The cabinet agreed to Granvilles reply en-
pressing the willingness of England to agree to
conference, provided Russia withdraws Corr
schakoffs first note. Messengers were imme-
diHtely sent to st. Petersburg and Versailles
to carry this reply.
Private advices from st. Petersburg repre-
sent the anti. English feeling SO strong that
even Old English residents find it necessary to
absent themselves from public places

BRUSSELS, Nov 29-Belgum asks for the
naturalization of Dunkirk. 1t is said the en-
press of the French has been in this city since

THE ENGLISH CABINET AND RUssIA's DEMAND

tanning Bismarck's proposal for conference to

PRUSSIA HOLDS THE KEY TO THE POSITION.
LONDON, Nov. 29.-[Special to the N. Y.
Tribune. ]-Prussa's action, so much suspect

foreign office that the conferel &c will assemble.
There is authority for saying that the English
government considers Prussia's intervention
exceedingly useful. Prussia heard with regret
and surprise of the Russian circular, the issue
OF which now at least was surprise, and she
concurs in the English view that if the powers
enter into conference its action must be wholly
unfetteree.
1t is settled that confidence if held will
meet at London, and will surely be held. No
of a conference. As for the question tf with
drawing Gortschakof's first note it will rroba-
bly, be avoided or evaded rather than be forced
to a direct issue.
England is disposed to be content with prac-
tical results and if Russia agrees frankly to en-
ter the conference, opening all questions there
will neither be no difficulty about phrases nor
an unwillIDsness to meet Der views as now I'M
derstood on the essential points of the treaty.

TURKEY WILL PROBABLY AGREE TO CONFER
ENCE.
The Tribune's special correspondent at st.
Petersburg, on Tuesday evening, at o'clock,
telegraphs that Turkey has not yet consented
to conference but probably will; since act
uated by desire for peace she objects not to
the Russian demands and cares not for the
neutrality of the Black Sea. 1t is rumored
that the Sultan has sent here an autograph
letter on the subject.
