No new phase of any consequence is presented hy the despatches from the Continent, bat alarmists in Vieuna are con- tinually sending sensational reports of increased @ctivity in Russian military circles. 2 INCLINING TO PEACE, Whether these rumors of Russia hastening her warlike preparations are true or not isa question that must remain a secret for some little time longer, but correspondents who are usually well informed incline to hopes of peace. These hopes are based mainly on the OCzar's supposed desire to avoid war, and on the eflorts recently made by Russia to convene a European congress with a | view to making a further effort to bring about a peaceful solution of the Turkish difficulty, BISMARCK OPPOSED TO A EUROPEAN CONGRESS, Everybody whose opinion 1s worth taking into account on European politics knows that Bismarck really holds the key cf the Eastern position, and that on his decision must depend in a great meas- ure the action that Russia will finally take. It is, therefore, looked upon as a fact of great signifi- cance that this proposal of Russia for a general European congress finds no favor in Berlin. It is now well understood that the German Cabinet has expressed its disapproval of the project, so that the whole question remains just as it was left by the Conference. ' PRINCE GORTSCHAKOFF IN BAD HEALTH, A correspondent in Berlin telegraphs that St. Petersburg advices contirm the reports recently circulated of Prince Gortschakof’s failing health. | Tiis condition is so bad that his death is expected to take place soon, and people are already speculaiing gs to who shall succeed him. The choice will prob- ably be between Counts Orloff and Schouvaloft. THE TRIPLE ALLIANCE AGAIN. The three Emperors are again undertaking to lead in the Eastern question, and the policy they | will inaugurate within the next few days is a sub- ject of some anxiety here. Bismarck advocates a close friendship with England as the surest guar. antee for the maintenance of a general peace. It is so dificult, however, to know whether Bis- | marck’s utterances are intended to express his real | meaning or merely to cover up some ulterior design that time alone can tell what policy the wily Ger- man Chancellor will see fit to adopt. MR, GLADSTONE ON THE EASTERN. QUESTION, The most important utterance outside govern- Mental circles on the Eastern question as viewed from the British standpoimt was made by ex, | Premier Gladstone, in his speech at Taunton to-day. In the course of his remarks he said:— “We ought to mind our own business, and why we should mind the Eastern question is because we have chosen to muke it our own question. It was made our business under circumstances which no true-hearted Englishman wiil disow:, A FURTHER REPORT FROM MR, SCHUYLER, “I have had within afew days the honor of a letter from Mr. Schuyler, United States Secretary | of Legation and Consul General at Constantinople, > in which he says he is about to make a further re- | port on the trials and executions in, and on the | the state of Bulgaria. ‘1 think you will find in it,’ le writes, ‘abundant confirmation of the remark which Selem Effendi took offence.’ THE TULK HAS NO CAPACITY FOR REFORM. 1 quote this because those who wish to lull the opie of England into ignobie slumber are fond of fing there bas been exaggeration on this sub- There has been no exaggeration, except the geration that the Turks had in them the capac nd desire of reform.

