THE EASTERN QUESTION,


LONDON, March 3O.-A despatch from ST..
Petersburg says that on Monday Lord LOTUS,
the British ambassador, had stormy interview
with Gortschakoff. The latter used very ener.
getic language relative to England's refusal to
make any advances toward peaceable solu-
ton This Interview, it was thought, would
destroy all hopes of peace.
However, by Wednesday morning, other
counsels seem to have prevailed, for telegram
was then sent to Count Schouvaloff, in which
Russia made another step towards concessions
The kilograms authorized Schouyaloff to EN-.
body Russla's promise to dsarm in memoran-
duHn, which memorandum may, if necessary.
be read in Parliament
The following are the conditions attached tn
the promise: That the Porte make peace with
Montenegro, accept the protocol, and send an
ambassador to st. Petersburg to arrange the
matter of Generalization. Schouvaloff COM
municated the foregoing to Lord Derby, We'd

The Montenegrin Negotiations.
A Telegraph's dispatch from Pera, dated the
18TH, states that on that day the Mentenegrin
delegates were to visit Safuet Pasha for the
last time to ask if Turkey will cede Niosics. A
satisfactory reply is possible, as the foreign
representatives have been doing their utmost to
bring about the arrangement.
1t is believed that Russia has advised Mono
enegrip to make peace.
The expressions of opinion in the Turkish
chamber against the cesson of territory to
Montenegrin will not affect the question of
Nicscs, as the debate referred entirely to the
Albanian district
