A DECIDED DLUFP, [By Cable to The Chicago Tribune,) Loxpoy, Feb, 28— 8. m.—Tha appoint- ment of Lord Napier of Magdala as Com- mander-in’Chiof of England’s oxpeditionary forces in cose any expedition should be sont out, is regarded hero as most ominous, THE PIRST ABMY COBPS, of 80,000 mon, is now reported in rendi- ness for {ransportation, and every effort is being made to prepare tho Second Corps. Bir Garnet Wolsley will be Chlef of Btaff, and to-morrow A BERIES OF INSPECTION PABADES will begin at Aldarshot. Even the Liberal nowspapers havo ceased to mako objections to warlike preparations, and, should war be daclared, England will be practically unani. mously in favor of it. All now depends upon Rusaln's moderation. As in the case of tho armiastico negotiations, ENOLAND 18 VERY INDIGNANT at tho mecrecy maintained rolative to the torma of peace, and theso proparations are believed to bemndoto enable tho Govern- ment to instantly veto any of the conditions which interfers with her intcrests. Tho foar that, English holders of Turkish and Egyptian bonds may loso not only the fnter- cat, but principal, of thelr investment has lnrgely contributed to tho present resoluto position of tho Government, WUEN TOUCHED IN IIER POCKET England {8 apt to be moro belligerent than any meroly sentimental consideration could over make ler, Their actusl investments aoro intorests which Englishmen can onsily uuderstand, but, as Austrin is wavering in her opposition to Russia, being inclined to take Dospia and Horzegovina and keep quiet, it is not impoasible that England will contont horself with warliko fuss and threats, and of EVENTUALLY CONCKDING EVERY POINT demanded by Russia, Sho has dono so sov- eral timos during the last year, and may be unablo to adopt a more - independent courso of action now. Nothing definite can bo hoped for until the pesce is signed and the couditions made public.

DERBY's RESIGNATION IUMORED, LoNDON, Feb. 27,1t Is rumered In the lobby of the House of Commons that Lord Derby has resigued fu consequence of lmportant steps re- solved on by the Cabluet. EVANIVE Loxpox, Feb, 27—4:30 p. m,—A member of the Cubinet, answerlug the inquiry, ¢ Has Lord Derby reslgneal” sala: *“Ilalf an hour ago Lord Derby was with me at the Cablnet €oun- cil, and nothing was sald about his resignation.” LOBD NATIZR, of Magdala, Governor of Gibraltar, has arrived here and had s lovg couference with the Duke of Cambridge, Commander-lu-Chict of the forces. ‘The afternoon papers announce promineutly that it Las been decided to employ Lord Napter as Commander-lo:Chiet of any cxpeditlonsry force that may be seot out in case of war, with Maj.-Gen. Wolscley as chief of staff. ENGLAND'S MILITARY S§TRENGTN. Maj.-Gen. 8ir Garuet Wolseley contributes to tho XNinet enth Century an article entitled “Eogland as & Military Powe The follow- fng are his couclusions: At po previous verlod bas England been so strovg in & military scnso 38 now, Were war declared to-morrow about 400,000 dritled men would fall futo lige, 11 rgquired, supported by 373 deld-guns,manued and oflicered by Royal artillery. Thbat number would roughly be wnade up as follows: Btand- lug army at home, 90,000 men; army sod mili- tia reserve, 40,000 wilitla, 85,000; volunteers, 180,000; and the second-class army reserve, 10,000; total, 414,000, Iu thiscalculation | bave put the fizures very low, and have left out aito- gether the 10,000 ycowanry, who -would be avallable for kome scrvice. Ihave not taken luto consideratlon the number of regular troops that would be available for war whea the Medi- terraneau garrisons were furoisbed by the mili- tia. It will thus be seen we could at onco take the fcld with two fully equipped arwy corps of wmore thau 30,000 soldicsy each, loaving a similar forco of regular troops at home as a reserve. When 1 compare the military strength of En- Rland now with what It wasin 1854, ) am as amazed at the conditions of military weakness and helplessness e which we were when we be- gan the Russian war of that yesr as I am at the ignorance of those who sre now croaking over our supposed want of strength and alleged con- sequent inability to fight.' ¢ CHANNEL SQUADRON, loxnox, Feb, 27.—The English Channel squadron bas areived at Malta, CNPOUNDED, Loxpoy, Feb. 26—5. 8. m.~The Standard says: We are cnabled to state that the ru- mors of Lord Derby's resignation are usterly unfounded.” WARLIRE, The Standard in a leading article says: ** Al that s really implied by the selcction of Lord Napler, of Magdala, as Commander-in-Chief, and Sir Garnet Wolscley as his Chief-of-8tall, is that the terms of peace, it unmodified, csnnot Le sanctioned by England. We have been brought face to face with war by the arrogant and aggressise policy of Russia." The Standard publishes another article dis- cussing the probablo landing-places of the Brit- ish furccs near the Sea of Marinora. The writer thinks Bealka Bay the most probable place. ‘This, of courae, 18 mere surmise, but the article shows a very warlike tone. It says: *“The First Army Corps would probably proceed to the seat of war without waiting for tbe Sccond, which is now strenuocusly preparing. It Is pos- slble, of course, that even now we may not have to go to war, Russia may vausc In time before she provokes It.” The morning papers repeat yesterday's an- nouncement of the appoiutment of Lord Navler and Gen. Wolscley, now giving It on authority. ACTIVE PREPANATIONS. The Brigade of Guards bas been rafsed to its war streuggth. There 1s great activity in the brigade, which is completing the arrangements ucvessary for active service. All the maoufac- turlug centres report great activity, Thus, 600 scts of fleld-ambulance fittings and 300 tous of bayonet steel have been ordered in Bheffield. ‘The Woolwich authorities have purchased 500 miles of telegranh wire for use with torpedous, and the material necessary to construct teme porary rallways for the conveyance of stores and mounting heavy guns in sicge works. The War Office has ordered that no soldlers shall be transferred to the reserve until further fostructions. The Duke of Cambridze will specially luspect the recrults st Aldershot Fitday. PEACE PRELIMINARIES. 