NO OTHER PLAVAIDLE EXPLANATION OF EX- GLAND'S COURSE. (By Cable to The Chicago Tridune.} Lowoow, April 4—0 a. m.—The full text of Lord Salisbury’s dispatch hns not yet been recelved in Tussis, but cnough of st has been tolegraphed there to givea goneral idoa of its contents, It is regarded aa put. tingan end to all negotintions for aCon- gress, and it has, a3 might have boen ex- pected, CREATED THE GRRATEST AMOUNT OF EXOITEMENT and ill-feeliig. It is considered as eqnivs. lont to England's ultimatum, but no opinion can be formod as to what will be the charac- tor of the Rusaian roply. Some of the lead- ing Russian newspapors insist that it is TIME TO OPPOSE ARROGANCE BY FONOE, and to selze such commanding positions as, in the event of war, to threaten tho safety of certain English intorests. The more mod- erato Russian journals are content to ask England, since she objects to every foature of the treaty of Ban Btefano, to state what sottlement she can offer to take its place, . THRX OPINION GAINS GROUND throughout Enrope that England did not wish to bave the Congress at all, and that her policy of delaying mntters os long as possible in order to strengthen her own power and exhoust Russin’s finances was defented only by Russia’a dacided tone and Lord Dorby's resignation. Thus forced to reveal her real intentions, ENGLAND UNDOUBTEDLY INTENDS WAR. The Duke of Edinburgh'a ship, the Sultan, hos beon ordered home, but the iron-clads Rupert aud Devastation, much more power- ful ships, have boen sent into the Boa of Marniora by telegraphic order. CORRESPONDENCE, VIENNA COMMEN Y.oxoow, April B.—~The Vicons papers, com- ‘mentiog on Lord Balisbury’s circular to the Powers, say that Austria aud England wre agreed regaralng Lord Salisbury’s criticism of the treaty of Ban Stefano, and the steps neces- sary to protect the intercats of both States, and express the conviction that only by the defer- ence of Rusalajto Lord Sullsbury’s views can war betweon Englandand Russia be avolded. RUBKIA'S RXPLY, A special from Berlin says Russia’s reply to Lord Batisbury's circular Is preparing, Prince Gortschakoff is sald to bo anxlous to issus it as soon as possible, to remove the unfavorable lm- pressivn produced by the English circular, HOUMANIAN UOSTILITY. Russlan newspapers complain of the increas- {ng bostility of the Itoumania The latter aro sald to be hindering the possage of Russlun provision coluinus through thelr territory, and to hiave threatened to forbld it altogether, TS AUTHORITY, LoxDon, April 8.—In the House of Commons this afterncon, the Under Fercign Seccrotary stated that the Britlsh Ambassador at Vicnua replled to a telegraphic inquiry that the Rou- manlsu agent at Vienos was his autbority for tho statement in tho dispatch to Lord Derby of the 234 uit., that Gortschakofl told the Rownau- fan agent at 8t, Petersburg that Russla would not allow tho question of the cesslon of Bessa- rabia to be discusscd by the Congress. CRITICISMS, BUT NO PILOFOSALS. St. PEreusnunag, April 8.—The Ageice Russe says if Lord Ballsbury's note is to deciine a Congress, its end is attalned, but 1f It is lo- tended to opendiscussion, discussion by written communications may last a ycar, particularly as the pote contafns critwlsws, but no pro- posals, CONSIDERED BIGNIFICANT, LounoN. April 8.—A correspondent of the Manctiester ;Guardian calls atteution to the slgnificauce of the Vienna dispatch to the Eustern Budget, which was publisbed hero yes- terday slmultancously with the appearance lu Vicnua of & dispatch making a similar state- ment, which was telegraphed from Loaden to the Political Correspondence.’ The statement is to he effcct that the Austrian Goverament informed Gen. Ignatfeff that * it required alterstions to be meduin the pesce preliminaries, and that such altcrations sbould be made with the concurrence of the other Powers. There is, therelore, no prospect of Englaud belog isolsted, and the action of the Vieuus Cablnet is culculated to promote the in- tegests of peace.” The fact that this statement abpeured at the same time in the Eastern Bug- get aud Puiltical Correspondence, both Jouruals scmi-official { character, adds to its sigaificance. AUSTRIAN OPINION. The Political Correspondence, reviewing Lord Sallsbury’s circular, considers that fn last ro- sort the attitude of Austria snd England wilt fnevitably lead both to the same fssue. If the Congress does not meet England will take measarces for the protection of hér interests, which would, however, by po means Inevitably causc war, RCSSIA'S ONLY CHOICE Aprll 45 a. m.~Tne Bertin Port srifcle, which (s belleved to be In- spired, adopting Lord Salisbury’s criticisms of the 8an Stefano treaty. It says England will hardiy remain slone in the opinlon that the ‘Treaty of Parfs, untll amended, is the law of Eurupe. 8, therefore, has no cholce be- tween war or parting with tha Treaty of San Btefano, as she would have to do if she entered the Congrens. » TIE FEELING AT 8T, FETERSBURO. LoxpoN, April 4—5 2. m.—A spectal from Berlin saya: “Wo learn from 8t. Petersburg that the direction of foreign affairs has practic- ally passea Into the hands of Gen. Ignatlefl. “Russia continues to purchase largs quantl- ties of war material in Germany. “*Lord Balisbury's note has put an end to the plan for & revival of the Congress scheme which Russia momentarily coustdered.” WILL ANGLAND SUGGEST A BOLUTION! A correspondent at Bt. Petersburg telegraphs: As the text of Lord Sallsbury’s circular is not yet recelved Russis has not decided upon an suswer, but there s reason to believe aho will not regard tho drcular as having snything of the nature of an ultimatum. As the British Government confines itself to purely nezative criticlem, it may possibly be asked w suggest some solution of its own, Itis argued that if the English Cabinet really desire 1o avold war some pacific solution may still be found. The pubiic regard the cir- cular, however, a8 new proofl that Englaud has decided upon war, while in the official world It 1s said, although the circular s not pleasant reading for those who desire peace, it has tho advantage of intelligibility.

