Special Diepatch to s Brx MEN AND MUNITIONS MASSING, New York, August 9.—A London cable says: It is admitted in political circles that Russiais making extensive war preparations, Troops have beer hurried down towards the Caucassus, where, it is said, 200,000 men are now collected with stores and munitions of war ready for a descent upm the Bos- phorus should the opportunity offer. It is said that the delay of Eogland in forwarding her urmy to Egypt has been caused by the knowledge of these facts, and the calling out of the Eng- lish reserves and acceptance of services of some of the volunteer arllery are DUE TO THAT KNOWLEDGE. The internal state of Russia is such that any change would be for the bot- ter. Not only are the great bulk of people discontented but wmong the upper clussea thero 18 conziderable hos- tility to the present czar, Under these circumstances the emperor turns to- ward foreign affairs with the expecta- tion that war with Eagland, which would be very popuiar, would unite all Russian classes againet the com- mon evemy. The only obstacle to war is theattitude of Germany. Count Bismarck is said to give his unswerv- ing support to Gladstone’s castcrn poi- icy and in event of a general Euro- pean war Germany would be support- ed both by Austria and Italy.

LoNpoN, August 9.—At the lord mayor’s banquet to her majesty’s min- isters this evening, G!adstone, re- sponding to the lord mayor’s congrat- ulations,said he has been fifty yearsin the service of the country and ex- pressed the hope he should not fail during what may be the short remain- der of his public life, to seive his queen and country farthfuliy to the end. “I am sanguine,” he said, “we hase passed a moment of danger, and that there will be wa- dom and harmony in the work avd deliberations of parlisment for the ramainder of the present year. Reforring to the Exyption question he 8ai “Ivis of vital importance that they position of England should not be wmisunderstood. Forces have gone to Egypt in prosecution of the great in- terests of the empire, Unless these interests existed it would not be im- ossible for us to find justification for intervention. But let it be known and proclaimed from this spot, which af- fords a channel of communication with the world not inferior to the senate itself, that those interests are not ours alone, but the interests we have in common with every state in Europe; nay, with the whole civilized world.” [Cheers.] Referring to the Suez canai, Gladstone said: “‘It is es- sential for mankind that that gate should be open, and that the country in which it 18 situated should be peaceable and under a legal govern- ment. The utmost we have in view, though the burden and honor of per- forming it may fall upon ourselves, is a work which it is essential for every country in Europe to perform, and the perform- ance of which caunot but rebound, if it be associated with high and disinter estedobjects,to the honor of those up- onwhom the burden falls.” Gladstone continued: ‘““We do not go to war with the Egyptian people, but rescua them from the oppression of military tyranny. Nor do we make war upon the Mohammedan religion, as English- men respect the convictions of be- lievers in every other faith, We do nov want to suppress the growth of liberty in Egypt, but desire that she be prosperous, England goes to Egypt with clean hands, and with no secret intention to conceal from other nations. There is a class of men besides the military who require to be overawed, who were instruments of former oppression and who wish well to the military tyranny because they would provide for & re vival of the abuses and cruelty already extinguished or mitigated,” Glad- stone expressed a hope for a speedy and successful issue to the expedition, He roferred to the passing of the land bill and maintained that some progress had been made towards restoration of settled order in Ireland, OChilliers, secretary of state for war, roplying to the toast to the army, said that from to-morrow two or three sh suoccession, day after day. will be landing troops in Egypt ready to strike a blow at whatever point Sir Garnet Wolseley thinks right to ope- rate, Karl of Northbrook, firat iord of the admiralty, replied to the toast to the navy and Earl Cowper to the toast to the reserve.
