trailing on the German Frontier.
LONDON, Sept. 2S-LSpecial Despatch to the ". Y.
World. l-The Government has information to-day
from its agents the Baltic that the military pre-
parations which Russia has been making SO openly
and with such extraordinary energy are directed
not against Turkey but against Germany. This in
formation is confirmed by private advices, and It is
Berlin. The following troops OF the Rus
sian army are announced to have been ecne-
the past three weeks 1.-Two divisions OF lhe Infan-
try of the Guard, under Lieutenant General Baron
M9ller.S Sakomiesky; three divisions OF the Grena-
diers Of the Guard under Lieutenant-G General
Prince Toukhon-Mauvarof; one division OF the
Cavalry of the Guard, under General Prince Galt-
zin; twelve divisions of the Infantry Of the Line,
under under Leptenant-Genera Won Egger; i've
divisions DIV s0 OF the Cavalry Of the Line IN
two parks of engineers and twelve
parks of artillery under Lieutensnt-G General Kay
schef. II is also announced that force Of hum
dred and fifty thousand Cossacks, the most terrible
light troops OF the world, has been called under
arms and that the squadron OF the Baltic s ready
for active service. These statements are made in
Government circles, and they are accompanied with
the still more alarming ntimation that the Russian
Minister, DOmDTil, at the Court OF Berlin has been
instructed by Prince Gortschakof to present a
formal demand to Prussia for full and categorical
explanations OF her purposes and policy In pursuing
In this demand 1t is stated that the Government
OF the Car declares 1t to be quite impossible that
Russia can regard 1t as question solely TO be de-
cided between Germany and France what the limits
not less than the past makes it the duty of the Rus
sian Government to protest against and II neces-
sary, to prevent any change in the equilibrium of
Europe which would embarrass the freedom OF
action OF the Russian Government; and particularly
that Russia will never suffer the fixed boundaries of
European States to be disturbed In obedience to the
''subversive and perverse doctrine OF nationates
so-called."
These rumors are confirmed and their ominous
significance deepened by the appearance in the ST.
Petersburg Gazette de la Bourse OF article printed
in form which gives to it the air OF a semi-onicia
manifesto, which uses this threatening and explicit
anguage-"Prussa, with her frontiers on the side
of France guaranteed, and neutralized Austria to
foot hnrg nnfl flnoc ctnrn anE haf
to dispose all her strength to check and easily
to paralyze the action of Russia In the presence
of so grave eventuality, Russia must and will
provide, and provide at once, against any possible
future"
for solution in that quarter. 1t is on the Rhine to-
day that.the knot OF the Eastern question waits to
be cut at one decisive blow"
A Cabinet Council Called In London.
The British Ministry have called Cabinet council
for tomorrow instead of Friday, under the double
excitement of the public anxiety and of urgent
dispatches from Lord Lyons, in which he appeals
earnestly to the British Government to interpose
Lord Lyons represents in the strongest terms the
growing desperation and rage of the combatants,
and the peris to Europe of such projects as are now
openly avowed by the German Government.

LONDON Sept. 2s.-There is no truth whatever in
the story that the Italian Government had made ad
yances to any power before the occupation of the
Papa States 1t is believed the story originated
lar letter to the Italian representatives
at foreign courts setting forth the
secure public order and the independence Of the
Pope, not less than the rights and liberties of the
Roman people and he pacitication Of Italy. The
was to urge the Pope to recognize the good faith
OF Italy in this matter There some dis
of the court and the Government to Rome, and
OF the papers urge the municipality to suspend
work upon the grand exterior bouevards. 1t is un-
derstoOd that King Victor will make his entry into
the Eternal City Immediately after the taking OF the
plebScitun the result being regarded as foregone
conclusion. The Evangelical Society here have
petitoned for permission to remove at once to
Rome.

The Imperial Family .Eugenie's House II
LONDON, Sept. 2s.-The eX-Empress Eugene ha
taken fine house and grounds at Chsehurst ii
the county OF Kent DR.. Evans, who accompanied
her from France, is managing her allairs.
1t is not true that she quilted the Marine Hotel a
Hastings on account OF annoyance by the people
On the contrary she was treated by all classes wit
the profoundest respect, and was daily IN receipt
presents OF quantities OF bouquets. The creates
annoyance she experienced arose from the persist
ent request for interviews made 10y importunate re
porters.
The Irish Times OF Dublin suggests that the ex
Emperor andshls family should be invited to settl
down in Ireland; but why the Pope, who ha
greater c. aims on Irish hospitality, is not include
in the invitation, it is difficult to understand.
