POPULAR FEELING IN RUSSIA.


PARIS, Thursday, Jan. "a, 1886.
letter from st. Petersburg, dated the l7th inst,
states as follows:
al now add some further details 10 my letter OF
Yesterday which written in great haste and under
The first impression Of the important news which has
astonsbed this city. TIE Moderate party says nothing
about it, and its leaders maintain great reserve. The
War party il very violent aud openly accuses Prince
Gorchako Of treason and speaks OF Austria with the
utmost berness-Of Austria saved by Russia in ls49.
According TO these men, Russia cannot accept peace
which will cost her part Of her territory, and impose
her the most Illuminating OF all conditions, that OF
raising her ortresses along the coast of which
Russian lake, and this before they avenged the honor
Oft cir aims by exploit different from that OF Kars
teace In fine which " II finish for all, with the
influence which they have exercised IN Germany for
more thsn quarter Of a century. The Old Russians
pre- it coLyuiOni the Emper0rs gns, without being
eoasa ed by force of the conditions proposed by
Court Fsterhazy. Ia fact, the conduit Of the Car
gives rse 10 the sTuDgest versions. Some suppose
Tat the Cabinet of ST. Perer, burg has before,
oepttd the Austrian conditions only with the intention
Of separating the particular interests of Germany from
the general interests OF Europe represented by the
Western Powers. Others pretend that no Russian
diplomatic will sign treaty OF peace on these bases,
for according to them far distant from 1884
and I'M when, by the treaty OF Wiasma, Vladislas,
King Of Poland forbade the Gar Michael the founder
Of the ROmanof dynasty, to assume the title OF Auto
crat Of all the Russa, aud when by the treaty of the
Pruth Acbmet obliged Peter |. 10 the Ortresses
Of Taganrog, ComenOi-ZnOuD, and Sumara. Such are
the remarks lust among the chiefs OF the Russian
party, defeated as they The capital hos been
much agated since yesterday. According 10 tEe
system OF compensation which appears to have become
for some time the rule of conduct of our Govern
ment, Prince Alexander GorcbakOf may soon be re-
called from Vienna, az his cousin has been from the
Crimea. As to the interview between the two
Younger brothers Of the Gar the subject OF the
solution which the Grand Duke Nicholas con-
missioned to make TO the Grand Admiral, and which
interview took place this morning only, it was of
very violent character In spite Of what Is said to
the contrary the news is official and certain and the
Gar has declared formally that the Austrian PROPOSE
tiops to be the bases of Interior pacific negota
tons and for the present may be considered the true
performances Of peace. 1t was, no doubt TO avoid
painful explanations with the Grand Duke Constantine
that the Emperor sent him bis brother Nicholas. He
even took the precauon to let bis decision reach Vien
ma by the telegraph, and also the official note of the
Cbancery reach Count Esterhazy before exposing him
self 10 domestic scenes which could only annoy and
affct him, but not change his resolution. The Grand
Duke Constantine is greatly iuitated against bis
brother. The Nceroyalty of Poland reserved for the
Grand Duke Nicholas, and which, according to usage,
should fall 70 his lot IA small cause Of his irritation.
Placed at the head of the eccentric fraction Of the
Russian party, of those who named the lntract-
ables the Grand Admiral thought be should make him
sef popular, but has not succeeded, while his brother
Nicholas enjoys an indisputable popularity. This
young prince loved hitherto for himself has seen the
affection Of the people increase in consequence of his
marriage with the Princess Petrowns, daughter OF
Prince Peter Of 0ldenburg."
Another private letter from St. Petersburg OF the
same date, via Brussels mentions that among the
diplomatic body aud at the Court the conclusion OF
peace was regarded as iEeri,aJle-such is the term
used. Nevertheless the unconditional acceptance Of
the Austrian propositions had produced considerable
sensation in the capital IL adds thai with the excep
ton Of the functionaries. who are Of course ready
there a. in other capitals TO approve everything, and
TO euogze every act Of the Government, this sudden
and most unexpected return TO pacific ideas gen
orally illreeeved, not merely by tue old MuscOvite
party, but also by the Of the people. Tue popu
lar faDsticsm had been reused TO such pitch ATE,
the fan Of Sevastopol that at the present moment is
awork Of difficulty TO make them accept political
arrangement as necessary and desirable for the en-
pire. The public mind greatly agitated, and
there would be nothing surprising in the fact Of an
outbreak.
