Tho Daily Observer givea exprossion to the universal sentimont as follows: ‘*To put the matter more shortly, & refusal on the part of Russia to conclnde a penco at the present crisls must lead to intervention by England, snd intervention means war." CONTINENTAL JQURNALS tako tho samo viow, aud many, in addition, express & conviction that the attempted me- diation nt the request of only one of the parties at war. is intervention already, and the opinion s freely oxpressed that Russla will reject tho proposition from England. In taking so docided steps England practically nssumes the role of Turkey's ndvocato, aud must, therofore, ex. pect oither to thersby coorco Russia into peace, or to be prepared to fight for hor client it the peace proposals are rejected.

BOLD WORDS, ENOLIST PUBLIO SRXTIMENT URACING ITSKLP FOR wal. : Apesal Dhapatch to The Chlcago Tridume, New Yonrx, Dec. 80.—A London special to the Zimes says:—The war party fu this country is momentarily increasiug fn (nfluence and num- bers. The Russophiles are constantly using thelr efforts toward the organtzation of Liberal Associatious, and aro quite actlve In passiug resvlutious in favor of veace, but the arrogance of Russiatoward the sufferiug Turks, and the estrems colducssdisplaved by Germany, is extremely exasperating to 4he wmajority of Englishmen, The result is a determined fn- crease of the war party, and the geaeral expee- tatlon atb this tmo is that wo will bo brought futo A WAR WITH RUSHA EARLY IN TUE COMING BPUING. Eighty thousand uative troops and 20,000 Engligh regulars have alresdy beon ordered to be fu readivess to mnarch st short notive from Indls for Egypt and Turkey. It is belleved that 60,000 Britlsh troops st Batoum fa alliance with tho Turks, with money and arms to dis- tribute, would ralae s storm which would drive the Husslans out of the Trans-Caucasus as well asout of Armenia. Itis known thas for some time QHEAT STORES OF PROYISIONS AND MUNITIONS OF WAR bave been sccumulating at Malts, from whbich voint could be easlly drawa the sypplies necdsd for tho suvport of an Eoglish army st Coastas- Linople, or a fiect to bar the Dardanclles against Russian ships of war. Thz recent appeal of the Porte to the Great Powers under the treaty of Parls having fatled, England was asked to act as mediator between the two helligerents. Although from the first 8 part of our people have reviled the Turks and anolher part have ' Inveighed agatnst the Russians, our Govcrnment has not committed it- 8clf by hostlle swards or acts against either,andit was thought nt the Turkish capital that terms or mediatlon prepared by Englund would be ac. ceptable to Russia. “Accordingly a note was tent to the Czar a short time since, couched in firm but respectful tones, hut s yet no reply has been recelved to that important document. In the meantime certain well defined British tn- teresta which have been touched upon by the war WILL BE DECIDED BY TIIB QUEEN in her speech at the opening of Parlizment.

