GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS.
A Vienna correspondent says it is no secret
that the chief object of the recall of Grand
Duke Nicholas is to lessen the friction and d.
attendance at mass in Constantinople and the
grand review at San stefano. were
entirely due to the initiative Of Grand
Duke Nicholas, and were countermanded
from st. Petersburg. AS the advance to San
Stefano was also attributed to the grand
actuated partly by wish to spare him mortifi-
cation in the event of withdrawal being ulti-
mately decided upon. The same correspond
ent says rumors relative to decision on the
part of Austria to occupy Bosnia, and form a
corpsof observation in Pennsylvania, ETC., are
premature, although the probabilities of such
measures have doubtless increased.

! ENoI4AND's POSITION.
| A,,;l Hor1xy eacro
| tary for India, presiding at banquet IN Brad
ford tonight, said the government took it's
stand upon public faith and honesty and upon
the declaration of 1871, that party to an
engagement could not withdraw from it with
out the consent of the rest. He denied that
1 the government was Indifferent to the wrongs
Of Turkish Christians, but the policy Of a great
power could not be destroyed by an incident,
| however horrible. The real question was,
whether England had, or had not great inter
est in the East. He maintained that the treaty
of San Stefano, in it's present shape did not con-
tain single element of permanent peace. The
interest Of the Greek and Mussulman popu-
lation must be protected as well as those OF
1 the Sclaves. These measures of the British
government were not warlike, but. precautlon'
airy. war party or war ministry was an i'm.
possibility in England. Ii a people went t.
war it must not be for the sake of victories

ment were determined to maintain the princi
! pies by which their conduct on the Eastern
question had hitherto been actuated.
