in money circles is pacific. The Times
says: Desiring peace, we stand on the
maintenance of peace guarantees and the
Reputation altogether of the claim to su-
persede the obligation of the treaty of
1856, violation of which we cannot
| acquiesce in. Tho Times also gives q
conspicuous place to number of contri-
buttons insisting on the neutrality of the
Black Sea or declaration OF war.

patch says that it is officially stated in the
Telegraph that Russia has decided to

Attic cabinet council yesterday dis
patch was read from Odo Russell contain
ing Bismarck's proposal for conference
to be held at London to settle the ques-
ton of Russia's claims. Also a note from
Count Bernstorff to Granville stating that
Prussia recommended Russia to with
draw Gortschakoff's note on condition
that conference be held. GoTtscbakOff's

cabinet agreed to GranVille's reply ex-
pressing the willingness of England TO
agree TO a conference provided Russia

Prussia's ProvidentiaI Intervention
PrusSia's action, so much suspected at
first, promises to prove the key to the sit
uation, There is scarcely any doubt at
the foreign office that conference will
assemble. The English government con-
siders Prussia's intervention exceedingly
useful Prussia heard with regret and
surprise of the Russian circular, and con-
cuIs in the English view, that If the pow
ers enter into conference its action viii
be unfettered. 1t is settled that confer
ence if held will meet at London. 1t will
surely be held, if no unforeseen obstacle
prevents. There is no doubt of Russia's
assent to the principle of conference.
How to Bridge the Difficulty.
A special to the Tribune says: The
question of Withdrawing Gotschakoff's
first note will probably be avoided or
evaded, rather than force a direct issue.
England is disposed to be content with
the practical results, and if Russia agrees
frankly 10 enter conference opening all
questions, there will neither be any diff
Guilty about the phrases or any unwilling
ness to meet her views, as now undeI-
stood, of the essential points of the treaty.
Won Bismarck's energetic cooperation
elicits warm expressions from the English
statesmen who fortnight since distrusted
him most.
A special correspondent at to st. Peters
burg, Tuesday evening telegraphs that
Turkey has not yet consented to con-
ference, but probably will.
