The Eastern oue.tion.

LONDON, April IA telegram from
Constantinople asserts that the Turkish
Senate reversed the decision OF the
Chamber of Deputies regarding the Mon
tenegro demands.
LONDON, April l2.-The Times in q
leader, says: How hss the prospect sud-
denly been overshsdowed by the fear Of
q speedy war; A change hss come
through the act OF Russia, BY means Of
the very document which was signed for
the purpose of peace. Hardly had the
document been signed when she showed
q disposition to take from it the materials
of the ultImstum. and the Porte was in-
formed that 1t would be expected 70 de-
eide by tomorrow whether il would or
not accept the protocol and send an en-
voy to st. Petersburg. Il, as our Austrian
correspondent says, the lta!isn and
French charges de affairs also intlmated
that definite reply should be given By
the 18th inst, Russia may be able TO
make an unexpected defence OF her
haste, but our own government, at least,
did not intend the protocol to have the
character of an ultimatum. Russia cannot
be suppressed. Indeed, if the recent
negotiations should expose her to severe
charges, she must expect 1t TO be said
that she wished to pass the time till the
roads towards Turkey should be dt for
the passage of her artillery, and that she
drew up the protocol not to
secure peace, but to obtain from
the united. powers such condem
nation of Turkey rs would
make a declaration OF war inevitable.
We bring no such charges against Rus
sis, but the powers will have reason TO
complain il, now that they have put their
seals to the protocol, Russia should refuse
to smooth the way towards peace.
She will be expected at least
to postpone any decisive action till
the powers shall have again appealed
to the Porte, and she may be invited to
consider whether demobIlizstIon might
not be brought about in some manner
less hurtful 10 Turkeys pride than the
stringent terms of Schorendof.
In the House Of Commons, Sir Stafford
Northcote presented the budget. de said
that there was an actual surplus last year
OF G443,0O0. Tho estimates for the cur
rent year were expenditures Els, 794, 200,
revenues E70,02O,000 No addition TO
nor remission OF taxation is proposed.
ST. PETERSBURG, April II. The St.
Petersburg Journal states that there IS
no further hope that Turkey will acceie
70 the demands OF Europe.
The GokoS declares that the present
state of affairs is such ss to leave scarcely
any hope OF pacific solution. The Rus
sisn occupation of the Christian prov
inces of Turkey would be the logical
consequence of refusal Of the Porte TO
carry out the demands of the protocol
Such occupation would exclude sll idea
of ambitious designs being attributed TO
Russia. who by interfering in behalf of
the Christians, would solely pursue hu-
manitsrian ends.

LONDON, April IA Reuter- tele-
gram from ConsLsntinople says that the
Turkish Senate did not reverse the dec-
sion OF the Porte in respect to Montene-
gro. At the last moment the Senate re-
ceived ali order not to discuss the ques-
tion. The armistice expires At midnight
if not prolonged. 1t is probable, how
ever, that both sides will remain on the
defensive.
LONDON, April IA Paris CORE

days, which vii be the sigma tor an
