Admirsl Boutakoff, that it was the desire of the President that the Russlan vessels should not Jonger remaln 1 American waters, and that the State Department preferred 1o make this in- timation privately, hopine that it migit thus be spared the necessity of making the request offi- cislly and formally from the State Department.

Loxpox, May 18.~Five . vessels . are Joading. Wi of 100,000 trained that in the approaching hostilities, as in former campaigns. between Russia and Turkey, the principal theatre of war will lie in Europe, and ot in Aslae. In the presence of the patriot- c.. enthusiasm which animates the whole Mohammedan population from the Black & to the Danube, and . Sea n: from the Nile to the Altai Mountains, Russia will, the Newe Freie Presse holds, hardly dare to penetrate far into the districts where Moham- medanism reigns. The savae trides of Central Asia would pour northward like an avalanche, and sweep away the Empire which it bas taken Russia a century to establish on theshoresof the ‘aspian and the Sea of Aral. Morcover, it would e no light watter to maiutain a large Arg; in_ the feld in tbe neighbor- hood of the Cuucasus. The resources of the county itself would only suflice fur the sub- gistence of & comparatively small force. Not only ammunition, arms, clothiog, medicine, ete., have to be sent from Russis, but the pro- visions would also bave to be forwarded from Europe. There are, it is true, two lines of railway which might be utilized for the pur- osc,—tLe line, namnely, from Moscow runiing rhruuzh Teberkask, Stavropol to ‘Viadikankas, and e Poti-Kutais-Tifis route. The first of these lines, however, stops short ou the. hither side of the main chain of the Caucesian mountains, so that all supplies brougat by it wonld have to be transported in wagous for same ninety miles, over passes 8,000 ‘feet above the level of the sea, to Tiflis, and thence be further carried over a hilly country, traversed only by rcads bardly worthy of the name, to the sccne of operations, while the Poti-Tiflis ling would only be available in the event of Russia having the cominand of the BlackSea. This, however, is notoriously not the case at present; therefore the Neue Kreis Presse is of opinion that, both from nilitary and political considerations, Russia will on the preseut occasion put forward ler preatest stren on the Europcan and not on the Asiatic theatre of war. She may, neverthe- less. develop suflicicut strength in the lauter quarter to enable ber to annex territory which may serve herasa base for future operations when a tavorable chance may occur. SESSATIONAL STORIES FROM WASHINGTON. Disowich to Cincianati Enquirer. . WasHINGTON, D. C., May 13.—The informa- tion beretofore sent in these dispatches concern- ing the situation in Europe, based upon state- ments made to your correspondent by eminent diplomatic guthoriiy, is verified with' singular flc&lity by London dispatebes to-day. The mo- hilization of the Ajgio-Indian forces has been going on quictly for some time; but all diszuises are now thrown off, and it has been semi-ofti- cialty publiskedin London that the entire Mo- haminedan contingent -in Hindustan is ready for foreigm service. - This mesns that the entire Sepoy -torce of the Bombay Presidency, to- gether with the Sikb forces in'the Punjaub and Sciude, are ready to move northward _into the newly-conquest ussian possessions in Turkestan, or be transferred by sea to Asia Minor. This is the most sig- niticaat indieation -of England’s in- tention that bas yet transpired; and the same diplomatic authority wheace the previous infor- mation in these dispatches has been derived £ays that -the selection of Mobammedan troops sedely for this eervice proves conclusively that Eneland intends to appear in the conflict: in the Asiatic. role of @ great Mohammedan Power. He says the Mussuimans - in Hindustan pumber aboat 56,000,000, and occupy & middle ground of power between the nglish and the Hindus. The Anglo-Indian army, according to latest returns contains about 235,000 troops, of which something Hke 120,000 ere available in the present contlict. The remainder is mede up of Sepoys of the Bengal and Madras Presi- dencies, who are mainly Brahmios in religion, and will not be used in this war. But the Mohammesan troops are _iofinitely su- perior to the Hindus or Brahmius, both in couragg and eapacity to endure the hardships of campaigning in more northern climates. My