ENGLAND AND THE EAST. ‘THE CORRESPONDENCE ON THE EASTERN QUES- ‘TION—VIEWS OF THE DUKE DECAZES—HASTE OF THE ITALIAN GOVERNMENT—THE PECULIAR POLICY OF THE NORTHERN POWERS—-A BUB- SIAN VIEW OF ENGLISH POLICY. Loxpox, July 21, 1876, In accordance with Earl Derby’s announcement yesterday a few copies of the document contaiming the correspondence on the Eastern question were dis- tributed to-night, The correspondence extends from January 30 to July 17, and includes 544 documents, covering 376 printed pages. The Eastern correspondence recapitulates England's reasons for refusing to assent to the Berlin memoran- dum and other matters, the substanve of which is already known. The despatch from Mr. Adams, the first Secre- tary of the British Legation at Paris to Earl Derby, dated the 22d of May, recounts a conversation with the Duke Decazes, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, in which the latter said he bad declined to accede im- mediately to the Russian proposition; that, as England bad refused to adhere to the Memorandum, the tive other Powers should proceed without her to urge the Berlin recommendations on the Porte. The Duke Decazes said he intended to wait, in the hope that Eng- land would reconsider her refusal, APPREHENSIONS QF THE DUKB DECAZES. ‘The despatch from Earl Derby to Secretary Adams, datea 27th of May, states that the Marquis d’Harcourt, the French Minister to England, had communicated a letter, in which tbe Duke Decazes said he could not conceal his apprehensions caused by England's refusal, in consequence of which the Porte would probably re- fuse to accept the Berlin note. The Duke Decazes thought the only course would bo a conierence, but be would not propose this unless previousiy assured that England would agree to it, A CONFERENCE USELESS. Earl Derby replied that be saw no objection to a con- ference in principle, but it would be useless unless the Powers were agreed beforehand. Other despatches show the irritation at one time ex- isting between Russia and England, ITALIAN VIEW OF THR‘SITUATION. Thus Sir Augustus B, Paget, the British representa- tive in Italy, in a despatch dated the 28th of May, recounts a conversation with Melegari, the Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs, The latter hoped that England would not dissuade the Porte {rom accepting the Berlin proposals, Molegari stated that these proposals, though presented by the three Northern Powors, were the work of the Russian Cabinet. Russia only would therefore make it a point of honor, if the Porte accepted the proposals, to obtain the submission of the insurgents, Russia was unquestionably able to do this, because of her im- mense influence with the insurgents. Melegari was convinced that Russia was sincerely desirous of ter- minating the insurrection and bad po ambitious views, Sir Augustus Paget replied that, as England objected to the Berlin plan, it was impossible for her to do more than advise Turkey to follow the course most consist- ent with her own interests, A NEW SYSTEM OF DIPLOMACY. Sir Augustus added that the Northern courts had in- vented a totally new system of diplomacy. They drew up their measures together without tho least consulta- tion with the other Powers, and then summoned those other Powers by telezraph to accept or bo responsible for the consequences. It seemed, however, that the governments adopting this summary proceed- ure were really responsible for the absence of united action, ITALIAN HASTE, He was struck with the haste with which Italy in this instance, a8 algo in that of the Count Andrassy note, had rushed imto views which she could hardly bavo had time to examine. As for Russia feeling it a point of honor to secure the submission of the insur- gents, precisely the same language had beon used in regard tothe Andrassy note. if Austria and Russia had really exercised their influence, pacification would probably bave been already attained. RUSSIAN VIEW OF ENGLISH POLICY. On the 30th of May Count Schouvalof, the Russian Minister to Great Britain, communicated a letter to Earl Derby, conveymg the views of the Russian Foreign Office on English policy. The letter complains that Mr. Eltiott, the English, Ambassador to Turkey, seemcd to approve of the Sofa demonstration and hints that Englan@ had promaturoly communi- cated the Berlin proposals to Turkey. ENGLISN CAUTION. On the 3ist of May Earl Derby warns Minister Elliott to be watchful, less under the pretext of protecting the Christians a proposal is made to summon the fleets to Constantinople. He orders him to immediately in- form the home government if such a proposal is mooted, so that they may determine upon their course, Subsequent despate‘es show that the Admirals of ali the Powers wero instructed to observe the treaty re strioting the entry of men-ol-war to the Dardanelles, CONDITIONS OF ENGLAND'S NEUTRALITY, On the 1st of July Count Schouvaloif asked Earl Derby whether England intended to observe a strict non-intervention in the war between Turkey and Servia. Earl Derby replied undoubtedly yes, but it must be clearly understood that the English govern- ment enter into no engagement to continue to abstain from intervention in an event (which, however, I can- not assume as probable) of a different course being par- sued by other Powers, THE LONDON TIMES ON THE POLICY OF