TIIE CONGRESS. BOME PRELIMINANY OBSTACLES TO DE OVER- coue, (By Cable to The Chicago Tridune.) Loxpox, March 11—6.0. m.~Gormany s about to issue formal invitations to the other Powers to medt in tho Congross in Berlin, and your Vionna corrospondent fixes March 80 o8 tho date, but it is improbablo that any dato can yet be definitely selected, for tho roason that theroare somo points under dis- cussion amongst the Powers which must bo docided beforo it can bo mtated with cor- tainty that the Congress will maet at all, FOR INSTANGE: England has suggested that Greece be sd- mitted, with the evident intention of pre- sonting tho claims of that nation as the sucoossor of Turkoy at no distant day in the posscaslon of Constantinoplo and the Bos- phorus. * Tur Tnmuxe's Vionnn correspondent far- ther ropresents that a very uncasy foeling pervadea Austria, owing to Count Andrassy's spoech. As telographed yon Saturday, ho dis- avowed tho intentlon of ocoupying Dosnia or Horzogovina, but nsked for a credit of 60,000,000 florina eolely for the purpose of mobilizing tho army at short notice if it should Lo deomed necessary. TNE CHANACTER OF THIS CREDIT noticeably differs from that voted by the Dritieh Parliament, siuco the latter expiros March 81, and the unexpended balance, if thero is any, must thon be covered ianto tho Tressury. Tho Austrian crodit, however, is for tho purpose of croating n military reservo fund to bo kopt ready for use at any moment whenover the oxisting Minlatry may require it. There are TWO FOINTS IN ENGLAND'S POSITION with regard to tho Congress which, if urged, aralikely to serlously endanger the prosent foeling of confldenco. I am informed that Eugland inaists not only that tho basisof discussion ba established'befors tho Congress meots, but also that the basls shall bo the trontios of 1850 and 1871, and that Russia shall submit every point of the Russo-Turk- ish troaty to the discussion and docision of tho Congres. Without such agreoment in advence, England will rofuse to bind her- solf to accopt tho conclusions of the Con. gress. Now, while Russia would porhaps risk little in agroeing to theso demands, it is scarcoly likely that she will allow England to arrogate to herself so much authority in fizing the basis of disonssion. I am assured from another sourco—although it seems searcely possiblo—that ENOLAND WILL DFAMAND the withdrawal of the Russian troops from tho vicinity of Constantinoplo, at tho same time recolling her fleet from tho Bea of Marmors, befors she will agrea to attend tho Congross a4 all. Buch a dangorous proposl- tion could hardly bo contemplated unless England wore intending to fight Kussia any. Low, and I give it only as & rumor from a usually well-informed source. TIHE SITUATION. IN TN AUSTRIAN PARLIAMENT, Vienxa, March 10.—A domand was presented to tho Delogations Baturday for a grant of 8,720,700 florins on account of extraordinory and urgent army and navy requirements, ‘The Bub-Committeo of the Hungarian Delega- tion to-day discusscd a bill for the crant of 60,000,000 florfus. A1, Falk, rveporter of tho Committos, sald he colucdided fn the Govern- ment's views, but as thero were rumors of an intendea occupation of DBosnla and Herzegovins, he deslred Ruarontees that, if tho action should prove necessary, the Goverument would immediately seck the co-operstion of the constitutional bodles. Count Audrassy replied, aud the de- bats was adjourned until Tucsday. L * THE AUSTUIAN OCCUPATION. Loxpoy, March 10.—A report s again current that the Austrians aro about to occupy Bosola 234 Herzegovioa. This Is uoconfirmed, but it s understood the Austrian Rlenipotentisry will, with the consent of Russia and Turkey, bilog the question of the futurs position®of those provinces before Congress. A POSITIVE STATEMENT. VirsNa, March 10.—The Political Correspond- enée asserts that if Russia perafsta in not sub- mitting the whole treaty to the Congress, war 1s certatn. 3 ANDRASSY, Toxnow, March 10.—A Vienna dispatch states that Count Andrassy, answerlng questionsin a 8ub-Committce of the Hungarlan Delcgation, disclaimed any Intention of occupying or annex- fnz Bosnin, but did not deny that events might cause au alteration of his policy. THE UENERAL IMPRESSION is that the situatfon !s morc reassuring than many previously believed it would be. Another correaponident at Vienns s fully persuaded that the votes will pass the Delegatlons within a weck. N TNR CZAR. 87. PeTRRSDURG, Sunday, March 10.—The general Impressfon produced by the Czar's re- marks at his reception to-day of the Diplomatic Corps 18 decidedly pacific, A PETITION, A spectal from San Stefano saya it s stated that Reouf Pashn will ask for n remisston of 800,000,000 of the indemnity, % THE AULTAN 11AS RATIPIED the treatv, It 1a reported that the Iast clausa ts to the effect that Russia nna Turkes will regard tho treaty as solidalre, Implying that they will not recognize the right of any Tower to Inter- fero with ita terms, excopt as regards the ques. tion of the stralts and the scttlement af the boundaries of Montenegro. THE CONORESS. A Vienna dispatch announces that .the Con- gress will open March 81, AT CONSTABTINOPLE. A Pern speclal saya the question of the visit of the Urand Duke Nicholas to Constantinople results in a compromise. The visit will be lcas ostentatious than was first proposed. Loxpox, March 10.—A tclegram dated Con- stantinople Bunday, says “Reouf I'asha and Gen. Ignatfell started for 8t.

