Perensouno, Feb. 4.—Drince Qortechn- kofl’s note, which s addressed to the Russian representatives at the Courts of the other guar- anteeing Powers, I3 published It the Oficlal Ga- zefle to-day. The note firet calls to mivd the fact that, through Russfa’s inftiative, an under- standing hetween the Great Powers was brought about at the beginning of the Eastern crisis, This agreement was disturhed by the rejection of the Beriin memorandum, but was short 1y afterward restored on a basis pro- posed by [England. The Powers at the Conference unanimously submitted thelr demands to the Porte, which declined them. Princo Gortschakoff considers that Eu- rope, by Its united diplomatic action, has proved that it {s deeply [nterested in the maintenance of peace In the East, and that it has recognized 1t to be its duty, aswell asits right, to co-operate for that end. on behalt of the general interest, - The Russian CGovernment, being guided by o desire to waintain European accord in this new phase of the Eastern ques- tlou, has, before coming to any decision in the matter, Instructed its represcntatives to nscer- tain for certain whnt course tho Governments to which they are acercdited mean to pursue in ¢ view of the refusal of tho Porto to accede to w thelr unanbmous wishes. - TURKRY AND NOUMANIA.

The ZTUmes corrcspondent says it is JI‘Q yuite proboble that the Turkish proposals to < Bervia and Montenegro were more the result of i o desire to appear magnunlinous In the cyes of ,Europe than of au .auxicty for peace, as tho - Porte undoubtedly betieved that, in the event éfi of n Russo-Turkish war, Russia will make use of Bt o .
