The British fleet passed through the

ties of the situation.

be the Princess Islands, in the Sea of
Marmora, thirteen miles south of

England intends to occupy.
LONDON, Feb. IA.
As Russia's intention OF occupying
Constantinople has been officially an
nounced, in case of the arrival Of the
British fleet, there is every probability
that to day or tomorrow will witness
a total extinction of the Turkish En-
pire in Europe. The Sultan has de
clared that 0 n the entry of the Russians
he Will proceed at one to Broussa, in
Asia Minor, and, should he do so,
there is little likelihood of his future
return.
1t is reported that 1880 Russian sail
ors and naval officers have arrived in
Adrianople, on their way to take pos.
session of the Turkish fleet in the BOs-
phorus.
1t is understood here that Admiral
Hornby's orders have been changed,
so that he will proceed with his whole
force, instead of six ships, as first di
rected. and that he is instructed to use
his guns if necessary to pass the forts.
This movement and the reported order
for the mobilization of the Austrian
army, gives a very warlike aspect To
affairs. and little or nothing is heard
about a conference.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says the
Government has Information hat the
British fleet has arrived at Constants
nople. The Admiralty has received a
telegram that the fleet has passed
through the Dardanelles, but has not
received advices of its arrival at Con
stantinople.
The Times says that Russia has in
Cured grave and needless response
bility, and she will have to give guar
antees to Austria as we'll as England,
that she will quit Constantinople,
should she fulfill her rash intention to
occupy it with her troops.
A Vienna correspondent says the ex-
element here is daily increasing. AT
Turin, the question of Eastern affairs
is taking, and the excitement in Hun
gary is even greater.
A Pesth correspondent telegraphs
that the situation is regarded as very
critical.
The Emperor has sent for Archduke
Albrecht, Field Marshal, for the pur-
pose of concerning important military
measures.
The Government organs maintain
that Russia has broken her word, and
that Austro Hungary will be compelled
to march to the war with England, in
order to force Russia to be faithful to
her promises, and return to her former
programme.
Another dispatch says while the
Hungarian papers are warlike, the
Austrian independent press demand
peace.
Count Andrassy's prolonged inter-
view with the Emperor yesterday, and
the sudden return to Vienna of Arch
duke Albrecht, have given rise to end
less surinises as to the decision pend
ing. Count Andrassy was closeted for
several hours with the Minister of
Finance. The following appeared in
the Count Andrassy organs this morn
ing. 1.-The non-occupation of Constan
tinople is foreinost-tbe most weighty
