Some of the Russian officers made use Of
their r~eyolyers on Sunday, when the Servian
troops were showing their courage by q gene
raj stampede. Several Of the ruDaways were
shot dead on the spot but this speedy execu-
ton did not have any very appreoiable effect In
staying the flight Of the Servlans.
IT is uDgrateful, to be sure but If the Ser
viaus had 10 choose this moment between q
Russian occupation and peace on Turkeys W
terms, there Is not the slightest doubt that
they would accept the latter, Their dread
and hatred Of their allies in this war have
become intense. The change from love to
hatred have been very rapid in this case.
The determination Of the volunteers and the
disdain they manifest towards The puslIlanl-
nous peasant Militia have effected it. Lately,
when the Seryian people were under the de
fusion that they were going to win, one con-
stantly heard fears expressed Of the difficulty
there would be in getting the Russians to quit
the victorious plains Of Servia. There need
be no longer any apprehensions on that score.
ii Russia herself does not plant her foot here
the volunteers are thoroughly di5gu8ted with
the whole eTair, and speak Of the Servians as
a peopIe not worth lighting for. Some Of the
Russian ambulanOeS have broken up, End the
surgeons who dill duty in them have returned
to their own county. All this is exceedingly
likely TO have it9 effect on the S|olaV0ni0 Com,
miftee5 and those who Contribute TO them, and,
therefore, the present is on o1p0rtunG time for
q pacific and moderate settlement Of the Eas-
tern Question. The experience Of the Servian
campaign has done much TO cool exuberant
Pan9llyuni6 enthusiasm. Indeed, | do not
thiuh anything could be better calculated to do
that than a short personal acquaintance with
the Slays Of Tho numerous Provinces which
have been represented here since the CONF
m.noement Of the war.
PARIS, Oct. 81.
lido not believe public opinion was ever
moro severely tried than it has been in this
Oriental question, In which the Unforeseen 50.
absolutely prevails. Probabilities have only
to declare for one sense of The solution Of this
complex problem, and some event comes AMI
oyerturns all calculations and completely
change the aspect Of things. Yesterday It
was The speech Of the German Emperor that
suddenly came and suspended pacific opinion.
To-day it is the note IN sbe JouauJ O9Iclcl Il

this piece .faeTs arrived people were already
beginning to lie treasured about the speech Of
the German Emperor They were saying that
this reference to the triple alliance being
maintained despite all events, and the ~allusion
to the possible necessity Of still shedding
German blood, and all this alarming passage
had, perhaps, no other aim than to second Ia
an Indirect way the negotiations pending be-
tween Turkey and Russia that the speech
was simply meant to say to Turkey, Don't
let the success Of your arms dazzle you; don't
be too e~xacting, for the triple alliance exists,
and Russia does nothing aud demands nothing
without being assured Of the appreciation Of her
faithful allies. Such was the sense given this
morning to the Emperor's speech.
The Ingenious and tranqullizlng had found
that Interpretation after a nights redexion.
The people were beginning to show more
confidence when q telegram arrived announ-
cling the threatening note published by the
Journal O3iclcl of St. Petersburg. The alarm
produced can be imagined. The pesaimists
had been 50 long expecting this altimatun
that 1T was quite a triumph for thom to be able
to rush about the town crying, i" At last Rus
STA has declared her ultlnatum. " The Opt
mists looked terrified, and the commencement
on the Bourso was q general fall. However,
towards the close it was announced that the
Armistce was signed. and, without knowing
whence this new rum0ur came, the brokers
regained courage and prices rose. These
fluctuations must De recorded without being
