viewed here as matter in which Prussia
should decline to NEEDLE. The belief is gene

apparently IN harmony with Russia on the
Eastern question.

The FEELING ON THE RUSSIAN QUESTION

Prussia is so sore against him that while the
recent proposition for an armistice between
russia and France was really his own he re-
framed from proposing it, and pushed on Eng
land to take the initiative. His action in the
present Russian complication is crippled for
the same reason. He fears to make any step

really anxious to resign. The general belief is
that the Russian movement is really a demon
straton only intended to work in the interests
OF Prussia in order that the outside world NAV
have something else to watch besides the oper-
atiOns of Prussia in France. 1t ia believad
that public opinion in Europe now alone de-
lays the bombardment of Paris. While little
doubt is entertained of eventual trouble

CONFLICT OF OPINION ON THE TREATY .QUEs-

aid. Notwithstanding the momentary and
somewhat forced unanimity existing in the
that this unaHimity exists only in theory; that
Russia will not proceed to enforce her claim,
but that upon finding England, Austria, Italy
and France resolute she will submit matters to
arbitration and not engage in war; Should
this expectation prove decisive tho peace party
in the cabinet will insist on England's abstain
ing from all war measures. The consequences
Will be either the resignation of a portion of
the cabinet or a complete change Of govern
ment: Reports tonight indicate the summon
ing of parliament next week.
OdO Russell was sent to Versailles to ask
Bismarck categorically fhe would acquiesce
at once and Internationally in the rejection of
Russia's pretensions. The war party of the
cabinet propose, should Bismarck's answer be
either negative or hestating and disngenous,
to inform Russia that she must choose between
I the withdrawal of her claims and war, but the
peace party of the cabinet suppose that Bis
marck, without committing himself further,
will propose Congress of all the powers to
DISCUSS and decide upon the notifications of
the treaty of 1856. The peace party are deter
mined to do all that is possible to induce the
government to dissent to this arrangement.
while the war party are equally resolved to
adhere to their position, and split is immi
nent. member of the peace party of the
government informed your correspondent on
Tuesday that the administration would finally
yield to Russa's demands since she asked no
more than her rights.

the party of the cabinet prevails.
Odo Russell has not yet reached Versailles

EARL RUSSELL ON THE SITUATION.
Earl Russell has written pamphlet on the
situation. He proposes q joint armed resist
ance OF the powers of Prussia demands more
than Alsace and part of Lorraine, and urges
England to form strong military reserves based
on the militia and to place a strong garrison at
Quebec under an able commander.
Diplomats all claim to have known that the
demand of Russia would have been made
sooner or later. Public opinion in Russia is
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 communicated
Goftsehakoff S note to Won Beust he accompa-
nled 1T with the assurances of the most peace
fui intentions on the part of his government.
Inc Fall Mall Gazette, referring to Odo Rus
seiIs special mission to Versailles, believes
that the Under Secretary will return within
twenty-four hours with dsavowa ON the
part OF Prussia with Russa's pretensions, or
will leave behind him assurances that an I'M
satisfactory reply will be considered equivalent
to completely.
The Journal de ST. Petersburg declares that
Hussla Will not prove unwilling to submit her
demands to congress if it can be held imme-
diately. 1t denies that Russia's note meant
the a6rogation of the entire treaty. Turkey,
says, is threatened with internal dangers, and
intervention is necessary now.
