of the Russian march southwark, bat it had no
means of Judging of their accuracy. A Reuter- tee-
gram from Consiantnople however, goes so far as to
say that the Russians have arrived at kcshan,
walled town, twenty six miles north of Gallip0li,
and that they expect to be at the latter place by
Saturday.
The rnnors in question may be designed to I'M
pei the British Government to aid Turkey. lEey
of the sacm tenor as the reports that the Rus
slams Will continue to advance on C0nstantlnOpIe
If their terms not accepted as soon Us they are
named; that Austria will sanction that course, and
that Russia will subsequently, decree that C0nstaI-
tinOpe shall be "a free city. All may be designed 10
awaken British dstrust and jealously.