A Rome dispatch saya the Fanfulla belleves the English Ambassador is actually urging the ltaltan Government to assumo an attitudo fa- vorable to England. : PREPARING FOR COMMON ACTION. Loxpon, April 4—5 a.m.—A Vienna corre- spondent hears that Count Andrasay, recogniz- fog the difliculty of assembling the Congress, is prepariug for common action with England.

RUBSIA'S REPLY TO ENGLAND, Viznna, April 8.—A speclal from Berlin says Russia's anewer will contest Lord Salisbury’s dispatch polnt by polnt, and will declare that the aim of England’s policy is plain, ENGLAND. RUSSIA MUST DACK DOWN. Lonpon, April 8.—The Times, in a leading editorinl article, says the mala fact In the pres- ent posture of affairs is that Austila” and En- Rland aro one u toelr view of tho treaty of Bon Stefaoo, and of the ouly weaus by which, with- out war, it can be brought 1nto harmony with the just clalms of other Powcrs. The public opinlon of Europe is with them, and, if they act togzether with firmncss and loyalty, Russia may be induccd to withdraw from her position, which would thenjbe obviously untenable. GHANVILLE AND HATT(NGTON, A dcputation of the National Liveral Pedera- tion to protest against the attltude of the Gov- crnment, express disapproyal of the calling out of the rescrves, and to proclatm the desire of the Liberal party toeave Great Britaln from the shame and misery of an ubjust war, were mot at the Westminster Palaco Hotel this afternoon by Lords Grauville and Hartington. The depu- tatlon numbered about 500 representatives from all parts of the Kingdom. Joseph Chamberlain, member of the House of Cowmons from Birmingham, presided. John Bright lutroduced the doputation to Lords Grauviile and Hartington, Lord Granville, addiessing the deputation, sald he required no stimulus to adopt a course lkely to prevent the country fromn being dragzed into a war wlich neitber fis honorable cogagemnents nor matlonal interests demanded, but it wonld be decelving themselves and Rusala to_concludo that oppasition could provent the Government from golng to war if tho Government was bent on & warliko oolicy. Lord Hartington sald tho preaunt duty of the opposition was to interpose by every means in {ts power obstacles to any rush and iHl-considered action of tho Government, the result of which might be war.

