"BLUE" As INDIGO
The London correspondent OF the Manchester
Guardian says:-"The improved symptoms Of the
Eastern. question noticed on Wednesday have
rapidly passed away. The congress Is now re-
garded as virtually abandoned"
EFFoRTs TO cAJoLE AUSTRIA.
The Vienna correspondent OF the Times tele-
graphs as follows:-'The impression still prevails
that In spite OF the little promising answer that
Russia maintains her former standpoint, negotia-
tions must not be regarded az altogether broken
on, since Russia just now, as may be
coDjectured from tho successive arrivals OF
Prince Alexander OF Hesse and General Ignaticn,
lays some stress on showing herself as concintory
as possible to Austria, and on trying to re-
move the bad impression produced here by the
preliminary treaty. This government, more than
any otner, may be IN q position TO find
compromise satisfactory to both sdes. So long as
the slightest chance remains Of the real congress
Of al the stgnatory Powers, thus securing the pos
ssbiltty OF European settlement, 1t will be tena-
ctously chung to here. Ali EFFORTS viii be concen-
truted ON increasing these chances and on remov.

ANrI-RUssIAN ATTITUDE.
The Daily Telegraph has o Vienna despatch say
ing:-"A sudden and unaccountable change In tho
governments attitude Is reported. II is said that
Count Andrassy has only been ieigning concur
renee with the Court party, and that he Is now pre-
panng to oppose Russia openly with the entire
Hungarian party ut his back.''
SENTIMENT IN RUSSIA.
The Tines st. Petersburg correspondent sends
the following as the view and mode of reasoning
current there:-''The British Cabinet in demanding
other Powers support. must have one OF two
aims-either 10 innict formal humiliation on Russia
or to get out Of the necessity of attending
the Congress-. In the former case Russia
cannot make any concession; IN the latter the Con-
gress will not be held, and Russia will endeavor to
come to an arrangement with Germany and Aus
tria. Thus England condemns herself to isolation,
makes the triple alliance political necessity, and
perhaps renders inevitable that radical solution
OF the Eastern question which she wishes to
prevent"
A MAD WAR PARTY.
A despatch from st. Petersburg. received at
Paris, says that there Is an excited party there
