the situation is to be found at Montenegro, and this
morning The appearance of matters in that quarter Ia
little more hopeful We learn that Prince Nikita
has consented to make some material reductions
from his original demands, and dispatches from
ConstantInOple are to the effect that an exteE-
sion of the arnistce has been granted to the l2th
OF April The Monenegrns give up their claim to the sea-
port SpeZzia abandon their demands for the right Oak
Of the river MOrascha and to Notifications IN the
lake Of Scutar and considerably pare down what they
have claimed in regard to Ncsics The MoneneGin de-
mand for accession of territory based on the ground
of absolute necessity for the OF raising food
and the Turks object to cede OF the district around
Nicscs the double ground that they fear Monamme
dan rising in the districts around that city If they cde it,
and also that they regard the present nstament in
the direction of future demands There ought prad
dcie to be difficulty in meeting these objections and
arriving at compromise, but there is some reason TO
fear that Montenegro is being made a catspaw of in
to keep alive the anagonlsm between Turkey and
Russia. II Turkey and Russia could come to some sort
OF agreement the MouteUegrn difficulty would PROBABLY
very speedily vanish.
Gen. Ignatief has departed from among and is
air, ady his way to Vienna. We are told that he is
much disappointed at the nOnsuccess OF his mission;
though the mission is not yet concluded little
premature to make him express disappointment at its
failure. There is every to believe that his visit to
London had but very slight political Significance The
basis of the negotiations between the British and the
Russian Governments was arranged In Paris between
Count Schouvaloff and Gen. Ignaeff and the former
preceded the atters arrival in London by nearly week
In order that he might lay the proposals agreed on in
PARIS before the British Government. SO far as the
Pcnpotentiaries were concerned the negotiations were
settled before Ignatief came to London, and
| therefore the social aspect Of his visit ia the
more prominent. He was received on satlr-
| day night almost Immediately on his arrival Ia
London by Lord and Lady Derby when the saloons OF
the British Foreign office filed with brilliant and
| distinguished assemblage OF guests who had been
specially invited to meet him. Before midnight he
on a special train the Great Northern Railway en-
route for Hatfield Lord salisburys ancestral mansion
whittier lie accompanied by Lord and Lady Salisbury
and numerous circle guests Here the lonizlug was
continued Oh Sunday and Monday, and on Tuesday the
| General and his wife to London to consult an
| occulist. He Gined with the Prime Minister, and on
Wednesday he visited the Queen Windsor Though not
frequently the streets his comngs and gongs
| tolar h1y IN
obtain n sight OF him. On Thursday he left for Paris
A GOOD deal OF gossip from Paris concerning
| hm-rnuch more than we believed about him when he
| was here and the French journals have a good many
personal items to note For instance La France reports
that the frs. word uttered Prince OrOf after he
had returned to Paris were: "Thcre possibility
they viii not understand" while from another source
we told that he engaged till midnight on Thurs
day IN conversation with long succession of visitors in
clu ling the Due and NJ. Chandordy, and that
| afterward he worked till 3 in the morning. The fol-
lowing day he was up ut and paying round OF visits,
| and at 3 O'Clock he started for Vienna He must
be man OF rather remarkable constitution for while in
England he was tted night and day and yet he conr'ed
