Lonpoy, March 27--0 a. m.—Littlo can bo stated with cortainty in regard to tho situn. tion in Europe, except that the hopes of o meeting of the Congress are now ata minf. mum, and warlike rumors jncrease in num. ber and strength every day. It is believed IN 8T, PETERSDURG that England is unablo to make good her promises to both Greece and Turkey, snd that sho is, therefore, aaxlous to avoid entering & Congress where her double-deal- ing would be exposed. For this reason it is probable that England intends going to war eventually anyhow, and the Russians ara DECOMING VERY INDIGNANT at her childish objoction to enteriog tho Congress, Besides, they aro now tolerably certsin that England can get no allies, and there ia much less to bo feared than there was s month ago, when Austria was showing signs of joining England, aex. 10NATIEFR will arrive in Vienna to-day, aud thero is little renson to doubt that he is empowered to mako such concessions to Austria as to avert any confliot with that country. Toz Trinunz's Vienna correspondont telegraphs that a preliminary sgrecment botween Rus. ela and Austrin has already boen reached, and that Gen. Ignatieff will merely stop on his way to Constantinople to confirm the ngreement. HIS VISIT TO CONSTANTINOPLE ia also regarded as significant, and it {s feared Lero that endeavors will be made at once to induace Turkey to make & close alliance with Russis. I have-tho best nuthority for say. ing that, should the Congress fail to meet, England will maintain her present attitnde of armed watchfulness, continuing prepara. tions for the war WRICH MUST EVENTUALLY BREAX OUT, Bhe can easlly carry out such & polioy for an indeflnite perlod, while Russia would be under far groater exponses, besides being obliged to evacuate her positions in Turkey at the end of three months, according to the treaty of Ban Stefano. It ia idle to imagine, however, that Russia would remain under such Ml’itfllnt, since she would not only be threatened with bankruptoy, but also with the losa of all the advantages gained in the recent war, TUE BEAT-INFORMED DIPLOMATS believe that the Congress must meet before May, or that,war will break out soon after that month, if not before, Both nations, lowever, have been blufling heavily heroto. fore, and it is possible they may find it possible to retire gracefully without coming to blows, ANTIOULY WAITING, Loxpox, March 26.—The tiual answer from 8t, Petersburg to Egland’s question, whether ke entire treaty of Ban Stefano will be sub- mitted to the Congress, is anxiously &waited, ‘The Times expresses the opinfon that * the more prudent Russian statesmen, even the Czsr him- self, ought to ba ready to smooth the wav for the asicinblage of the Congress. The contention of our Government is justifled in substance by Europe, and though the remaining objection 1s not one which ought to be fatal, it 1s by Russia rather than by us that the objectton ought, In strict justice, to be removed.” Tus PriboNDRRATING OPINION ot the Capitals of the Gireat Powers scems to be that Rusaia will refuse, aud thas this wil) reader the situation verv critical, in consequence of the prescoce of the British fleet in the Sca of Mar- mora aod the position of the Russisosabout Constantiuople, but that it no unforesecn lng- dent or complication srises from theso circum- atances,war may be avolded, sud, after a period of suspeuso damagiug to all the Powers, & fresh proposal for a Confereuco of Congress will be broughbt forward, under different forms, with the bupe of success. ¢« AUSTRIA. Tho position of Austria is the source of much MARCH anxlous curiosity. Bemi-official organs have de- clared the treatyof 8an Btefanoutterly unaccept- able, but the fact {s equally certain that Austria does not support England's demand concern- Ing the form of its submission to the Congress. Varlous explanations of the latter features of Austria's porley aro given. TRIPLE ALLIANCE. A Vienna correspondent says a reconstitution of the Triple Allfance is preparing for the pur- pose of oppusing the British policy. To tnis end, says the correspondent, Russla is offering Austria every concession, and he belleves the negotiations will undoubtediy succeed, From other advices, this seems an exsggurated pro- Russan vicw, Austrin’s objections aro to the wholc treaty of San Btefano. TUSNIA, AUSTRIA, AND RNGLAND, Another Vierina correspondent says: ' This Government scems to be of the opinfon that the differences remaining between England and Russia are those of form rather than of prinel- ple, and ought not to bo & bar to the meeting of the Congress, Bir Henry Elliot, the British Ambassador, had a long interview with Count Andrassy on Sanday, by appointment, and in all probabllity there was an exchange of idcas on this subject of paramonnt {mpurtance, There 16 no doubt Kussia is making n strong cffort to avert o possibility of an Avglo-Aus- trian alhanco before giving Englaod a final answer."” g PAILURE. PaRts, March 20.