[BT CABLE TO TBI HERALD. ]
London, April 11, 1878.
The pacific and argumentative tone of the Rub
elan reply to Lord Salisbury's circular la recog
nized witti satisfaction by the London morning pa
pers as Indicating the purpose and giving the hope
ol finding an arrangement by negotiation.
Al'flTKIA SATISFIED.
The Daily TelwapMa Vienna despatch says
Austria seems to consider Prince CortschakoiTa
answer satisfactory, and thinks England can exact
no further assurance than therein contained pre
vious to the Congress.
A CONGRESS ALONE CAN SETTLE IT.
The Time*, while doing Justice to the spirit by
Which It presumes Prince Gortschakoil's argument*
arc dictated, maintains that, whatever their value,
a Congress of the Powers aloue is competent to
determlue their validity. It says:?"It Is not for
this country nor Austria to decide the matter from
Its own point or view, and still less is tills the
province ol Russia. Probably every Power could
make out a strong caso for its own interests, but
no Power is adequate to Judge of the manner in
which other lnteiests are anected, and we claim
that both Lord Salisbury's and Prince Gortscha
kou's circular oliould be submitted to the Judgment
ol En rope."
TIIE HORIZON AGAIN OVERCAST.
The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Times
telegraphs as follows"The horizon Is again
overcast Tlie change is attributed to the
seeches made in the British Parliament, to
the consequent alteration In the attitude of the
Austrtau Cabinet and the apparent hesitation of
Germany to act as mediator. It is believed in offi
cial circles that some of Lord Salisbury's remarks
on Monday indicate an Intention of going to war."
WILL ENGLAND TJtKAT SEPARATELY?
The Aye nee Ilvxse states that a chort circular ac
companying Prince Gortacliakoirs reply Invites
England to formulate her proposals. Tho Times'
Vienna correspondent remarks that this seems to
point to an Intention oi trying to come to a sep
arate understanding with England, aa was at
tempted with Austria.
TUE rowKUS AGREE WITH ENGLAND.
The Berlin correspondent of the Timet says the
attempts at mediation seem to have made it prob
sbie that the l'owers will only consent to partici
pate in the revision of ihe Treaty of San stefano on
the same condition as demanded by England.
llOSMA FKOM1SEU TO SKRVIA.
The Berlin Post says Austrian agent) have In
formed their government that Russia has promised
Rosnla to Scrvla in the event of the renewal of
hostilities. This news has produced a bud lmpres
aion at Vienna.
VIEWS OP Till VIENNA PRESS.
The Vienna PrvmdenUaU says:?'?Peace can
only be maintained by Itussia modifying the Treaty
of San stclano in conjunction with the otner
Powers." The I'reiwe, of the same city, considers
that England has already gained a moral victory
ANXIETY IN LONDON.
Though It Is generally considered In London that
the debate In Parliament on the address thanking
the guecn lor calling out the reserves has placed
the government's policy In a clearer light, Lord
Derby's statement concerning the secret de
terminations ot too Cabinet, which led him to
resign, Is the subject or much anxious curiosity.
It Is reported in the dubs that they are connected
with orders already sent to Admiral Hornby, which
arc contingent on Russian movements near Con
stantinople.
ENGLAND ENOAOINO TRANSPORTS.
A Berlin special to the ?tCJ says, In spite ol de
nluls, four ol the tlnest steamers of the Hamburg
American Pucket Line have been engaged by the
British aovernmcnt.
RUSSIAN PRECAUTIONS.
Russian oitlclals of rank at Bucharest declare
that ihey lully expect the Kngllsh fleet to succeed
In lorcmg its way Into the lilaek .Sea in the event
of war. Hence their cflorts to lucrease the facili
ties lor land transiwrt over lines not accessible to
interruption irom the ilect, and as far distant as
possible from the Austrian irontler. They have
tukeu measures lor constructing a military railroad
between Bolgrad. on the newly completed Hender
anil Galat/. line, and Ismail, und also a short lino
connecting lteue with the wharves on the Danube.
PREPARING KOR AtOTRIA.
A special des|>atch from Bucharest to the I'ohtical
Vorrt*powU*nc* of Vienna reports that on Monday
the advnnce guard* 01 the Seventh and Kleventh
lliisslitu Army corps began to cross irom Rustcliuk
to Oiurgevo, In order to occupy the line irom utur
gevoto Uucharest :hc Iloumanlan government,
in oMer to avoid alarming the public, dcules that
the occupation has commenced, but It nevertheless
Is au undoubted facL
SKCIKIVU POSITIONS.
Russian troops, especially artillery, havo ar
lived at various places on the Itoumanlan bank of
the Danulte. 'I hey have entered 1 ratesu and com
mand the rullway station at filurgevo. They 1 ave
also occupied uiiportaut positions oa the NyasLiov
Klver.
LAYARD (HETEMAIINO RtSSIA.
A special despatch to the Vioun-i Pot I Ileal Conr?
sjHMKlrncr lr?m Constautlnople states that Mr
Lsysrrt has succeeded In paralyzing lor the pres
ident Russia's endeavors to obtain the friendship of
the Porte, in view ol tho hourly increasing ten
sion ot Anglo-Russian relations the greatest im
portance Is attached to a long interview Mr.
