[By Cable to The Chicago Triduse.], LoxpoN, Deo. 24—4 a. m.—Germany and Austria have replied, to the Turkish note, that it is not practicable to mediate on tho basis thersin contained. Constantinople tel- egrams state that the Turks would be will. ing to treat with Russia for the froe pas- soge of the Dardanelles wers it mot for England’s opposition, and this, together with the hasty summoning of Parliament, has created a strong impression among the Turks that, at last, England intends to interfera in their behalf, Whatever may be the inten. tionsof the British Cabinet, their action in sssembling Parliament and hastening Iarge military and naval preparations has been re. garded in Constantinaple as meaning war, o O MORR TALX OF PEACE 1a heard thero. Even hero many persons beliave that the time provions to the open- ing of Parliament will be 80 employed as to make war inevitable. I hove from high .suthority that the Queen intends opening Parliament in person, and that, after the trans. seasion was called, an adjournment will take place until Feb. 7or11. This means that monoy i8¢0 be asked for, and Parliament then prorogued for two or three woeks with. out learning how the money is to.be used.

The roads south of the Balkans are good. Winter there docs not much interfere with operstions, and, should So- phia be captured, the advanoo of the Rus- sians to Phillipopolia will be easy and rapid. The Turks would then have no alternative but to concentrata all troops in Roumelia to defend Adrianople. —— WAR TELEGRAMS, ADDITIONAL TIORRORS.

The people, merchants, and peasants he.ve apparentlycome to the bellef that they m a3t surmd more money and more blood in s mother fight with Turkey, and the signal for the oosat has been all but given by Prince }filan. On the 31 some of bhis troops marched out of Belgrade towanls the fontler, and, in a parting specch, he cncournged them to bear the fatigues of ‘the campalgn. He thanked them for thelr hardihood In the contest of last year Te contest whlch, although unsuccessful for she moment, had, he ssid, led to the present war, and thns to a struggle which wouid free the Christlans of the Turkish Empire from the yokeof the Porte. ‘This timé, ho added, he himsel{ wonld sharc in the fatigues of the cam- peign, after the fashiou of tho Czar and the Prince of Roumanis. At the lsst moment Lhere secmod to be some hesitasion, caused, it was thought, by a remonstrance from Austria; but it s belicved that the delay will bo ot no long duratlon, and that the first shots may eoon be fired. This new aggression of of the Bervisu Government wiil be condemned by a Inrge body of ouinfon in Enrope, and ‘will, per call down oflivial remonstrances. Nothling s more casy than to show that for on attsck on Turkey tho Bervians can find uo ex- cure which would bear prescntation in diplo- matio language. Last year the Principality was saved from conquest, and Princo Milan's pow. er from overthrow, only by the futervention of the great Powers, Bo well did they befriend Servia as to save her from all the, penaltics of defeat. Thanks to them, she lost no territory, she hiad to pay no srar indomnity, and her Prince did not even give thut personial token of aub- miasion which was s0 strenuously demanded by Turkish pride. Buroly, then, Servla might show her eense of gratitude by rcmaining quict, ln- stead of tearing up a treaty of peace which Is only 8 twelvemonth old, ‘This might be said, and there could be no reply; but 1o say It would be an Idle form. The Servians would scarcely understand the mean- fug of such a complalnt, and the truth fs that a treaty of pesce between Servia and Turkey has aiways beco, and aiways will be, abont as much to the purpose treaty of peace hetween two wild animals, via would destroy tho Otto- man Empire i{*shc were able, slthough the road to victury were barred by treaties 8 fortnight old. Bhe and Turkey are In a totally different position from States which, after some centuries or years of union, find that they can live %umlv spart. In Europe at least the Ottoman mpire {s not » Btate In the ordinary scnse of the term. It is the rule of an” armed caste, which conquered one county after another, but made Itself at home In none. The common people whom it found hostlle to its dominion and its religion centuries ago It finds equally hostile now. It has united ‘them to itself nelther by laws, nor by common explolts, nor by creed, nor by a literature, nor by tradi- tiuns, Its rule over them has been that of seilitary force, and when its dominfon shall cease, {t wjil not leavo a vestige of {ts existence suve 8 few fortifications.