This has causcd great satisfoce tlon in Athens, MALTA, . LATELLETTA, Malta, March 10.—~The troop- ship Euplirates, which was detained here with 1,000 soldiers, has salled for home, and the Ber- apls, outward bound, has proceeded to her des- tinatlon, GREAT BRITAIN. BRADLAUGH, : Loxnox, March 10.—At a peace demonstra- tion In Hyde Park to-day Bradlaugh and Her- bert made short speeches and proposed resolu. tions In favor of peace, which passed immedl- ately, Boon aftcrwards the supporters of the Government pollcy arrived In force, and the meeting was declared dissolved. Bradlangh was cudgoled, and fed in g cab, GLADSTONE has written o letter to the Greenwich Liboral Assoclation stating that ho will not contost Groenwich at the next gencral clection, in con- scquence of a growing scose of his inabillty to discharge all the dutles whicn that constituency moy reasonably expect from its repredontative. BLIK_ ey Loxpox, March 10.~According to the largest estimates, the number of persons who attended the peaco-domonstration io Nyde Park yester. day was about 2,000, They wore hustlod about thepark and fnally ejected by a Iargo and dis- orderly mob. Bticks wero freely used, and scv- cral mcn slightly burt were taken to the hospl- tals, TOPULAR BOVERELIONTY. ‘The mob then separated, golog to cheer for Lord Beacons@ield and Musurus Pasha. A large crowd cleered and groaned before Gladatone's house,. Mr. Gladstone and wife, when going to chure, wero obifged to take refugo lu a friend’s liouse, whenco thuy were cacorted by tho police. The Duke of Teck was MIBTAXEN FOR COUNT SCHOUVALOFF, tho Russlan Ambasiador, snd insulted snd Lustled by the mob. A special froin Constantinople states that 700 Circasslans perisbed on tho stcamer Bphiox, which burned near Cave Fles. WITII GEN, SKOBELEFF. IN BIONT OF CONTANTINOFLE.

DEMORALIZATION OF TIB TURR3. Unrrespondence New York Tritune. CoNsTaNTINOPLE, Feb. 13.—Uncasiness and uncertalnty reached o climax fo this city on Wednesday last, when there was something near to s panfe, If so undignified a word may be applled to any emotion of the Turks. The rolicc had been drafted Into the ranks of the army, or had been withdrawn from tho vast ‘Turkish quarters of the city in order to protect Pera, Kadikeny, and other forelgn centres. Rumors constantly floated through the atreets that tho Russlang.were etill ndvanciug. They had appeared iné] ‘1\0 forest of Delgrade, at tho Valloy of tho Sweet Waters,and other subur- ban localities. Testlmony of the truth of the storlcs wos In the appearance of a ccaseless stream of Bashl-Bazouks armed to tho teeth, savago and hungry enough for any deaperate follies. Circassians ,scuttled away on every side or meditatively peered Into cvery window and door, appralsing the loot each house would furnish. Refugees stood un the strcet-corners and grumbled under thelr breath, or thronged. tha bridges and pubile squarce, surlily resentful of the slightest jost- iing of the crowd. Tha Turkish resldents wero glum and silent. Even the crics of the stroct- venders wers hushed, and there was a silence in the air which was opprossive, like the silence Lefore o tornado oran carthquake. I could not et out to thu ‘fortifications to sce for mysclf, ut tho last " report which I received from the front, ot nightfall, wos that tha Russans “were in line befare tho fortifications, had tha troops, Gen. summonsd -} Turks to' Jeave, and that