London, Nov. 80. The position taken by
Prussia on the Russian question, and which
probably will be communicated to the British
Cabinet to-day, is that like Italy,haying signed
one treaty on the 18th of March, 1896, for the
purpose of guaranteeing the independence
and integrity OF the Turkish Empire; she is
not like England, France and Austria, who
concluded an additional treaty on the Nth Of
April, 1856, by which they bound themselves
to consider any infraction of any one Of the
stipulations Of the treaty of 30th of March, as
a casus BELLE. and obliged themselves to fight
for the maintenance of a clause to which a
great power cannot submit forever, and which
does not in any way infringe the principles Of
the first treaty.
So far as Prussia is concerned, therefore,
she does not regard Russian position as
threatening war, because the St. Petersburg
Cabinet does not intend to endanger the indie
pendence or integrity of Turkey.

The Times to-day reviews the story that
terms of peace have been settled between
King William and Napoleon, by which the
latter cedes Strasbourg and Metz, and returns
to France at the head of his army.
The Times edterially declares this highly
probable as the position OF the Germans Is so

All the Journals ridicue the German dis
patches claiming victories in late engagements