—The Temps belives the Con- gress has failed In consequenco of England’s re- fusal to participate. Franco stipulated from the ontset that sho would only take part if all the slgnatory Powers were represented. Tho Soir states that a council of Ministers has rencwed this resolution. LITILE JIOPE OF A SOLUTION. Loxnox, March 20.—The followingis from 8t Petersburg: **Those havivg direction of nifairs ltero nppear to have very little hope of o solution of the present dead-lock. Altbough the holding of the Congress without England would have the advantage of {solating her and consolidating tho Triple Alliance, it 8 regarded most probable that tho Congress will not meet atall. The whole question scems to be sinking from the sphiere of reason to that of passion." DISCOUNTENANCED. A Berlin correspondent Austria’s ideaof 8 Congress without Eugland {s belng discoun- tenaneed by Frauce and Germany, It Is possi- ble vnly the three Chaucellors will meet in Berlin, but even this s yet improbable. Ger- many is suro to take no procecdings against England, A 8TORM PREDICTED. LoXDON, March 27—5 a, m.—~The Foit says: “ Auother vain attempt bas been made to [n- duce Russia to ackuowledge some resposibitity towards Europe. Her ropiy Is invariably, viz: * You have full liberty of appreciotion and sc- tlon.! * Tne Jeader conclud: ShouldtheCon- gress fail, some means may vet be sought for establishing areal or pretended acreement. 1t 18 not probadle it will be found, and unless Russia yiclds the storm which is brewing witl break aut.” A GERMAN VIEW, A correspondent at Berlin atates that an ap- parently {ospired article in the Berlin Post jus- tifies England’s demand, and declares that Ttussia should be wise cnough to bo moderste. 1GNATIRPP'S MISSION. Loxpox, March 27—5s, m.—A Vienna dis- patch says: Gen, Ignatlef's mlsslon is to com- pleto the uegotiations for & schemne of parallel annexation, which hus alrcady found favor at headquariers here. Austria demavds Bosnia, Herzegovina, Northern Albariis, aod aportionof Macedonla, including Salonlea.-Russia objects to the snnexation of a portiorr of Macedonla, but this difficulty s by no means fnsurmountable. WILL GO TO HRRLIN, Gen. Jznaticf? will go to Berlin on leaviog here. Russla, by advice of Germany, is conclliating Austria and disregarding England, It s believed that Russia !s preparing for a war with England, Five hundred thousand men of the Rusalan landwehr were called out ou Mouday. LOSING TEMPER. ‘Tho Journalde St Pefersburg declares that Russia will not enaure the position obliging Ler to maintain her armancnts {ndefioitely. The Berlin Post remarks that the collapse of thu Cungress would enforce such au attituds on both Russia and Englaud. CONSTANTINOPLE. NICHOLAS AND TUE SULTAN. CoxsTaxTinorLE, March 20.—The Grand Duke Nichiolas, accompanied by twelve Russian Generals, procceded to-dsy In the Imperial yocht Livadia to the Dolnabaghitcho Palace, where he wasreceived by theSultan, surrounded by his Ministers, Osman P'ashis, and other Gen- erals, The Grand Duke converscd with the Sultan twenty minutcs. Ho then went to the Beylerbey Palace, svhore ho was visited by the Bultan forty-five minutes later. The Grand Duke and hissuite next proceeded to the for- mer Russian Embaasy, in frout of ‘which tho Russian cagles wero disolayed. The Grand Duke will sleep on board the Livadia to-night and taka luncheon with the Bultan to-morrow. Ivie sald the Grand Duke, referring to the Portu's apprchicnsions of a possible Anglo- Russian conflict, cxpressd tho hope that the Coongress would effect an arrangement. Lonpon, March 27=5 8. m.