-—_————————_—________., - Provided for in the protocol. Europe had confined \self to stipulating that the Great Powers, if they Were disappointed in their hopes of seeing the Porte ‘tarry out the reforms energetically, reserved the right to point out in common the means which they should think proper to secure the welfare of the populations and tue Anterests of general peace. Thus the European Cabl- mets had forescen the contingency that the Porte would not fullil its promises, but not that it would re- Ject the demands of Europe, At the same time Lord Derby’s declaration had established that, since Her Britannic Majesty's government only consented to give its signature to the protocol in the interests of general Peace, it was to be understood from the outset that in the event of this object, namely, mutual disarmament and peace between Russia and Turkey not being obtained, the protocol Should be regarded as null and void. The Porte’s rejection of the protocol and the motives upon mhich it is based leave no hope that the Porte will ‘accede to the wishes and counsels of Europe. They exclude every guarantee for the execution of reforms, and render peace with Montenegro and the execution of the conditions by which disarmament and pacifica- tion could be brought about impossible, Under these circumstances the success of any attempt at compor- wise 1s excluded, aud there remains only the alterna- tive to allow that state of things to continue which the Powers declared incompatible with their interests and those of Europe, or to try by cocrejve measures to obtain that which the unanimous efforts of the Powers failed to obtain by means of an understanding. ‘My exalted master has resolved to undertake that which he had invited the great Powers to do in com- mon with bim. His Majesty has ordered his armies to croas tho frontier of Turkey. “You will pring this resolution to the cognizance of the government to which you are accredited. “In fuifillg the duty which is imposed upon nim by the Interests of Russia, whose pouccable development ts impeded by constant troubles in the Kast, His Majesty 1s convinced that he at the same time re- sponds to the views of Europe. GORTSCHAKOFF.” “WORWARD!?? The Vienna correspondent of the Hrraip telegraphs thatthe advance of the Russian avant garde began yesterday morning, crossing tbe Pruth on six bridges. Several detachments of Russian troops croesed the frontier, near Ungheni, at five o'clock yesterday morning. In the House of Lords yesterday alternoon Earl Derby stated that 17,000 Russian troops crossed | the frontier Monday night. Twelve hundred mounted Cossacks passed through Kivilia, near Bucharest, on their way to Kalafat on Saturday evening. A regi- ment of Roumanian cavalry has started for Kalafat. Great excitement prevails at Bucharest. THE CZAR TO 1S SOLDIERS. At the review of the troops by the Czar at Tiraspol on Monday His Majesty the Czar, addressing the of™- cers, said:— “I felt grief at sending you to the field of battle, and, therefore, delayed action as long as possible, hesitating to shed your blood. But now that the honor of Russia tp attacked I am convinced you will all, to the last man, know how to vindicate it. May God be with you. [ wish you complete success, Farewell until you r turn.”? RUSSIA'S GREETING TO ROUMANIA, The Grand Duke Nicholas ina proclamation to the Roumanians says: “By order of the Czar, my army, destined to combat the Turks, ers your territory, which has before joy- fully received Russian armies. I declare we come as friends, desirous only of turthering your welfare and hoping to ind among you such noble sentiments as your ancestors displayed toward Russian armies in former wars against the Turks, The passage ot the Russian army through your territory will occupy only a short time, I invite you to pursue your usual avocations and provide our army with means to satisfy their requirements, [ have taken measures to enable the military treasury to pay without delay for all purchases, The army will ‘yowhere disturb your tranquillity. **Roumanians, our ancestors shed their blood for your liberty, and I believe we have a right to require your support forthe army, which is traversing your ter: ‘ory for the sole purpose of helping the anhappy Christians of Turkey, whose distress has aroused the pity of Russia and all Europe.” ROUMANIA EXCUSES HERSELF. The Roumanian government, in reply to the Turkish Grand Vizier’s despatch requesting the Prince to make arrangements with Abdul Kerim, Commander-in-Chiof ofthe Turkish army, to prevent the passage of the Russian army, has declared that such a step is too serious to be determined by the executive power alone. The Roumanian Chambers will be assembled on the ‘26th inst. to examine the question, MOLDAVIA’S WELCOME. The Metropolitan of Moldavia welcomed the Czar at Togbeni, The Czar roplied:— Icommend myself ana my army to the prayers of the orthodox. 1 bope to be met with friendly senti- ments in Roumania, Daring the review at Unghent the greatest enthus: asm prevailed among the Russian troops and among the Russian and Roumanian spectators, The Empe- ror’s carriage was escorted to the station by the crowd, amid the cncers of the soldiers and the people. At the station the Czar said to the officers, ‘May God protect you! Uphold the honor of the Russian army.” On his return to Kischeneff a deputation from the town offered the Emperor bread and salt. To-night ed and great enthusiusm pre- GOODRY COMPLIMENTS TO TURKEY. Prince Gortschakof has sent the following note, dated April 24, to the Turkish Chargé a’Affairee at St, Petersburg :- “Earnest negotiations between the imperial govern- ment aod the Porte for a durable pacification not hay- ing led to the desirea accord, my august master sees himself compelled, to his regret, to havo recourse to force of arms. Be therefore so kind as to inform your government that from to-day Russia con- nders herself in a state of war with the Porta, Tho