AN EFFORT TO CHECKMATE THE ENGLISH
WAR PARTY.
LONDON, May H. Lord Harrington 8 res
olutlon, that no forces be raised or kept by the
crown In time of peace, save within India,
without the sanction of parliament indicates
the determination of the opposition in the
house OF commons to make united attack on
what is generally conceded to he the most
Vulnerable point of the governments policy.
Delay, however, seems to entirely favor the
government, and whether the debate on the
resolution occurs in fortnight or next Mon
day, by either date the probable onset on
Count Schouvalof's journey should be pretty
well known.
&, In the house of commons, this afternoon,
Sir Stafford Northcote agreed to the discus
sion on Monday next of Lord Harrington s
resolution, that the crown raise or keep no
forces In time of peace, save in India, with
out the sanction of parliament.
Fawcett has withdrawn the notice which
he gave on the ninth instant, that on going
into committee OF supply on the supple
mentary estimates, he would move that the
house disapproves of the summoning of the
India troops to Malta, without first commu-
nlcatlng that intention to parliament.
GENERAL ToDLEBEN's MOVEMENTS.
Advices indicate that despite General Todle-
ben s effort the Porte will not evacuate Varna
and Batoum. Shumla' will probably be surren-
dered, partly as satisfaction to the Russians
and partly because it ceased to be of great i'm
portance since the Russians established them
selves on its line of communication with Var
ma. Moreover, the thirty battalions of regur-
lars now In Shumia are believed to be more
useful in Constantinople. Military critics as
sert that IN case of war with the British, and
the Turks hold Varna and Batoum, the Rus
slams must withdraw from the Thacisn PENN
sula and from the Erzeroum and Trebizond
line, and that this accounts for General Tod
Ieuens lnslstence, even at the risk of pIeiu-
dicing the negotiations between London and
st. Petersburg. The convection is general
that the object of appointing General Todle-
ben commander-in-ch chief was that he might
rescue the army from the unsafe position into
which the political motive of approaching
Constantinople had drawn it.
FRESH COMPLICATIONS IN ROUMANIA
Reports are current at Vienna of fresh
complications IN Roumapia, 1t Is stated that
the Russian eleventh army corps has been
pressed forward the past week SO as to en-
tirely isolate BuKarest from Little Wallachia,
where the Roumanian army is concentrated.
The Russian diplomatic representative used
every effort to prevent Prince Charles from
going to the army, but the latter's position
has been made intolerable by the military
and political control assumed by the Russians
in the capital aud throughout the country.
1t IS asserted that the Russians are urging
the Roumanians to refuse to pay taxes, and
to dethrone Prince Charles, who they de-
nounce as a German and Catholic; but the
popular feeling is entirely in sympathy with
the Prince; The Roumanians are looking
an1lously,. to Austria, which does not
seem disposed, for the present, at
least, to go beyond the concentra-
ton of troops, and Strengthening of
fortresses on the Transylvanian frontier.

VIENNA, May 14.-In the Austrian reichs-
rath, to-day, Prince Auersperg, president of
OF the cabinet council, in reply to an inter
pellation respecting the alleged intention to
| occupy Bosnia and Herzegovina, said that

either regarding the end or means. The
government, while striving to secure in Bos-

| would prevent periodical occurrences of dis

tended to Withdraw the question from the
| consideration of the congress which may be
convoked for the settlement of~the eastern
J question. They have never sought to solve

any single power. All reports to the contrary

the relchstag, Monday, two socialists openly
invited rebuke by refusing to join in loya
cheers which the president of the chamber
proposed, bat no attention was paid tc them
| All attempts to establish liR1el's insanity
as well as his independence of the socia