inforiuant states that he has not the slightest doubt of Disraeli's intention to briug on a crisis in the relations with Russis at once, and say Bugland is now ready to occupy Constautinople 45,000 or 50,000 British, aud throw upward East Indian troops into Asia Minor on very snort notice. The same sathoriry makes some curious as- sertions as to Russian intrigues 1n this country. Iie 'mentioned the violent Russian tone of the New York Herald and Zimes, and then added: “The tone of the Herald is not iuspired by any - sympathy with the Russians as ggainst the Turks, but is designed to promote an anti-British feeling in this country, in porsuauce of a Russian intrizue which bas for its object nothing less tisn to bring_about a rupture between Great: Britain and the United States io the cvent of hostflitics between Russia and the former Power. 1 pre- dict most_confidently,” said be, in conclusion, “thut,within thirty days after the declaration of war between England and Russia, these same journals will be advocating the seizure of Canada Ly the United States, T'o promote and encourage this intrigue hias been the business of the Grand Dukes during their stay in this country, and the Russian Minister, Shishkin, has been domg what you Americans call the leg-work of the job.”” Lhis statement is given ovut from Eo- plish sources in this city, and comes from the ian who is spedially delesated by the British Government to watch Russian intrigues in this country. RUSSIA IN ASIA. WILL OER OPERATIONS TIERE AFFECT GREAT BRITAINT _ZLondon Times, May 5. ‘While we are waiting for important military events on both sides of the Bosphorus, a clear distinction must be drawn between the progress of the Russian troops towards Bulgaris and their victories in Asia Minor. ' The issue of the contest on the Danube may be of the highest importance to the people of that region and to the Porte. 1t may iiberate a population which has endured centuries of insulting and degrading’ servitade, or it may lend 1o grave political aisturbances. This conntry mast wait to sce which 1s to be the result before it can fairly distribute its sympathies. - On the "one hand, it woumld be irrational to sympathize with a Government which has wasted the most fertile portions of ‘Europe, made taxation little better than legal- ized pillage, and spread over the Continent that_ cloud of dsnger which at last seems about to break. On the other land,.we. must see the precise' designs of Russia more clearly before we can wisk well to ner ormies. 1f she should be content to frce the subject populatiuns of the Porte from a de- testable tyranny, witbout seeking any sclflsh auvantages, the rouzuness of ber metiods mav beoverlooked. _If she should aim at conquest, she will have to count -with countries which have & stake of the very higoest jmportance fu the neizhborhood of ~ the Danube. _ Austria is ove of those Powers; Eugilsnd i3 not. So lonz as the contest ‘does not come within a certain distance of Con- stantinople, we can have no other Interest in toe struggle than that which we must have in every great war, every battle arainst misrule, and every new distribution of political author- ity. W shall bave precisely the same kind of interest s we had. in - the Franco- German war, with tois difference that we ehall run less risk. There are peaple who {fancy, ivis true, that Lonstanunople must be in danger if Russia shoald cross tie Danube. They bave a Constantinuple of their own, nut 10 be found in_maps, and Independent of geo- graphical conditions. They are affeeted by the of Constantinople in much the eune way as the old woman who at- tended Whitefield's ministrations was by that ‘“blessed . word, Mesoputamla.” But the*more ‘rational Histizators of panie are be- rinning to admit that the Bospboras is safe against any attacs which Russia can make dur- .ing the présent war and in tuc present state of Europe. They do not pretend that she would ke so rash as to_defy a league of all the Western Powers. What they andanpate is, that new political . arrangements would render it.possible for her to grasp the prize in some kypotnetical futare waich elues the most in- tiepld attempts at definition Thus the sug- gestlon 1s, that this country should spend, per- ‘Lias, £200.000,000, waste ¥ .=h lives by hun- dreds of thonsands, and ca W .e Continent into greatest war. which tue world bas seen sipce the French Revolution, lest in. some chimsras of.a fevered imagination, we. should quickly have to declare war against every conntry in Europe. 