LONDON. April T. To the New York Herald:
The eastern question is trembling in the balance.
England praying I'd hoping for peace is hope
lessy and steadily drifting into war. The peace
feeling grows weaker in all upper circles Of So
ciely, and the tension of war grows stronger from
day 10 day. The court circles are undeniaby war
like. Among military men the argument Is in
vogue that 1t is easier to whip Russia while she 10
1t Ii weakened after the recent war, than when
she has had time to recover from it's effects. Bea-
consfed is anxious to redeem the Disgrace Of the
disastrous, humlliaing diplomacy OF last year.
and the working classes rejoice at the &c.
tvity IN the dock yards aud srsenals. The bank
ers aud merchants see large profits accruinG from
the new loans and new contracts for supplies.
Peace can only come I. om the powerful iufu-
ence of Germany. Cunt Andtassy is anxiously
striving to revive the congress. Meantime the
friend. Of peace will make gallant strenuous ef-
forts. Germany is using her utmost eff,rts in
favor of q general accommodation. Russia holds
. defiant attitude and argues that it it cost one
hundred thousand men to hold San Stefano, she
would not leave until after = general genuine
peace.
