Scarcely any doubt is now felt at the Foreign OMce but that the conference will assemble. Ynere is au- thority for saying that the English government considers Prussia’s intervention exceedingly useful. Prussia heard with regret and surprise of the Rus- sian circular, the issue of which now at icast was a surprise; and she concurs in the English view that if the Powers enter into a conference its action must be wholly unfettered, It is gettied that the conference, If held, will meet at London, and it will surely be held, if no unfore- seen obstacle prevents. No doubt 1s felt of Russia’s assent to the principle of a conference, As for the question of withdrawing Gortchakof’s frst note, it will probably be avoided or evaded rather than forced to the direct issue. England 1s disposed to be content with practical results, and if Russia agrees frankly to enter a con- ference, opening au questions, there will neither be difMiculty about phrases nor unwillingness to meet her views, a8 now understood, on the easen- tal points of the treaty.
