ed to the fact that Russia for many years, has paid
court to the United States, and that therefore pub
lie opinion in America might be inclined to Russia.
America however now sympathizes with the French
republique, and rs the Russian case is identical
with the case of Germany, Americans may have
occasion to transfer their sympathy to Turkey.

ter the EuXnc, with an American trigate, but how
favor to- ,1cho HIStip r,1icI aI
parsonage, beside justfyng her record for the Uni
ted States Turkey will hail with delight any mani

LONDON, Nov. 80. Prussias action, SO much
suspected at first, promises to be the key to the
situation. Scarcely any doubt is now felt at the
Foreign Office that the Conference will assemble
There is authority for saying that the English
Government considers Prussia's Intervention ex-
ceedingly useful. Prussia heard with regret and
surprise of the Russian circular the issue Of which
now at least was a surprise, and she concurs in
the English views that if the powers enter in con-
ference its action must be wholly unfettered. 1t
is settled that Conference if held, will meet at
London, and it will surely be held. No doubt is
felt OF Russias assent to the principle Of Confer
ence.
The Tribune special correspondent at St. Peters
burg, on Tuesday evening at o'clock telegraphs
that Turkey has not yet consented to conference,
but probably will, since actuated by desire for
peace, she objects not to the Russians demands,
and care not for the neutrality of the Black Sea- 1t
is rumored that the Sultan has sent her an auto
graph letter on the subject.
