four ironclads, instead Of six, as orig.
nally demanded.
AUSTRIA'S POSITION.
A Vienna dispatch under date of Feb,
25th, says Joint council of the Minis.
tiers of Austria and Hungary was he'd
to-day and lasted five hours. The En-.
peror presided. Count Andrassy said
he desired vote of confidence ands
vote of credit for military purposes TO
support Austrla's views at the confer.
ence, as some of Russia's conditions, es
pecially the holding of Bul garia as Sc
curity for indemnity were inadmissibh
The Ministers empowered Count An
Grassy to ask the delegations for credi
not exceeding 100000 horins. Bol
Count Andrassy and the Emperor as
sured the counsel that they earnesy
desired peace.
THE SITUATION.
London advices of the 23rd inst.
state that the situation on yesterday Wa
rather tame in comparison with the ez
element of previous days. The pro
nounced war elements are very clamm
Gus and indignant over the agreemat
with Russia, which they regard as d. |
graceful compromise and lowerigd
British dignity. The more modnH
rejoice over the conclusion, regaMg
it as having removed the most dsgE
Gus element in the Anglo-Saxon sas
ton.
THE USUAL DISTURBING RUMORs
prevailed, among which the threadban
one concerning the Russian occupatN
of Constantinople again become prom
nent, and found some believers. An
other old one, to the effect that the Rus
SLAMS are to have the main part Ofthe
Turkish fleet, also did duty once more
and produced some alarm among the
more nervous.
EVACUATED.
The latest advices from st. Petersburg
report that the Russian troops, undg
command of Gen. Todleben, have en-
tered Rustchuk and that the eyacua-
ton of Erzeroum, which. has been de-
layed in consequence of the severity O.
the weather. had been commenced anl
was expected to be completed on Thur"
day.
PRINCE BIsMARCKs SPEECH
still continues to attract a consideraOe
share of attention on the continent, raV'
ticu.arly in Vienna, where reading the
full text has removed somewhat the
uneasy feeling that prevailed from the
perusal only of a summary Both IRON
there and from Pesth come statemenh
to the effect that if in the end Austrc
Hungary should be forced into decaE
ing war against Russia for the protec
ton of the interests of the MONARCHY
tn nation will look to Germany to pre-
serve strict neutrality.
UNABATED WAR PREPARATIONS
continue on the part of England, Au~
tria and Russia. 1t is believed, nov"
ever, that this active preparation ac'u
ally lessons the risk of the occurrence
Of hostilities.
NAMYK PAsHA's MISSION.
A Vienna dispatch under date o
Feb. 23rd, states that the mission o
Namyk Pasha to st. Petersburg ns
been abandoned and it is believed tha.
the peace negotiations are all agree
upon except one or two points, Prov
bly, those in relation to the fleet and tnS
Bulgarian frontier; and that concllls'Op
may soon be reached.

War News.
THE NEGOTIATIONS.

A Vienna dispatch under date
of Feb. 2S,h says that the pause
in negotiations, is owing to Rus
sia insisting on the cession of Turkish
iron-clads and the occupation of Con-
stantinople. England is prepared to
respond to such measures by entering
the Black Sea. Germany is endeavor-
ing to mediate between England and
Russia and the task has not been much
facilitated by the publication of peace
conditions.

AUsTRIA's CREDIT VOTE.

1t is now stated upon trustworthy
information that as the amount .Of
credit asked for by Count Andrassy is
only sixty million forms, there is no
ground to apprehend that Count An
drassv means to make use of it simply
to mobilize the army. The object of
the vote of credi, is rather that the
government may have the appearance
of being prepared for all emergencies.
MAKING PEACE.
A Paris dispatch dated Feb. 9th,
SAYS at II cabinet council to-day a tele-
gram from The ambassador at Constan-
tinople WAS read, announcing the con-
clusion of peace between Russia and
Turkey, stating, however, that the trea-
tv would not be signed for some days.
THE RUSSIAN WAR PARTY.
1t is reported that Duke Nicholas and
the war party have arranged peace
terms in defiance of Prince Gortscha-
kotf. whom they desire TO replace by
General Igna,ieif,
TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE CONFERENCE.
A St. Petersburg dispatch, under GATE
of Feb. 9th, says the question of the
straits is to be submitted to the confer
ence when, if England, as is probable.
