, they could say that they
meant 10 do anything hostile TO Russia while il would
have DESTROY ed all their influence in Turkey had theyde
cared that the entrance of the feet into the Black Sea
had no meaning at all, and was the act OF neutral
mediating power. The ambassadors were therefore
referred 10 the notes of the Powers, announcing the
fact of the entrance TO the Car Upon such slight
foundation the Exchange has built up large abrs OF
hope Prussia is said TO have made new pro-
posal for arranging the Oriental Question. which is
more satisfactory to the Car than the Vienna
note and yet SO wordsd that it may be swallowed by
the Sults1 at the recommendation of Lord Redclife
and Gen paraguay dHilliers, since it is not doubted
that the Car will not accept the last Vienna proposal
though his answer has not yet reached London in an

the Gar are not yet completed and that he requires
more tine to get ready. People acquainted with
