tidentially informed of the deter

terms of peace are not immedi-

her obj sctions to Russia's .nten-
ton being carried out. 1t is sup
posed that the Russian peace nego-
tiations will be, subsequently, q de-
mand fer the conversion of Con.
stantinople into q sort of q neutral
commonwealth. The same cores

that the Porte will communicate
the Russian conditions to the Eu-

cept anothing If left without sup
port.
A correspondent at Vienna tel
egraphs that advices from Constan-
tinople show that o general panic
prevails there and that the excite
ment is hourly increasing. 1t is
believed that the guaranteeing
powers will send ships to protect
their subjects.
New instructions to the peace
delegates, of which Izzed iPasha
was the bearer, were sent more on
account of the panic than for any
other cause. The new instructions,
as we'll as comforting fuller powers,
insist, above all, upon the dele
gates doing everything possible to
stop the Russian advance. This
correspondent also maintains that
the Russians threaten to march
on Constantinople.

ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 23.-FrOm
all the information received from
well informed quarters, it appears
that the latest advices from Lon
don, via Vienna, are of rather
satisfactory character and the re-
lations between Russia and Eng
land are now on better footing.
The Agence Russo to-day, says the
Col 0s was well informed when it
announced yesterday, in telegram
from Vienna, that Austria seemed
entirely assured as to the protec-
ton Of her interests in the ap-
preaching negotiations for peace.

had something to do with the i'm
provement which has taken place

BERLIN, Jan. 23d.-A semi Off
cial provincial correspondence says
it perceives in an earnest and sue
cessful negotiation for an armistice

which have to be taken into con-

Eastern complications, success will
attend the efforts made to bring
about q solution, while fully pro-
tecting the interests of general
peace. A pledge of this seems af-
forded by the wisdom and modera-
ton of the Emperor Of Russia by
his intimate union with neighbour
ing Powers and the peaceful dispo-
sition recently manifested by Eng-
land
