fBY CABLE TO THE HERALD.1
LONDON, Feb. g. 1877.
The ambassadors OF the Powers having left Con-
yantnople Europe is awaiting with some anxiety
the opening OF the next chapter IN this provoking
Eastern discussion. The feeling that the opening
Of the spring will see the entry OF Russian army
Into Turkey and that the Eastern question must be
settled by the sword is very general but while
there is even the remotest chance of pacific solu.
ton people interested in all efforts made with
view to avert war.
HELLENIc DIsCoNrENT.
The arrival OF Sir Henry G. Elliott the British
Ambassador, In Athens was quickly followed by
that OF General Ignateff, whereupon the English
papers were startled by a telegram from Athens,
stating that the Hellencs intended kicking up q
row on their own account because Greek interests
had not been discussed by the Conference This
movement is naturally attributed to General Igna.
tiefr by the English press. which sees Russa's hand
in everything that occurs to embarrass British
policy.
AWAITING sALIsBURy's REPORT
Baron Won Werther, the German Minister, Is
expected In Berlin to-day to make his report to
Prince Bismarck on the Conference. The MARQUIS
Of SaIisbury's report is eagerly anticipated here
to clear up the mystery OF the Turkish attitude
during the Conference. The action of the Porte
was so entirely contrary to what was expected
that the best friends Of Turkey in this country
we're astonishcd, and are In hopes that Sails
burys report win throw some light on it. A Rus
sian circular the failure Of the Conference is also
expected here.
HOPES OF PEACE FADING AWAY.
The English papers are inclined to hope for
peace, but as they have almost nothing upon which
to base their arguments that way it may be said
that the wish is father to the thought. In Vienna,
however, where few false notions prevail about
Russia, some slight hopes Of peace which were
lately entertained are fast fading away, and the
feeling that Russia is really bent on war is becom-
Ing stronger day by day. This view is apparently
supported by reliable reports Of the strength and
efficiency Of the Russian forces in Bessarabia.
ExHAUsrING TURKISH FINANCES.
An assertion lately made by the Berlin corre-
spondent or the London Times that Russia was
only awaiting the financial exhaustion OF Turkey to
commence nostIlities was inspired by the Prussan
Press Bureau. The finances of the Turkish Empire
are in such wretchcd condition that the mainten-
ance OF large army in the field for any consdera-
BILE time must soon end in q total breakdown OF the
whole Ottoman financial system, and 1t Is therefore
reasonable to suppose that Russia is playing some
such waiting game as that alluded to-
TURKS PHILOSOPHY.
Meanwhile, In the midst of his new duties of con-
stitutionalizing Turkey, Midhat Pacha, the Grand
vizer, philosophizes:-"we have the opinion of
Europe against and we have no allies, but with
sufficient army neither European opinion nor allies
matter one straw, unless, indeed, they interrupt
our American cartridges which are now on their
way here"
PEACE BETWEEN TURKEY AND sERvIA.
A despatch from Berlin says:--"The Carlsruhe
Gazette announces that it is informed that the pour
pariers between the Turkish Ambassador and the
servan agent at Vienna have concluded with q
satisfactory result" The PAU MaU Gazette con-
siders peace assured. The negotiators have agreed
to accept the status quo ante beUu,n without quail
acations as the basis OF treaty.
ENGLANDs DESIRE TO KEEP OUT or THE sCRAPE.
There is strong desire manifested in England to
keep clear OF further complications on the Eastern
question. 1t is felt that England has enough to do
to mind her own business, without getting into un-
necessary trouble on account Of the stubborn and
unreasoning Turk, who will not take Engand's nd
vice, though knowing full well she is hts best friend
In Europe to-day.
PRINCE BIsMARCKs PROBLEM.
The Pail Md,1 Gazette In leading article, says
s'Thc results OF the German elections are deeply
discouraging to the supporters OF the Empire.
Prince Bismarck Will stlll be able to command
majority, but only by skiful manGuvrng."
The article discusses the elements OF dissatsiac-
tion danish, Alsaiian, Polish, particuarlst, ultra
montanc and socialist), and concludes as folows:-
"During Prince Bsmark's life, the progrcsasts and
national liberals cooperating. he will be able to
command a majoriiy, but his successors may be un-
aple to control the social forces, which have
acquired such dangerous intensity.
