The Essiern correspondence recapitulates England's
reasons tor refusing to assent to the lletlin memorandum
and other matters, the substance ol which Is already
known. The despatch from Mr. Adams, the first Secretary
of the British Legation at Paris to Karl Derby, dated
the 22d ol May, recounts a conversation with tho Duke
Decnzes, the French Minister ot Foreign Affairs, in
which ihe latter said he bad declined to accede immediately
to the Russian proposition; that, as England

other Powers should proceed without her to urgo the

the French Minister to Englund, had communicated a
letter, in which the Duke Decays said he could not ;
conceal h>s apprehensions caused by England's refusal,
In consequence of which the I'orto would probably refuse

thought the only course would be a conference, but be
would not propose this unless previously assured that

England would not dissuade the Porto Irom accepting

these proposals, though presented by the
three Northern Powers, wero the work of the

to obtain tbo submission of the insurgents. Russia
was unquestionably able lo do this, because of her Immense
influence with the insurgents. Mclcgari was (

the insurrection and bad no ambitious viewa
Sir Augustus Paget replied that, as England objected to
the Berlin plan, It was impossible for her to do more
than advise Turkey to follow the course most consistent
with her own Interests.
A NKW SYSTEM OF DIPLOMACY.
Sir Augustus added that the Northern courts had in- 1
vented a totally new system or diplomacy. They drew
tin their measures to?rthcr without the least cousulta

tlio-c other Powers by telegraph to accept or bo

On tlio 30ih of May Count Schouvalolf, tho Russian

On the 1st of July Count ScbouvalotT asked Earl
Derby whether England intended to observe a strict

The Timet this morning, reviewing the differences between
England and Russia manifested by the Eastern

was adopted by England obviously
because of a rooted indisposition to Intervene; but it Is
difficult to believe Russia had any other molivo for

FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT.
Washington, July 21, 187ft,
THE ROBESON IMPEACHMENT A SUBJECT OF
POLITICAL INTRIGUE?POSITION OF MB.
GLOVER.
Tho proposition to demand the itn]>cuchmeiit of
Secretary Kobesou sucms to have become the subject ot
what looks like un unworthy intriguo. It is nnJerklootl
that Mr. (Haver, chairman of the Keel Estate
pool Committed, believed that lu the.course of the committee's
investigations gufticieut (acts had boon discovered
to demand a report to tho llouso accompanied
by a proposition for impeachment; that sucb a report
wag drawn up and had the consent ol the other democratic
members or the committee; that certain
law points wcro submitted to several members
of tho Judiciary Committee, who prououneod
Ihctn rood, and that thereupon It was determined to
present this report to the House on Wednesday, accompanied
by resolutions of Impeachment. But before
tho appointed time cair.o oilier counsels prevailed.
Several members of tbo Naval Committee opposed tho
proposed action of Mr. Glover, and aftor much dis j
cushion it seems now to ho determined to let the \
charges rest suspended over tho head ot Mr. Itohoson
until next wintor, which means that they aro to he
used as political capital in llie (all campaign,
the Secretary being allowed no opportunity
* o defend himself bcloro a coinputout tribunal.
It is nut yet certain that tins very
unfair plan will be adopted. It is only Just
to Mr. Glover to say that he has strongly opposed it,
and docs so still. He believes that tho evidence before
his committee gravely compromises Mr. Robeson, and,
to believing, lio holds that it ought to be reported to
tho House, in order that it shall have the opportunity
to decide whether, in Its opinion, the Secretary ought to
be impeached, and if so, then to afford him what justice
demands, a speedy trial arid the opportunity, *it he
can, to show his innoconce. Tho other
course ol making no immediate report to
the House or ol making it in sucli a manner as to leave
the House no opportunity of discussing and expressing
lis judgment ol the valuo or bearing of tho cvidenca,
germs lo bo conspicuously untnir and unworthy. It Is
noticed witli surprise hero that several democratic
journals, which havo hitherto denounced Secretary
Kobe son, now denounce Mr. Ulover and appear to detire
to prevant his report coming before the House.
THE EXTRADITION QUESTION?EARL DEKBT'H

A press despatch lrom London yesterday stating
that in the HouSo of Lords K.irl Derby bad said that he
had juat received a communiailon from the I'nitod
States government on the extradition dispute excitcg