Dinaich to Loaden Timee, Vimuxa, Dec, 13, ~Yesterday a debato on for- elen sffalre arose rather unexpectedly in the Austrian Delegation. It wes opened by A, Grocholsk!, & member for Gallels, who was Minlster under Count Hohenwarth, He justi- tfled bis brivging forward the question by the elreumatauce that no Galiclan member was on the Finaucial Committee, and that, thercfor, they had no other opportusity to expreas their views on the subject, He then contrasted the claim of Russia to act as the champlon of free- dom in Turkey on purely humanitarisn grounds with her behavior in Poland, coming to the conclusion that this was & mere pretense, aud that ber real oblect was o other than to tollow the tradf- tional policy of extending ber dominions sud infucnce in the East. This ho deemed a danger o the Mooarcby, as it would lcad to au fnequal- ity of power i the East to the detriment of Austria. Ho did not advlie war for that, byt **Wo are sorry to guther that therets Russia seems disposed to rely on the posstbility of en- R 31, 1877, he did not think that the Imoerial Triple ANt~ ance was in the Intereet of Austria, as it tended to keep the rest of Eutope apart from Austris. It might have helped ta keep Auatria st peace hitherto: but he expressed the fear that she would stiil be dragged into the war, He pro- tested against ony annexation by Austrin, for nothing could compensate for the extension of Russla’s power on anather side. By theseviews :n,u ug‘nlllllne other Galiclan members readily voted he bill, After this speech, Baron Fluck, one of the Klave members, rose to say that there was great exaggeration fn the fear of Panslavism. The Biavs of Austria were tov well aware of the ad- vantszes of heing united to them to have an wish to zo clsewhere, nor did he think it woul, e n great misfortune for Austria if she recelived by annexation oiher Slavs, At these worda several of the members of the Worman Liberal party had their names imme- diately put down, The firat who ruse, Dr, Detmnel, fully shared the views of the firat apeak- er about the designs of Rusela, and strenuous) opposed the fdew of annexation, which could only scrve to Increare the elements {n the Mon- archy, already eo very vanous, Passing then to the general question, e declined to {udze the policy of the Minister before all the docaments were laid sattstied that peace had been vreserved. would say. however, that it might have been parsible, perhaps, altogether to orevent so un- Just & war as the present, If any Power had resolutely written on (ts flag the word “ Jus- tice,” which would have found an echo gh over the worll. He conciuded by asking what the Governiment meant to do aboit Servis, whether it would sllow or prevent her from golug to war, ‘The next speaker, Dr. Suess, gave a sketch of events to prove how unfais the whole proceed- ings were agaiust Turkey, and animadverted on the policy of Austriu, who bad countenanced them. But'it was only now, the realty critical moment had come to show whether the Ministor wvas able to secure the interest of Austro-Hungary, and with them those of civilized Europe. The laat srcnknr. Dr, Sturm, did not think the war could haye been prevented, although more miglhit have been done in this direction by enerzette diplomatic intention without n display of snilitary force. The Triple Alllance, he ‘thoazht, wasa kind of necessity fn view of Austria’s georraphlical position. " He coutd de- tect, however, a certaln ‘unateadiness fo she na- tional policy, and a Jeanlug towards Russia, [n particular, with regard to the ‘preparations for mobilization last summer, it was not altogether clear whether they intended to act for or aguinst Austrla, e therefore demanded to know what, was really meant by Austrian interests, and he hoped that it was not annexation. sount Andrassy, In reply, safd that after the understanding come to in committce, he did not expeet a detate of the kind, and having come late he was not in a position to follow the thread of the discussion, He, therefore, hoped they would not expeet him to enter then into 8 detalied atscussion of all the queations raised, but there.were certaln statements smong those he had_heard which ought to be refated at once. The first was the oft-repeated. saying about his vacillating potiey. e thought'that in general the nullvy of n Minteter ought not to be juuged by o single phrase which had " found fts way {uto the newspapers. The phrase referred to had been inter- preted as if the Government had only a pelicy of opportunity, while he only spoke of such 'a vourze an opposed engagetnent, a« was alined at after the cvents at Salonfea, At that time he lad malutained that there should be an agreement to rult cir- cumstances. As to the feeling of depression which was sald to exist, he hoped to be able to show that [t was quite without canse. Aeain, there hiad been 8 good deal sald both for and ucainst annexation. Without belog very old, he remembered that In former wars which were not £0 close the fear then existing always manifested {tsell in the question, * Which proviuce will Austria lose after this strug. glel” IHe saw with satisfaction that this question had not even been reverted to, and the only apprehension expressed cst Austria for once should gain s provinee. The pulicy which had banished the former anxfety could not, he thought, bo 8o verr oad, Count Ane drassy saw a sign of patrivtic zeal in the re- proach that the policy of the Government had not been decided enough.. He hnfled it with at satlsfaction. * Bitherto, the prevalent ecling had been peace at any price, and the fear of mobilization, which absor! millions withot securing the intercsts of thentonarchy; ¥et now that tnere had been oo mobllzation and no millions spent, and that the intercsts of the monarchy had, nevertheless, been pre- eerved, thera were some who 'j'udged the policy of the Government verse of all this had occurred. He would ask thoee gentlemen to deflne those interests of Austris which had been damuified. What ought the Government to have done or not to have done! _In what way could it hiave preventedthe war{ Dy going to warl If they thought so, lut thein speak out; the question was an open ono. War could be wagea now every bit us well as before, perhaps_under more favorable condi- tions; but the Minlster himself would decline the responsibility for such a step, His aim was Lo sccure the Interests of the monarchy and yet W“r“ friendly relations with all the Powers, fs policy, moreover, had never wavered, and had “remalned consistent st the ine wrhen tha Russians crossed the Dalkans with such ease no less than when thoy suffered reverses: aud it was the same to-day when the Muscuvlte arms were agrain victorious. ‘This policy had been announced both in the Austrian Ieichsrath and in the Hungarian Diet in May laat, in reply to questions about the pol- iy of the Goverument, which was consdous of {ts responsibility, but jooked with confidence futo the future. Its trust arose from the do- cldedly fricudly rejations with sll the Powers, frum the frankness with whicn it bad explatned its policy {n every direction, and from the con- victlon that, when Austrisn intercsts wero at ntake, his Majesty could fuily rely on the devo- tion of his peaple and the patrotism of their representatives; what the Goveroment sald then it clung to now. Tere Couut Andrasey ended, nrnflnlz only for snother opportunity to enter mare fully futo tho subject. And this oppurtunity will he offered tho day after to-morrow, when the Conunittce of the Austrian delezation will hold their pre- ct;!xlnlcl}med meetiug for the discussion of foreign L 8. —— TURKEY.

The occasion was louked furward to with unusual (nterest, as cverybody was anxious to know bow the speech from the throne woull treat the present critical situation of affairs, and whether any allusion wotild be made to the questlon of peace or war, or Infurmation or suggestion uilered to Larlts. ment with reference to this question, as it is generatly supposed the natfonal representatives will bo expected to desl with i1, The ceremony was tixed for 11 o'clock, but sowe delay was ovcusioned by the moditication oftho speecl ut the last moment. The ceree mony attracted from the population no demon- stration such us is usual lu other countries, no surt of procession nor any crowd.

By noun the andicuce had assenibled 1 the grany Lall, which was lined with the Clvle Guad of the Pulave 1o slugle tile, foruing threo sides of & hollow square.

A few Journalista and visitors were the only other Eu- Fopeans present. A few minutes past noon the fold(n;i- duors of the alde-entrance to the hall were thrown open by the chiet master of the ceremonles, Khamil Bey, and the Sul- tan entered, attended by the Palace officlaly, His entrance was announced {n the usual Turk- 1sh fashion by the retatuers at the further end of the hall, “speclaliy employeil on such ocea- slons, utterlng loud crics taken from the hymn which iathe Turkish equivalent for a national authem. The sounds echoing through the spu- tlous hall, one of the finest in the. world, pro- duced a very rrnml effect.