~A apeclal from Pera reports tuat the Sultan recetved the Grand Duko Nicholas with the utmost courtesy and cordiallgy. Diplomatlc relations between Turkey and Russia have been rencwed, and Gen. Nelldoff bas been appolnted Russtan Charge d’Affalres at ConstansInople. INCIDENTAL., CIOWDED STORKHOUSXS, Loxpox, March 26.—The Government storo- Thouses aro so crowded with war material under the recent contracts that storage bas been sccured in warehouses at Victorla Docks and on other wharves. THK SULTAN AND TUK GBAXD DUKE. BAN BrEFANO, March 20.—Tho Girand Duke Nicholas, with s sulte of twenty, will procecd to-morrow mornlog in the Imperial yacht Liva- din, to vlsit the Sultan, who will fmmediately return tho visit 4t one of the palaces placed at the Grand Duke's dlsposal, or on board the Livadia. 1aMATIRYS, & Viznna,March 20.—Gou. 1gnatiell has arrived. BVACUATED. Loxpox, March 20.—In consequence ol the fricudly remonstrsnce of the Russian suthori- ties, the Turkish forces have evacuated Buyyk- dere and occupy Maslak, . ¥ OCCUPIND BY THN HUSSIANS. ‘Wranjs, evacuated by the Sorvians, has been occupled by the Russisus. The Turkish jn- Labitants sent an sddress to Prince Milan ask- ing for avncxation to Bervia. If that is impos- sible, they beg permisslon to migrate into Bervis, resolved not to remaln o Bulgaria. —_— FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE, TUR ENOLISI MARKETS, Loxpos, March 28.~The Mark Lane Ezpress’ review of tbe British cora trsde the past week says: A large breadth of spring corn bas |been planted under favorasle conditions, and the scasonable weather of the Jast few weeks hos strenzbtened the wheat plant without uu- duly forcing It. 1n spite of the preseut winter weather wo have cvery reason to bope fors niore Prosperous semon than for three years. In many districts the sowing of barley aod vats is nearly completed. Another week of dry weather would seq nearly the end of spring sowing.

There has been soine continental demand, which has * TENDRED TO ADVARCE VALUES for cargzocs off tho coast. It Is probable France will require 700,000 quarters of fine wheat for wixing purnoses between this and hacvest. Judging from the dullness of trade at the close of tho week, It is doubtful whether last week Monday's advance will be maintalncd, asarrivals of wheat from Amerfca and Russia the next Tew months will be on too large a scale to ad- tnit much euhancement in values, France will probahly relleve us of some portion ot the ac- cumulaied stocks In Southern Russia, but allowing for this it isscarcely likely the ordinary consumptive demund will be” suflicient to sup- port present currencies. Some atientlon is dirccted to INDIAN WHEAT, of which thestocks In Lofidon are worked down to a comparatively narrow compass, and a siight fmprovement in the value of Calcutta broduce appeats probable, Maize, although qulet, is fairly stcady. Both old snd npew corn 14 in moderate request st the late rates, btut other sorts of fceding-corn oro dull. Girinding barley and luferior eorts of nats have given wuy one shilling and sixpence per quarter respectively, with molerate arrivals at ports of call. The fioating cargo trade for wheat ruled steady, The demand for the Con- tinent continues, *Malze advanced threepence tosixpence. Barley sold slowly at rather eas- fer terms. SOUTH AFRICA. THE BIUTISI WAR IX CAFFRANIA, PhitadetpMa Press, ‘Tha case of the substance ard the shadow Is now beirg fllustrated In & remarkable and not very satiafactory manner in South Alrica. where & ficree war has been wazing for somo time be- tween the Inhabitints of Caffraria and the troops, reguiar and mlitla, of Queen Victoria. As far back as the year 170 England took pos- scesion of the southern extremity of the Al- rican neninsuls, which was called the Cape of Good Hope. Twenty years later, on the dis- tribution of territory after the final foll of Napoleon, the purt of the country, then very limited in extent, was translerred to En- gland, and me the nucleus, or rather the base, of & settlement called Cope Culolla which, by gradual absorption of adja- ceat districts, has becotne very extensive.

Ere lonz, no doubt, by that absorption or asuexation, which las brought Hindostan, provinco by provinee, under the British sceptre, the Wholo of South Airica, at least up to the River Zambesl, will become o large English colony, of which Natal aow s vir- tually & port.