DISMARCK, A PHOPOSITION. Loxpox, April .—Thls morning's news shows little change in the position of the Eastern question. Stmultageous dispatches from Berlin and 8t.

AWAY FROM HOME. VIEWS OF THE RUROPEAN MINISTERS IX WASH- INGTON, Bpecial Dirpateh (o The Tribune, ‘Wasuixarox, D, C., April 3.—The foreign Ambassadors in this city do not usually com- municate their views uoondiplomatic questions. A gentleman has been able to converse with several of them to-day, however, upon the im- pendiog European war, aud furnishes Tum TrisUN® the followlng accouant of their sentl- ments: Herays the feeling of Ruesia’s Am- bassadors upon the Eurnpean question is very pronounced and decided. Nicolas Shishakin, the Russian Minister, states that the bope of Russia s that England will 2o to war against the Czar. A great natfon like Russiadoes not propose ta be dictated to. 1f a man comes into bis house snd attempts to control his household arrange- ments, he Intends to kick bim out. The Eu- ropean question has reached the stage of pro- cecdings that Engiand cannot escape war with. out dishonor, and the best thing she can dofs 1o commence it atonce. Great Britaln's move- ment In sending her flect to the Dardanelles has colininated in Russia’adetermination to occupy Constantinople. It was not the intentfon of the Czar to take this step until England moved her flect [n this direction. Eogland’s commer- cial interests have reached that point that no nation on earth can rpgulate fts own affalrs without affecting Ureat Britaln's commerclal prosperity; and shall these nations stand still for fear of offending her Majesty? In regard to England’s sympathy and help for the Turks, it comes too late. TURKEY 18 PREPECTLY ANNINILATED, without ao army and without any war strength ‘whatever, and Russia has convinced the powers of Turkey that their salvation and thelr future prosperty is better off under the Czar's guld- ance. Eoglana's bluster and her warllke prep- arations are not feared. The indignstion at 8t. Petersburg and at Berlin over the salling of the Eoglish ficet s only an Indication of the popular fecling fn favor of a war with Eogland. Mr. Bhishakin savs the conference of the Great Powers will certain Iy bo held, and the all-important questions be considered, but that Russ’a’sultimatum fs fixed, and shewill submit to no dictation. From tbis high source of informution the jntimation was made as clcar as could be that Russia went tato the war with Turkey clearly foreseclng serious complications with England, and that theresult of the Turko-Rusala warls just what was ex- vected, and that the Czar s prepared to mect these complications flushed with victory and strovger thaun ever betore. Upon calling on BIL EDWARD THORNTON, the pritish Miniater, it was found that Great Dritain scldom has cable communication with her Majesty’s agent here o reference to the Europeau question. It was stated that war with Russia was popular with the English peo- ple; that that part of the English Ministry and the Eoglish leaders who decrled it were do- nounced by the popular volce of Engiand. The Englisk navy was preparcd for war. Eogland counted upon the recent Inventions n torpedo warfare, and applied them to ber pavy {n all its bearings as belng Rreatly sdvantageous to it Qreat Dritain's demand was an unobstructed intercourse with the Black Sea through the Danlanclles. There was no doubt that this claim would be enforced. Whother Great Brit- ain went to war depended upon the refusal of Russia to sccedo to what she claims to be of parumount importance to her welfare. TUN GERMAN MINISTES, Kurd von Bchlozer, stated that the German Em- pire would go into the European Conferenco by fuvitation. e did not know anything about war belog {nevitable, but be sald Germany was deternined to bring about peace as far as {t lald fn her power. In the Conlerence she would suc for peace, and, not being an aggrieved Power from tho results of the Russian-Turkish war, her fnteresta lald ju reconclling the present ag- gressive Powers, TIE TURKISI MINISTAR, Qregoire Aristarchl licy, sald bis Government had nothing to sugzest respecting her position at this time, 1Mo expressed duclded doubts of tho sincerity of England's professious of friend- ship. His Uovernment was submitting passive- 1y, sod auxivusly awaiting the determination of diplomatic negotlations fn order that Turkey may realize her exact position smong European Powers, Tho conversation with the accredited agents of tho Powers above meutioned, ss well as that of Austrls, was free, and may be consldercd as reflectiug the views of tho nations they rep- resent. Mr, Bhishkin, the Russiau Minister, spoke forcibly, and he earnestly maintatned that Eugland’s interference with the Russlan man- ner of seitling the Russo-Turkish warw as (m- pertinent and insolent, and not to be borne, - TUR AUSTRIAN MINISTER, Count Ladisias Hoyos, was of the opinfon $hat Austria is not deeply Involved {u the settlingof tho European question. He thought certaln claims could pe scttled by the Cunference, but 11 not she would not hesitate tofavor an alliance with England, The English Minlster looked upon England’a action as oue in defense of her rights, and took tho warlike preparations as a watter of course, INCIDENTAL.