Layard had on Monday with Rcouf Pacha and
Osmati Pacha, who are paramount In 'ulliUry
affairs. ?
NICHOLAS 18 PEREMPTORY.
A special despatch dated Constantinople,
Wednesday, states that the (irand Duke Nicholas
continues to demand the forts on the t'pper Hos
phorus General Nelidotr will have an Intorvlew
with the Sultan on the subject to day. The Grand
Duke has also demauded the Immediate evacuation
of Ratonm In accordance with the treaty, indicat
ing that in tho event of uoo-cotupuauce complica
tions may arise.
A CONTRADICTION.
A special despatch to the Dally AYirs from Con
stantinople sajs it is untrue that the Russians havo
demanded Knvak and Rujukdere.
SICKNESS AMONO TilK RUSSIANS.
A despatch Irom Pent states that u.uw Russians
aro sick from San Stefano to Adrianople, nearly
fe'alf of them with typhus, so that the Russian ofll
cers regard their position as very ussatislactory.
THE TIMhV VIEW OP THE DERATE.
The Tiiium sajs that It csnuot bnt share Lord
Hartlngtou's regret thst sir Wilfrid I^wson was
contain with the debate in Parliament with
out going to a divMon od his amendment. '-The
whole discussion," it ??tya, "lias materially tended
to clear up the obscurities or a perilous situation
and it has certainly brought the prospect of peace
Dearer thau belore. But no practical 1 Mere nee
can be drawn from the fact that sixty-tour members
of the House of Commons think that the present
Juncture is uot a great emergency, while It Is pos
sible a good many erroneous and mischievous con
clusions will be drawn lrom it both at homo and
abroad."
BAD EFFECT ABROAD.
The debate has not had the same reassuring ef
fect abroad, though the judgment founded on the
telegraphic summaries thereof may he reversed on
the receipt ol the full text of the speeches.
DISAPPROVAL AT VIENNA.
The speeches of Lords Beaconsileld and Salisbury
are thought at Vienna to point to the probability of
war and to hold out small hope of a congress, which
is there believed to be the only possible way of
reaching a pacific solution. This supposed attitude
of England is not approved at Vienna, because the
Austrian government has made no provision lor the
eventuality of a Until failure of the Congress project.
It is said, however, that when the necessity of de
ciding is forced on Count Andrassy lie will un
doubtedly resist Russia's demands and make an
alliance with England, provided he can carry the
Court party with liim.
UUHIMY PROSPECT FOB ROL'MANIA.
With this contingency in view Uussiahas taken a
firm grip on Koumanht, and should the govern
ment attempt to resist her will the country would
nnd itself in a most embarrassing position. 1 here
fore, It is by no means certain that the final policy
ol Iloumauia will coincide fully with the present
manifestations of popular feeling. Should the war
be confined to England and Russia Koumunla can
manage to escapc serious consequences, but should
Austria enter into action the principality cannot
avoid being crushed almost irreparably between
the contending forces, no matter which belligerent
she chooses as an ally.
CORRECTNESS OP HHIKA'S REPORT.
The Roumanian government otllclally reattlrms
the correctness of Prince Qliika's reports ol his in
terviews with Prince Oortsclmkolf when the latter
used threatening language.
KEELING THE PRESSURE.
In consequence of the urgent demands of Russia
M. Cogalniceauo, Roumanian Minister or Foruign
Atfulrs, has asked I'rince Charles to recall M. Hait
euauo, the Roumanian Representative at Vienna.
In the Seuate yesterday Minister Cogalniceano
refused to state what course the government
would take If Russsia demanded the conclusion of
a convention to secure the passage or her troops
M. Stourdza complained that the nbseuce of M.
liratiano, the l'remlcr, prevented the government
iroiu acting, although Russia was commencing her
throatened occupation.
TURKEY CANNOT REMAIN NEUTRAL.
Apropos of the rumored orders sent to Admiral
Hornby, a St. Petersburg letter in Tuesday's Berlin
A"orcMfutuc/ie Zeilung, likely to come from an
authorized source, says"Turkey cannot be per
mitted to remain neutral in an Anglo-Russian war.
If she allies herself with Russia she will have to
give up Constantinople as a pledge of her fidelity ;
ll she sides with England Constantinople, Gallipoli,
Bayukdere and the European shores of the Bos
phorus and the Dardanelles will be occupied by
Russian troops at any risk. Tlie Russian fortifica
tions around Constantinople render the conquest of
the city certain, and Rusvlan torpedoes will soon
teach the English vessels to keep ut a distance, lest
a return to Besika Bay siionld be cut oil" This
letter possibly was the foundation lor the rumors
circulating in the lobDies of the House of Commons
last night that the Russians had made a formal de
mand to occupy Constantinople.
NOTES PROM STAMVOl'L.
According to a despatch from Constantinople the
Khedive of Egypt will visit that city in two weeks
to pay his respects to the Sultan.
The health of Ahmed Vefyk EiTondi, President of
the Turkish Council of Ministers, lis a been re-estab
lished.
It ie annoanced that a review of 20,000 Turkish
troops will be held near Constantinople on Thurs
day.
It Is stated that Hobart Pacna has obtained a
short leave of absence for the pnrpose of visiting
England.
