The Eastern Question.

NEw loEk, April S0th.-ln an inter
view at ST. Petersburg yesterday, Gen.
Isua,ieff said there were ninety-nine
chances in one hundred that the Con-
gress would meet early, and that he
would attend and accompany Gortscha-
kof, and that the Congress cannot annul
the San Stefano treaty. He said that
Russia could not demand less tnan she
had already asked st the Constantinople
conference; otherwise the war had been
waged in vain.
What think you will be the result OF
the Congress, peace or war;
who knows? In dealing with Eng
land. one is never sure Of anything. II
she can ge, up war without being COM
PEELED to participate, England will have
war. If however. ii is clear that she
will be obliged to fight, We have reason
to believe that we shall have peace"
What will be the Russian attitude at
the Congress-"
Firm, Having conceded SO much in
order to arrive at Congress, Russia is
determined that the Eastern question
shall be finally decided so that there will
not be a renewal of the struggle mex,
year"
80 YOU anticipate nothing certain as
to the issue of the Congress!'
1T is impossible 10 form an opinion
vet. War or peace depends on England
first, then on Austria Russia will not
yield more. If England and Austria are
not contented with our concessions at
present, lean only say that we are ready
aud disposed for whatever may come"
BELGRADE, 80. Ii appears that the
friendship between Russia and Servia is
completely restored.
