MANCHESTER, April 2S.-The Guar
dian says it is rumored that there is r
conflict OF opinion between Lord Bescons-
field and some of MS colleagues as TO the
part England shall Immediately take on
the Eastern question. This, however, IL
certain, that M army corps OF thirty or
forty thousand men is being rapidly pre-
pared for dispatch to any points where
English interests require is services. 1t
is highly probable that this corps will
rendezvous al Malta or GIoralter. The
command is to be offered to Lord Napier,
OF Magdale
LONDON, April 2S.-A dispatch from
Kischeneti has the following: AS the
Russian army advances proclamstiOns
will be issued both TO the Christian and
Mussulman populstion OF Turkey, order
ing them TO remain quiet and attempt
nothing against each other, as all who
remain quietly in their homes will not
be molested. Nothing will be taken
without payment. Russia does not wish
the Christian population to rise, as this
would only result in disorders and
useless bloodshed, but the Christians, who
wish to take part in the war, can come
to the Russian lines where they will be
given arms and uniforms, aid be regu-
larly enrolled in special division com-
.isnded by Russian officers ander the
strictest discipline. No irregular bands
of gueril!as will be allowed. No inqui-
rles will be made respecting the strocI-
ties OF last year, except in such cases as
Snefket Pasha and others mentioned IN
the reports OF Bearing and Schuyler. II
these are caught, they will be tried and
summarily punished Ii more massacres
occur, punishment will be swift
and certain. General Tchernsyetf ar
rived here to-day. He will receive some
command. The Russian march ~
Galatz waa h really wonderful perform
ance. The whole distance was trsverscd
on foot in fifteen hours, without halt.
The wagons were only used to carry
knapsacKs and arms. The artillery,
cavalry and baggage trains all
arrived together. 1t was e1peeted that
q detachment would commence action
Immediately on arriving, as the Turks
had only to cross the river TO seize the
railway and destroy the bridge. The
railway is now secure. The Russian
army Is moving forward, mostly sfoot.
The railwav is only used for heavy
artillery ana baggage. A Glurgevo dis
patch says the Sultan has not accepted
the resignation of Abdul kerim.
LYNDON, Apsil 28.-A Times Vienna
special says: 1t remains - be seen
whether the powers will answer the
Porte's note. The conferences between
the cabinets seems 70 point to sn inten-
ton To reply. Ii these do not lead
to an understanding the treaty
of Paris must be considered as can
celled, not only ss between
Rnssis and Turkey, but also ss between
Russia and other signs:Ories.
1t is probable that France will send
Count Chsndordev as special ambassador
to Turkey.
The announcement that the khedIve E
son Hsssam goes % the assistance OF the
Porte is contradicted. HIS mission Is to
explain the khedIve'- inability to com
ply with the Sultan's request for troops.