4 CONTINGENCY. CoNSTANTINOPLE, Fou. 27.—It Is stated that the peace negotlations will occupy another week, unless Kusala Insists upon thelr belog brought toaclose. CONDITIONS, 87. PETERSNUNO, Feb. 27.—Tho Agence Russe says the conditions of peace published in Lon- don nre {naccurate. Rueala has never demand- ed the expulsion of the Mussulman fohabitants of Bulgaria. Bhe hasonly demanded the recall of Turkish ofliclals and troops. Russin does not hand over o portion of Bosnla to Betvia. The quostion of the Strafts Is reserved for the conslderation of Europe. The published ver- slon contains other gross Inaccuracies. MONTENEGRO AND BERVIA. Vienxa, Feb. 27.—A dispatch from Constan- tinople says It appears that Russia and Turkey have agreed upon an increase of territory for Bervia nod Montenegro. The latter acquires the ports of Bpizzia, Antivarf, ana Duleigno, but not Scutarl, Mouteneero will border on Servia, and the Iatter will regaln Old Servia. BESBANADIA. ¢ Panis, Feb, 27,—4, telegram from Bucharest says Austria aud Eftrland oppose the retroces- slon of Bussarabla, and France and Italy support them. It is said that Germany has couuseled Russta to renounce her claims, but Rusala scems determiued to porsist, PALSE. Loxpox, Feb, 28—5 a. m.—A 8t. Petersburg correspondent says the statement that Russia stipulates for the cession of slx {ron.clads and the payment of Turkish bonds fu full to Russian bLolders i cortaluly false. BLOW PROGnESS. CoxsranTiNorLy, Feb. £7.—The pence nego- tintions arc progressiug slowly. The boundar- fes of Bulgaria bave not been fixed, and the question of ludemnity has not been entored upon, ‘I'ne Russian troops have advanced to Zeitin- buruon, 800 yards from s ‘Turkish powder maogazine, A Vieuna dispaten from Constantinoplo maln- tajus that the pause tn tho negotiations is owing to Russia Insisting on the cession of the Turk- 1sh iron-clads and occupation of Constautinople. ‘According to Coustantinople advices, ngland Is prepared to respond to such measurcs by ENTERING TUE BLACK $EA. Germany is endeavoriog to mediate between England and Russia. The task has not been much facilltated by the pubtlcation of the peace conditious. GOVERNOR FOR DULGARIA. A Berlincorrespondent telepraphs that Russla proposes to appoint M, Bolabarofl, a Bulgarian, Goveraor of Bulgaria, subject to the control of the Russian commandant. DOUBTYUL. The meeting of the Confercnce is onco more doubttul, in consequence of the objections of Austria and England to Russia’s proposcd limitations of its progremme, A PHOPOSITION. * Lonboy, Feb, 28—5 a, m,—A V{enna dispatch says the fdea of the reorganization of Bulgeris, to Lo superiutended by au Intervational com- mission, i3 attracting attention, but it is very doubtful whether Russla would msscaot to sny such proposal. TR ROTPTIAN TRIBUTE. A Bt. Petcrsburg special says pothing Is kuown in oflicial circles there of aoy stipula- tion touching the Egyptian tribute. A Berlin dispatch reports that Qermany is preparing to send efght fron-clads to the Medi- terrancan in the event of war. AUSTRIA. ANDRASY'S POLICT. LoxpoN, Fcb. 27.—A Vienus correspondent, who is probably in sympathy with Count An- drassy, says the peace-at-any-price agitators cannot prevent the Uovernment from carrylug tho credit through the delegations snd Reichs- rath, but, if they should succced tn balklug the Goverument’s policy, the overnment will re- sigu. Another correspondent says thereis not much probability that Austria will do more than pro- teat agalust the terms of peace, whatever thelr character may be, Lowboy, Feb. 97,—The Times, in a leading editorial, says the strueglo is between Count Audrassy's policy of malntenance of Austrian fulercsts as herctofore declared, sud tempta- tlons offered by Kussla to counterbalance those ntereats. DESIEES TO ¥AKE A QOOD SHOW. BEaLIN, Feb. 37.—A trustwortby letter from Vieona says as the amount of credit asked by Count Audrassy s only 60,000,000 florins, there 1s no grouud to spprelicud that Couut Ar.drassy mcans Lo wake use of it simply to wobilize the army. The object ol tho vote of credit is rather tbat the Goveroment msy be and bave the ap- pearauce of belug prepared for all emergencics. MORE PACIFIC. Visana, Feb. @0,—1t is fully confirmed that the demand for credit will not be brought be- fore the Chambers. A much more hopeful - pression prevalls to-day.

He sces that the bellef bas gnined strenpth there that the blil will pass in spite of the veto, and that on sccount of that belief the price of silver bulllon Is fucreasing. The argument has been submitted to hin that tho fact secms to foreshadow o continued future rise of silver until it returna to its old nominal value as an equivalent of gold. The President is slowly percelving that he will be In AN EMBARNASSING POSITION if, after the veto, the silver dollar becomes equal to gold. Tle last report, which showed that the value of Lulllon Las risen to 5§ pence, vontributed materially to the Fresident’s embarrassment. INTIMATIONS, . Tothe Westerw Asociated Press. Wasminatoy, D.
