LONDON, Jan. ss24.-Though it is the
general impression in most of the
European capitols that the Turks will ac-
cept Russaia's conditions and peace be con-
cluded, yet much doubt and anxiety pre-
walls, particularly in London and ST
Petersburg, The latest advices from the
latter places say more confidence is felt
since the peace conditions were submitted
to Austria and were objected to on her
own behalf, thus minimizing the danger of
the Anglo Austrian alliance.

tinople. If the Russians attempt to go to
Gallipoi or Constantinople, there is hardly
a doubt the British ministry will interfere,
if supported by majority of parliament,
and they probably will be, although the
most advanced section Of opposition in both
houses would not regard the occupation Of
OF Constantinople as interference with
British interests, or ground for hostile
action. Meantime the military situation
of the Turks is not so desperate as has
seemed during the past few days Of panic;
nevertheless the Porte is very anxious for
, cessation of hostilities, Notwithstanding
: Suleiman Pasha's army is safe, and prepar
ations for the defense of the short line
across the peninsula at Tchalaladja are well
! advanced.
