The War.
The Eastern question has assumed an entirel,
new and most important aspect. The Gear ha
accepted not only the four points of guaranty, bu
also the Interpretation thereof as explained b.
England, France and Austria. But no armistic,
is granted, and, consequently, hostities continn'
undated. II is yet doubtful whether the Gar
acceptance is unconditional, or with important ex
plantations. The immediate effect of this new

continue during the progress of the negotiations.
The conduct of Prussia and the German States
still continues equvocal, and the sincerity of the
Russian Cars acceptance is much doubted. The
Allies, it is said, will insist upon the naval force
of Russia in the Black Sea being placed on Level
with that of the other Powers and it is suspected
split will occur in the negotiations, Jas is not
supposed Russia will assent to it.

taken in negotiating the reciprocity treaty. Lord
Egin made a speech on the occasion.
The proposed mediation of the United States in
the present difficulties, excited much less attention
than might have been expected. The London
Times treated the question with great candor and
fairness, and submits that the United States must