They are emerging in thelr old compact state, which feclings of uationaliey and religion unimpaired. The history of Jcrvh fllustrates that process She had an inde- pendent exlstence long before the Turks ap- B::red in Europe, and the popular Imagivation not allowed the cxploita of that time to fade oway or lessen, Never did her peonle peace- fully accept the yoke of Turks ‘Throughout this century tha contest has been almoat coare lessly carried on, sometimes by fntrigue, sotmo- timcs by assassivation, and somethnes by open warfarc of the most relent- less character. Kara Guorge snd Milosch are simply the two most prowninent figures in o struggle which enllsted cvery prominent vil- Jager, " Bo fierco were the passions on each slde ‘that 1t was impossible for men of tho twe re- liglooa to Uve side by sidc, and, after the Prin- cipality becamme virtually tndependent, the Ma- homedan landowners bad to quit the country ur take shelter ander the cuusof the gurr’mn towns, Nor did the Servians dream of stop- ping tho strugele even when they had no longer any reason to complain of 'furkish rule, They wanted to bo freed from all connection with the Porte. They wantod to help thoss of their brethren who aro still under the yoke of the Porte. They wauted to become tlis contrs of the Blavonlan Etate which, they beliered, would be formed out of tho ruins of Turkey, They wanted to pay off olil scores ut wrong and” batred.

Spscial Ditpated ta London Times, Paxis, Dec. 7.—What has reslly occurred is this. The Comstitutionalist Senstors met last ‘evéulng, and resolved Dot to support a fresh dissolution, unless vory exceptional circum- stances caused by some excess ou the part of the Chamber. On belng informed of this reso- lution, the Marshal sent for M. Dufsure, who replied that, bofore walting oo bim, ho wished tosubmit to him & memorandum stating the conditions withont whlch be could not sgree to take sny step. This note contaiyed thres cou- ditions: 1, the eutire Hberty as o tho ptaff of sll Departments; 2, tho vote of -the Biate of Blege and Colportage bilis; and 8, 8 messags trom thq Marsbal 1o the Chabers represoating Jight of dissolution, the terms thereof to X subfequently settled. . Refusing these conditions, the Marshal de clared his resolution to resign. M. Batble, on being hastily summoned, dis snaded him from this, and the Due ' Audiffre Pasquier was sintgfor. The Dne spoke onf very frankly and sthéngly. He said neither ne nor his frienis would agree to the schema of ¢ freeh dlssotution, which would plunge France into the horrors of a clvil war, and that were & dissolutlon demanded, he shonld leave his Presle dentisl chalr and speak agaiost ft. He adidcd that the Right-Centre Benators could not enter any Minieterial combination: that the conflict ‘was between the Marahal and the Chamber, and what was necessary was to satisfy rublle opin- fon and the will of ‘the country, and to come ta an underatanding. - After this conversstion, the Marahal, dis. susrled from resiguing, and percelving that sit idea of legal resistauce must be abandoned, and that he had to choose between fliczalit: and conceselon, summoned M. Dufaure, and,. onthe bases of the note, as explained at Iv.-n%h. commissioned him to form n Cabinet. Marshal, however, stipulated thet he was ta have the cholce of the Ministers of War, Ma- rine, and Forelgn Affairs. On this polnt M. Dufaure refused to make nay engazement. On Jeaving the Marshal, he repaired to the Senate, where he conterred with MM, Waddington, Leon 8ay, Tcisscrene de Bort, and De Frey- cinet, who promieed him their co-operation, hut without agreeing to the stipulation es to the" thiree. Minfaters, which cvideutly cannot be accopted. for all the difficulties undes which the Liberal cause sucvumbed arcse from the discordant elements swhich In pruvious Cablnets represented personal rule. In the interest, t00, efen of the Moderates, the Cablnet ought tu be homoganeous, for thus only can it en- force its rcsolutions as exdnnvel( its own, and due to no forelgn tnspiration. After seolng his colleague in the Senate, 3. Dufaura convened 4 nceting at his house this cvening, In onder ta discuss the composition of the Cabinet. M. Du. faure is spoken of as likeiy to be President of the Councll without a portfolio, hia colleagues belni M. Waddington, Leon Say, De Marcare, Berthaut, De Freycinet, Bardoux, Telseerenc do Bort, Jules Ferry, snd Pothau. M. Luon Itenauit refuses oflice, preferrbie to be an fude: pent supporter of ihe Cablnet. Such is the ecxact situation at this hour. To the flrm and patriotic sttitude of the Duc d'Audiffret Pas- quier and the Constitutiouaifst Senators is dug * the Lappy turn things have taken. The defest of the back-stales party, {f 1t Is really defeated, wlill bo due to the honest phalaux “of Parlia- mentarians who obey the political Snspirations of the Orleans Princes, as also to the cuurs- cous firmuces and moderation of the Left Retlectinu on the serlous prospect before us lust night, it {8 to be hop&d that this is av lllumina- tion of the proverb that the darkest moment is nearest the dawn, and that the conspirators who-for seven months haye hcld France fn check for tho benellt of a cliquo whose alm no- body can s and whose flaif nobody acknowl- edges will definitively disappear. LAIRR—TIE MARMIAL DACKS OUT. Bpecial Lisvatch to London fymes. Panis, Dee. 7.