ATTITUDE OF PERSIA. A telegram trom Tcheran says:—“In view of Eng- land's neutrality Persia is likely to observe a Pacific policy toward Turkey unless great pressure is exercised by Russia.” IGNATIEFF'S DEPARTURE. General Ignatieff, the Russian Ambassador, left Constantinople to-day, having been delayed by bad weather in the Black Sea. THE QUEEN'S ELDEST GRANDSC. Queen Victoria has conferred the Order of the Garter on her eldest grandson, Prince Frederic Wilhelm Victor Albert, of Prussia, son of the Crown Prince of Germany and of Princess Victoria, the Queen’s eldest daughter, who attains his majority to-day, having been born on the 27th of January, 1859. There were great rejoicings at the Berlin court, the Crown Prince (Unser Fritz) being deeply moved when his son was invested with this high Britannic order of knighthood. As this young man is in the direct line of succession to the Kaisership, TILDEN ABROAD, American topics have furnished material for sev, eral editorials in the London papers this week. The Times questions the wisdom of the prosecution of Mr. Tilden at so lateaday. In case the charges OUR TRADE WITH ENGLAND—BEEF. can trade with England, especially the importa- tions of American beef, The heavy importations have reduced the price at Liverpool and other are apparently fighting against the inevitable. They buy up American beef, selling it-as “prime Scotch.” Itisas good as English beef and brings the same price. JOHN BULL DISCOURAGED. An editorial in this morning's Times reads like a thanksgiving article after the writer had ban- quetted on American beef. It regrets, however, that the balance of trade is disarranged by the American tariffs, English vessels that bring hither full cargoes of beef and corn ate compelled to take cargoes of salt back to America because hard- wares and other manufactures are virtually refused admittance. It refers regretfully to the good old times of the past—the period of English commercial prosperity, when Amcrica exported raw goods and England returned the manafactured articles. Then, sighs the Times, the division of labor was perfect. It longs for the time when re- daced tariim will enable America to avail herself more of English services, GENEVA 8AD ALSO, In confirmation of this doleful English view the falling off in the Swiss export of watches to the United States—-thirty per cent in 1875 and forty- three per cent in 1876—shows the growth of Ameri- can competition with European manufacturers. SPORTING RULES. Racing circles are much exercised over the pro- posed resolution submitted by Lord Falmouth ex- clading foreign bred foals, yearlings and two year olds from weight for age races, unless such horses are bred in countries which admit British horses on equal terms. FRENCH BXCLUSIVENESS, free trade principles—that 1s, open to ali national. ties. French bred horses have frequently carried off the choicest prizes of the British turf. Notwith- standing this the French Jockey Club has persisted in devarring English horses from similar privileges. Lord Falmouth’s resolution, if carried, excludes France from future avengements of Waterloo on Epsom Downs. AMERICAL LIBBRALITY. Lord Falmouth writes a letter laying the case be- fore the public and praising the United States as the sole exception to the rule of exciusiveness.

Mr. Labouchere’s new journal, 7ruth, for instance compliments Miss Kate Munroe on the sinaiiness of her leet, “both together hardly filling an English lady's shoe.” The critic then, who has to stoop 80 low for his interesting subject, goes to the “last”? in earnest by adducing the statistics of a Partstan bootmaker to show the relative size of ladies’ fect.

AN ARCTIC INVESTIGATION, The undercurrent of popular dissatisfaction at the failure of the Nares expedition to accomplish their allotted task has forced the authorities wo suspend, in a measure, the heaping of honors on 1 the heads of officers and men of the crews of the Alert and Discovery. THR SCURVY QUESTION, It will be remembered that Captain Nares in his oMcial report to the Admiraity mentions the Prevalence of scurvy among his crews, and that their eMiciency for sledge work was s0 reduced by that dreadful disease that hp did not attempt to remain another winter in the Arctic regions. The fact that the expedition was known to have been well supplied with anti-scorbutics, and that several experienced doctors accompanied it caused people to wonder how scurvy should be permitted $o attack and disable such a well provided party. This surprise has now penetrated into the official mind, and alter all the feasting and eulogistic speech making of admirals and Aldermen over the | miraculous escapes and heroic decds of Nares and | his men a committee of inquiry is sitting to find out why the scurvy broke out among the crews. A REPORT TO PARLIAMENT. It is the intention of the committee when all the evidence is on record, and it is coming in rapidly, | to submit the whole matter to Parliament. This will perhaps involvea reversal of public opinion with regard to Captain Sir George Nares. To judge by his oficial report that oficer was benighted in the Arctic regions only to be knighted on his return to London atter one of the greatest failures on record. | A MEDICAL SCAPEGOAT. Dr. Colan, of the Arctic expedition, has been under acloud ever since the return of the Alert and Inscovery. The authorities and the unthinking public have condemned him for negligence of duty, in not adopting measures for the preservation of health among the crews of the two ships. The honors and decorations which have been heaped upon all the other ofticers have been withhe!d from him. But under all this injustice he has loyally Dreserved silence, and has refused to utter a word that, while clearing his own record, might stain his commanders. TARDY JUSTICE. Now, however, Captain Nares comes forward and testifies that Dr. Colan, of the Alert, recommended that rations of lime juice should be incinded among the stores carried by the several sledge parties that started northward and along the coast lines tor exploration. Captain Nares disregarded the advice of Dr. Colan, for the reasons he assigned at the dinner given recently at the Mansion House by the Lord Mayor of London to the officers and men of the Arctic expedition. He now officially performs atardy act of justice in acquitting Dr. Colan of all blame, virtually placing the responsi- bility on his own shoulders, where it should prop. | erly rest, AFRICAN DISCOVERY--CAMERON.

