the matter ? Pray, tell me-" The marked
and sympathetic attention Of the emperor
drew all eyes upon the lady, who became

CoNsTANTINoPLE, Dec. l9.-It is said
that the Porte aas instructed its minister
at Rome to ask for an explanation of the
relations which are growing more and
more intimate between Italy and Greece.
VIENNA, Dee, 19.-Count Andrassy,
addressing the Budget committee to-day,
said he had come to the conclusion that he
could under no circumstances whatever
make the slightest alteration in the policy
hitherto pursued, which consisted in
maintaining neutrality, while providing for
the protection of Austria's interests and
the exercise of her influence at the final
settlement. Austria would decidedly pro-
test, it necessary, to prevent any sattempt
on the part of Seryia to extend operations
to Bosnia and Herzegovina.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-The St. Petersburg
GGzettesannounces that Gen. Todleben has
been appointed commander of the army of
Rustchuk, with Prince Imeritin5ky as his
chief of staff.
A Vienna correspondent says it was
| thought for some time that England might
bring the Turkish note officially to the
knowledge of the Russian government, but
according to the latest information the
British cabinet decided onTuesday that in
view Of the differences of opinion among
the powers any attempt to mediate would
be inopportune. The Porte intends to lay
the whole question of negotiation before
the Turkish parliament, making further
steps dependent on its decision.

WHEREAS the country has, for more

has brought great distress on all classes;
aud whereas this prolonged calamity is
due largely to moral causes (some of which
go back IN our history to selfshness, greed

disregard of the rights of man and the laws
of God; therefore,
ReSotUed, That it is most fitting that VIZ

position in our behalf.

before Almighty God for the forgiveness
of our sins. for revival of personal an,
and national righteousness. for the bestow
mant Of the truest wisdom upon our rulers
and for the favor of God which alone ca
bring real prosperity.
ResoIUld, That we should regard 1t as
most fitting act if the President of tn
/ United States should recommend day O
public prayer in behalf of the country.
RcSolUed, That We respectfully invit
our brethren of all denominations to unit
with Us in securing the observance of sue
season of prayer.

FOREIGN.
ENGLAND

LONDON. Dec. 20.-The Times in its
leading article throws out strong indica-
tions of belief that parliament will be
asked to vote money for the purchase of a
further interest of some kind in Egypt,
possibly the Khedive's remaining interest
In the Suez canal and the Porte's Suzer-
anity over Egypt.
Financial articles note marked firm
ness in Egyptian bonds yesterday, and it
is ascribed to political reasons.
Among the rumored projects making
necessary the summoning of parliament
are increased armanents, war vote, and
purchase of the Turkish feet. Every at
tempt to strike out new foreign policy
for the government revives, it is said,
dissensions in the cabinet.
The retirement of Lord Derby, foreign
minister is by no means improbable.
LONDON, Dec. 20.-The Times says the
supremacy of Great Britain is not endan-
gered, at the same time there are interests
not threatened by the progress of the war,
except so far as the mutual cohesion of
the whole Ottomon Empire is threatened,
which might be more strongly protected
| than they are by acts not in any degree
savoring of the character of war, We
are not going to allow our interests to be
bound up with the maintenance of the
Ottomon Empire in its integrity, or inde-
pendence. 1t will be found when parlia.
ment meets that the communications the
ministers will have to make in both houses
are not inspired by that terror which now
disturbs the mental vision and distracts
the judgment of so many. The Daily
News says We think parliament is sum
moned to approve war preparations. A
Paris dispatch says the Marquis of Har
court, French ambassador to London, is t.
be removed, and the Marquis of Ban
ockill will go as ambassador to Constan
tinople.