Grst consequence of this is the rupture of diplomatic relations, £ request you to kindly inform me of the namber of persons composing the Otto- man Embassy hero in order that you may be fur. Dished with the necessary passports. Ottoman sub. Jects residing in Russia are at liberty, if they desire, to Jeave the country unmolested, Those who should Prefer to remain may consider themselves assured of the ful! protection of the laws,’” The Turkish Chargé bas written to Prince Gort. sebakofl a note taking leave of him, The members of the Turkish embassy at St, Petersburg accordingly took le: yesterday. It s6 said that Mr. Layard in- formed the Porte that England bad guaranteed the in- tegrity and independence of the Ottoman Empire only under the conditions laid down by the treaties, stipu- lating for the exercise of control by the Powers, Tho Torte having contested this right, it has forfeited the benefits guaranteed by those treaties, and England could not intervens with arms in its behalf. The Russian Telegraphic Agency says that the language used by Mr. Layard at Constantinople bas dis- bipated all illusions and 18 now causing regret, which, of course, istoo late. The Powers do not appear dis- posed to comply with the Porte’s desire for an attempt At mediation at St, Petersburg, as the dispute Is not a Private one between Russia and the Porte, bat a rap- turo between Turkey and Europe. A STARTLING SPRECH BY GENERAL VON MOLTKE, In yesterday's sitting of the German Parliament the items of the war estimates, which had been referred to the Budget Committee, came up for discussion, | The increased grant for 104 new captaincies gave rise | to a protracted debate, | Genera! Vou Moltke insisted on the necessity of the | grunt, He saié he wisted fora long peace, bat the | Vimes did not permit such hope, Ou the contrary, the | ime was not far distant when every gov. | ernment would bo compelled to strain all | its strength for securing iis existence, | The reason lor this was the regrettable distrust of gov- eroments toward cach other, France had made great | ttrides tn her defences Uncommonty large mastes | of troops Were at present between Paris and the Ger- mau frontier, Kverything France did for her army re teived the undivided approval of her people. She was decidedly in advance of Germany in baving her cadres tor war ready in times ®f peace, Germany could not Avoid a measure destined to compensate for it, | Additional extracts from General Voo Moltke’s speech have been received here, Tho General stated that the French military budget exceeded the German | by 150,000,000/, a year, exclusive ot extraordinary | grants, He would not discuss the question whether | France intended to bear this enormous burden for a | Prolonged period, oF whether she was arming tor def. | wile purposes only; but be must needs say shat as | much a8 he desired peace he did not believe in ix, The | French journals were full of spite and hatred against Germany, France remembered now many times she had invaded disunited Germany. The French apprehended similar treatment now that Germany was united. Hence the haste, zeal and uncommon intelli- gence with which the colossal work of French army Teorganization was being completed, Hence the locat- Ing of excessively lurge; numbers of French troops, especially cavalry aud ery, between Paris and the German frontier, # measare which Germany would, sooner or later, be obliged to reciprocate. In France the army was the pride of all political parties, Its.defeats were forgotten and its future was regarded with confidence, In Germany there was a marked disposition to be niggardly toward the army. The Rew captaincies proposed were intended to prepare 122 Important officers in peace for the work they would have todo in war. Depend upon it these captains would hay: 'y little spare time for amuse- ment if they were appointed. ‘Tho increased grant tor captaincies was then adopted. The progress, centre and socialist parties voted ‘against it. LORD DERBY ON THE WAR, In the House of Lords last night the Ear! of Derby, replying to a question put by Ear! Gray, said :— “Some will doubtless say if we had taken some other course the result of the negotiations might have been different. Throughout the negotiations 1 bave found on the part of the Porte a deep-seated conviction that, make what concessious they might, sooner or later war would be forced ‘upon them. It is not for me to say whether that opinion was right or wrong; but that being the fecling of the Porte it was impossible for us to bring about an understanding. Looking at all the circumstances with the light of ex- perience, | do not see that any other course than that which we adopted, would have had a more successtul 1 believe that in endeavoring to intain peace, the conditions that actually existed. we were engaged in the solution of an impo-sible problem.”’ TURKRY’S DEFENCE, A correspondent on board a Danube steamer reports that the Turks have’ made a great movement from Widdin toward Rustchuk in boats towed by steamers. It is reported, however, that they were brought back by night. The Tarkish preparations for the defence of the Danube by means of gunboats, iron-clads, &c., are most formidable, The Turkish troops are well armed and clothed, and are in good spirits and condition, al- though dysentery has appeared among them, The Turkish ambassador at Vienna, when communicating to Count Andrassy tho Grand Vizier’s note to Rou: mania, expressed the opinion that Roumania would merely protest against, not resist, Turkish occupation at Kalafat, Safvet Pachu yesterday seni out a despatch to the represontatives of Turkey abroad, informing them that the Russian Charge «’ Affaires had lett with tho whole staff, and that the Porte, while regretting the turn of affairs brought about by Russia. bad followed the example of that Powereand instructed ita repre- sentatives in Russia to break off relations with the im- | perial government.

