Mint, says tho Carson ARpeal Of tho

4 London dispatch of the 18th says
the attempt to create feeling against
Russia by the publication OF Laynrd's o
correspondence has failed because 1t
comes at time when the people are
HRtiated with atrocities, and whe the
Russians are crippled by reverses. ihe
military situation permits no immedl
alto apprehension nc to tho effect upon
British interests OF the SUCCESS Of the
Russian schemes. Tho compromise
party is growing rapidly, and the de-
rnands Of European diplomacy will be
brought to bear on the bclligerents to
conclude peace upon the basis OF tho
autonomy Of the Christian provinces of
European Turkey and ncutralIzing tho
Dardnnellcs. 1t ia feared that tile
Turks are too elated and the Russians
too enragcd TO listen TO the suggestion.
Tho defensive policy OF the Turks is
based upon q desire to prolong the
campaign till Winter, when sickness
aud !he difficulty OF procuring supplies
will inJuro tho Russians moro th.cn tho
loss OF several great battles, and it l.
hoped will produce reaction in Russia
before another year and lead to penco.
The Russians are slraining every nerve
toget forces enough to make the coming
battle an overwhelming SUCCESS.