~At yoon to-day M. Dufsurs, after having consuited with some af his intend. cd colleagues, repaired to the Marshal tosubmit to him the foliowing list: 3. Dufaure, Justice, Worship, and Presidency of the Council; M. de Marcers, Interior: M. de Banneville, Foreluu . Affalrs; M. Leon Bay, Finance; M. Waddington, Public Instruction; M. de Froycinet, Public Works; 3. Tesserenc de Bort, Commerce; Gen, Gresley, War; Vice-Admiral Pothau, Marine, The Marshal bad sald to M. Dufaure yesters dny, alter demanding the disposal of threo of the portfolios, and at the moment of dis missing him, *After all, it 1s you who art responsible; consequently, I Jeave yor, frre fu the chofvo of your collesgues.*” On seml-official advice, however, M. Dufaure then sppearcd fnclined to ngree to M. da Bavneville rotalning the post of Minister of Forelgn Affatrs. It was only after cooferriug with his colleagues that he decided on substi- tuting 5L Laboulaye for M, do Banneville; but he was much surprised, on repalring to the Marshal, tu Bind that be bad ' agaln changed his opinton. The Marsbul firmly declarcd that it ‘was {mpossiblo for bim to yield as regards tha Minfates of War, Marine, nand Forclgn Affairs, M. Dufaure did Ws utmost to uvercoms this resotution, but, belng unable to do so, ho au-’ nounced his Intention of again, conferring with his colleaguos. At 8 o'clock the Cabiuet in petlo, composed o8 above oxplalned, et n ona of the Buresux of the Bon- ate, M, and Dufsuro ioformed. his . col- leogues of the chaoge which lhad oc- curred In the Marshal's views, and the®per- sistency with which he demanded the disposal of tho three portlulios. After lonidullbem- tlon, all the personages summoned by M. Du- fuare deciued that L' was impossible to conceda this condition, which was they decined contrary tothe aplrit and lctter of the Constitution. The alxth articlo_of the Coustitutiou provides, 1n fact, that tho Minlsters aro jolutly respousic ble for thclr?n:mmll policy, and’ that each Min- {ster is individuaily responsible for the manago- ment of lis Department. The mestin; thought, morcover, that if the future Cabiue 'was not perfectly ‘aomugcneuul. 1% would not have suflicicnt authority to resist demandg which might cmanuto from one party or tho other; for instance, it might oppose der mands from the Left, aud tho latter might dor clare that reslstanco was inspired by tho non- Renublican members introduced into the Cabinot Ly tho Marshal. The ineeting hell, therefore, tflut, Ju the intereat of the satisfactory proares: of public busincss and ofgthe stability of th future Cabluct, as well us offt of respect for th spirit of tho Constitutlon, it was fmpossible te sceept tha conditions laid down by the Marshal On the mecting bLreaking up, M. Dufsure wrote s letter to the Marshal, in which e cxe lained that, conalatently with Art. 6 of th 'uul{llu“un, nelther he nor those whom ho hux selected to act with him could agree to the ine troduction into the Cabinet of threa colleaguca who did not perfectly sbare their views, and who would coustitute o daoger both for the policy aud existence of the Ministry, This let- ter was $0 bo communicated to thy Marshal this evening. It is wot likely that the reply will be known' to-nigl 'Z nor, perhaps, even to-morrow morning. Whal warrants s behef, however, that tho Marshal will oltimately abaudon his unexpected atipulstion ia that some of the moast Influenttal Conatitutionalist Benators have de- clared that, in their view, the resistance of M. Dufaure aud bis collearues is perfectly legite- mate, that it in 1o way burts tho Marabul's sus- ceptibllitics, aua that It caunot be regarded as & condition to which the Marshal canuot submit. ‘This opivion justitles the presutption that tho Marshal, In yiew of the refusal of a second titutionalists, will give way on this polut, unl tndeed, the pernicious fntfuences around bim succeed in vnce murs dos stroylug sn arrangeuicnt to which he had agreed, and which public ovinfon hers bad re- celved with a veritablo and almost unanlmous cnthuslastn, It s not to b supposed, indeed, that the Marebal, after the step taken by hiny yesterday, aud acceptanco of tae couditions subiitted to bim, will insut so tirnly oo bia rr-.-nnt pretensions as to resigu on findiog that t cannot be acveded to. M, Dufsure appears inclined, In the event of the Marbal geclintog to Ellw way, to offer him' tho cholee of the Miuistry of Forelgn Aflairs, it this concession could lead to a compromise.
