LONDON, October 31.-The decline
On the stock market, yesterday, was
in consequence of the Cabinet meet
ing, called for the purpose, as is IN
derstood, of cor sidering what steps |
should be taken in regard to the con-
tinued and formidable movements OF
Russia.
1t is stated that Russia has DOW
100000 men under arms. ready to
take the field on the western provinces
Of the Empire.
The story Of secret treaty between
Prussia and Russia, relative to the
eastern question, has been revived at
Vienna with much feeling and good
deal of circumstantiality.
1t is now alleged that in the event
of q peace, humiliatipg to France,
Prussia has bound herself by a secret
treaty, signed at Wiesbaden, in July
last, between Gortschakof and Bis
marck, to support the revision by
Europe of the treaty of Paris and lib
Grafton to Prussia of the Black Sea
with the Dardanelles. This is ex-
pected to be the price demanded by
Russia for permitting Germany to

1t is further affirmed that as Russia
does not care to leave the fulfllment
of this treaty to the close of the war.
She is now insisting that In a treaty
with France, Prussia shall not secure
either fortresses or a serious reinforce
ment of her strength on this side of
the Rhine. The Russian diplomatists
regard it az essential to the safety of
Poland, and the progress of the Rus
sian Empire westward, that Ger
many should be left more or less ex-
posed to peril from the side of France
In short, it is believed in Vienna, and
signs are that it is beginning to be
believed in London, that Russia
having led Germany on this far In
war, until her primary object in the
prostratiOn OF France has been ac-
complished even more completely than
was ever hoped or expected, has
meanwhile been preparing herself
quietly, and is now prepared to exert
such a pressure on both combatants
as shall secure to her all her objects
in the East without imperiliDg her
European weight.
LONDON. November 1.-The Ipde-
pendence Beige at Brussels, derives

time Of the entry of the German
troops, the fact that the French lead
ers, to the last, deceived the army by
promises to cut their way out.
These promises were solemnly re-
peated, even while negotiations for

The Independence Beige says Gam
BETA was unquestionably right in
charging Bazaine with high treason
The population of Metz were unani-
nous in denouncing Bazaine as q
traitor. After the capitulation had
been agreed upon, the people fol
lowed the Marshal through the
streets, bowling the epithet traitor
in his ears.
At Tours the news of the capitula-
ton Of Metz fell upon the govern

Judgment, and deprecate the strong
language of Gambetta's proclamation
condemning Bazaine. The latter

the Marshal a fair opportunity tC
