A TURKISH OPINIONs
LONDON, November 28.-The Cabi-
net was in session from one until
eight o'clock. The result is unknown.
At the close of the Council, Gran
Vile proceeded to Windsor to have
another audience with the Queen.
No reliable accounts have been re-
ceived of the result of the fighting
on the front and tanks of Gen. Au-
relies yesterday and to-day.
The correspondent of the World
had an interview to day with the
Turkish Ambassador, Monsourons
Pasha. The Ambassador alluded to
the fact that Russia had, for many
years, paid court to the United States,
and that, therefore, public in America
might be induced to favor Russia.
Americans, however, now sym
pathize with the French Repub
lie, and as the Russian cause is
Identical with the cause of Germany,
Americans may probably have cause
to transfer sympathy to Turkey. Tur-
key permitted Admiral Farragut to
enter the Euxine with an American
frigate; and Turkey will hail with de-
light any signs of the intention on the
part of the United States to take a
more active interest on European con-
Germs, for the transparent rectitude OF
her (Turkisb) own intention can only
render every additional arbiter OF her
unsought quarrels, a friend gained to
her cause.

GORTsCHAKoFF's LAST BoMBsHELL SHOCKS
THE BRITISH CABINET
LONDON, Nov. 28.-The Cabinet,
after an unharmonious session to. day,
broke up again with a decision to
meet again on Wednesday. Gorts-
chakof's last bombshell has created
a terrible CONSERVATION, and the Cab
| met at least feels disinclined to an
sWer as speedily as Granville replied
| to the first test. The last Russian
lletter is strictly withheld from the
public, the Ministers being anxious
to have their reply appear at the
same time.
A rumor is now prevailing that
Lowe, Bright and CardWell will go out
of the Cabinet. They refuse to make
war at any price, while Granville in
sists that Russia must be compelled
/ to withdraw her letters before even a
Congress can be assented to by Eng
land.
1t is said that the council to-mor.
row, to be presided over by the Queen,
is a formal meeting, to be held for
business and will have no connection
with Russian affairs.
Russia's reply is anxiously and ner-
yously awaited.
The rumors of Russia's willingness
to submit to a Congress are believed
groundless.
A correspondent at Vienna, on the
18th, says: There are reports here
that Bismarck, by the direction of the
King, has addressed letters 10 Gort-
schakoff expressing a desire that
Russia accept Prussia's mediation,
pledging Prussia s influence to secure
such modification of the treaty as will
satisfy Russia.
