Loxpon, Dec. 10—4 s. m.—Tho series of Cabinet Gouncils l:clg by tho Queen's Minis. ters is about to bear frnit. Parliament, which had been recently prorogued until Jan. 17, isto moet that day for the dis. patch of business, throe wecks in advance of the usual time. Thoss who felt relief at the first postponement, which is always done gs a matter of form at this time of the year, having feared that n session might be held even before the holi- days, now feel corrcspondingly depressed. Some decisive action ‘has been resolved upon, and the situntion recalls strikingly that of the winter precoding the Crimean war. The tono of the Lopdon press to- morrow will boto the ¢feot that Parliament ia to assomble 7O OIVE BANCTION TO' STEPS ALREADY TAKEN, rather than to consult s to fature . policy. The effort of the Porte to obtain tlo media- tion of other Powers iz s total failure, and Russis is preparing for a second cam- paign. Already orders for the mobiliza. tion of. sixty ndditional bottalions have been ismued, and a general advanco of the Russian armies has begun, Ilence, En- gland must either dosert her old ally alto- gother, or provide sinews of war at once and toke the fleld in her support. From both Russia and Turkey come reports showing the PROBADILITY OF ANOTHER DESPRNATE CAM- PAION, In addition to the proparations above re. ported is the statement that the Czar will rejoin the army Jau, 21, while Turkey sonds out official notice that tho requeat for media- tion must not be rogarded as coming from a defeated nation, as she lias two moro lines of defenses to fall back upon. The offect of an early assembling of Par- liament may bo to still further oncourage the Turks to resist, and embitter Russia against England, in which case little would be needad to create A PRETEXT YOI WAB on one side or the other, Bhould the Brit- ish fleot move up to Gallipoli, Batoum, or Constantinople, no ather proof would be needed of the warlike intentions of the Cabinet. Heavy fighting Ia expected at Etropol, and your correspondent at Bucharest evenreporta it in progress. Erzeroum is likely to bo ovacuated or carriod by mssault in a fow days, . The reported death of Osman Pasha bas proved erroncous, He s recovering. PEACE TALK. ‘TUN PORTR'S CIKCULAR BXPLAINED, CoxsTANTINGFLE, Dec, 18.—Erroncous Inter. pretations buving buen given to the circular of tha Porte Inviting mediation, it is ofilclully ex. plained that Turkey does not spproach the Powers as a vauquished State, since she still hias two lines of defeusc which the Jovernincat clleves sho would be abls tojiold, The Vorte, gy {ts clrcular, desiros to intimate ite willing. ness to conslder the proposals made by the Con- stantinople Confercove. As the war begao ow- ing to Turkey's refusal to adncto to those pro- posals, the Porte thinks it might be terminated oW on that basts. KEEF YOUR MOUTIS FRUT. Lonpox, Dec, 18, —A Bucbarest dispatch saye that Prince Gortschakofl bas fustructed the Russian represcutatives abroad to vbscrve the greatest possible reserve relative to tho condle tious of peace which Hussin wight be disposcd to advance. WAR NOTES, ENQLAND, SERYIA, AND TURKEY. Loxpox, Dec. Tho Tunes’ Counstantino- ple dispatch says: ** England ls fu great dise favor here on account of Servia's treacbery, wluch English fuflucnce In favor of 8cryia ren- derod possible. There s a strong iwpression licre that Epgland wiil opposc the opeulug of tho Dardanelles, which Turkey and probably all tho other Powers are prepared toconcede. It the Turks refuso the concession, i will Lo bo-* cause of the conviction that Evgland will belp them in thelr estremity.” & ADLIB OCCUPIED. Avsxinats, Dec. 18.~Frince Mllan bas ar- rived here, The report is confirmed that the Besvians bave occupied Adlie. The place has been ovacuated by the Turks. MORE HUSSIAX TROOPS CALLED OUT. Loupox, Dec. 10.—A Bucharcat curresponds \ ;‘;lly announce that Farllament will meet Jan. It fs stated that the Cabinet has decided to ask Parilament to vote a° grant of money for such an increase of the Kritish army na the pres- eut state of Europe demands. COMMENTY OF TIB PRESS, ‘The Times deprecutes too much importance being sttached to the carly simmoning of Parllament, and points to numerous inatances in which the Cabinet's actious huve been mis- interpreted, even by thelr own subporters, oy, for fnstance, the sending of tho fleet. to Bestka Bay. If any previous Cabinet had sumimoned Parliament tbus early, the nat- .~ ural inference would bave been that they were | about to demand a grant of money for the sup- port of some sten taken by tho Quecn on thar advice of her Ministers. Tho Timea thinks such a conclusion in thiscase would be far In advanco } of the truth, v Parllament will not meet to enforce tho reso- * lution that has been fortmed by the Minlsters, but more probably to spare the Ministers tho trouble of forming a resolution. Dy the time Parllament meets the Governinent will perbapa beable to show that our interests in some way are attacked, but for the present the country, bowever irritated at Russian ambition and Ser~ vian treason, cannot bellove ftaclt in any dan- ger. v A VIGOROUS I'OLICY PREDICTED. Tho Z’ost in its leading editorlal foreshadows a grant for military preparations, and, after ro- viewing the rumors which have been current of late concerning a ecparate arrangement between Ruesla and Turkev, says: * To make Encland’s words ‘heard, to wmake mediation respected or Intervention effective, 1t {s neccssary to mppeal to the representatives of the nation for requisito support. We cannot entertain thu slightest doubt that Parllament will not only readily accord whatever moneys are nccessary toput the national strength in condition for active officlency, tut will heartily indorso the policy in accordance with the true fntere eat s, permanent peace, and noblest traditions of the country, It Is certaln the Cabinet is unlted in ite resolve, and, with the opening of the new year, we sball wiitess the Inception of aclear and national potiay.” ENGLAND MOST I[AVE A HHAKD IX TIIN PEACE. ‘The Standard iu its leader explajus that tho victory of tuo Russliaus {s not %he canse ot tho summoniog of Yarliament, but the Meense which {s civen to Russia by Germeny and Austrla to usc the victory In her own way. This s what constitutes the danger to British Interests, Englund can never consent to the quarrel belog arranged un these terme. Bhe may even bhave cause fu des mur to a peace made directly Letweeu the bel- ligerents. Bhe claims a volce In tho settlement, and it Is that she moy be preparcd to insist upon that volce that the Government {s adopt- {ng those messures which Parlfament will bo {nyited to sanction. TIIR PAST, NOT TRX FUTURE. ‘The Dally News says it cannot help fearing that Lord Beaconafleld has summoned Parlia- ment rather to obtain Indempity for something actually done than to cousult’it as ton futura policy. DOOTS AND RIORS, ‘Tho Northamptonshire Mcmber of Parlinment telegraphs to tho Western Arorning Ne a aally Journal priuted at Plymouth, that the Govern- ment ls joviting contracts in Nortusmpton for the nrompt mlmly of 800,000 boots and shoes.

Lownpox, Dec. 18,—~The Mark Lane Erpress, roviewing the Britlsh corn (grain) trade, says: #The luppl{ of English wheat in Mark Lano {s again small, and, for dry lots, o ready sale {> experienced, especially for red, at fully late rates.
