LONDON, May 1O.--The second edition
of the Times has dispatches from Ath-
ems, which say that the Greek lron-clad
Olga. has captured the vessel which clan
destinely left Piracics, and the crew are
pirates and notorious criminals from
Asia Minor
Prince Milan and his Ministers have
formally assured Count Andrassy that
Servia will not disturb the peace.
A Reuter- dispatch, dated Ezerorum,
Wednesday, 10 p. M, makes no mention
of any fighting. 1t reports that Rus
sian column which was going down the
line of the Turko-Persian frontier in the
direction of the Van Kas, stopped at
Bayzadd, on account Of the impractical
bility OF the country and the lack of for
age.
In the House of Commons Mr. Suli-
van withdrew the question which he
gave notice on Tuesday last he should
ask on Monday next, relative to the inti-
nation of the Home Secretary, that Eng
land would defend Egypt from any in-
terterence or attack.
The Under.Secretary for the Fol- cign
Department, in reply to question by
Mr.. jenkins, said, that no steps have
been taken to send naval force to the
Danube. Such step would lead to much
misinterpretation, and, possibly, serious
results. He said he had no information
about the state of the Black Sea block
ade, and no representations had been

In reply to question by Mr.. Wait, he
said England has asked the Porte for n
further extension of time for entry to
and clearance of vessels from the block
AIDED ports.
The Eastern debate was then resumed.
: During the debate, Mr.. Courtney advo-
Gated the acknowledgements Of Turkey by
force of arms, and on alliance with Rus
sia for that purpose The Conservatives
cried No |" and the Liberals chcered.
MANCHESTER, May l0.-The Guardi-
ans Berlin dispatch says the Gar is said
to be alarmed at the formation of n Po-
lsh Lepion at Constantinople, and has
ordered the Governor General at War
saw to exercise the greatest vigilance to
prevent the Russian Poles from joining
the Legion. All mitigations of the state
of siege in Poland, enforced since the
insurrection of 1873 will be revoked
Berlin papers announced that the lead
ing Polish politicians, at q secret meet
ing held at Lemberg, resolved on the es-
tabishment OF recruiting bureaus all
over Poland, with the hopes of raising
an army of $4,000 men. Six thousand
have already left for Turkey. The Ma
tional Committee appointed Count Ra-
eziniski as delegate to Constantinople
The Liverpool Posts London CORE
spondcnt, says when Mr.. Cross boasted
on Monday, of the entire unity of the
Cabinet, he was indulging in flight OF
imagination. The truth is nominal unity
was only restored Saturday, and this re-
suit was obtained after an angry discus
sion in the Cabinet, and by the threaten
ed resignation of four members. Earl OF
Beaconsvlle was in favor of n violent
and sensational policy. The British fleet
had been ordered to rendezvous at Ger
fu, with sealed instructions to sail for the
Bosphorus when there was every prob
ability that an armed demonstration, in
\ f.-..- 90 .Lss VsaShe -~r..~iN w "is'ao'
Gladstone's $ resolutions or rather the eX,
preston of public feeling they invoked,
put matters in an entirely different posi-
ton, and when the Cabinet met Satur-
day, several members declared they
would not, at present, sanctiona an armed
demonstration on the Bosphorus. The
four members to whom the country owes
the final decision of the Government in
favor of neutrality, are Lord Salisbury,
Sir Stafford Northcotc, Lord Carnarvon
and Mr.. Cross. They declared that they
would not support the wallilie policy, and
as their retirement would disturb the go
vernment, the PrimeMinister and his war
like colleague were compelled to submit
Thus II sort of unity is patched up for the
present, and the Government, meantime
is committed to the policy of neutrality
1t should not, however, be forgotten that
this policy is provisional, and that the
whole Cabinet recognize that interven
ton may become necessary.
