Ignati? Rumian Embasandor " near thi? Subliuie I'm I moat amiable man. If yon call npon him he bnppy to see yon, talk? to yon with a warm frankness which ia equally surprising and flat and lets yon go away, uft?*r an hour or no, con that for ?some re mon known only to himself he mitted you to his inmost confidence. You hav? from his own Upe what hi? august master think he desires pea?co above all things?what ho 1 thinks?that the Emperor is too slow ; and yo heard a hundred sprightly sayings in refer Bir Henry Elliot or the Turkish Ministers?p? comment*?, things which yftu are ?uro he woul much regret to have repeated. You go aw; you feel a certain hesitation about communi to any one what has been told you in eonfi You hesitate until you s?ee in some BSBTspapsi port of some other man's interviewa in whi GiMK-ral is declared to have said in a most i ingly frank manner the very opposite of whal frankly told you. Then you are a little pur./. know who is mystified. The fact is that Ignatieff Is a consummate master of diplsSBBS, as such he ia admired by those whu have notlr Btake, and feared by those whoa? all is at stt the existing crisis. He ha? probably moro po\ shape the decision of tho question of t.lu toward war or peace than auy other ma cause both the Turkish and the Rt Governments are strongly influenced by hi.? m of putting things. Gen. Ignatieff declares tli the recent ultimatum he a?*ted without ord causing his iro?>?ls to be packed an?} placed o steamer. " The Turks did not believe that 11 ?what I said. Their army was rushing on pushing the Servians to the wall. I had to stop somehow, and so 1 had the boxes packed am radetl along tin? main street down to the harbor. prodnc???! a panic, the Turks telegraphed to A Kerim I'asha to stop, Bud then wo had tho 1 brought back. Hut you Pee we, haven't unpai The moral effect of the boxes is good !" Geu. Ignatieff has a strong dislike for Sir n Elliot, the English Embaasador. For years respective policies have crossed each other, have often consisted mainly of attempts on the of one to outgeneral the other in potty mattei influence at the Port?. It is mainly owing t( fact that these two men can never agree that 8i> envoys have been appointed by the European I eminent? to sit with the Enibassadors iu tho proaching Conference. Geti. Ignatieff cannot S the English propositions of limited autonom' l'iosiiia, Herzegovina, aud Bulgaria. Sir Hi Elliot must have a very peculiar diet ion nry," he; " I can't find any such moaning to autonom my dictionary. The Emperor loves pence, ant ?ciclares that the English definition of autom shall be adopted. Ws obey, of course. But ni things may happen yel. And if a disagrees should arise among us in the Conference, and it sin by chance fall to Knssia to come to an undcrsti ing directly with the Torte, why then wo wiil ? our Russian dictionary and see what autom nicans before we settle this bastSSSS ?" Meantime the Turks aro making laSBSaSB prep: lions EDS war. Many troopa have been withdn /rom the Servian Irontier, aud are already marcli into the Danube vilayit to watch BSBSBSBia am guard the Black Sea coast. The heaviest iroii-i 1 are now anchored at the Black S?*a mouth of Ilosphorus, to guard against surprise l.y sea. Tot does are l>oii>gl<!adi?d and stored m bSBBbassali in iorts near tho Bla? k Bes entrance, and ?the pass ?of steamers through the Dardanelles and t hello*?], lm by night has been prohibited. Ninety battalion, the new levy of troops are already assembled, i transport steamers to carry them to any tlircatei point lie with coal on board waiting ?>rders. ? kev has still, apparently, one last card. She cat any moment forco Europe to face the question the special action to be taken in view of anot liussiau war. And if Europe is brought to the tual presence of such a war, the Turkish Minist aro confident that some one of the Euro's-an I'ow will be ready to fight against the partition of t empire. The situation of the conntry is very miserai One becomes tired of repeating the instances of n government and oppression which daily come light sa every hand. In parts of Europ?-an Turk the Turkish villagers are using such violence tow : their Christian neighbor?) that the people emign t?> the cities, where the Government can proD them, for it does not or cannot hold the village poi latious i*> check. Robberies arc common?so also i crimes against tbe p??rsou. Tho wretched suffer? from the atroiities of the Spring are receiving he They are, however, unarmed, and robliers tome up them nightly and run off stock, or carry off gOOl I,ven in broad day the Circassians roam the couuti pciy.iiii* whatever they iinajniie they can take w i impunity. Tin? iie-mant? complain, mount? ?1 poli SIS sent uff to find the robbers, and that is the k of it, iiuless the BBSS who complained are shot beaten, or have their bouses burned by the rob be i:? misais In Asiatic Turkey matters are very much as BSBl IYo'ile in the ordinary conditions of life hardly om complain, because it is of no avail. Tho state things may be judged from a few instances of i justice taken at random. A man in an Arineni: village had a cotton gin. Although such mai hin r.rc by law exempt from taxation, the tax farm? 1? vied a heavy sum on this one. The owner a J.H al.d to the "Mejlis" or elective council of tl district, and the council told him that if the ta patherer insisted he must pay, as tney could not la him. Iu another place a man bought a bag of ln-ai lit market and was g >ing home, when a Turk d< la iinled thein. a? lie had wished to buy beans tin day and Dono were left. Th? man refused lo se them, whereupon the Turk beat him tremendous)' and carried off the beans. Tho man in this cat even was afraid to complain. 