that conflict between the Sultan and his
ministers was avoided by compromise, an
agreement about the conditions OF peace,
the Porte leaves it to the discretion OF the
powers to consider the grounds which have
induced the Porte to place before the
powers these conditions as calculated to
show its readiness to grant an arm!stice as
soon as the powers have taken them into
consideration. The powers unanimously
regard the conditions as inadmissible, but
here their unar:Mity ends, some still advO-
others are satisfied with mere cessation of
hostilities.
