ihe Fequest of Roumanis, has declared the navigation » Of the Danube reopened. The use of the river to all apips Bet can get through the Bosphorus is now Brectically granted, subject to certain local restric- Wons and to the rules regarding contraband goods. A special despatch from Bucharest to the Politt- al Correspondence of. Vienna reports that “the Turks have captured the Roumanian war vessels Fulgerul and Stefano-ai-Mare. All the disposable Roumanian troops again moved yesterday in the direction of Kalafat. Refugee families are ar- riving at Bucharest from Galatz, Ibrail and Gturgevo. Tho Roumantan government will announce that Ibrail and Galatz will be spared from bombard- ment The Powers will endeavor to induce the Porte not to employ irregulars in enter- ‘mg Roumanian territory. The Standard’s Frank. fort despatch reports that disgracetul outrages wero perpetrated on Jews at Giurgovo, The corpses of tho ‘murdered lie unburied iu tho streets, Tho Turks have to face a curious alternative, They have reason to fear that the armies of Nicholas, instead of running serious risk, will prefor to exhaust Abdul Kerim’s strength by indefinite prolongation of the present State of things. On tho other hand, they are given to understand that Russia drifted unwillingly into hos- tilities and would be content to conclude peaco if tho honor of her arms was indicated by somo success and the realization of the protocol programme, Which of these courses will be followed depends upon the action of the Turks, IN ASIA MINOR, It is reported at Paris that in the fighting before Kars the Turks were driven back. The Times Vienna correspondent confirms the ni re ceived from Erzeroum that on both the 29th and 30th of April battles wero fought before Kars with strong detachments of Russians, but the Fesult is yet uuknown. The correspondent romarks that the news scoms to show that the Russians are mainly concentrating against Kars, their other two Noes of advance on Batoum and Ardahan being only of secondary importance, ENGLAND ALONE TO ANSWER RUSSIA. In the House of Lords yesterday afternoon Lord Derby, in reply ton question by Earl Granville, said the government had prepared an answer to tho Russian circular, wbich was approved by Her Majesty tho Queen. It was sent out last night, and will bo laid be- fore tho House as soon as delivered to Russia, In re- oswer the Times correspondent at Vienna The chances of the pour parlers between the Powers concerning an answer to the Russian note leading to any result seem vory smail indeed, From the begin- nig the French and ltalian cabinets appeared to think it impossible for the Powers to find any answer which should not involve either approval or condem- nation, and, to a certain extent, opposition to Russia’s proceedings. The exchange of ideas which has been Made between the Powers seems far more cal- culated to convert tho other Powers to the views of the Italian and French governments} than to change the opiwioa of these latter. If only some of the Powers could agree about an answer, it was almost better that ach should follow its own line of action than that ft totally precluding the Possibility of localizing the war, ‘This course will probably be taken, each Power following its own coun- cils, and other answering or not answering, according tw the exigencies of their own policy. Thus, as regards the Eastern question, Europe bus re- turn or is in a fair way to return, to a kind of patu: vate where no,solidarity is recognized, and where everyone consults his own interests only, Had Russia not foreseen this she probably would never ventured to take the line she has, The wholo urse of preceding events loaves little doubt that deeply seated distrust among the Powers has, from the Degioning, been the cause why the moderating coun- seis of tho Powers could produce so little efect on Rossia. Not one Power felt sure of finding a trust- worthy ally. There was not a single Power who did Bot suppose every other Power capable, if not of co- operating with Russia for its own special interests, at Jeass of allowing Russia to have more or less of her own wi on tho understanding that its special interests should not suffer thoreby, Had it not teen for this suspicion the chances are that the solidarity of all those ondangered interests would have been recognized before now, and precautions ponte broiess palten, AB bein ese it may well be jrom sheer selfish shoriai oF Reo another of these adverse Tene wit here jo carty on an uphill fight, or Europe will awake one morning with the din of a general conflict. As things look at present the British government will possibly be the only ono to return a reguiar offi. cial answer to Russia’s representation that sho is act- ing in the interest and according to the wishes of Eu- rope, Tho British answer may possibly indicate the limits within which England would not consider her interests threatened, and would therefore remain neutral. The resuit of ail this seems to be that, for the moment at least, there is an end to anything like con- cert, or even common ground of European policy, each power being intent upon its own interests, ENGLISH PREPARATIONS, Tho Admiralty have made inquiry of the anthorities ef Chatham Dockyard as to the earliest dato when tho tron-clad Temeraire, of eight guna, 8,412 tons and 7,000 horse power, and the iron corvetto Euryalus, of six. teen guns, 3,932 tons and 5,250 horse power, can bo Yeady for sea, According to instructions from the War Office the service companies of the Royal Engineers at the School of Military Engineormng hero are being mado up to their war strength, The ironclads Alexandra, Monarch, Switt- sure, Devastation and Hotspur, of the British 3fedit- erranean squadron, arrived at Corfu yesterday.

