THE RUSSIAN QUESTION.
LONDON, Nov. ls.-Diplomats all claim tn
have known that the demand OF russia would
he made sooner or later. Such public opinion
as there l. in Russia i represented to be in favor
OF peace English officers are volunteering for
service in the Turkish army 1t is stated that
when the Russian Minister at Vienna commu-
nicatsd Prince GOruschakoff's note to Baron
Won Beust, he accompanied Ii with assurances
OF the most peaceful intentions on the part of
bis government The Pal MAI Gazette, refer
ring to Odo R1ssell's special mission to Yer
sallies, believes he will return within twenty
four hours with a dissvowal on the part of
Prussia OF sympathy with Russia's pretensions,
or will leave behind assurances that an unsatls-
factory reply will be considered equivalent to
completely The JeurHaI de 81. Petersburg de-
ciares Russia will not prove unwilling to submit
mediately- IL denies that the Russian note
meant abrog alton Of the entire treaty. Turkey
says, Is threatened with internal dangers, and
Intervention rs necessary now.
THE ATTITUDE OF PRUSSIA.
LoSDoS, Nov. Is IN. Y. Herald Special
have authority for stating that telegraphic dis
patches have been received by the government
indicating the position taken by Prussia in re-
gard 10 the Russian question. Prussia declares
that the views Russia claim natural, aud
there should be annie able settlement of the
araH- She cannot see any reason TOR alarm on
the part of the cosgnatory powers. Russia
might have appealed to the corignatories for
revision OF the treaty of Paris, but one of them
has at present no organized government, aud is
therefore unable to take part in any congress
that might have been proposed Ii seems to be
admitted by Granville that infractiOns of the
treaty have actually occurred in the case of the
principalities, not by Russia's action. 1t is i'm
material whether these iDfractions conduce to
the interest or Russia not. They neyerthe-
less seem 10 justify her in declaring that other
portions OF the same treaty are no longer bind
ing, especially when she di-claims in good faith
any intention to reopen the eastern question
or commit any act hostile to the other powers
This Is the substance OF Russia's reply and she
viii hold aloof from any further action in the
matter.

THE FEELING IN VIENNA.
vienna. Nov. 1s-lSpecial to the New York
Herald. While great excitement has been Gre
ated here on the Russian question, the feeling
Is decidedly not waTlike. The general belief Is
that the Russian movement il really a demon

Prussia, in order that the outside world NAV
