srand Duke Nicholas will enter Constantinople
with portion of his army, but will come as
guests and friends Of the nation, with the CON
sent OF the Sultan. The Russians consider this,
viii give England no ct&us bclii especially as
Yer ships are near the capitol against the ex-
ress wishes OF the Sultan and the Porte. In
jhe Russian camp q renewal Of hostilities is
discussed as more probable than peace,
md every measure is being adopted to
consolidate the Russian advance. The entrance
of the British feet into the Dardanelles before
tb,e conclusion of an armistice would have
bfS zen received, it is unhesitatingly said by the
IA lssians to be q declaration of war, but wheth-
} such wonld now be the case is doubtful War
nth England would be very popular with the
Army, though the officers speak of it gravely as
terrible struggle. In this state of feeling if
we have to beg in again, say the Russian officers.
nothing could save Constantinople from us,
and we would not leave stone another.
