The following special despatch to the
HHRALD has been received from our CORES
bondent in the British capital:-
LONDON, August 2, 1871.
THE NTIRNATIoNALs AGAIN.
A conference is reported as likely to be
soon convened at one of the European capi-
Jals-probably London or vienna-in regard
TO the attitude which 1t is necessary for the
principal governments to assume toward the
Sooiete Internationale. The conference will,
however, be nominally convoked to discuss
an altogether different matter-the threadbare
Eastern question. This, however, is q mere
fsint and is intended simply to throw dust In
the eyes Of the democratic leaders,
There are signs everywhere that the social
fists are preparing for another outbreak. Its
probable site will be Italy or Spain. The
meeting in London . day or 90 ago and the
riot In Vienna are only the last events in q
long series Of menacing manifestations Of
coming trouble.
France, Austria and England are the
Powers which are arranging the conference |;
but possibly the other principal governments
will be represented. Theirs, Beust and
Granville VIII in person consult as to what is
the best course to pursue. Some general
mode Of dealing with socialist agitators will
be adopted, and possibly some notifications
Of the existing law in England which makes
that country the refuge and the base of opera
lions for revolutionists of this character will
be agreed upon. Such course, however,
will lead to great and perhaps dangerous
political excitement in Great Britain.
