ViERKA, April 80.—The Political Correspond- ence says the ncgotiations between the Russian headquarters and Admiral Hernby for eimul- tancous withdrawal have remained ot & com- plete standstill for tho last few days. Itis re- ported that Gen. Todleben brought fresh in- structions, and a resumption of these negotia- tlons will possibly be sitcmpted, as Prince Gortschakofl will probably be prevented from resumning his dutles for some time. The {dea has been revived of summoning Count Schouva- loff to discharge Prince GortschakofI’s functions ad interim. COUNTERMANDED. A specinl from Coustantinople states that the grand review at 8an 8tefano was countermand. cd In consequence of tho necessity of dispatch- 4 inglarge Lodles of troops agalnst the Mussul- man insurgents. INVESTIGATING. LoxDpox, April 80.—The Standard's dispateh from Conatantinople states that BMr. Maynard, United States Minister, went to Volo on Mon- day in an American man-of-war to inquire con. cerning the alleged massacres by Bashi-Bazouks. TODLEBEN, The Grand Duke Nichplas presented Gen. Todlcben to the Bultan on Tuesday. Ie then loft on board the Imperial yacht Lividia for Odessa. 118 PIRST ORDER. A special from Buchareat announces *that Gen. Todlcben has {ssued an order of the day fnstructing the Russlan troops fo Roumania to behiave well towards tho people. 113 POLICY. Loxpox, May 1—5 & m.—A Pern corre- spondent says further fnformation strengthens the view expressed yesterday concerning TRusslan opinfon in regard to Gcn. Todleben's military action, Headds: *T learn that Gen. Todleben {s Alsratisficd witk the present length of the Ruaslan front, and thinks the advance on Ban Btefano was & mistake. Ilo regards the Tchataldfa lines as the true positions to bo occupled, It Is now expeeted that the question of the evacuation of the fortresscs will be cnergetically pressed.” A correspondeut at 8an 8tefano also says the imopresafon (n the Russlan army fs that Gen. Todleben’s appointment portends strife. fe continuea: “I am told that Gens, Todlcben and Tmerctinsky both think war inevitable, Tho men are beginning to talk more of war. The appearance of the troops and horscs when tho Grand Duke Nicholas took Lis farewell on Bun- doy was very satisfactory.” CONSIDERED EMBARRASIING. A Vienua correspondent draws serlous atten- tlon to the awkward position of the Russians, o polnts out how they aro confronted at Con- stantinopls by an army superior to anything the Turks hiad ever concentrated at ome polut throughout tho war,—an army, accordiog to the lowest estimate, numbering 70,000 men. ‘The Mussulmau insurrectlon also appears to bo growing serfous. It involves not only the wholu of the northern half of tho Rhodope range, but according to one sccount s spreading to the Balkans. The insurgents arc enacavoriug to galn the strategic points io & way that showa the existoncs of & directing head. ENGLAND. FOR MALTA. Loxvoy, April 80.—Ths first contingent to bo dispatched from this country to Malta will number 5,000 men and two hatteries of artil. lery, all of which are under orders for cmbarka- tion. ‘Thae torpedo service promises all that Is de- sired. Jobn J. Thornyeroft & Co. will soon have ready five or six of tho twenty torpedo launches they aro building, and other firms are wmaking exiraordinary efforts towards the com. pletiou of Government orders for launches. NAVAL RENDEZVOUS. Portland will be the rendezvous of ships pre- 1 paring to form the ficet for the Chanucl ana North Sea. The coast guard and turret ships will proceed there as soon as ready. 