CONPLICTING, Lonnoy, April 20.—The news this morning from the various capitals fn regard to the politi- col situation is very conflicting. A Rome dis- patch contradicte the stutement that Italy has asked Englund to state her views, and a Berlin dispateh reaflirms it, and says the question is now being repeated by Austria, Italy, aud Ger- many. MORE CONTRADICTIONS. A dispatch trom 8t. Petersbure declares that Bismarck has ceased medlating, whiledlspatclhies frow Berlin and Vienua state the exact opposite very positively, The St. Potersburg correspond- ent undoubtedly derives lis information from the 8t. Petersburg Chancellery, AUSTRIA, It 1s equally imnossibic to determine what is the foundation or repeated declorations that Austria {s about to occupy Bosnia. The Austrian and Hungarlan Minlsters are in councll {n Vieu- na, It {s stated that Count Andrassy is vressing for tho Immediate comprumise of the long- pending coutroversles between the two States, because the condition of forclgn affairs demands an energetic policy which Intestine quarrels would hinder. PRECAUTIONART. Loxpox, April 20.—Many vouflleting reports are current about the wmcasures of precaution Austria will take, but none are authoritative. 1t is said that Servian actlvity and truculence are befug excited by Hussia to divert the Aus- trian forces, as Servia’s ouly further expecta- tlon of prefit must lw in the direction of Bosnia, where Austriacouid not perinit herto go, A Vien- nadispatclisays: * Whatever measures of pre- cautivn the Government may have resolved upou, Russia {8 not o party to them, They bave u ny's sanction, and possibly they were suggested from Berlin, but Austria Is still freo asto her fulure movemeuts. It s worthy of uotice that the best informed and most trust- worthy and careful of all the social contribu- turs to the Lovdon press, dlscussing the posd- tlon at considerable lengih, has not a word to suy about the attitude of Austria, a talr fndica. tion thut no decisivn hus been reached at Vienua” NO PHROGRESS, Loxpon, April 30—3 o, m,—A correspondent at S, Petcraburg says thore hos been 0o per- ceptible progress in tho vegotiations during $he last twenty-four hours, The direct pourparlers between Eozland and Russfa bave hurdly begun, Russiu atill wishes to ascertaln Suglana's views ju general terms.

The Russluns have agreed to withdrew to & lno from Adrlanuple to Dcnuagnu!. LENGLAND. WARLIKE PRRIARATIONS, LoxvoN, April 29, —Geu, 8ir Alfred Hastings Tloretord bas Leen selected as counuander ot the Becond Anny Corps. A considerable proportion of thu First Army Corps ts likely to be dispatelied to Multa fu the course of the comlng week, Including & portion of tho guards.

