The War.

THE war news the past week has put a somewhat different aspect upon affairs in the East. The peace negotiations did not run so smoothly as anticipated. The demands of Russia were reported much larger than at first announced. But while the armistice hung fire, the Russians did not, but kept up a vigorous push toward Constantinople, so that on Friday last they were reported within twenty-four hours’ march of the city. The week closed with the impression that but little was known concerning the immediate prospects of peace; and that what was known was not known for certain.
