MEETING OF THE TURKISH PEACE COMMISSIONERS AND THE RUSSIAN AUTHORITIES.
London, Jan. 19.—A correspondent at Pera states that the Turkish delegates met Grand Duke Nicholas at Tirnova-Semlin and preliminary notes were exchanged. The grand duke then announced that he had decided to treat only at Adrianople, which should be immediately evacuated. The delegates having assembled, orders were telegraphed to Djemil Pasha to evacuate Adrianople. Upon this decision being communicated to foreign consuls they telegraphed their ambassadors for instructions and were ordered to remain and protect their countrymen. Djemil Pasha then prepared to retire upon fortified lines before Adrianople, where reinforcements are now concentrating. The Russians will probably arrive at Adrianople in two days, Tirnova-Semlin being thirty-five kilometres distant therefrom. Negotiations will then begin. It is generally thought here that the wisest policy is for Turkey to make peace at once.
The Times' Pera correspondent says when Victoria telegraphed the sultan he was already acquainted with the views of the British government, and that she had, herself, urged the czar to a prompt and honorable peace.