1 have just ?SBSfl BMM tug ? lett?>r written from a place in th?? heart of A: ineuia by an Armenian iu whom I have confidi-in, and,he gives ?aso after cas?'of outrage and oammjtM aion in that region, tbBSBBBabsiSB* numbered i ?order. For instance, mi Armenian was bus ing flou of a Koord and quaireled alioiit the price. 1 _ Koord cursed him, his IsSsHj* individual!*,, and hi r?*lisriou. The Armenian said? "May your curs?' 1?-lit npon your own head." Thereupon th?* KsSfi cnllod out to other Moslems, "lias Molialnlili danisui expired, that this man can say sud a thing to me and livcf A general nisi ?as then made for tho wretched Armenian Vfho was only saved fiom death by a frit mil; Moslem, who gut him away inside of a hssst Again, a soldier bought soinetliing of an Aiinoniai for thnc pia?li IS? and gave him a eounteiIt-it live demanding change. The Armenian declined to taki It, B?SttSf to ?stt the goods go free if the soldier hat Do iuon?*y to pay. The soldier, however, im-Ntcd m basing UM chilli?-?* for-the coiilil? i lei! live, an?; finally beat the Armenian ecvercly. ?leclaring thai Such an infidel ahould not live. "Von sit licit niukmii mom y m ?,oui shop without intt rinj.lion, Six! we hi*, e tu go to ?inir*t|iie five times a day ami pray." Others interposed aud got the ?old?er away by entreaty. And ao my correspondent goes on Sliumertiting 1ft cas?"? which bad just come under bis ob-erviition in bis town and vicinity, wheie ChiiMians were maltreated by Moslems? roblx-d, beaten, their bouses burned, their flocks driven BE, thcumelvoa even killed. And all this is done simply ?because " th? Koarde kuow that, being Moslema, no Christian dare use armed force against them. If tbe bigoted local Governor inquires into the mutter by ?afiance, they have only to aay, " The giaour (Chris? tian! reviled M-ohaniinedaniam," and all inquiry at ?suce eeasea. The situation is terrible for the Christians. They kave to wait, hoping for help from tbe Government, ?hieb promise? ?verything, but practically they i bear of their Government only through the tax gathorers. The (}<.v?*r*imcnt is unable, a nid its treat cares of self-preservation iu tho present storm to (ITS a thctlght to interf?rent c lietwi-in MdSllSB BB H Cbrli-Sll MISS -subjects in their petty (t.i quarrels. Even with the constant attention of Q iv ? rn..i?nt and full inleution to rem?*?ly evils it w?nil.l be along long time before these outrages could be expected to end because of the natural bias of the oiheials toward Moslems rather than Christians. An intelligent and edin at'*d Armenian said to me yesterday, " If the Russians were to enter Armenia by Erzroom all these outrages would BBBSB? Let these Turkish robbers think they are free todo what they like and they will kill aud rob oil every side. But let them sei? a strong hand coming, with ?ustn c, towanl them and they will instantly become tin* most peaceable of men." And then my frieml ailded, "The Russians would stop outrage? by the Turks? but we don't want the Russians!" It is quite com? mon to suppose that a Russian BSBfBSfll would bs a desirable thing for the people of Turkey. Perhaps it would. Bui tho Christians of Turkey themselves, almost without exception, would regaid the acquisi? tion by Russia of control over their liberties as a terrible calamity. Even in Servia it is said that when Russia is now mentioned the common Servian makes the sign of the cross as an ?exorcism. In tins other part? of Turkey tho Christians have already, in theory and on paper, every liberty which man's heart could desire. The working of their minds seems to be " Russia would inevitably de? prive as of all semblance of self-government ; Tur? key may sometime be forced to execute the paper charter. Tho latter chance is preferable." Tim Servian proverb says, "Under Turkey Bonatime? under Russia never !" It has been currently reported lately that the mis? sionaries of tho American Board in Turkey have been petitkB?Bf Germany and England to hel?) keep Russia out of Turkey. I have the best of <>p|x.rtuni tiesof knowitij* that this is not tho case, and that the suggestion that they are not in sympathy with the aspirations of the Christians here, or would have them kept in bsadSflB in order to pica, h to thcin freely is simply prejiosterous. They claim that th'-ir object is to hem-fit th?? people? not to build up S set t to their own advantage. The people of lite country know them to be constantly engaged in ex-sisim,* Turkish oppression, amito invoking Kuropean public opinion most successfully against wrongs of the Christians in this land, but they also know that the missionaries always preach patience and sabsslBBBSa to the powcts that be. Hence tin* Turkish i.ovcrn ment also, while it dreads the merciless szposaiSS of bad administration and illegal oppression which the missionaries arc constantly making, knows well tluit the missionaries do not Beak its overthrow or med? dle iu politics in any way whatever. Ihe BuigariaB ?'eli?*f Commit Ice of this city is bardal work. As private relieving agencies bare conic in to hcln? the City of Manchester, Lady Strangford, and Mr. Mackenzii?the principle of mii tual consultation and division of territory has been adopted so as to reach tbe greatest number with promptness and efficiency BB well as economy.