Muklitar Pasha had rofused to evacuate, aud waa preparing to fight. The next moralng, however, as soon us I rut foot on tho bridge, thero wus o strogeling crowd of rnzx‘ed. gaunt wretches, uniformed In dirt, whose Peabody rifles showed that the: were supposed to bo soldiers. This mado it cvident that Mukbltar Pasha liad given up. The truth soon came out that the evacuation of the defenscs of Constantinople waa the last and hardest of the termns of the armistice, The Government had concesled the matter from the people, foariog n tumult, although the silence of the QGovernment was the very thing peeded to provoke onc. Wil only after the Russlaus actually ar- rived in force in front of the luo that the evacuation was scriously undertaken, aud then only thirty-six hours remained of the olght days allawed for the vurpose. Soveral Leavy Krupp guns were therefors left in the forts,—sacrificed to the plan ofghiding bad news from the people, That _duy (Thursday) Bashi-Dazouks, Circas- sians, Gipslcs, and demorslized soldicrs con- tinued to pour into tho city, and little rows ow curred hero and there. For lustance, a Clrcas- sian rodo through a group of Armenian hatnals (porters) ou tho Bayazid square and josticd one of thens, wha reseuted it. 'Fho Cireasslan then drow his sword nud struck the Armenian on the arm. Tho plucky bsmals, although un- armed, rushed on the blrcullan. took his naked swonl from his hand, and dragged him from his horse. The Circasslan, = however, broke away from them; and, drawing hls dagger, mudoa lunge ont at the nearcst hamal, but an American gen- tleman, who chanced to Do pussing on horse- back, was able to fnterpose his whip and divert the dagrer, Upon this, same Boftas and other ‘Turka rushied into the meles, and, cursing both Circassian and h-mnl:‘rmrcta thein to depart in opposite directions, Tho volice bolng always unavatlable In any such emergency, I scveral times saw citizens—commonly boarded god turbaned Turks—stop o nascent effervescence 1n the strocts by sending off tho quarrelers in op- Lm-ua inen, with the rewark that they ought to now better than ta get angry on the street at s eritical time, wnon nny privats Yow may grow to be a natiovs! aflalr of ll.umzmnn Interest in flve minutes. ‘This cool appreciation of the aft- uution on tho part of the better class of the prople has gone far to supply tho waut of a seusible Uovernment, Mr, Layard euys that there is **no (ivernment horo,” and he was not far from right when e made tio statermcnt to Derby, 1f is tolegram went to London I.-ly way of Bomlngclud Fao, ss is probable, tho (fovernment bad begun _to recover control of the city azain belore tha dispatch reached En- glnnd, however, Troops have come In from tho orts, aud are establistod fo all the barracks |u town now, ‘Throughout the wholo crisls, moreover, tho partics nave at least bad coolness enough to sce that from public or private charlty, bread bas Leen given to the vast hungry crowd which 1ilis tho street, This, in the eyes of tho classes who make tho lack of ‘m\'ummcnt dongerous, {soncof tho Hrat dutics of a King, acd thua they have not been awarce of the sftuation described by Mr, Layard, The Russlans have the city and tbe Turkish Emplire completely in result hns come about so gradually that wo have watched the successive ateps leadiog to it s those who Hoat in dreamns from realm to realm, snd have uo wonder for the rmarvels they hotd.

