The Vienna correspondent of the Times
says Russia does not contest the right OF
the Congress to decide what clauses OF the
treaty involve European interests. England
demands that the Congress shall have
power to discuss all the clauses Neither

AN EvENTFUL ANNIVERSARY.
special despatch from Vienna says:-"Russia
has intimated her desire that the Congress meet
on the 3oth of March, which is the twenty-second

seems hardly possible that everything can be
ready so soon"
AT THE CONGRESS.
In reply to a question In the House Of Commons
yesterday afternoon, Sir Stafford Northcote, Chan
ceilor OF the EXchequer, said:-.'The government
have agreed, in principle, to take part in the con-
terence or Congress. The government are now
communicating with the various Powers, regard.

FREE AS AIR.
The Chancellor also said that he could not enter
into details, but he might say that in the Congress
each Power would maintain liberty OF action. Il
was not intended that the majority should bind
the minority. England will maintain her views In
the Congress- and will require before entering 1t
that every article Of the treaty Of peace shall be
placed before the Congress In such a'nanner that
the Congress can judge whether the articles are to
be accepted or not
GRECIAN REPRESENTATION.
The Vienna correspondent of the Times, discuss.
Ing the rumor that Russia will concede Greece rep
resentation ut the Congress provided RoumanIa
Servia and Montenegro are represented, says
Itwould seem that Russia has less interest than
the other Powers III the admission OF these minor
States. Servia deems herself badly used about
territorial accessiOns. Montenegro Is doubtful
whether more may not be gained from Austa's
friendship than Russias and Roumania Is irritated
to the last degre by the demand Tor Bessarabia.
VIOLENT DISPUTE.
The disagreement on this point has become so
violent as almost to threaten an open rupture.
The parties heretofore opposed to the government
policy have ceased their recriminations, and now
support the government in the effort to avert
1t il reported, indeed, that the Foreign Minister
has already addressed circular to the Powers re-
as it afiects Roumania TINS, If true, would mean
open rupture, but 1t requires confirmation.
But such decded step, far from frightening the
Roumanians, would have their unqualified ap-
proval.
AUsTRIA's DEMAND.
A special despatch from Berlin to the Times
SAYS 1.-THE Anglo-Austrian demand that the
whole of the RussoTurkish agreement shall be
