Turkey has concluded terms Of peace
with Russia, and virtually become sub
seryient to the Gar, and the Russian
army moves upon Constantinople with
out further resistance from Turkey.
England has been hating between two
opinions till her opportunity for success
ful action has been lost. She now
growls little, appropriatos six million
for warli!c purposes, orders her navy
to the Dardanelles, and does n wonderful
deal, of clustering. But what has she
now to gain by war with Russia ?
Turkey has chosen another physician
to prescribe for her maladies, and Eng

The effect of sending the fleet to Con,

tiat there are about 80 or 80 with
White Bird now in Sitting Bulls camp,

totheir reservation. Bus as the gov

tn. effect, the matter is being considered.
Chapman looks we'll, is we'll and having

Sioux desired smoke and to hold a
council. The Crows and Gros Ventros,
however, thought the tobacco a decoy,
and were afraid to venture out.
