THE RADICAL AGITATION IN ITALY.
LONDON, July 1.-THE radical agitation
in Italy against Austria's gains at Berlin and
in favor of the acquisition of Trentino;
etc., is becoming so prominent that the
government is apprehensive of its effect upon
Austria's susceptibihties. Published in the
Dirrecto, a ministerial journal, is an attempt
to turn public attention from the dangerous
subject of Austria g success to that of the
English acquisition of Cyprus, the discussion
of which is not likely to cause trouble, espe
cially as, the Manifesto declares, Italy could
not at Berlin, and cannot elsewhere, attempt
to hinder British action, which all other pow
ers accepted.
INCREASED VALUES in CYPRUS SINCE BRIT
ISL OCCUPATION.
LONDON, July 17.-House property at Bey
rant and other Syrian villages has risen
greatly in consequence of the British occupa-
ton of Cyprus. 1t is not believed that war
with Greece will result from the angry and
disappointed feeling of the Greeks at the
Berlin treaty, but it is thought that the
boundary question can only be settled upon
by the Intervention of the powers. Delyan-
MS, the Greek envoy to Berlin, now in Lon
don, may be able to arrange method for
bringing the question to settlement through
British influence.
THE. INsURRECTIONARY GREEKS.
LONDON, July 1.-THE Greeks are main,
tanning a state of instruction and anarchy in
Thessaly!and Epirus. Fearing that pacihcation
there would enable the Turks indefinitely to
postpone compliance with the directions of
the treaty of Berlin, the ambassadors of
the powers are delaying the dispatch of the
Turkish troops In the iron -clads to the Greek
coast, pending the efforts to set diplomacy in
motion.
THE FUNERAL OF THE SPANISH QUEEN.

Queen Mercedesf Of Spain. takes place to-day.
PREMATURE STATEMENT.
LONDON, July 1.-THE statement pub
ished in the Daily Nesos of yesterday that
the opposition leaders had decided to oppose
the policy OF the Angio-Turkish convention
ject was premature. the opposition leaders
will await Lord Beaconsfeld's statement in
parliament tomorrow before determining on
their policy. 1t is unlikely that the liberals
will approve or support the governments
measures. The leading liberals and radicals
will undoubtedly disclaIm the responsibility
for the financial and political results of the
Anglo RUSSIAN treaty, but it is not certain
that the official leaders of the opposition will
force division wherein they are sure to en-
counter an overwhelming defeat.

menced OH the Paris bourse to-day OF the
new French loan of twelve million dollars, in
the form of three per cent. annuities. An
apprehension that the loan will be made

AN EXCERPT FROM LORD sALIsBURYS CIR
CULAR.
LONDON, July 17.-Lord Salisbury, in his
official dispatch from Berlin of the thirteenth
instant to the ministers in London, which Is
now published, quotes the following from his
circular of the first of April: The separate
and individual operation of the clauses of
the San Stefano treaty, whether defensible
or not, is not that which should engage the
most earnest attention of the signatory pow
ers. Their combined effect, in addition to
the results upon the Greek populations and
on the balance of the maritime powers,
which have been already pointed out, is to
depress almost to point of entire subsection
the political independence of the government
of ConstantinoplC. 1t cannot be otherwise
than a matter of extreme solicltude that that
government should be so closely pressed by the
political outposts of greatly superior power
that its independent action or even existence
is almost impossible. To these cardinal OBJ
jections, says the present circular, the con-
gress of Berlin has supplied an entire RENE
dy. The Greek populations no longer fall
within the boundaries of the autonomous
Slav principahty, and all Russian influence
has been removed to a distance from the
shores of the Kgean sea. The same terrific
rial arrangements have the effect of attaining
the essential aim which, in their recent
negotiations, her majesty's government
have had In view-the Independent existence
and action OF the government at CONSTANT
nople. The political outpost Of the Russian
power have been pushed back to a region be-
yond the Balkans, and its opportunities for
establishing au influence in reduced Bulgaria
have been materially diminished. The sui
tan's domlnlons have been provided with
defenslble frontier, far removed from his cap
ital. The interposition of the Austrian power
between the two Slavonlc States-while it
withdraws from him no territory of strate-
alcal or financial value-offers him a security
against renewed aggression on their part
which no other possible arrangement could
have furnished. Rich aud extensive prov
inces have been restored to his rule; at the
same that careful provision has been made
which will, it is hoped, assure their loyalty
and prevent recurrence of the calamities
which have brought the Ottoman power to
the verge of ruin. Arrangements of a differ
ent kind, out having the same end in view,
have been provided for the-Asiatic dominions
of the sultan, with security for the present,
and hope of prosperity and stability in the