Water will be provided for thirty and wwal for twenly-six days. At the Bombay dock-yard work is being progecnted day and uight lo diting the ships for the accommodation of the troops and borses. A SUCCESSFUL EXPERIMENT. As so experiment of State policy, the dis- patch of pative troops to Europe bas proved successful beyond the hopes of the most srdent sdvocate of the measure. The na- tive soldiers apocar completely captivated by the prospect of beloz cogsged fu military servico o Europe. They arv now volunteer 102 to cruss tho scas with an enthusiasm which bhas surprised evea thoss Wwho CHICAGO, TUESDAY, APRIL 30, 1878, know them best. They are pressing forward in whoie regiments at & time. The troops who returned from Burmal only six weeks ago, and who were thres years in that country, are eald to be delighted by the thought that they are 2oing to some place near England to fight the Russtans! In one regiment every man has signed a petition that he may be sent with the exoedition to Eurone. ENGLAND'S ATHITUDE. Loxnox, April 20.—Gathoroe Jiardy, Secre- tary for ladia, presiding at a banauet in Brad- ford to-night, eald the CGovernment took its stand upon public faith snd honesty, and unon the declaration of 1871 that one party to an co- Ragement could not withdraw from it without the consent of the rest. He denled that the Government. were Indifferent to the wrongs of thie Turkish Christians, but the policy of a great power could not be destruyed by an incident, however horrible. The real question was whether England had or had not great Inter- csts in the East. He maintained that the Treaty of Sau Stefano In its present shape id not contalua single clement of nermanent peace. The interests of the Greek and Mussul- man populution must be protected, as well an those of the Sclavs. The measures of the British Uovernment were not warlike, but precautlon- ary. A war party or war Ministry waa an Im- possibility In Englaud. If a people went to war it must not be for the sake of victories, but only fur great principles. The Government were determined to maintain the priaciples by which thelr conduct on the Eastern question bad bitherto been actuated. DETERMINED. Mr. Hardy epoke In & very determined tore. He said bo believed Eogland could send 70,000 menabroad at this moment. England !s no lunger a small island, but a vast empirc, having the right to draw trustworthy defenders from all parts of the emplre. He knew nothiug which gratitied him o much as when lately he received st the War Otlice offers from Cauada to raise regiments, and he belleved the same hieart was beating tu sll the colonies as at home. Referring to the San 8tefano treaty, he sald there was danger that if vie Power was able to dominate and use another without actually annexivg her, English and European interests mizght suffer, and a state of divilizatlon and humanity would be brought about very different from the civilization and ho- maloly ot England. Durable peace for Europe could not be secured by the destruction of all which had been sol- emnly ratitied by a1l Europe or by the predomi- nauce of one Power. It was to secure a aura- ble peace that the Governmncnts were seeking an cntrance Into o Congress where views tight be freely heard ubon every question affeoting the treatics of 1850 aud 1871, They lovked to the people to enuble them to speak with a force and declsion which would give effect to thelr alws, 4 TIR FPIRST ARMY CORIFS, Lonpon, April 80—5 a, in.—It Is understood at Aldershott that the Queen has expressed hor {ntention of naming au carly day to review the Firet Army Corps in its now complete state, WIAT DOES 8HE WANT] ‘The Jall Mall Gazelte, Iu 8 lcading editorfal, saya: *“The solicitation to us of Germany, Austris, and Italy to proposs a plan of our own amodnlts to nelther wmora nor less than a verbally modified offer of the principle of cquivalents as a basls of scttle- wment for the Eastern question, That offer has been azatn and arain decllned by her Majesty's Miuisters durlng the progress of the late war, and we have no fear of thele acoeptingftat a tiine when they would Incur more conspicuous discredic by so dolug than on any past ocea- alton.” BRAG. Loxnox, Avril 20.—The Vienna Pollticat Cor- respondence has o letter from London stating that the British Goverament still considers i vossiblo that Russia inay apprectate to the full England's earncstoess.

The proposed attendance at mass fo Constan- tinople aud a grend rovicw at San Stefano wero entirely due to the initistive of the Grand Duko Nicholes, aud wese countermanded from Bt. Petersburg. Asthe sdvance to San Stefauo was also attributed to the Grand Duke, it may well bo belloved that bis recall is actuated past- 1y by a wish to spare bim the wortidcation in the event of withdrawal being ultimately de- cided upon.

This rumor ls probably based on the statement In the North German fiazette of Saturday that * it would not conceal the opinion that the disvatch of & British fect to the Baltic, where many neutral interests might be affected, would render the situation immeasurably more complicated." The Vieuna Montags Review yeaterday pub- lished & Berlin letter believed to be semi-oftlvial on this subject.

Loxnon, April 23.—Vienna newspapers re- port that the eatry of Austrian troops fnto Bos- nia is imeninent. This announcement, however, 1s belteved to be foundeld oo uere confecture, as pothing definite has been settled. PREMATURE, A correspondent says rumnors relative to the decislon on the part of Austria to occupy Bos- nia, and foriw s corps of observation ju Transyl- ‘vanla, etc., are premature, although the proba. Dbilities of such measures have doubtless iu- creased, A special trom Vienna sasa probably defore this is printed the Plenary Mintsterial Conneil now sitting will have authorized the Ministry to ake the neceasary arrangements for realizing balf of the credit of 60,000,000 florius, 1f Huncary conscuts, Bosnia will be occupied.

The story Is that while McLin was numinated Associate Justics for New Mezxico, tho Fiesident endeavored to have: htin deteated in the Scnate. The vircume stances tending to prove this, Chaudler says, are that the President promised & Western Sen- ator that if McLlo was not confirmed a frlend of that Senutor should Le appoluted. Another Western 8cnator, within an buur after McLin's defeat, went to the President and sought the appointment for a dillercns person, when tho President Infored hitn that tho office was al- ready promlsed.

The Democratic managers of this conspiricy are haltlng for two reasons. First, becuuse they have not discussed whether it would be u wise party policy 1o commeuce an investization and rcopeu the question.