The members of this branch of the service are pald & small sum sonually, The Volunteers (180,000 strong) cor- reapond more closely to the State troops in this country than the Militia. The regimeuts are vomposed mainly of young men engaged in ‘buaineas occupations, and are commanded by officers selceted by themaelves and approved by tho Government, The Sccond-Class Army Reserve (10,000 strong) is composcd of old pensioners, whio sro now off duty, but are expected to repatr (o mill- tary depots and serve when called out, WIUAT THE GOVELNMENT MAY DO.

The number of Geuerals represented fu this sum is twesty-one, ot whom tct wers slaln and eleven wounded, A Priuca of the Imperial famlly sod thirty-four members of the higher Russiun nabllity died on the ticlds of battle. Of the wounded, 38,824 nre slready completely cured, snd 10,000 others will be ablo to leave the hospitals fu few weeks, ‘Fliere were 121 mea prisoners fu the bands of theTurksat the thnv the armistice was conclud- ed, Of all tho Hussians who fougnt ln the war, oue-sigth wers either killed or wounded,~—s ratter large proportion.

Some may be surpriscd to be told that in some of tho great battles of tho cariy part of this century toe losses relatively to the uumber of combatants wers considerbly great- er. Of the Russisn wounded adinitted to hos- i»uu, one {n eveey eloven died of his injurics. n tho course of the whole war only two Rus- sfan suldlcrs wers punished lu{ deatd, one for desertlon and one for robbery with violeuce,—a remarkable showing.

He always carrled arms. It is sup- posed the assassins concenled themselves boe hind a low embankment between the road and plantation, and that, having first shot the Ear] of Leitrim, they shot the clerk and driver, rov- s0 there might be no witnesses. Alg Lordshlp's valet was. driving. about = mile behind, and, on coming up, found s master and the clerk 1ying dead on theroad. Lifo was still in tho driver. ‘The assassing meanwhile escaped in, 8 boat across Mulrov Bay. The valet drove back to Milford and alarmed the police, who, coming to the place, fouud the driver still alive, but unconsclous. He died shortly afterwards. ‘There {s no doubt that TIHE MURDEI WAS AGRARLAN. ‘The relations between the Kart of Leitrim and his tenants were unfriendly. His Lordship was kind and liberal to the poor, but was very pate ticular and cxacting in his dealings with hig - tenantry, visiting with unsparing severity the slightest infraction of the rules of thecatate, The Ribbon Boclety have a strong Lold upon the county, owing in a great measuro to his narshe neas, He had an iron will winch disrezarded allke appeals or menaces, and he posscssed ex- traordinary courage and perseveraucs in the pursuit of his purposcs. “TIMES" COMMENTE, ‘The Ttmes, In na editorial on the assassination, says it ls no exaggeration to say that the news of the murder ot the Earl of Leltrim, which caused s profound sensation {n the House of Commons yesterdasy when confirmed by the Irish Sceretary, has struck this country with as much pain and amazement as sn unprovoked declaration of war.