ENG- LAND AND RUSSIA. Loxpon, July 22, 1876, The Times this morning, reviewing the diflerences be- tween England and Russia manifested by the East- ern correspondence, says the policy of non. intervention was adopted by England obviously because of a rooted indisposition to intervene; but it is difficult to believe Russia had any other motive tor reserve than an inability to discern bow to interiere effectively. ENGLAND. SIL EDWARD W. WATKINS ANXIETY APOUT THE SIOUX WAR—HE SUGGESTS THE MEDIATION OF THE BBITISH GOVERNMENT. Loxvox, July 21, 1876. In the Houte of Commons this afternoon Sir Edward Wilham Watkin asked Mr. James Lowther, one of ihe un- aer secretaries for the Colonial Department, if ne could give any information regarding the conflict between the United States troojs and the Sioux Indians, many of which trive are British subjects, and whether tho or- igin of the conflict was not a breach of a treaty regard- ing the Indian reservation and subsidies, which may provoke widespread antagonism between the Indians and whites on bot: American and British territory, He asked whether the government proposed to tender its good offices in the interest of the Indian subjects of Great Britain and of humanity. THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT INTRRPERE. Mr. Lowther replied that so far no information had been received regarding the conflict, and be could not express an opinion as to its origin or possible con- sequences, He bad no information tending to show that any British subjects are connected with these events. Asat present advised the government has no intention to interfere, THE BALHAM MYSTERY—THE BODY OF CAPTAIN RICARDO TO BE EXHUM£D—FURTHRR INVES- TIGATIONS. Loxpox, July 21, 1576, The mysterious death of Mr. Bravo, tho barrister, known as the “Balham Mystery,” continues to occupy public attention, CAPTAIN RICARDO’S BODY TO RE EXHUMED, The Manchester Guardian’s London correspondent | says:—'There is an extraordinary report gaining cur. rency that the government bas thought it expedient to apply for the exhumation of the body of the late Cap- tain Ricardo.

PROBABILITY OF NEGOTIATIONS FOR A NEW Y TREATY. Loxpox, July 22, 1876, The Standard says:—‘We are warranted in inferring from Earl Derby's ianguage, when asking Lord Gran- ville to postpone bis extradition motion in the House of Lords, thas there 1s a prospect of negotiations for a renewal of the treaty on a more satisfactory basis. Minister Pierrepont must either have made some dis- tinct proposals or stated his belief that he would soon receive instractions to doso. It is probable the turn matters hare taken may even prevent a discussion during the present session.” OFFER OF THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT TO SURRENDER A CRIMINAL UNDER THE PRO- VISIONS OF THE TREATY—RESYONSE OF PRESIDENT GRANT.

Robeson’s Impeachment the Football of Politicians, FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixatox, July 21, 1876 THE ROBISON IMPEACHMENT A SULJECT OF POLITICAL INTRIGUE—POSITION OF MR. GLOVER. The proposition to demand the impeachment of Secretary Robeson seems to have become the subject of whatlooks like an unworthy intrigue, it is under- stood that Mr. Glover, chairman of tlie Real Katate Pool Committee, believed that in the course of the com- mittee’s investigations sufticient tacts had been dis- covered to demand a report to the House accompanied by a proposition for impeachment; that such a report was drawn up and had the consent of the other demo- | cratic members of the committee; that certain law points wero submitted to seycral mem- | bers of the Judiciary Committee, who pronounced them good, and that thereupon it was determined to present this report to the House on Wednesday, accom- panied by resolutions of impeachment. But before tho appointed time came other counsels prevailed. Several members of tho Nayal Committee opposed tho proposed action of Mr, Glover, and after much dis- Sussion it seeins now to bo determined to let the j charges rest suspended over the head of Mr. Robeson until next winter, which moans that they aro to be used as political capital in the fall campaign, the Secretary being allowed no opportunity oo defend himself before a competent tri- bunal. It is unfair plan will pot yet certain that this very bo adopted. It is only just to Mr. Glover to say that he bas strougiy opposed it, | and does so still He believes that the evidence beforo his committee gravely compromises Mr. Robeson, and, #0 believing, he holds that it ought to be reported to the House, in order that it shall have the opportunity to decide whether, in its opinion, the Secretary ought to be impeached, and ifso, then to afford him what justice demands, a speedy trial and the opportunity, ‘if he can, to show his innoconer, The other course of making no immediate report to the House or of making it in such a manner as to leave the House no opportunity of discussing and expressing {ts judgment on the value or bearing of the evidence, scems to be conspicuously unfair and unworthy, It ts noticed with surprise hero that several democratic journalz, which have hitherto denounced Secretary Robeson, now denounce Mr. Glover and appear to de- tire to prevent his report coming before the House. THE EXTRADITION QUESTION—EARL DERBY'S ANNOUNCEMENT IN THE HOUSE OF LORDS A BURIRISE.

