(Per Press Agencfy., LATEST FROM EUROPE ♦ [By Submarine-Cable.J THE EASTERN QUESTION. London, November 21, The British Ambassador at St Petersburg had a most cordial audience with the Emperor Alexander on 2nd November. The Czar urged that a complete agreement should exist between Russia and England on the Eastern question, whose aims he said were identical. He solemnly gave his sacred word of honor that he had no intention of acquiring possession of Stamboul, and if he was compelled to occupy Bulgaria, it would only be temporarily. The Czar deplored the feeling of distrust which exists in England towards Russia, and further said that the idea which had taken possession of the British people that Russia contemplated the conquest of India was absurd, such a result being impossible. Russia is mobilising six army corps. The Turkish troops are evacuating Herzegovina.
