LONDON, May 80, 1873.
The special correspondent Of the HERALD
at St. Petersburg telegraphs that Count
Schouvaloff is expected to return to the
Russian capital after the negotiations at
London are finished. There is no hope of
Prince Gortschakoff being able to go to Ber-
lin, and General Ignatieff is again being
urged as a substitute.

The St Petersburg correspondent OF the Times
says more serious danger than the protests
OF the extreme section Of the press against
Russian CONCESSIONS is the strong oppo.
sition against Count Schouvalon in the
higher Official spheres. This opposition has been
active Tor some weeks but as yet has had little
success In this connection strong presumably

ARE THEY ANXIOUS FOR PEACE?
The Times Paris correspondent telegraphs as fol-
l0ws:-"Thc guarded nature of Sir Stafford North
cotcs statement made IN the House OF Commons on
Monday has produced almost CONSERVATION here.'
The correspondent points out that the question
is, can England be content with the treaty being
placed before the Congress by Germany, as Russians
not placing 1t herself amounts to a tacit protest
against the principle maintained by England 1t is
not thought, however. that the difficulty is insur-
noun table.
AN EvENTFUL DAY.
The Daily Telegraph. In its leading editorial
article, says to.days Cabinet Council will
decide upon the instructions to the British
representative to the Congress. According

limitations in Asia, and arrangements are in view
to get rid OF the indemnity entirely.
A BRITISH PRorECToRATE.
The Times IN leading article yesterday advo-
Gates species OF British protectoratc or admins
trative supervision for Asiatlc Turkey. 1t appears
that some c1ectual assistance must be afforded TO
Turkey to prevent periodical recurrence OF such
crises as the present; that some constant pressure
must be applied to the governing authorities to
Insure good government Europe as a whole. il
says, cannot ercctually discharge such a task.
Russia cannot, because the Turks dstrust her.
NO DESIRE FOR TERRITORY.
England, on the contrary, is not suspected OF
any desnc Tor territorial acquisition She has
proved In India her capacity for dealing with Mo.

territories including the most varied races Her
guidance ana the support OF her authority would
offer perfectly neutral, but ut the same time

BOLD, But LIKE BRITAIN
IL would be bold measure, but for that reason n
wise one, II we were TO make up our minds to
assume this position In respect 10 Asiatic iurkey
With Turkey In Europe we are less concerned

done in respect to the remainder OF the Turkish
Empire.

risk to England.
BISMARCK HAS BEEN or Use
Tho Paris correspondent OF the Times points out
that the French government (the correspondent
might have said the French newspaper press asc)
received cary information OF the peaceful tendency
OF the negotiations from Berlin, and dwclls on the
three.od significance OF this lact--nrst. it shows
that Prince Bismarck has really contributed TO the
success OF Count Schouvaon's mission and tho
meeting OF the Congress, and that is q consider
able step toward The conclusion OF peace: second
1t shows that the relations between Germany and
France have entered phase wnIch In itself con-
sttutcs q considerable element OF peace.
FORTUNATE ~ ALL RESPECTS.
Lastly 1t shows how happy has been the selection
Of So. Waller TO represent the French Republic at
Berlin and how his cooperation with NJ wadding-
ton has contributed to a peaceful policy The
patty 7pieg,aph's vienna correspondent also re-
marks that had 1t not been for Prince Bismarck
