 Prince Bismarck has left Berlin for Varnn.
 The Daily News St. Petersburg cor respondent telegraphs as follows: "The war feeling here is intense. There was never such popular war AS this will be. We have no brag, no buster, no excitement in the streets, no processions, uo singing, no shouting, but quiet resolution is depicted on every face, and is manifest in everybody's language.
 The Telegraph's Vienna dispatch re- marks: It is feared that Austria will not be able long to remain an indifferent spectator, The attitude she is preparing to assume is one of defensive neutrality. The influence of Russian Sclav committees extends almost to the Austrian frontiers; and Austrian states men, who consider its vicinity permanent peril, are bent on checking it's progress and taking steps to annihlate it's affects on the Sclav population.
 A telegram from Constantinople says a Russian yacht arrived to-day to take the members of the Russian embassy to Odessa the moment they receive orders to quit Con. stantinople. The porte believes that the rupture will be delayed until Russia has com muncated her intentions to the powers, but no hope of peaceful settlement is enter tained by Russian subjects in Turkey. who are to be placed under the protection of the German embassy. Constantinop.e will be declared in a state of siege immediately after the rupture.
 It is officially confirmed that the Rou- mania troops will oppose the passage of the Danube by the Turkish army and will allow the Russians to cross the Pruth. The cor. respondent of the Daily Telegraph says: "I have just inspected the Ottoman fleet in the Bosporus, and find that the condition of the sultan navy is really splendid. The vessels are fully manned and the discipline is as good as possible. Admiral Hobart Pasha has been formerly appointed commander of the Black sea squadron, which comprises fifteen iron.clads. The forts on the Bospo rus are also ready, and reports from the armies are satisfactory. Mehamit Pasha, the sultan's first aid-de camp. has left the cap- tai to inspect the troops and munitions of war in Anatalia and superintend the final arrangements along the Adriatic frontier"
 Lord Derby has sent the following dis patch, dated April 12th, to the British charye dafaires at Constantinople: "Sir-The Turkish emkassabor called to-day and left a copy of the circular on the subject of the protocol. Iexpressed my deepest regret to Musurus Pasha at the step the porte had taken. thought it unnecessary to enter on any further discussion of step which had been adopted by the psrte. after full consid. era,ion, and could not be retraced. said, however, it did not seem clear whether the porte would send on an ambassador or not to St. Petersburg to treat on the question of mutual disarmament. Musurus Pasha stated that Turkey was not prepared to adopt any such measure, and expressed the opinion that matters could not be settled satisfacto- rly unless the powers should consent to an- null the protocol. replied that the diver gence between the views of the two govern ments appeared so wide as to render fur ther discussion useless, and said l could not see what further steps England could take to avert war which appeared inevita- ble. Musurus Pasha answered that the attl tude of his government was simply defensive that they did not desire war, but they would prefer 1t to the sacrifice of their national in dependence, which appeared to be involved in the acceptance of the protocol"
 A Times dispatch from Vienna, dated the 18th says there are grounds for believing that the idea exists of making the eight arti cle of the treaty of Paris the starting point for fresh negotiations. This idea is now taken up by England, and brought forward at St. Petcrsburg but it seems as if the era of negotiations is there regarded as closed Sanguine people may still derive some hope from this uncompromising attitude so osten tatiously displayed, but Russia has all along shown her unwavering purpose to set aside or, at any rate, to ignore the very existence of the treaty of Paris; still, she will not care to raise discussion on the point as to how far it's stipulations may be deemed valid knowing that such discussion might per haps bring her into opposition with one ol more other powers besides Turkey. As tho czar's arrival at Kishenev is only announced for the twenty.second instant, it is supposed his majesty will stop at Moscow, and he may use his stay there to make another declara ton or possibly issue the expected manifesto therefrom. Intelligence of the movement O the Russian army is confirmed on man, sides. It is believed in well informed circle that much time will be lost in crossing int, RoumanIa. Such a movement may be mad, simultaneous with or perhaps befoIe reg ular declaration of war, so that movemen would have the character of menace. Thi would be following the precedent of 1853 The Turks may not be disposed to allow sucl occupation to pass ever in silence, for trust worthy information indicate that they meal to consider the crossing of the Pruth de claration of war, and intend crossing at th same time into Roumania at Kalafat ant Nikopoli.
