LIVERPOOL, April 27.-The Courier
London correspondent telegrsphs that
the British government has resolved tC
interfere between Russia and Turkey. l
have the highest authority tor stating
that her Msiesty's government has just
been called upon by Austria to fulfill her
engagements under the tripsrtite treaty
OF 1856, for protecting the integrity of
the Ottoman Empire, and that that deci-
sion has been come TO at the Cabinet
council The Cabinet resolved as the
first step to make formal request 10 the
Russian government TO state the object
of its military operations now being under
taken against the Ottoman government,
and defines the extent 70 which it is pro-
posed to carry out these operations The
CORES pOndent also learns that the Aus
tran government will address an en-
quiry of the same purport to Russia.
france, the third party TO the tripartite
alliance, has not been required 10 take
action in consideration OF the strained
relations of France and Germany. The
treaty enables any one of the three pow
ers to act separately in the fulfllment of
its terms. or to cali on either or
both OF the other powers 70
fulfil the treaty by joint action. Austria
has obvious reasons for not embrojIlng
France, yet Austria cannot longer hesitate
for resisting Russian invasion. Though
Earl Derby WAS able to confidently state
that week ago this country was not
likely to be called upon 10 fulfil the tri-
partite treaty. yet within six days the
British government has actually been
required to fulfil its undertaking, and il
Is quite anticipated that the momentous
alternative OF declaring war against
Russia will arise very shortly. The sit.
ustion is regarded at Vienna rs far more
urgent than the British statements
seem to admit, and the initial of military
action lies with Austria.
1t was reported last evening that Lord
Napier, Governor OF Gibraltar, had been
instructed to go to Malta, and that n
portion OF the guards are ordered TO en-
bark for Malta Immediately. These re-
ports are believed to be premature, al
though II is understood that the strength
ening of the garrison at Malta has been
| under official consideration since the
government received from Vienna the
requisition to fulfill the tripsrtlte treaty.

LONDON, April 27.-The Pail Mail
Gazette says: Russia would be acting
entirely within her bellIgerent rights 10
cutting off the Egyptian troops or ma
terials OF war in the Mediterranean ii
she can do So or even blocksding and
bombarding Alexandria If she should
see fit. SO long rs we remain
neutral we have no right to
resist. We might demonstrate, and II
this WAS not effectusl might lnterpose to
| protect the coasts OF the Porte and Egypt
| by force, but it must be remembered that
TO do this would be an act of war and
should be followed, if not preceded, by q
declaration Of WAT.
The Ijv,cy in n leading article, deprc-
cstes the Irri "ss panic concerning the
WAR. and sa,.. England may have TO
strengthen nrr Il 90. /, the Medterran-
| can, and send it ruarcr the scene OF sc-
| lion. During the Franco German WAT,
England had depended on real Interests
TO guard the nation, and diplsyed no
weak or noisy alarm. We asst med that
we were perfectly able to defend our in
terests if they were attacked, and IN the
meanwhile We maintained strict neutral
! ity. We cannot do botter than 10 fol-
low the precedent we then set ourselves.