3 Bubry'.ba case fis somewhat different on the .Asiatic side of the Bosphorus, where this ~country and Russia are the only European Powers which bave any con- siderable interests at stake. France, it is true, woula certainly mot be disposed to let Syria pass into the Leeping of au; Euru;m.n State; but, since such a conquest as_much out of the ‘question as the annexation of Japan, we may dismiss France from view. The Rus- sians suppose, we darc say, that they have much 10 gain in Asia Minor; aud we have something olose. They would, perhaps, be elad to ob- taln some_more ports on the south side of the Black Sea, and some inland towns, We &ball sssame for 8 moment the truth of the supposition that they wonld like to have the means of making, at some future time, a railway from the Black Sea to the Persinn That is the very boldest object of Guil. ich they arc accused; and, 08 they Fave slreads oceupied: Bayazid, a small forti- short distance from. thelr fi lace 2 o|$dn trgm:icr, it may be thought that the work upation has been begun. But let us 3!‘&?:; u%derstand in the firstnstance what kind of injury they would fnilict ou the interests of this ~country. ft is wildly gaid that they would bar the way to” Indin. But, happily, that assertion can Dbe answered by an appeal to somcthing better than vasue riietoric, for, less than Tive years ago, this very subject underwent a searching investiga- tiott by a Select Committee, of which the pres- ent Chancellor of the Exchequer was the Chair- man, The question before it was, whether England should supply funds to construct & milgw.ny through the Eupbrates or the Tigris Valley, with a view to providing a shorter snd olternative route to India. Much weight was naturally given to military siderations, and among .the witnesses were Sir Heary Rawlinson and Lord Sandhurst. The Tormer of these two authorit’es will certainly ot be suspected of any trust in the good inten- tions of Russia, for his book on her conguests in Central Asia is the arsenal of those siarmists who predict a Muscovite: in- vosion of Indis, although he himself is not responsible for the use to which they put his arcumentative weapons. ~ Sir Heory was asked by the Committes what would be the strategical value to England of a Euphrates Railway, and we invite the public to_consider the sienificance of his answer. He replied that, 8s 3 means of guarding Ind’a from a Russian in- vasion, such a railivay would Lave no strategical value whatever,since it did not come within 1,200 miles of the thieatened line of aitack. 'That line, headded; stretched from the southeast corner, of the dasphm towards Herat and the Indus. It may be said that Russia could use a railway through the Euphrates ur the Tigris Valley for, the iramsport of her troops to ¢ Persian Gulf. Bat, meanwhile, we should command the sea, and be able to close the oeck of the galf so tightly as to make such an enterprise hothing better than an attempt to court destruction. As Lord Sandhurst and Sir Henry Rawlinson pointed out, the value of the route by the Suez Canal depends on our con- mand of the ‘sea at both ends of the pas- sawe, and the very power whith cnables us tobold the Red Sea and the Mediterranean tor our own purposes would equalli cuable us to defeat any designs of Russia by holding the Persian Gulf. No dream could be wilder than® the idea that Russia could find a way to India by the Euphrates when our ships could sccurely wait 1or her soldiers. Nor do the alarmists con- sider the easc with which we could prevent the Russlans from making such a line of communica- tion by oecugying the port which must he the terminus. Nor, again, do they bear jnnind ghe enormons expense and time which would beTe- gu!ml to carry & lipe of rgilway from the Black ea to the Persian Gull. Tue Select Committee estimated that the work would cost £10,000.