GORTSCHAKOFF'S REPLY., SOLER $ECOND THOUGNT. Loxvox, April 1L, —The ultimate effect of Gortschakofl's Hrcular Is not resssuring, It is pointed out hero that tho (overnment cannot accept the invitation to formulate coun'er pro- posals,—that the question must be scttled by the Powers jolutly. . AT VIENNA. In Vieana, whero only tho telegraphic sum- mary has yct been reeclved, the wost serlous deduction is that the hope heretofore held out frow 8t. Petersbury, of & rencwal of the con- ferepes negotistions, {s not confirmed by Gortechakofl's circular, which says sothing about accenting Englauds condition for golog to the Congress., Witbout some such concession on the part of Russta, no step can be taken towards & peaceful settlement.

The textof theclr- cular was published in tha orizinal French.

Iie expresscs surprisc that Austria has not seized the opportunity to ¢heek the disorders in Bosnia and Herzegovina either by annexation or by Imposing reforms. Princo Gortachakof!, in conclusion, sugwestsa settlement on a basis of a Congress by separate agreement between the varfous courts as to the modifications to bo fntroduced In the treaty of Parls, and disclaims allresponsibillty for further complications if the Powers refuse to agree to this course. ‘WILL PROTECY AUSTRIA.
