AsT rETERsBURG CORRESPONDENT SAYS:
The British cabinet in demanding the
formal assurance from Russia, which none
OF the other powers support, must have
one of the two aims Either to enflict q
formal humiliation upon Russia, or to g,t
rid Of the necessity of attending the con-
gress. In the former case, Russia cannot
make any concessions; in the latter the
congress will not be held, and Russia will
endeavor u come t. an arrangement with
Germany and Austria. Thus, England
condemns herself to isolation, makes tri-
pie alliance political necessity, and per.
haps renders inevitable thst radical solu
tion Of the eastern question, which she
wishes TO prevent.
NO CONCESSIONS To AUSTRIA.
A dispatch from St Petersburg, says:
There is an excited party there who oppose
any concession to Austria, which might i'm.
pair the treaty of San Stefano--considcred
sufficiently hnmlliating for Russia already.
So long as the slightest chance remains OF a
real congress Of all the signatory powers,
thus securing the possibility Of an European
settlement, 1t will be tenaciously cluDg to
here. All effort, will be concentrated on
increasing these chances. and on removing
obstacles In the way Of The congress The
pro Russian party is urging the govern
ment to accept Bosnia. Herzegovina and the
territory on the II seau sea.
ANOTHER CORRESPONDENT SAYS
A sudden and unaccountable change in
the government attitude Is reported. tits
said that Count Andrassy has only been

and that he Is now preparing 10 oppose
Russia openly. with the entire Hungarian
party st his back.