The break-up of the Constantinopie Conference, which has left England in an unenviable mood Austria in a state of uncertainty, which has put Russia under the weighty responsibility of choosing ® hazardous advance across the Danube or an especially tnglorious retreat trom her position of armed menace. which is bringing Turkey to her knees, gives pleasure only to Germany and oddly enough to France. The pleasure of each arises irom a different source. Bismarck 1s revenged in the failure of the Conference for England's rejéction of the Berlin memorandum, and sees things now drifting whither he wishes them. France has little real interest in the matters immediately at issue; but she takes full comfort out of the fact that she appears for the first time since the war of 1870 be- fore Europe in the acknowledged position of a great Power to be consulted on all momentous issues. Her position in the Conference has tickled French vanity not @ little, and, small as it seems, is re- garded with higher complacency by Frenchmen than the really stupendous achievements of the payment of the five milliards indemnity and the reorganization of the army, which tested in the manwuvres last autumn. still tickle was fairly You can the French people with a straw. A GERMAN REMINDER. Taking all the circumstances into consideration, the leaders of public op:nion in the Legislature and the press have spoken with marked sobriety con- cerning the resurrection of France, but they have need of all their self-restraint. Germany hus watched the process of French growth with ill- concealed anger. The regret that the harsh terms on which peace was bought by the humbled French were not made harsher still is frequently expressed in oMectal circles in Berlin, and occasionally in the German newspapers. Within the past week or two significant hints have cropped out from Ger- many more or less to the effect that France was giving herself too much airs, and that she must be more careful. The wolf and the lamb are suggested by all these Ger- man complaints aud covert threats, which have nothing more important behind them than the kmiing of a German sailor by a drunken French matelot in an Eastern port. “N’tmporte,” said a French general officer to me yesterday, ‘we are not. Teady to be eaten yet, bu. we are tougher mutton than we were.” RUSSIA'S POSITION. A rumor has reached here that Prince Gortscha- koff, the Russian Chancellor, has tendered his resig- nation. He favors an energetic policy and the dec- laration of war against Turkey. The Czar Alexan- der is said to be startied at the idea of the Empire's isolated position in such an event, but, notwith- standing, hesitates to accept the resignation. Count Schouvaiofl is named as the probable suc- | cessor of Gortschakorl. MILD WEATHER, The mild temperature, of whose delights I have | before informed you, continues. The knowing storks have not migrated trom the south of France to Africa this year, those thougitful birds seeing further into the weather than the most experi- enced meteorologists. Another sign of the mild season is the appearance of the May bug in the en- virons of Paris. Thisis not bad for January. The French authorities have closed the shooting season for partridges, and have thus anticipated St. Valen- tine’s Day by nearly a month. THE POPE'S HEALTH. Flying rumors from the Vatican have agitated the religious world here respecting the health of His Holiness the Pope, Some reports have spoken of him as dying and others as dead. A REASSURING BULLETIN, Aspecial despatch from the Hera.p’s Roman correspondent, dated to-night, however, sets these stories at rest and will reassure the troubled faith- ful. It says: The Pope has quite recovered from his recent indisposition and 1s now tn excellent spirits, His Hoiiness received the visits of several carcinals and prelates on Friday and this (Satur- day) morning.” WIS ILLNESS. ‘The tness which gave rise to so much solicitude | | Was @ strain in the back, resulting from severe | coughing.
