The Eastern War,

LONDON, Dec. 2O,-A Vienna cores
pondent reports that Suleiman Pasha with
10000 men arrived at Constantinople
from Varna. He gees to Adrianople TO
take command of the army of Roumeiia.
Suleiman's circuit0us route is explained
by the fact that in consequence of the ice
and snow in the Balkan passes, heavy
material is more easily transported by
railway to Varna and thence by sea to
Constantinopie than by the most direct
route 1t is thought also that portion of
the troops from the Quadrilateral have
gone to Roumelia by land direct, as the
czarowitch reports the Turkish forces out
side Of Rustchuk and Oh the Lower Lom
Withdrawn.
A Vienna correspondent telegraphs
that since the failure of the Turkish note
to the powers the idea of direct negotia-
Iiors between Turkey and Russia appears
to find more advocates. 1t is supposed
that even Great Britain has somewhat
abated her objections to such a course
and advised the porte to try, if possible.
to ascertain the Russian conditions. The
porte, hcwever, seems to have little incli-
nation for such course. All its energies
seem to be bent on the defense of Roume-
liza. 1t is thought also that the Turkish
parliament, to which the porte declared
its intention of submitting the question,
will oppose negotiations.

teracting the effect of wild rumor. 1t says,
no course can be more reasonable and
obvious than that at this junction the gov
ernment should desire to consult with
parliament as soon as it can without un
necessary inconvenience. Whether they
contemplate interference or mediation, or
simply the means of securing good posi-
ton in the final settlement question, they
cannot but feel the need Of parliamentary
support.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-It can be
stated that the president sees no reason
or occasion for war with Mexico. Intimate
friends of the president end Secretary
Evarts declare that neither the president
nor the secretary of state desires war, aud
that the reports charging them with such
desire Go gross injustice. The information
OF late from the Rio Grande is of a re-
assuring character.
The policy of the administration will be
to avoid all complications and to adjust
those which may arise by peaceable means
alone The president viii protect the
border and will also maintain peace he
states that very emphatically to-day. The
administration authorities DO not think
that the governor of Texas can be justified
on the bulletins, in which he charges the
Mexicaus with the responsibility for the
I'll Paso troubles.
The house investigating committee
seemed to have proved that since the 4th
of March not more than three parties have
crossed the border from Mexico for the
purpose Of pillage on the lower Rio Grande
country. In the upper Bio Grande section
the raids have been almost altogether con
fined to the wandering bands of indians.
