A DECISIVE STEP. TRE ENGLIBH NOTE. {Dy Cable to The Chicago Tridune.] - Loxpox, Jan, 4—4 a. m,—Tho British Cabinet has decided to inform Rusaio that no separato negotiations between the belliger- ents will be aanctioned by Great Britain, and that a statement of the conditions of peaco required by Russia will be regarded as nec- essory beforo any proposal from Turkey for a truco can be made. While THE TONE OF THE NOTE WILL DE COURTZOTH, it cannot fail 4o cause ill-feelings. My in- formant as to the position taken by the ma- jority of tho Cabinet added that the present Ministry would 1ot bo ablo to hold together ton days after tho mecting of Parliament, owing to n wide disagroement among the members should any stops towards war be takon, Meantime a resolution of lack of confidence will be introduced by the Liberals at once. “PUBLICATIONS.

But so lung as Europe upheld the principle that no negotiations could be car- redon hetween the belligerents themselves this privileged position assumed by Russia would cease the moment negotlations began. If, un the contrary, the principle of sennrate ne- rotiations is admitted, an exceptional position is thereby sanctioned, snd & Lecomes only a question how far this exceptional position Is to extend. TIIR PIRW OROUND 18 ABANDONED, and In spitc of all rescrvations the Powers have fiven up thelr right of particivating In the eset- tlement of the question. Tho disinclination shown by the Britlsh Government to encourage scparate negotiations is sn {ndication that It was aware of the Importance of the principle at stake. 8till, s the principle, which isa Furo- pean one and could only acquire validity by the Joint will of all or at feast nost ot the Powers, has been abandoned by alt except England, there renains but the alternutive for Englaud either to dispute, single-handed, the ¢lalm of Tiussin, or to follow the example of the other Powers and make rescrvations on paper or secure guarantecs. We hear from 8t. Pe- teraburz that the intercourse between Prince Gortechinkofl, the Russian Forelgn Secretary, and Lord Loftus, Britlsh Ambassador, on this matter lias been of the most friendly character, nand the telegraphic reply sent from 8t. Peters- Lurg was drawn up jointly by them. As for all reports that the Porte has already come to the resolution of accepting an armlistice {n principle they scem to Le premature.

C., Jan. 8.—The application for the pardon of the two firms of Roelic, Junker & Co. and Ford & Ollver, of the first batch Chicago Whisky Ring, has been advanced one stage. The prospect is that there will ben speedy decision, favorable or otlerwlse, but what that decision will becannot yet be de- termined. The new apolication arises In this wauner: An soplication for pardon has been pending since the fallurc of the attemptsto secure the dismisaal of the suits agalnst these parties. The moving cause in the present ap- plication, outsida of the legal argument that bLas been submitted to the Attorncy General, fs the recomimendation in writing THAT THESE FIRL4S IR PARDOXED, and be relicved from the obiigations that may arise out of tiy pending prusccutions. This letter has uttracted much attentlon, and {s to- morrow to recelve the further consideration of the Attorney-General and the firet considers- tlon of the Secretury of the Treasury. The letter Is snid to have been written voluntarily by Judge Blodgett. It recommends the com- plete pardon of these firms. Tho text of this letter thus far las been ganrded with special care, but the fricnds of Judge Blodgett say that there Is nothing fn It which he will not be proud to have written or ultimately to have published. Nevertheless, fur reasons which no- body makes public save in the gencral way that itis not the business of the publle .to know what the servants of the public are dolng, the text of the letter i3 CONCEALED AND wiTduntn, From an authoritative sourcc, however, tho en- tiro substance of the letter can be given. It isobout fve letter pages long. It recltes st lepgth the full history of the Chleago Whisky-Riniz selzures oud litigotion, men- tions' the . vardons that have been grauted and the effcet of them, and scts forth the alleged contract of immunity, The Jetter proceeds upon the assumption that these parties made u contract for fmmunity with the Gouvernment substantially Iu ths manner In which they have clatimed for themselves; that ft was 8 contract for civil as well as for crimnal immunity; that the partles n question PULFILLED THEIR PART OF THE CONTRACT, aud as tho letter states have Leen fatthful friends to the Government cver since, Judge Blodgett recommends that the heavy haod of the Government - bu tauken off; that they be granted the Immuuity which both Le and the partics in question clalm the Government agreed to give them, and that a full and entire pardon be granted, That is the olrit of the letter, althourh it is not claimed that any portion of the text of the letter is given. This letter was scut hero recently, SIUNED BY JUDOK BLODOGETT, and indorsed by Kepresentatives Brentano and Carter Harrison, atl of whom are sald to have approved of the recommendations of Jud{u Hlodgett.
