Prstr, fiept. 27.—Ia the Huneardan Diet to- day,Prime Minister Tisza sald the (iovernment’s poliey consisted now as fornerly in the protec- tlon of thelinterests of the country, without war 1f possible, but at the same tipe In protecting them In every coutlngency; olso in scelog that nothing took place in the East withont the consent of Austria and Hungary, It Servia brole the peace, Austria and Huugary ;muhl not impoede Turkey's action agalnst er, As rogarded tho three Emperors' alliance, that alliance did no exist in the sense that the three Emperors and three Powers had entered into engagements with each other upon the Eastern question, or upon other concrets ques- tlons. The Emporora and thele Governments had only agreed, In the interest of European peace, to proceed in hasmony, but not fn com- mon, on any guestion which mizht arise. They had succceded in this for severnl years, and even now the fact that the war has not become an Eu- ropean one was partly due to thelr amicable re- lations, The three Emperors’ alllance might arain be of service fu maintaining the peace after tho close of the present war. The fact that one of the parties to the siliance hod enter- ed upon war contrary to the vicws of the two others threw no responsibllity upon those oth- ers,—particularly not on Austria. He denfed that the Government wished the dismember- meat of Turkey. & In answer to a question relative to the Salz- burg interview, Tisza said that Austria’s rcla- tions with Germany remainod very good, asthicy Lisd been for a long time. ‘The most notable point in Minister Tlsza's speech Is the fodependent position which he claims for the Austro-Hungarian Government relative to the scttlement at the con- cluslon of the war. Ho twice referred to this subject. He sald: “On our side it hna been doclared from the beginning that whatever the fesue of the war may be, nothing shall be dong of which we dlsspprove.” GENERAL, .

TUE CHANNKL DISASTRE The London papers‘of Thursday, Bept. 10, furnish us wilh the following detalls of the ter- rible collision off Portland on the 12th Inst,: * A colllsion'in the Chanuel, the ks of which bas not happened on this part of the cuast for many years, occurreid last night some ten or twelve miles off Portland. The particulars of the disaster, so far as I am able tu gather them, are us follows: It scoms that two large full- rl;‘ghl ships left London,—thic ong, & passenger ship, on Baturday, und the other, in ballast, on Bunday, When off Portland they camue into collislon, and_both foundered, about 100 lives beInF lost. The name of the flrst ship is the Avalanche, an fron-bullt eraft of 1,154 tons reg- ister, of Southampton, Capt. E, Williams, from Londou for Wellington, New Zealand, with about sixty passengers on board, and a crew of thirty-four all told. The other ship is the Foreat, 1,422 tons, from London for Sandy Hook, In bollast, and commanded by Capi. Lockbart. From what 1bearthe Avalauchg came into collision with o foreign bark off Bhcerness, losing some of her meging, but not sustaluing suiliclent dauiago to - necessitate lier olug into port to repalr, us was the caso with the bark. Al went well ufterward, until about 9:30 1ast night, when, as 1 have stated, the col. lislon occurrcd, Tho night was very dark, and the weather thick: but sbout 9 o'clock the fook- out man repurted a ship's llwbt on the port tack., The Captain cxamined his lamps and found thew burniog brightly; but, as the other ship did not seem totake any uotice of them, he thought it desirable to order a ‘flare-up’ to be burncd. The ship at this thno was under very casy safling, and golng Ltween three and four kuots an hour, "The strange craft still contin- ued to bear down upon the Forest, which caused ber sccond oflicer to remark, * That ship is very uear, Captain’s towhich he replied, * I aim afraid there Is uo Jook-out kept.' ‘The man at the heln was fmmediately directed to lutl, and did Bhu Juffed up; "but, being under low cal and in ballast, she pald off azain almost o distelv. A few moments afterward the colliy- fou occurred, the Yorest striking the Avalanche smidships. Bo violent wus the shock that in two minutes the Iatter went down, with the whole of the passengers aud crew, excepting the ‘Third Mate and two scamen, ‘The scene at the wowent of the sceident I8 descrived ug heartrending, Many of the passengers rushed ondeck ouly to flud themsclves in the water, while numbers were drowned In the cabins. darkncss was so dense that it was shinost k. }m-lhlawdhllnquuh the persons struggling for thelr livess but the crica for asslstance were heard $u oll dircctions,—the volces of uen wnd women tmploring the ald 18 was linposaible to render, ‘The recolloctiou of the scenvs makes the few survivors almost dread to tatk of it. They eay that within five or ten minutes after the passenger-ship was struck all eries for assistanice were hushed. As soun as the Brst excltemunt of the scene had passed away the Captatn of the Foreat dirccted his otticers to zeport the state of his veescl. They returnod with the fearful news that the water was then nearly up to the between decks, mnklni it Lin- ossible for hor toremain lone atloat. The thres hosts ou board hie ordered to be Ianached, at the same time telllog the crew—twenty-one in number—to save themselves as best they could, Two buats havlog been lauuched, the First Mate aud scversl uen got lute one. They begeed the Captain t0 leave, ns the boat was partly flled with water, and, owing to the violence of the sen, could not by kept alonzside, e walt- ed till bie bad seen the third boat launched, sud then got fute the weather buat. Ou pulling away from the ship he looked about for the other buats, but could not see them. All nlght his craft was tossed about at the merey of wlud and sen, both of which were very rough, the oe- cupauts never cxpecting to see daybreak. Even after tbe boat had left the ship u wan was sceu trying to save blwself by clingluir to 1hewuchor, but It was hnpossiple to save hins, Whcnabout U0 yards from the ahip it was also noticed that there were yet some persons ou board. Thcse burned blue-lights, in the hope, no doubt, of at- tracting the boats to come back and take them off 5 but it was Im| ible, aund with sad and achlng hearts the Captain’ and hu crew were compelled to abandon them to their fate. They kopt sight of the vessel for sewe time, when a o3 Eibune, he)\yry rain sct tn, and they did notsee her again. “The third mate of tha Avalanche, John Sherrington, was In his bunk at the time the collision occurred.

As it was impossible to recive the whale of them on bosrd the fishing-boat, rignals were tnade to shore for another, which cime out at yery great risk. Happily, the iwo boats succeened lu taking the twelve on board, but even then the dauger was pol over, 23 the sca was breaking with tre- mendous fury on the beach, and, with auy other craft than that used by the Portland fish- ermen, it would have becn impossible W hiave effected a landing In safety.
