CIIIICOTIE LIVINGSTON CO, THURSDAY, FEB l. 1873

ed to the British government her intention
of submitting it to Europe. This apparent
fairness is believed to be due to the certain
ty Of carrying her point in any Conference
or Congress of European Powers. There Is
also reason to believe that Russian troops
day. as Russian transports have been or
dered in readiness at odessa and other
Black Sea ports.
THE RUSSIAN ADVANCE FORCE
has reached Schorlon, half way between
Demctlca and COnstantinople. Suleiman
Pasha and Baker Pasha are at Ben Lair,
fortfying the isthmus leading to Gallpoli,
and should peace negotiations now fail,
Russia will undoubtedly attack that
point. Hopes of immediate peace are
rapidly diminishing. The Tribune's
Vienna correspondent telegraphs that
Austria has raised serious objection to
Russa's terms. and that the entente cor
dale between those Powers has been great
ly interrupted. My own information here
is to the same effect, for the reason that
England is evidently counting on Austra's
assistance in curbing Russla's demands.
GERMANY
still holds aoof from any suggestion, and
is evidently in active sympathy with Russia
The Tribune's Berlin correspondent re-
CARDS the situation as extremely danger
GUS to the peace of Europe, corroborating
his opinion by extracts from SEMI official
utteranccs. 1t Is unerstood that Austria and
England are trying to bring about a Euro
pean conference at once,
TO MEET IN BERLIN.
Germany neither approves nor disap-
proves, but will take part If such Il confer
ences is held. The Liberal members of
Parliament have decided to present an
amendment to thu Government request for
war supplies to the effect that, there being
no information at hand to justify depart
ure from neutrality, there is no reason for
voting Unnecessary supplies. This will be
made a test vote, and il the amendment is
lost, no further opposition to the vote of
supplies will be made.
The London Times" editorally takes
rather an alarming view of the situation,
and fears that. should supplemental sup
plies be granted, such action will be only
forward step toward war.
AustIIa's Movement.
A dispatch from Vienna says the
Austrian ambassador at st. Petersburg is
understood to have delivered to Prince
Gortschakotr a note declaring that Austria
in no way disputes Turkeys right to con-
clude treaties in her own interest, but must
consider the arrangements at Kesantik so
far as they may modify the present treat
les or touch Austrian interests as not fall
ing within the right of Turkey until new
arrangements have been made with the
signatory powers of the treaty of Paris.
Wants II Lasting Peace.
The following is the text of the Cars
telegram to the Sultan: Il desire peace as
much as you, but it is necessary for me
necessary for us-that it should be Il solid
and durable peace"
Turkey Not Civilized.
The Journal de st. Petersburg says:
If Turkey were II civilized power, caring
Tor the interest OF all her subjects, the pres
ent occupation of her provinces might COM
p'l her to make cnsus belli. The case is
tthorwise, and the conclusion of peace is
hardly possible
Proposed Peace Congress.
A dispatch from London on the 3D.
says England and Austria have taken ex-
actly the same course with regard to the
peace conditions, though acting entirely
independent of each other, and Russia has
therefore consented to refer all questions
affecting European interests TO the great
powers. Whether these questions will be
settled by these powers through a congress
or through separate negotiations with each
cabinet, has not yet been determined, but
1t is likely that Congress will assemble in
Vienna or Berlin.