Lthen visited Parls, and subscquently Naples, concluding to take up my abude in the latter city, and to live In the most complete seclusiun, Hers mymind reverted to the sufferings which oppressed the whole nation, and, above all, the unhappy population of Rumelis,—a aaf- fering the most crusl and the most deplorable the world ever witnerscd, even before the com- mencement of this unfust war, When I reficet. on the terrible conscquences of this struzgle; of the numbers flying fromn their homes, from a country to which they are hound by the tradi- tions of morc than tive centuries; when I plet- ure our defeate, the takinz of Kars, the attack on Krzeroum, aml the Investiment of Plevna, with the eapturo there of 50,000 or 00,000 of our herofe soldicrs, my heart Is almost broken, and emotion arrests the words that arlse npon my 1ips. Evidently our condition is worse to-day than it was three months ago, Is it my duty, therefore, to malntaiu the “same attitude as then? Ithink not. We findl oursclves now confronting n situation totully different; and, although m{ scrvices have been rejected, those who formerly intrigued azainst me, and acted contrary to my views, do me justlcs novw. Bince the commencement of the war, the pol- fey of the Imperlal Government has been to dfsregand the opinfon of Europe, from which it now necessarily results that all Jcpemls on Con- stantinople. ‘Thercfore, those who assumed this licy, and on whom, ot the present moment, the ife or death of the Empire depends, are respon- sible foe the requisitc mcans to protect our moral sud inaterial interests. It is hoped such means bave been taken, If informotion can be credited, lately for- warded to me frotu Constantinople, the popula- tlon is exited by recent military disasters to such a degree of despair that it 18 ready for the conclusion of peace on guy terms., Sorrow to those who rule us {f Ihli[, toa, partake of this dlscourazement, for nothing mure pitiable nor more fatal could posaibly befall us. Certaloly all war must Jead to peace souner cr later; but the present contest {3 remarkable in its prece- dents, fonsmuch as the avowed determination of our enemivs is to annihilate the Ottoman Empire and to exterminate our race. Since the commencement of hostilities, many fayoratle opportunities ave offered themselves to hou- umbl{( terminate the war—at least with sacrifices nlnufl:){ of little consfderntion. - Wo have not known how to profit by these occa- sfons; and now that our ememivs find them- selves superior to us, wu boldly avold our fricnds,—those who hive given ample nnd valpable proofs of their devotion,—to negotiate directly with our hereditary enemy! Such a peace would piunge ns In an unfathomable abyss, and we would deliver oursclves to our adversarics in slavish submlssion, bound hand and foot. Certainly ft {struo that Proyidence guldes onr destinfes;” but this docs not imply that we aro to renounce dutles whieh conscienve and patri- otlsmn exact frot us, and abandon ourselyes to a sort of fatallsm. This would be gn’error which ootz cver could revafr. Without dpubt, fu the conrse of this war we have often hiad ovcaston to complain of Furope. Sho has treated us with oxtreme injustice. The sane Eurgpe which bonats of having earried the light o(“?fllluuou Into the most remote countrles in the globe, the Europe 80 proud of its hu- manity, has not found a word wherewith to stigmatiz: the abuninable aggressions of the Russirus, Shc has allowed them to commle upheard of crucltics; she has sllently wit- nessed the inasacro of otir parents, our women, and our childien.: < Dut, instead of drawlng from this fact the conclusiun that we coull henceforth favorably discmbarrass onrsclves ot Europe, would it not be better for our Goverpment to scek for tho motive which has caused Europe to assumo this attitude of indilterence ! 1t we consider the facts of the past year, we will find that our Government Lns obtalned three brilllant victorfes. Tho firet was the d's- solutlon of the Conlerence, whose nropoaltions rested on a defoctive principle, fnctinine to the destruction of the Ottoman Empire without war. The Government was firn n its refusal, and the Conference separated withouu taking auy actlon; in conseqitence of which the Proto- cof of London was drawn up, Accordiug to mK fdeas, there was nothing fnthis document whicl attacked the fndependence or the Inh.»zru; of tho Ottoman Empirc; or at least it would have becu casv at that tinie to extenuate the expres- siona Injurious tv our dlgnity, or to have them expunged from ths Protosul. Without paving the sligltest attentlon to this point, and with a want of circumspection without a paraliel, wo repulsed this Protocol with nore Indifference and presumption than would bave been at- tempted by the stroopest (overnment or the most forandsble Powers {n the world. It may be objected that the acceptance of this document would not have prevented Rusela from secking all possible pretexts for war; but, on the other haud, I reply, we would therchy bave galned the time necessary to study our Constitution. This would haye dircctod us to serlous re- forms, by means of which we would have galued the symbathies and confidunce of Euripe, so that, un the declaration of