LONDON, June ., 1870
The Eastern imhrogro is the al-absorbing topic,
from which the racing for the Derby and Oaks dis
fracted the attention OF the English mind for brief
moment.
NO EXPLANATION BY THE MINISTRY.
Parliament rises tonight for the enjoyment OF the
Whtsuntide holidays on Monday and Tuesday. The
government has not vouchsafed to give, or indeed,
been asked for, explanation on the subject OF the
difficulty In the East.
A wARLIKE ATTITUDE.
England's Eastern policy seems to be becoming
gradually more bellicose. At no period since the
commencement of the Hezegovinan troubles has
the situation been so serious and threatening. This
condition of affairs is caused mainly by the mutual
jealousy OF England and Russia.
BRITISH INTRIGUE IN CoxsrANTINoPLE
1t Is generally accepted as fact that the de-
hronement OF the Sultan was not simply de-
thronement Of Abdul-Aziz, but of Russian influence
In Constantinope. The Russian journals charge
England with being at the bottom OF the Turkish
revolution.
CASTING A SHADOW BEFORE.
am inclined to the view that England was aware
Of what was approaching in Constantinople. The
catastrophe OF the late Sultan was foreshadowcd
ten days before its actual occurrence by the CORE
spondcnt of the London Times at the Turkish capt.
tai. The news was doubtless obtained from the
Right Hon. II. G. Elliott the English Ambassador at
the Sultan's Court The Sultan, in fact, exchanges
Russian for English influence The days preceding
the Crimean war; unfortunately, seem to be repeat
ing themselves
IS BRITAIN IN EARNESTf
The question remnins Is England in earnest with
her threatening ornaments, or is she acting the
part which was attributed by Thomas Carlyle to the
late Lord Palmerston, Hercules, the Harlequin,
bmndishing glittcring sword before the eyes Of
The people Ito see how they will like its''
GENERAL IGSATIRrr.
The rumors Of General Ignatiefrs recall from his
post OF Russian Ambassador in Constantnople, are
give up the game despite England's present att
tuie. Russia cannot afford to pocket defeat on
the Sclayonia9 question. EnIland's attitude In
Corstantinople can only hasten the progress OF
events in the tributary provinces of the Turkish
Empire.
sERvIA BELLICosE.
InServia the schools and colleges are being closed.

PRINCES CHARLES AND MILAN ABOUT TO ACT.

Prince Charles Of Roumania and Prince Milan OF Ser
via, which latter State refused to pay the two last
tnstancnts Of tribute claimed by the Porte, propose
TO iss,e joint declaration OF independence, owing
to the irregular accession Of the Sultan to the
throne.

The Daily Negs says:-"The idea Of maintaining
Turkish independence by British arms Ii out or the

leaders are right in abstaining from discussion OF
the matter. The article says:-"Lord Derby should
state what objects should be maintained; whether
the maintenance OF Turkey Is essential to the
essential object OF British policy" Engiands uncx