It tg naid that tho Southern democrats intend in- sisting on controlling the quostion of the Speakership of the next House, which, it wili be remembered, in the last Congrees they lett to their fellow demoorats in the North and West, with tho result of Mr, Kerr's election. They did this from a feeling that with their Tecent accession to power it woald, ip view of the Prosidevtial election, be good policy as well as in good taste to allow their claims asa majority of the dominant party in Congress to lie tm abeyance, but with the complete restoraion of the South to its constitutional place in the Union there are BOW NO sectional differences to be recognized. The country is a unit, and a candidate from the South has as good a right to the Speakership as one from the North, Hence it is proposed to run Mr. Goote, of Virginia, in opposition to Mr. Kandal! trom tho North and Mr, Morrison from tho West, and let the best man win in the caucus, The movement is said to have the support of Senator Gordos of Georgia, and to be undertaken out of {riend- ship to President Hayes, who would find a Southern Speaker a bewer supporter of bis policy than a North- ern democrat, CIVIL SERVICE REFORM AND THB INDIAN SUPPLIES—THE OPENING OF THE BIDS, Civil service reform is to penctrate the em of making selections from the proposals of Indian sup- plies, tho bids for which will be opened May 8 inst., at No 79 Walker street, Now York, instead of at No, @ Leonard street, herctofore advertised.

It is thought the compe- tition will be quite lively, and that from the recent war advance i prices the goods will not be got as cheap as last year.

NEW YORK TO NEW ROCHELLE. Along the Line. The “Tally Ho’ coach, Colonel Delancey Kane, Proprietor, made the first trip of the season of 1877 yesterday, and nowhere ip the world was ever a coach so enthusiastically welcomed, From the Brunswick Hotel, on Filth avenue, to the eheery Huguenot House, at New Rochelle, there was a continuous ova. tion to the skilled amateur whip and his ‘load,’ Right and Jeft fair women waived dainty handKer- chiefs, siout-lunged men shouted, laborers waived ‘their hats, little children tossed sunbonnets high in the air and ever und anon showered the ladies with flowers, while village after village sparkled in the holiday attire given them in honor of the occasion.

Ten o’clock, the advertised hour of startingon the matchless journey, found the “Tally Ho’ at its station in front of the Brunswick. Ringing cheers had greeted its appearance ten minutes before, as it rattled ap the avenue, and crowds were inspecting the team, grays and bays, which disarmed all tauit nding, Easily recog- nized was the Colonel, and the hand shakings from friends aided his muscle immensely for the work of handling bis horses. In good season Sr. George G. Haven with his natty French built drag whirled to the scene of excitemont with his bays and grays—all quality, and porfect in their paces—to accompany the “Tally Ho’? through the park. The avenue was gay with cquipages and promenaders—such a collection of pretty, well-dressed women, in carriages, ou horse- back, or on foot—so many rich turn- outs of every conceivable description, and so matchless display of horseflesh was never betoro mot with under similar circumstances, And above all, the loyli- ness on the coach in rich attire made a beautiful cep- tre piece to a picture charming as it was novel, The reliable clock under the porch of the Brunswick pointed to ten, The smiling guard was in his placo, the lads at the heads of the leaders, when, with ribbons masterly taken, the coachman shouted “Right” and the “Tally Ho” commenced the season’s business, How cheerily everybody seemed!

The dales and valleys and glens, pretty beyond expression in their Mayday dress, flow by in quick succession, and tho butter: cups, set like nuggets of burnished gold in the lawns of emerald purity, seemingly nodded their welcome. Mr. Haven waited at @ point in the Park whero there was plenty ol sea room, and bis party gave the *Tall Ho’ agenuine road salute agit passed, and then falling behind, his handsome turnout trotted in company to the northern boundary of the inclosure, when again sending tho flying excursionists a cheer, left them.
