direct negotiations 10 the mediation Of

successes and the vantage ground now
held By The armies OF the Gar, would

Le chooses, if there were no other
interests save those of Turkey and
Russia to iufueuee the negotiations,
but the revival Of the war feeling IN
England reuders the early interference
of that power quite probable, aud this
may account for the Cars willing