708 BALTIC FLEST. Considerable cxcitement seems to have been produced in Berlin by the announcement that an Euglish flect is being fitted out for eventusl operations in the Baltic. The idea cnpressed jn Berlin, that it is bardly to be expected that a foreign feet would make its appearauce in the Baltic sgainst the wish of Germany, Is declared 1o bo an eccentric theory Which Is repudiated by the Cermau Governwment. CONTRADAND OF WAH, In view of the present critical state of affairs, the Liverpoal customs autberitics are under- stood to have been fustructed to cxerclse spe- clal vigilance 1o the examinstion of cxport car- gocs, to prevent articles contraband of war leaving the country. The Begum of Bhophaul bas offered her whole avatlable force for servico abroad. NAKHOWED DOWN. Soma consolation for the prolongstion of cof- forts 10 preserve the peaco s found in the fact that the polut at ssue ls becoumning gradually moro distinct, Tho polat is, whether Russia will recognize that tho rights of tho Great Powers, as catablished by the treaties of 185° and 1871, tako the precedence of tho claims of the Treaty of 8an BStefano. Thbe conccaslons which {t was ststed Russia would make, viz, MAY 1, | 110, and aro alt Germans, Capt, Badenhausen 1878, the limitation of the boundaries and of the period of accupation of Bulgaria; the sabstitu- tion of a European for a Russian Commission, aod the orzanization of a European Nyndlcate to consider thoclaims of the bondholders, as well as the Ruasian claim for indemnity, and the retrocession of the small slip of Hessarahla fohabited by the Russians, are owned to: be great, but it is conspleuous that she completely ignores the Treaty of Parle and its reaffirma- tion in 1871. RRIGNT'S BRNTIMEXTS, The Han, John Bright spoke at s large peace mecting in Manchester fo-day. Ho declared thero could be no faith in a Cabinet which had no truth. Lord Beaconsfield was the great dis- turber of nations his policy was hateful in the sight of Heaven, and lostlle to the bighest in- terests of Ureat Britain., has consequently pronibited, the Russian sol- diers from crossing the line of demarcation, N ITALY'S A1MS, NDoX, April 30.—A dlspatch from Berlin saya: ‘*Intelligence received here, from what Is considered a trustworthy source; atates that the Italian Government Is making warlike prepara- tions on a somewhat large scale. Tho object, it s said, Is to dispatch a force into Albania.”? This {s similar to the report In the Berlin dis- patch to this morning’s Standard, that Italy has declled to make s descent on the Albanian coast. BISMARCR. Benein, April 30.—Bisnarck's phyaician states that thie Chancellor will be able to return to the Capital ju about a fortnight or three weeks. AUSTRIA, LoxpnN, April 20.—A Vienna corresponilent, discussing the Austrian policy, while pronounc- {ng the rumors rezarding the occupation of Boa- nia as premature, does not ray they are more than premature, but rather intimates that such measurcs may soon hecome justiitablo. NICHOLAS, Statements rezarding the significance of the Grand Duke Nicholas' departure from San 8tefano are contradictory. A Pera dlspatch says it 1s the opinfon In the Ruesian camp that the change In commanders marks an era of sterner policy, % The eame correspondent savs the Russians have endeavored to minfmize the Pomak Insur- rection, but the hest information trom non- Russtan sources aflirms its vigor and extension, ATOCKS. Loxpox, April 80.—Pollticat news from the Continent, though contradictory, and convey- fog but an imperfect fdea what the future may be, Is looked upon favorably in tbe stock markets. Prices openert at a gmederal improve- ment. Consols and Russians shared the ad- vance. . BESSARABIA. . RUSSIA DETERMINED TO HAVEIT. Loxpoy, Aprit 80.—The 8t Petershurg cor- respondent of the North Duteh Altemaine Zel- fung, writing about Russia’s demand for Bess- arabia, says: * Let no one deccive himself as to what 1scoming. Tho desire to recover Bessara- bia is only the symptom of a wish pervading the cntlre Russian nation to destroy the Paris Treaty. It Is not so much Bessarabia we are striving for. What we slm at Is the canceling of this treaty, Whether the Bulgarian fronticrs remain as defined in the Treaty of Ban Btefano, whetler the Greek element {8 alluwed more scope, whether Bervia Is augrandized, whether Austro-Hungary Is con- ceded the temporary or permanent occupation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. making Montence gro an enclave of lier new territory—all this is of comparative indiffercace to the Russlan na- | Uon. ‘Whether the rearrangement of [urkoy is regulated by a Congress, Conference, or war, the demands for the restoration of Bessarabia will always bo preferred with thesamo perti- nacity, Buppose we should be balked this time? This would only make us more eager to pursue our object lo the future.’ TIMES COMMENTS, The Times, in a leading edltorial, says regard- ing this: * Russia appears to he ready to make numerous concessions, provided she can subst{- tute for common European intcrests fn Turkey o set of lsolated nnd conflicting interests, and can thus emancipato herself no Jess than Tur- key from dircet obligations towards Europe. It is this dlsposition agsinst which we naist per- sistently protest, aud ff Russla secks s peaceful issue to the present comolication she must rec- ognize the princlples shie has scknowledged on former occasions, Let her only do that, and concessions cven leas than those she offers might {n some respects satisfy this country." SERVIA. RVERYTIING LOVELY. LoxpoN, April 80.—A telegram from Bel- grade says: ‘It appears that friendsbip be- tween Russia and Servin is completely restored. It has heen arranged that Servia, In tho event of an Anglo-Russian war, shall only observe the stipulations of the San Btofano treaty, while Turkey rcmains peutral. It 18 probable that the Bervian army will slowly occupy many strategical positions in Old Servia witn the con- acnt of Russia, Al levies wiil be at thelr posts Ly May 10. Tho intrenched camp at Kladova, which {s one of the princlpal points of concen. tratlon, is now completely fortified.” SUSPICIOUS. TIE CIMBARIA. Loxpox, April 30.—A Vieona correspondent telegraplis aa follo “The llamburg-Amer- fcan Packet Company's stcamship Cimbria, which has been chartered by the Russion Gove etnment, bas taken a continrent of fortyofficera and 500 scamen, and started to crulse on tho Chineso and Japancse coasts.”” NEw Yonk, April 30.—The Cimbria put Into Bouthwest Harbor, Me., Sundaylast, for orders. ADDITIONAL. Souvrnwest HArnOR, Me., April 80.~Abont 7 o'clock Bundsy mornlog the steamship Cimbria, of Hambnrr, ove of the New York and Ham- burg Line, arrived at this place, According to Capt. Badenhauscn’s statement, she 1s char- tered by on spent of the Russian Gov- crnment. 8ho procceded to Port Baltle, in Russla, and there tock on boand 0600 men, mostly Finns, as ateerage vassengers, and elxty-threc men as cabin pussengers. 8ho salled from Port Baltic April 20, and passed around the northof Bcotland. Capt. Baden- hauscn was under the orders of one of tho cab-* in passengers, and when off Cape Sable, as e shaped hls course for Capo Cod, be was directed to lay his course for Suvuthwest Harbor, He lins no cargo, only {ha ship's stos He s now here waiting orders. e professcs uttor ignor- anco of the destiuation of the vessel or men. No person has been ashore except Capt, Baden- hausen and the gentleman {u charge. The Iat- ter bas the bearing of anaval oflicer and is Russlan. The Collector of the Port has not yet boarded the ship, aud no other person bas been allowed on board. Tho ship is full of men and kecps steam up continuelly. A VISIT TO THE VESSEL, EvLrswonTy, Me., April 20.—~Thy passengers on tho steamer Cimbria, at Bouthwest arbor, proved to bo o regularly-organized ship's com. pany of slxty oflicers and 600 seamen of the Russtan Imperlal navy under command of Count Urifenberg. On her arrival a long dis- pateh in cipher was sent to Admiral Lessorsky at 8t. Petersburg, and the officers seemn to bo awaiting a reply. Tho ship has a larpe amount of stores ou board, Includiug coa! for ten duys* steaming. No arms nor ammuaition are visi- Dle, and the ofticers of the steamer dedy that there are any such on board. Tho- officers and c¢rew of the steamer number GORTSCIAKQFP'S CONDITION. Loxpox, May 1—5 0. m.