FOREIGN NEWS.
The Eastern Question,

Turkey, on the 10Th, formally assented to
the proposed conference at Constantinople,
and named Midhat Pasha and Saufet Pasha
as her plenpotentiaries The English ana.
bassador to the conference is the Marquis of
Salisbury, who left for Conslantinople on the
2Oth.
Meantime, while Russia was showing the
greatest activity in moblizing her srmles,
was impressing all the shipping on the Black
sea to convey troops, and was even organizing
a sanitary corps; and while England was dis
playing the utmost activity at Woolwich,
concentrating her army and naval forces and
talked OF Immediately occupying CONSTANT
nople with $4,000 men backed by an invinci-
BILE tleet,-Lord Lotus, the British embassa-
dor at st. Petersburg, casts perfect quencher
on al! this wariike buslle and ardor by re-
porting to the British ministers an extraor-
binary interview he had had with the Gar on
Noy. I'd. On that occasion the Car SAID he
had sent the ultimatum to the porte, which
had so frightened England and startled all Eu-
rope, because he feared the disasters of the
Servian army might be followed by Turkish
atrocities. The present condition of the Tur-
kish provinces was intolerable. If Europe
refused to join him he must act alone to COM
pei Turkeys assent to reforms But beyond
that he had no designs. He wouldn't occupy
Constantinople If he could-he should regard
such an acquisition as a misfortune to Russia.
Necessity might compel him to occupy por-
ton of Bulgaria, but it would be only to Sc
cure the safety of the Christian population.
He was surprised and annoyed at the inveter-
ate suspicion and continual fear of Russian
aggression in England, and assured Lord
Lotus that it was utterly groundless.
While these assurances of the Car have in
splred general feeling OF confidence in the
maintenance of peace, the Pau Mall Gazette,
the Standard and other tory journals continue
to express their complete distrust of the cars
pacific intentions.
1t is said Lord Salisbury, at the conference,
in complete accord with the pacific express
ions of the car, will unite with him in de-
manding of Turkey such reforms as shall
completely assure the religious freedom of
the Christians in Turkey for the future.