Wasnincron, April 24, 1877. Messrs, Wayne McVeagh, General Hawley, C. B. Lawrence, J. C. Brown and John Harlan, the Ove gen- tlemen constituting the famous Louisiana Commis- sion, arrived im Washington early this morn- ‘pg, and ip tendering thei: report to the President acquitted themselves finally of the mission with which they had been in- trusted, Tho report is preserved by the President, in connection with the papers and documents of the case heretofore transmitted to him, anda with them will be given to the press to complete the history of the Louisiana adjustment, CMARACTER OF THX REPORT, This closing report 1s simply a succinct account of what the Commission did in pressing to a conclusion the enterprise of restoring the State of Louisiana to its proper relations with the national government and the other States, This purpose was kept steadily in view throughout tho negotiations conducted by the Commission and was the secret of the succe: which crowned thelr efforts. The commission had bul one course to pursue--namely, to secure a single lawful legislative body out of the two legislative bodies which each claimed to be jawiul, This end once secured, the difficulty was of easy solution, lay in the or the people themselves, The President gave the commission the key to the great problem of adjusting the difficulty when ho suggested that a com- plete legislative body of recognized legality would, when once constituted, settle toe question so far as the Federal executive was concerned. After this tbe trouble became domestic and localized and was taken out of the sphere of national importance, RESULTS OF THRIR Lanons, the rest of and hands The members of the commission feel quite bappy over the success which bas attended their labers, The interchange of courtesies with the President, who on- tertained them at an clegant dinner to-night, is doubt- less significant of a wider indorsement of what they have accomplished. In the course of conversation this evening ono of the commission summed up the results ol their undertaking as follows:— Itia now nearly three weeks since we set out for New Orleans, and, while at first the task before us of securing trom the partisanship and bitterness ot two Legislatures of questionable authority one Legisla- turo of undoubied authority, seemed very difficult and ot very doubtful issue, we did succeed in restoring to the State of Louisiana one lawful government, and to the President the constitutional medium of com- municating with the State, It was not expected that the success ot our work would be gratifying to all the politicians in Louisiana, but it 1s quite certain that it was a source of sincere congratulation to four-fifths of the citizens of voth parties and both races. Doubtless many good men in the North will regard the adjustment a jeopardizing the rights of the colored voters of the Stato, but forthe past eight years these same colored voters bave suffered unquestionably far more than they are likely to suffer in the future, THK POLICY OF HATR. The policy of illegal military interference and parti- gan bitterness and hatred having produced only a de- plorablecrop of murders and outrages, it isnot un- reasonable to ask thatthe policy of non-interference and conciliation should have a fair trial. If, aft such a trio}, it is found that the rights of the men e: franchised by the republican party are not secure, tho patriotism and sense of justice of the American peo- ple will be found adequate to securing them a ireo suffrage. PACKARD’S INTENTIONS, Asto Mr, Packard and his future intentions, | do not rious character arising out of him or them to Louisiana, The settlement we secured meets the approval of so large a majority of the peopie thore that any attempt to orcate disturb- ance would be simply malicious and would defeat its own ends. I believe Mr. ickard will surrender m a quiet and orderly manner, and abandon the State House to the one lawful Legislature of the State. Indeed, I do not seo that any other possivie course fs open tohim., Louisiana will then be simply in the condition of every other State in the Union, and the Louisiana question, which has so long di tracted the country, will quickly become a matter of the past, WITHDRAWAL OF THE TROOPS FROM THE VICIN- ITY OF THE STATE HOUSE—CFLEBRATION OF THE RESULT—ELECTION OF JUDGE SPOFFORD 48 UNITED STATES SENATOR, [BY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD.] New Onuwans, April 24, 1877, Precisely at twelve M. the troops oceupying the Orleans Hotel, adjoining the State House, marched out and proceeded on theireway to Jackson Barracks.

A Hight rain was falling at tho time, and the street in front was deserted with the exception of a tew soldiers from other commands who had gathered to witnoss their comrades’ departure. There was no ceremony and not the slightest demonstration. ADHERNETS OF A LOST CAUSE. A small group of negroes had gathered upon the ve- randah of the State House, who watched the departure of tho troops, preceded by a band of music, with gloomy interest.