- 000. We may safely assume that, even if Russfa bad not incurred the enormous pecuniary expenses of the present war, she would not have been able to make such a railway for. at least twenty years. She would certainly comn- plete ber system of linesin Europe, and even attempt to exccute the long-planned railway tiirough the desert steppes from Orenburg to Tushkend, before she wonld even plan so glgan- tic an enterprise as a line from the Black Sea to the nearest outlet to the Indian Ocean. That she would ever attempt to exe- cute 8 work which would be at the merey of the Euglish navy, whica mighs find no sufficiently gromxblu trade for centuries, and which would e absolutely worthless as a military engine, is 23 - asupposition which taxes the powers of hu- man credulity. Yet it is to guard against so distant, so shadowy, and almost uniutel- ligible a possibility; that this country is invited to array its naval and military power. The alarmists have an flpglrent.ly boundless faith in the ignorance and the credulity of their coun- trymen. They are preaching war on pretexts waich will not bear the test of a statement in . plain English. But the good sense and the patriotism of the public will, we are convinced, defeat tie traders in ignorance and passics, FRANCE. THE PRESS ON THE SITUATION. Paris, May 19.—Republican journals are ar- most exclusively occupied in the discussion of the manifestos of the Republivan Scnators and Deputies. Tney declare Republican Frapce sur- prised but not alurmed, and confdent of the fu- ture. The Journal des Debats demands that the Governmen* consult the country immediately, and thus terminate the erisis. 5 - ‘The Repubsique Francaise says President Mac Mahon’s message allies him personally with this movement. It advises the Republicans to avold bravado ana act calmly. The Constitu- tional and Paris Journal defend Mac)Mabon’s course as perfcetly legal. Thiers has signed the manifesto of the Deputies of the Left. The Marseillaise states that two Deputics have drawn up a proposal for the impeachment of President MacMahon. It is officially announced that Baron Reille, Bonapartist Deputy for Tarn, bas been ap- poiated Under-Secictary for the Interior De- partment. CHANGE IN PREFECTURES. Loxpox, May19.—A correspondent of the Times at Paris, in o dispatch last night, says the agitation is increasing. At this moment decrees revoking the appointment of fifty-six Pre- fects are sigmed and ready to sappear. The Admfnistration falls back into the bands from which universal suffrage snatched it at the last election. If _Buffet and Layrent! do not fizure in the Cab- inet it is only because impressions gathered in- duced hesitation to change the Foreign Minis- ter, and because Fourtou refused to act with two absolutely clerical personages. To Fourtou must be attributed the Havas note protesting beforehand against the ultramontane intrigues. The note proves notbing. The Marshal, aiming at dissolution, CANNOT DISPENSE WITH THE ULTRAMONTANE VOTES in the Senate. Heis kenceforth their captive. Everybody is firmlv convinced that the new elections will protest against the Marshal’sacts.

MEXICO. THE POOR GRIST OF THE SENSATION-MONGERS. Z &Special Dispatch éo The Tribune. New Yors, May 19.—Lerdo, ex-President of Mexico, was intervicwed here yesterday. He de- nied that be was conferring with filibusters in Washington and California, but exoects to be. called back’ by the people, when he wil) return with a sufficient number of followers to assert lis tight to the Presidential chair. His p]a?s lie with his'people, and he is positive they will ery out for him to return. A dispatch from New Orleans says Iglesias, with his secretary, Prerato, and Gen. Pollaccio, who have Ueen holding communication with Gen. Esiobedo, have been summoned to New York by Lerdo. Though denialis made, it iscer- tain they purchased large quantities of powder and ammunition, which has been sent to the {rontier. % The spme dispatch says that privatee advices received by the last steamer report a strong party forniing in Mexico relative to American protection and intervention. The present con- dition of aflnirs is represented as very unset- tled, and leading lana-owners from the North- ern Mexican States are lurgely in - faver of _ anuexation. It s proposed that the United Stazes take the five nortucrn States, and nssume the payment of the Mexican bonded debt, wbich is larsely beld in this country, and upon which no interest has been paid. A usually well-informed Mexican correspond- .ent suys the following will the Diaz Cobinet: Zamacona, Minister of Foreign - Affairs; Gen.

Spectal Dispatca to The Tribuns. WASHINGTON, U, C., May 19.—The fact that Diaz has consented to kave himself declared President by the votes of a Chamber the legal- ity of whichis doubted has created surprise here. The information at the State "De- partment is, .that our _ Minister was upt present when the Mexican .

