away the hours about tho prospect OF war
bet England and Russia. He took only q
lacsnic part therein. l don't know that he ex-
pressed any opinion to the relative merits Of the
two sides of the controversy. but he always
expressed tho highest regard for the English
Nation. The news Of the overthrow Of the French
Ministry, consequent upon the disasters
in China, led to some talk about tho
permanence of the Republic. He expressed his
Eastern question, the General expressed the
opinion that in the ultimate settle
ment Constantinople would probably be
free city, and Asia Minor, Egypt,
Palestine and the Valley of the Euphrates would be
made pretectorates. He had great hope of the
East, through the increase of commercial rela-
lions with the West He believed
that there would be rapid railroad in the
East and that the great highway Of co,nmunca-
ton would be found to be through tho valley Of the
Euphrates and not the Suez Canal"

that he was going to def" asked the corre-
spondent.

apparently hopeful of his ultimate recovery;