Wasnxaroy, July 21, 1876, A SENSATION ON THE CURRENCY QUESTION AN- TICIPATED—ONE OF THE HARD MONEY MEM- BERS OF THE BANKING AND CURRENCY Com- MITTEE GOES OVER TO THE ENEMY—A RE- PORT IN. FAVOR OF A REPEAL OF THE RE- SUMPTION CLAUSE PROBABLE-—-VIEWS OF THE DISAFFECTED MEMBER. The session of Congress, whether it lasts a week or a nionth longer, is going to wind up with a sensation on the currency question. The reason of tnis is that the dead lock im the Banking and Currency Committee has been broken -by a change, or rather a modification, of opinion on the part of Mr. Scott Wike, of Illinois, who bas recently intimated to his associates of bis committee that he is now prepared to vote for a repeal of that portion of the Resumption act which fixes a date for resumption. The importance of this concession tosthe soit money ele- ment of the House by Mr. Wike will be porceived when the following facts are taken into considera- tion:—The Banking and Currency Committec, compris- tng eleven members when all are present, bas been from the beginning of the session divided into ive hard money men, made ap of the tour republican members aud Mr. Wike, and five soft money demo- crate, mado up of all the reut of the committee, except Mr. Randall Gibson, whose duties in connection with the committeo investigating the Custom House abuses at New Orleans have kept him away from Washington and from the sessions of the committeo most of the time. From week to week the ten other members have met and conferred, but without other result than to find they were evenly divided—five for and five against repeal. When Mr, Gibson got back, a few weeks ago, he soou put himself on the reeord as in favor of hard money, and the soit money men were about to give up all hope of doing anything in furtherance of their policy, when Mr, Wike, under the pressure of a powertul force brought to bear upon him from his constituency in Lltnois, yielded his bard money opinions so tar to consent, if calicd apon, to vote for repeal to the extent indicated above. This chango gives the repeal mon on the committee a wnajority of one, and as now constituted the hard money* minority will be made up of tho four republicans and Mr, Randall Gib- son The change furthermore enables the advocates of repeal to get the question fairly before the House, because, under ® modification of the rales madea month or so since, the privilege was granted the Bank- ing and Currency Committee of reporting at any time. Heretofore all resolutions in favor of repealing the Resumption act, or any part of it, bad cither to go to the foot of the calendar, there to be the rules, This suspension required a two-thirds vote, avote the resolution never succeeded in getting and never could got with the present complexion of tho House, But with Mr. Wike gone over to the repeal side, the committee may at their next meeting agree to report in favor of repeat of tho date for resumption, and Mr, Cox, the chairman, will report forthwith to the House at the very first opportunity, whereupon a ma- jority voto, which the soft money men have always shown themselves possessed of im covery con- test on the floor of the House, will demand tho previews question and bring the matter to a conclusion, This, at least, is the expectation now, but with the assurance of victory reached in these final days of the session, it may be that the soft money men Will hesitate to go to the extreme they have advo. cated so earnestiy when they were conscious they were unable to do anything. The Western inflationists, however, will push their brethren with all their might for the purpose of reaping the fruits of an inflation pol- icy In the coming elections, and the battle im the House cannot, theretore, be delayed more than a few days, Mr. Wike, in the course of an interview this even. ing, admitted the modification of his views, anc said, in explanatio® that the pressure brought to bear upon him by his constituents was such that, interpreting his duty wccording to the standard of a representative of the people, he should consider himself bound cither to resign his seat tn Congress or defer to their wishes, The nominating convention meets in this district next Wednesday, and bo had been plied ali the woek with Jet! nd telegrams trom bis friends, asking him @ recoguize the scatiments of bis peoplo, He did House.

The Banking and Currency Com- mittee would meet as usual on Monday, but he did not believe its members would offer a report to be made as yet on the subject of repeal. He thought it was more likely to be reached on Tuesday, when it would be at- tached as an iudependent clanse to the bill of Mr. Bland, of Missouri, which proposes the issue of gold aud silver certilcates by the Treasury against deposite of bullion. The trouble here would be that the repeal matier might Le ruled out of order as not germane to the subject of the bill, Mr. Wike went on to say that before the 5t. Louis Convention met he had voted with the hard money men, because he believed it would be presumption for the democrats in Congress to dictate a financial policy to the Convention, but now that the Convention bas done @s work and enunciated a policy which his constituents interpreted as mean- ing that Congress should accede to the demands of ihe people for a repeal or modification of the Resumption aet, be bad either to surrender his trust as a represen- tative of the people or acquiesce in their demands, Even froin the beginning he had not been a believer in the wisdom of cudeavoring to resume ata fixed date.