It Is believed that Secretary Kisli has not recently communicated

FROM OUR RE.GULAR CORRESPONDENT.
Washixotox, July 21, 18781
A SENSATION ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION ANTICIPATED?ONE
OF THE HARD MONEY MEMBERS
OF THE BANKING AND CURBENCT COMMITTEE
OOES OVEB TO THE ENEMY?A REPORT
IN FAYOR OF A REPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION
CLAUSE PROBABLE?YIKWS OF THE
DISAFFECTED MEMBER.
The sosslon of Congress, whether It lasts s week or
a mouth longer, Is going to wind up with a sensation
on the currency question. The reason ot tins is that
the dead lock in the Banking and Currency Committee
has been broken by a change, or rather n modification,
ol opinion un the part of Mr. Scott Wike, of Illinois,
tfbo has rccoutly intimated to his associates of his
committee that he Is now prepared to votn lor n repeal
of that portion ol the Resumption net
which Axes a dale for resumption. The
Importance of this concession to-the soli money element
ol the House by Mr. Wike will be porceivod
when the following facts are taken into considers
lion:?l no Manning ana currency commuter, comprising
eleven members wbcn all are present, baa been
from the beginning of tbo session divided Into tlvo
hard money men, made up of the laur republican
members and Mr. Wike, and five soft money democrats,
rnado up of all tho real of the committee, except
Mr. Randall Gihaon, whoso duties in connection with
tbo commilteo investigating the Custom House
abuses at New Orleans have kept him away
from Washington and (rotn tbo sessions of
tho comniittco most ot the linto. Frotn week to week
tbo ten other members hare met aud conlerrcd, hut
without other result than to And they were evenly
divided?five for and Ave against repeal. Whoa Mr.
Gibson got back, a lew woeks ago. ha soou pat himself
on the record as in favor of hard money, end the soli
money men were about to give up all hope of doing
onyili'ng In Itirtborance ol their policy, when Mr.
Wike, under the prcssuro of a powerful force brought
to bear upon mm from hie constituency in Illinois,
yielded bis hard money opinions so far as to
consent, If called upon, to vote for repeal to
tho extent Indicated above. This chaugo gives the
repeal men on the committee a majority of one, and as
now constituted the hard money* minority will ho
made up of tho four republ'cans an I Mr. Randall (libson
The change furthermore enables the advocates
of repeal to get the question fairly before the House,
hecau-e, under a modification of the rales made a |
month or so since, the privilege was granted the Bank- 1
log and Currency Committee of reporting at j
any time. Heretofore all resolutions in favor 1
of ri'iaialing tbo Resumption act, or any part i
of It, had cither to go to the foot of the i
calendar, there to ho shelved forovcr, or bo
(brought up for consideration by a suspension of
the rules. This stttpontlon required a two ibirds vote,
a voto the resolution never auccooded in getting aud !
......... vat with tho nrrseut cnmtilevion ol His
House. I!ut w:tb Mr. Wik* gone over in the repeal
side, llie committee may at their next meeting agree la
re(?nrt in favor of repeal or tho dale lor resumption,
and Mr. Cot, the chairman, will report forthwith to the
House at the very drat opportunity, whereupon a majority
roto, wnich the soil money men havo al*aye
shown tbemeclvea pos??s?ed ol in every contest
on the floor of the House, will demand
tho previous question ntid bring the matter to a
conclusion. This, at leant. Is the exportation now, but
with tho assuranro of victory reached to these final |
days ol tho session. It may be that the soft tnoncy men
will h'-sitate to co to the extreme they have advocated
so earnestly when they were conscious tbey were
unable to do anything. The Western inflationists,
however, will push their brethren with all their might
f ir the p rpnw ol reaping the fruits of an Inflation policy
lu the commy elections, and the battle in the House
caunol, therefore, Ihi delayed more than a few days.
Mr. W'he. In the course of an mierviow this even- j
Ing, .admitted the modification of Ills views, and Mid,
in explanation that the pressure brought to bear upon i
him by his constituents was such that, interpreting his |
duly according to the standard of a representative ol 1
the people, he should consider himself hound cilltar to
resign his scat lu Congress or defrr to their wisbea.
The nominating convention meet* In this district
next Wednesday, and ho bad been plied all the week j
with letters and telegrams from hit friends, asking him
recocuua the *'aliments of hi* peoplo. He did |

oot think the question would com* tip abruptly is
Confront, however. The Banking and Currency Committed
would meet a* usual on Monday, but be did not
believe Its members would oiler a report to bo ipade aa
yet on tbe subject of repeal. He thought II was more
likely to be reached un Tuesday, wben it would be attached
as an independent clause to the bill ol Mr.
Hlund, of Missouri, which proposes tbe issue of gold
aud silver certillcates bv the Treasury against deposits
of bullion Tbe trouble here would bo that the repeal
matter uiigbt be ruled out ol order as not germane to
the subject ol the toll. Mr. Wiko went on to
sav thul before the .St. I.ouis Convention met he had
voted with the hard money men, becati-ai he believed
It would he presumption for the democrats iu Congress
to dictate u financial policy to the Convention, but now
that the Convention has done its work and enunciated
a policy which his constituents interpreted as meaning
that Congress should .accede to Hie demands ot ihe
people lor a repeal or inodtiicalion ol tho Resumption
act, be had either to .surrender Ins trust as a representative
ol the people or acquiesce in their demands.
Keen from tho beginning lie had not been a beliover
in the wisdom of cu ieavoring to resume at a fixed
date. As well line hi a physician toll his patient he
would have hi in well oa a certain future day. Hut in
the absence ot any pluu or policy ol resumption be had
been heretofore against doing unytblug with Ihe law
He did not believe the agilaliou ot the question was
going to produce any practical results, hut agitation
had been wished lor and he would not obstruct it.
Owing to the early adjournment of the House to day
and tbe recent date of Mr. W ike's change ol opinion
the mutter wan not generally known .among the members,
but with the reassembling of tbe House on Monday
tbe soil money men will, doubtless, be quick to
press tho advantage they have gained in Mr. Wike'a
altered position iu tho committee and an early and
desperate conflict with Hie Mara money men may on
looked lor before Congress is many days older,