Zamwacin, who was Secretary of the Treasury under Juarez, and for 2long time Commissioner of the Mexican Claims Com- mission here, is expected to be Diaz's Minister of Foreign Affairs. The theory that our Scc- retary of State is quite willing to tind occasion for determined action with respect to Mexico finds many believers.

DISEASE. § TIB GREAT ENEMY OF THE RUSSIANS, Kew York Times. The Russians will encounter one enemy on the Lower Danube which the most daring courage and the best organization cannot completely conquer,— that is diseass The flat banks on the Ronmanian side of the great river are overflown in the spring. As the .water, retires, thereis a broad streich of quagmires and stagnant pools for miles inextent,— o prolific source of malarial fevers. As the heat increases in the bnrning tummer, ihese marshy Dollows are filled with & bigh, rank grass, so that for miles the eye can see nothing bat broad steppes of waving grass, without a tree or u house. These meadows, however, seem _equally unhealthy with the more swampy plains of spring, and, owing to the putrescent vegetation and the scarcity of pure waser,. sre @ pecaliar nidus. for chol- 2ra and _intestinal discases. - In the campaign of 1828, the Russians are belicved fo liave lost 80,000 men between the Pruth and the Balkans, of whom much the lurger proyortion per- ished from *‘plague,”—which apLears 1o have been a malignant form of typhus; cholera, and typhoid or malarisl fevers. (n 1820, they lost 60,00 men, mainiy from disease, and ont of the wilole army of 100,000 men, thé roturns showed more than 200,000 cases in hospital, or an average of two hosplfal treatments for ech soldier during the year. When the Russian General took Acria- nopte, i bad a mere skeleton of en army, and after tac peace of Adrianople was made, he had but 10,000 to 12,000 men to lead back over the Danube, #0. reduced had Lis forces been by sick- mess. 'In fact, fever and cholera had al- ready defeated bim before the peace, snd bad the Sutan but known the real con- dition of his army, the issue of the wur would bave ‘been_usterly differeat. The great deficiencies of the Muscovite service are tne commissariat and medical stafl, and never were the resuits of these gggc(eaclcnlfl painfally shown as in the war of 23- 1 - In 1 '5, the Russians suffered, but owing to their more limited operut oot on the Danube, not {o the same extent as in the former campaizn. It was o these yeans that the allies felt tne terrible climate of the piains of the Danube and the Do- brudscha. The British and French cawps pear Varna became abodes of pestilence. In the French movement to the Dobrudscha in pursuit of the Kus- sians, who had abandoned the siege of Silistria. the march became a track of death. Cholera destruyed 8 force before it reached the enemy; and toe French had not made many marches before they found that 1t was ull the living could do to take care of the dying and dead. The pursuit soon tumed into a reireat before the ghost- ly encmies of pestilence and fever. The especial cauzes werc eaid to be thebad water, the wels poisoned by carcasses thrown in by the Rusaiane, 1he burning heat of the sun and cold nights, and the muwsema from the lately cubmerged ground. 1n fact; 1f the genius of the allied lea ers had not transferred the war to the comparatively healthy peninsula of the Crimes, the allied expedition to sustain the Ottoman KEwpire would have ended in disaster and diszrace. sos Une of the principal lessons taught by modern military science is that sanitary skill is as impor- tant for military success as strategicul. Our war with the seceding States was finally woa. - not only by superior numbers and stratezy, but by greater sanitary skill. 1t would be dificult to number the thionsanda of able-bodied men saved to the Unlon army by the operstions alone of our sanitary ao- thorities. The care taught by them in_selecting camps, the med cine and noarishing food furnish- verearles,” said one of the most ardent to me to-day, *the Orleanists and the Republicans. They are now flehting furiously, while we Jook on and wait. We can no longer be reproached with sngthing.