war, we would not have been without allles, nor ottr hoves of suce cess without foundation, Hy this want of wisdom, we havo compro- miscd the eftects of our first victory, Wo obtained a sccond victory In “the promul- gatlon of the Constitution, Na one witl dony that the principal cause of the deplorable stats of the Emplre was its viclous and abominahle system of admiolstration. Itls true the Im- re has lived under this reghine, and nmder this 4 becomo great Fbut It 18 now fmpassible to continue to exist without [-laulug it on a level with tho civilized States of Europe. Experienuce has taught us the nocessity of this chango, and that tho reforms and reorganiza- tions demanded of us by Europs constst only in the abolition of our oldreglae, We shall never cease rogretting that, fnstead of exorting ourselves ju this dircction, wo have wasted Prulmu thno in tollowing bad udvice. On_his accesslon to ths throne, his Majesty the Bultan recogmized tho urzency of tho %mmmu required, and granted his subjects a onstitution as the ouly solemn and serlous rotection to liberty dud equality, Some at- mpts ot reform which linmediately followed hn:l tue effect of paclfying Europe too certaln extont. Unliappily, on account of tho war, as well as by the conduct of thoso ju power being contrary 10 the principles of the Coustitutton, together with a great number of contradictory facts, the cxistenve this Constitution was donfed by mauy, and questioned by all the world, Laws oporoved of and voted for by theCham- ber wero never executed; great eriminals were spared and withdrawn from the rigor of the luw, while lunoceat victims wero mercilessly condemned. Ina word, nothing was neglectod which could create susplelon that a desire ex- {sted o sunul tho Coostitution; snd the be- lief spread more and more ubroud that Turkey was {ucapable of making refurins. Besides, somo Ignorant men bave the nuduns rofiting by the disorders around them, su clured thomselyes openly ugraiust tho Charter; whils others created vew "dissenzlons botween the Mussulytnsus and Christiuns, whose unity 1s 50 desirable at the present crisls, 5 In Y.mencu of this stato of affalrs, I am pot astonlsbied thst Europo regurds us iu s hostlle, deflant, and judlferent manuer, The third victory of which 1 speak is that which our brave soldicrs bave outalued, M. Thicre bad good reason to state that, if the Qov- eruwent of Turkoy was as good as its anay, the situation of our country would nof bu so ter- rible. The bravery of our sold astonished the world; their Intrepldity everywhicre uryuscs adwiration, und furuishics a Lritliant proof of the vitabity of & beople whons the world s log ranked suoug the dead. "Fhis Is also a victory our Government has ob- talued. But scarvely had we galned ft, or, at leaat, werv on the polut of gainlog this success, by means of the courage, the coustaucy, the herolsm of the matlou, when uew faults of tho Adumlulstration destroyed the friits of §0 many ot as Jinve cansed misfortunes, and p R T PRICE FIVE CENTS. . sacrifices.

BISMARCK’S POLICY, TS IDEA OP WIAT OBRMANI'S FPOSITION | SHOULD BE, i The following 1s the conclusion of a vety fin- " portant speech delfvered (n the German Parlis- ment by Prince Blsmarck on the 10th'of Fob- ruary: - ¢ My iden of mediation for peace 18 not that wo should onls piay tho arbiter when opinicns diifer, and sy, It shal be so,' and behind us theére stands’ the power of the German Empire;' but my idos of it is more modest—nay, to my mind, it (s rather the . mediation of an honorabls broker who really , wishes to carry on busivens, . Such is the pars which I propose to mysoll, —a part in sccordanco with the amicable relstions fn which, in tho first place, wo have lived with our friendly neighbors | whose territory vorders on ours for a vast extent of conntry, and also In sccordance with the unfun - which has oxisted fora Instrum between tho im= petial courts, The eame confidential relations subalst aleq between us and another_speciolly interested rnwrr. ‘namely, Eneland. We are with England n_ the fortunate position of baving no cun. filet of lnteresta betwcen us, except comimers clal rivalrics and soch rallhlll differences as must always occur, There In, howercr, nothing which conld sorloualy bring two laborlons and peace-love inz nations Info war, and I theretore Natter myself that we conld act as confidant between Encland and Hussia In certain clrcumstances Jnnt as well as, I am sure, we conid between Anstria and Hoasta, if they cannot agreg of themselves, . The rela- tions of tho thres Emperors do not at sl rest upon written obligations, Not one of the three Emperors s bound to allow himsaelf lo be ontvoiced by the two others. They rest on the personal saympathy and confidence of the three monnrchs, Ana upon the long-cxisting personal relations of the three lcading Ministers. 1 come now 10 the necc«sity of most emphatical- Iy opposing the exagyternted clalms made upon (crmany's mediation, and of aeclaring that, so 1ong 81 have the Lonor to be his Majesty's ' ade viser, there will be no question of cntertalning ruch claime, 1 am not of the opinfon that wu onght to follow the Nanojeonic conrse, and desire 10 be, If not the arbiter, At least the schoolmaster of Eurape.