—A Vienna dispateh eays accounts concerning Priuce Gortschakofl's condition represent that it is worse again. e 1s very weak and, above all, sleeplers. AUSTRO-HUNGART, o final deciston has been reached in the Ple- rary Councl of Ministers in regard to the Aus- tro-Ilungarfon compromise. The Hungarian Ministers have left for Pesth, but they will ye- turn durlug the week to complete negutiutions. OCCUPATION IMMINENT. Losnox, April 80.—The various Vienna cor- respondents persistently malntain that the Austrian occupation of Bosnia fs Imminent. A Berlin correspondent savs that oceupatton will be effccted ms the result of the bargain with Russia. A Vienna dispatch states that no final de- cision has been taken relative to the project for realizing part of the vote of eredit This wmust cause, for a short time, the postponement of the occupation of Bosnia, which, however, muat be heneeforth recarded 0s a certainty, and may be cxpected in three or four weeks. Ope reason will be to escort 150, 000 refuzees back to thelr homes: also to over- awe the Montenegrine and others. The same corresporglent says serious difficul- tles are apprehiended In concluding the Austro- Hungarian compromise negotiations. A PROTEST. A Vienna correspondent says .itfs reporteid that Italy has protested agaiust the aggrandize- ment of Austria. FOREIGN GRAIN TRADE. TIE LATEST REFORTS, Loxnox, April 80.—~The Mark Lane Ezpress says the general tenor of the agricultural re- ports Is distinctly satisfactory as recards the wheat and spring coru crops, and it s very acle dom that advices from the rural districts us to weatlier, work, ‘and crops record so fow com- plalnts ns ot prescnt. Business has boen neces- sarily restricted in Mork Lane, owing to the Easter holldays. Supplics of English wheat have been light, and pilcer have ,undergone little or no change, either In London or the Prov- inces, anda quict but steady tone prevailed, With political affaies unsettled, holdirs of forelzn wheat have heen content to satisfy the retalt demapd. The cxports for the past week amounted only to 2,500 quarters, azainat 9,000 and 15,500 respectively In the two ¢ precadityg weeks, from which it “may be seen that the re- quiremcuts of the Coutinent ure for the present supplied, ' This impurtaut element of strength belng wanting, holders only had the ordinar: consumptive wants ofthe country to fall back upon, which do not -appear to be large, although thero has been suiliclent business Lo prevent prices reeeding to any quo- table extent. Millers, zencrally speaking, lold falr stocks, America has furnished the bulk of the imports of wheat into Lowdon, which, how. ever, have been quite maderate. With falr e rivals at ports of call, the floating curgo trade for wheat ruled firm. Prices advanced fully o shilling, apparently owingz to the coutinued political uneasiness, but business was restricted owlng to the holldays. Maize sdvanced eixpence. Barley steady. MISCELLANEOUS, ROYAL DETROTHAL, Bentiy, Aprli 30.—It fs understood that the ceremany of bLetrothal of the Duke of Con- naught, the seventh child and third son of Queen Victorin, to Princess Louise, third daugh- ter of Prince Frederick Charles of Prussta, will occur at Darmatadt on the 0th of May next. THE ATRIKE. Loxnpox, April 30.—There is little change In the strike, Ina fow isolated cates a compro- miso has been effected. The weavers of soven more mills {u Preston have struck, and one maater has been mobbed. The masters at Ashton-under-Lyne will meet Wednesday to declde whether 2o give notice of a reductlon of waces. It Is thought probable that a 5 per cent reduction will be vro- posed. A slmilar reduction was submitted fn_ November, and the proposal which Is now anticipated would reduce wages in thu Ashton district to the same rate as demanded by the masters {0 the North sand Northeast Lancaihire. Ther 18 Fruu distress in Blackburn, and a number of women and children are compelied tobeg. Buth'sides are obdurate. INPOSSIDLE, LoynoN, April 80.—The Cologne Gazette ve- ports that several Prussian Hishops have me- morfalized the l'ogo that an uaderstaudiog with Prusils is impossible.
