| PURIFIER PARTICULARS OF THE FEELING IN
ENGLAND.
| NEW YORK, Nov. IA special to the
| World from London says that the "peace-at-
an, price B" party in the Cabinet find them
selves unable to resist the popular demand
| for war with Russia unless She abandons
| her present position.
| Earl Granville has told Gladstone that
| they must choose between going with the
tide or out of office. The members of the
| Cabinet who oppose Earl Granville III the
position assumed by him in his reply to
Gortschakotf are Messrs. Lowe, Childers,
| Curdwell, Bruce. and Egerton. The truth
| is that Earl Granville sent his reply In hot
haste. without consulting his colleagues,
and then informed them that the country
assented to his position, and that he could
not and would not recall his note.
The Morning Post says, editorially, that
! the cause Of France has now become the
cause of Europe; that all the neutral States
are bound to assist her to obtain peace, and
leave her intact, or aid her in the continu-
ance of the war, in order to hold Prussia
engaged-while England, Austria, Italy,
and Turkey whip Russia into submission.
Prussia must sign an easy peace to liberate
her forces, or France, declining her terms,
will prove herself the Saviour Of Europe.
rhe Standard has a bitter attack upon
| Russia and Prussia-two powers that, it
saws, have conspired to commit mon
strous act of pertidy and violence in auda-
cious contempt Of morality, and introduce
| ing chaos and Il series of endless European
wars.
The existence of no English Ministry is
worth a weeks purchase that would dare
not give fight to this insolent challenge.

Tortschakoff must be known, which can
not be had probably for Il fortnight.

ON Tuesday. An instant reply Is not ex-
