FEY CABLE TO THE HEnAtD.1


LONDON, March 3, 1877.
Tho week has been a calm, politically. but tho
hopes OF peace are materially strengthened. Even
Berlin shares a belief In the brighter prospects
growing out of General Ignatictrs mission to the
capitals Berlin and Vienna, AMI probably
London. The British courier bearing Engand's
reply TO the Russian note arrived in Bcrir
to-day. The tenor Of the note Is the same that J
sent you last night from all that can be gathered
here a disarmament by Russia Is probable. The
for another year. Turkey being meanwhile left TO
work out ncr own salvation or destruction, with
long odds In favor OF the latter.
TIE IMrErIAL THREE.
The three Emperors-Gcrmany, Russia and Aus.
tria-wn meet again this year to explain all misun-
dcrstandings ana repair any partial breaches Of
friendship, which events may have brought about
1t Is shrcwdly suspected that the Car Alexander
and his uncle Kaiser Wilhelm will take advantage
OF the meeting to give Franz Joseph good talking
to.
ESGLAND's ATTITUDE CHANGING.
England, II must bc aUmltted, Is gradually
swcrving toward a better understanding with
Russia. AS a consequence Mr. Gladstone, who has
been foremost in advocating such change Of pol.
icy, is recovering pubic favor rapidly.

To the Nineteenth Century urges tho English to
Danish all prelulccs and suspicious OF Kussa's ac-
tion. The l,oursc shows buoyant tendency. From
hopes OF peaceful year arc entertained. The de.
tails OF the news oil point the same way.
now RUSSIA MAY RETIRE HONoRABLY.
A despatch from Berlin says-"Thc replies OF tho
Powers to the Russian circular will be presented
next week. The Powers have agreed to acknowl.
edge tho meritorious zeal Of Russia on behalf Of
the Christians in Turkey. The replies will be
carefully wor;lcd 10 make Russa's retreat
from her threatening position easy. 1t is
understood the Powers Will also propose that the
Porte be granted term for. the execution OF re.
forms 1t Is believed here that Russia will accept
the suggestions Of the Powers, though probably en-
deavoring to fastcn on them some responsibility
Tor the future, and will speedily demobzc her
army.r
WHAT THE PORTE WILL ASK.
Another Berlin despatch states that the Porte
contcmplatcs addressing the Powers on pending
questions. 1t will probably promise to realize Mid.
hat pacha's reform programme within two years
provided the present excitement be alayed by the
olutionary intrigues.
