THE EASTERN QUESTION.
Servia Abandoned by Russia.

LONDON, Feb 1.-THE Times despatch from
Belgrade says that Servia's appeal for advice
FROM Russia is still unanswered. The Russian
consul-general declares that he is greatly en-
barrassed at the silence of his government. 1t
is surmised that Russia has abshdoned the
Servans as the price of Austria's acquiescence
or cooperation in Russia's policy. because if
Servia were quieted, the great cause of restless
ness among the Sclavs in Hungary would be
removed. 1t is probable that Russia will not
adopt similar course towards Montenegro, but
will put her forward as the champion of the
Christians in Turkey. 1t is reported that the
partisans of Karageorgovitch are intriguing,
aud some demonstrations may take place in
the Skuptchina.
The Expected Struggle i'm the British
Parliament.
LONDON, Feb. 15-In the House of Lords
this afternoon the Duke of Argyle gave notice
he would on Tuesday next direct attention to
the governments instructions to Lord Salisbury
regarding the conference and ask the govern
ment what measures are contemplated for
attaining the end meditated in these instruc-
tions. This will probably lead to the expected
attack of the opposition regarding the Eastern
question.
