Lowvox, ' April 10.—The ZTimes says the spoeches of Lords Béhconsflela and Salfsbury are thought at Vicuna to polnt to the probabil- ity of war, and to hold out small hope of a Con- wress, which fa there belleved to be the only possible way of reaching a pacific solution. This supposed attitude of England is NOT APPROVED AT VIENNA, because the Austrlan Goverument has made no provision for the oventuality of a final fallure of the Congress project.

Millet, the war correspondent of the London Dally News, says there 1a-much feeling thero In some circles over Gen. Grant's action upon an invita- tion to dine with the Grund Duke Nicholas, Mr. Millet says the Grand Duke, on the simple sucgestion of Lieut. Greene that Gen. Grant was in Constan- tinoplo and had -expresscd a desiro to seo the Russian army, sent to tho General g most cor- dial and friendly Invitation to visit 8aa Stefano. The invitation was accepted, and the day pamed, svd ss it was reported among tho officers at San Stefaso that the ox-President of tho United States would visit tho headquarters on a certaln day. There was excited considerablo {ntorest to sece the great American Goneral, and everybody anttel- pated with satisfaction the proposed visit. Two days before the day appointed for the dinper with the Grand Duke he DINED WITIL TUR TURKISH MINIATERS and Generals in Btamboul, and on the day fol- lowiug the bright idea occurred to some one that perhaps it would mot Le just the proper thiog to first roceive the hospitality of tho Turks and then visit the Russlans, even 12 peaco had beon signed, sud after o good deal of talk doubts began to ariso in the mind of tho General himeclf. In this climax Mr. Mavoard was consulted o one who would be supposed to bo an authority on matters of diplomatic etiquctte, ana he de- clared plainly that IT WOULD BE IKDELICATE for Gen. Grant to visit tho Russlans after hobncbbing with the Turks. Mrs. Grant wanted to mako n trip up the Dosphorus, so, of course, hier veto was thrown against the Bau Stofano visit, for tho day pamed to dine with the Grand Duke was the only one availsblo for the excursion through the stralt, becauso the Vandalls would turn head for Greeeo at the closo of theday. It didn’t scem to oceur to anybody that, after once having accepted the fovitation from the Grand Duke, it was a little late to find out that it was contrary to etiquette, and how little Gen. Grant's guldes understood the situation will be scen by what followed. It becamo Lieut. Greene's duty to go to the Russian hesdquarters ond corry the regrets of Gen. QOraot that ho could not, YOR PEAR OF OFFENDING TIN TURKS, dine with him, s hio had sald ho would, so, in the morning of the day, Lieut, Greene went to San Btefano and totd the Grand Duke the reason why his proposed guest would not come. This was, as may bo expected, suything but o pleasant task, but the QOrand Duke, with his accustomoed heartinoss of manner, mado tho {nterviow and the excuses rather s matter of pleasantry, o first acarcely believing the news, and, when he found it was true, sald fraukly he was very sorry for it, because he bad wanted to meet Qen. Grant, and 1AD ARRANGED A REVIRW OF THE TROOPS YOR Y Gen. Ignatleft also expressed his disappolnt. ment, and we, who as Amcricans folt bound to catry our part of the responsibility even for what we consldered a great breuch of com- ulon-sense politeness, not to talk abouy diplomatle etiquette,—namely, for Gen, Grant to treat the Grand uke’s {nvitauon with no mora consideration than that of & meim- ber of tho United States Cabinet,—lowerod our calors for tho day, aud did not fecl any more cheerful when we learncd that the Auaatrian, Greok, and Italian Miolsters to the Sublime Porte, who formed part of tho company at the ‘Lurkish dinner, WEAR DINING WITII TR'E GRAND DUXE.

The busiucss for which the caucus was called haviog been trunsacted, It was expected that TUE BXCITING ASSAULT upon the Administration which had been prom- fsed would follow. Sargent, of California, the most resolute of the Implacables, moved a resolution with a preamble reciting that, tnas. much na arestoration of the Democratic party to power would be a great calawnity, and Hepub- lican eflicloncy was ueccssary, resolved that the President be requested to withdraw n less bittor specch than was expected. It was, however, somewhat {u the veiln of Howo's speech In the Scnate. Nothing that the Ad- minfstration had done pleased him, He de- nounced the Bouthern policy, and declared that it was o surrender of the party flag and the de- struction ol the party in the South, Bervice order ho denounced as impracticable, hypocritical, and tending to the disruption of the party organization, Mo was interrupted by Senator Teller, of Colorado, by questions which made it appear that ‘Teller agreed with Sargent, SENATOR EDMUNDS was immedintely callcd to tho front as the pre- .servor of harmouny within the party, and sub- stantially us the friend of the Presldent, He made a very {ngenlous motlon, which prevatled, to refer the entire subject to the Congressfonal Committee Just appointed. This resolution was welcormed us a ssgacious vxpedient to postpono a queation which could only have led to irritate After some discyssion it was unan. imously carried. Edmunds remarked, however, that tho Civil-Servico order was somathing of a bugabuo; that It really did not amount to tnuch, cspectully since the {nterpretation given to It by Attorney-Uoneral Devens In the matter of tha participation of the Boston Collector tn politics. This interpretation, Senator Ed- munds thought, could hardly have becn put upon It by a good grammuriay, but it was sufll- clont to prevent tho order from becoming a very scrious menace ta party success. me, of Wiscousin, made s brief aud earuest specch, lo which he COUNSELED ITARMOXT, snd, while he did not agree with everything the President bisd done, thought it foolish to seck any autagontem, Conger, of Michigan, made s very remarka- been regarded 83 an advanced lmplaca- pructical and sigulticant protest avainst the spolls system, and to that extent at least an in- tho President’s Clyil-Scrvice policy.