THOE CZAR. A QUESTION OF TITLES. New York WWorld. Europe has now three Emperors,—in 1870 had four,—not taking Into account tne Queen of En- gland, whose title of Empress of India properly Delongs to Asia. A quurter of a century ago Lonis Napolgon aud six vears sgo King William assumed the imperial title without oing through the pre- liminary-formality of demanding its recognition by forcign courts. We presume that the'feeling of ‘monarchs on this score Is on the principle enun- clated by Mr. Squeers, that s men bad a right to call his house an Island it he wished to do eo; it was nobody's business but his own. A ceniury and a balf ugo, Lowever, when there was only one Emperor universally recognized in Kurope, the case was very aifferent, and it was not Uil aftera, diplomatic correspondeuce estending over a period of several veara that Peter the Great's cigim to the etyle of Emperor wasgenerally accorded. The claim was intended by him to lead the way to his aseumption of the style and rights of Emperor of the East. ‘The title had been given to one of nis predecessors, however, in Maximilian I.'s dispatch 10 tho Czar Vasaiin 1514, where the 3luscovite govereign was addressed as *‘*Kmiser und Herr- scher aller Russen.” -Peter's predccessors had ‘been addressed by foreign Courts indiscriminately as Grand Duoke, Czar, and Emperor, sometimes byall threa titles, but_very rarely, if ever, as Emperor alone. In English dispatches, from Elizabeth to Anne, the style employed was ++Lord and Emperor,"” though the Czar of Mus- covy was not therefore placed on an equality with the Germon Emperor. On the contrary, Bo was clussed with Asiatic soveieigns, im the samwe category with the Emperor of China. $o Lord Cartaret's dispatch to the English Ambas- sador at Parly, Sir Luke Schaube, says that it had always been the enstum to writo to fhe Czar ** on illushnated vellum, painted and wmlt, as one writes to the Emperor of Morocco and ez aud to many otber non-suropean Princes, who, resting on this custom,” contmues the dispaich, *‘wonld be equally justificd_In ipsisiing on_ the title of Em- per Times have changed since taen!

The Enghsh® Government rendered tais with ac- Ccuracy **Commander.” When, in 1711, Peter claiwed . the title of Emperor, the United Provinces cunsented resdily, as did the King of Prugsia, desirous of a Russian alliance. It was not, however, till 1722 that England and_ France consented to the demund for recognition. Engiand had then used the titles ** Emperor and Hirhness, 4+ nperor and Majes! “imperial ana Czarish " and even **Czarish and lwperial Majes- ty."

Ordinarily, the merchandise will be shipped over whatever road the Gen- ernl Avent may see fit to desicmate, but should the shipper bhave a prefergnce for any particular line his goods will be forward- ed as he may desire. The Grand Trunk - Rail- way, of Canada, has not been taken in. 'Should there be any disposition manifested by the man- agers of tnis line to male lowerrates, it is thought the combined opposition of New Yorg lines will suflicient to prevent it. all existing _contra:ts of the several roads will expire July 1, the agrecement i}m made will not go into” etfect until then. o further contracts will be entered into, as the pouol will necessarily control all rates. After a few months experience under the measure the traffic of New York will be compared with that of Pbiladelphia and Baltinore, and should the comparison prove unfavorable to New York the freight from these cit.es will also be pooled. Tue question of pooling East-bound tonnage has not been taken up, but it i3 understaod there will be further cutting of these rates.

Wayne & Chicago Railroad has completed its arranzements to commence the running of a fast passenger train between here and New York this evenlng. The fast train leaves but thirty minutes ahead of regular time—at 4:45 instead of at 5:15. It will, - however, have to run much faster than the ordivary train in order to reach New York at 10 o'clock p. m., the time when the Wabash train arrives there. None of the Western roads except the Chicago, Burling- ton & Quincy and the Chicago & Alton will change thelr regular time. Il the Western trains, however, will be able to connect withthe fast train of the Pittsburg & Fors Wayne. Nothing has yet been heard from the man- agers’ meeting at Clevelana, and,.from what can be learned, they adjourned without teking any definite sction. The other roads leading from'this city to the East will adhere to the oresent time-table for a waile. Bub how long they will do this depends entire’y on_the effect the action of the Pittsburg & Fort Wayne will have on their business. el "IN MEMORIAM, & The Late Judge Emmons---Meoting of the Hamilton County (0.)
