The Queens Message.

LONDON, April l,-Sir Stafford
Northcote, Chancellor Of the EIehequer,
announced in the House of Commons
this afternoon that Lord Salisbury had
been appointed Foreign Secretary.
The Queens message for calling out
the reserves was read by the Speaker. 1t
Is as follows:
The present state Of public affairs in
the East and the necessity OF taking
steps for the maintenance Of peace, and
for the protection of the interests OF the
Empire, having constituted, in the opin-
Ion OF Her Majesty, a case of great emer-
gency within the meaning OF the acts Of
Parliament, in that behalf, Her Males
ty deems it proper to provide additional
means for the public service; therefore in
pursuance of these acts Her Majesty has
thought it right to communicate to the
House of Commons that she is about to
direct that the reserve force and militia
reserve force, or such part thereof as Her
Majesty may think necessary. be forth
with called out for permanent service.
The discussion of the message was
postponed until Monday next.
Effect of Derby's Resignation.
LONDON, April IA st. Petersburg
Dispatch states that Lord Derby's resig-
nation of the foreign Office was a COM
plete surprise, and caused an immense
sensation in official circles Lord Derby,
says the dispatch, is reproached for hsv.
ing misled Russia and England by going
as far as he did in a direction which he
disapproved.
A Vienna dispatch says: In conse.
vuence of Lord Derby'S resignation, and
the calling out OF the reserves,
Austria has ceased her efforts
to effect compromise about the
Congress, feeling sure that Russia
will not yield to England's demand now,
when doing so would seem somewhat like
submitting before threat, but what may
not be possible now may become so later,
as the interruption OF the negotiations in
regard to the congress and the order for
the mobilization of the reserves in
England, need not be followed At once by
an actual collision between the two
powers and the convection may be
forced upon them that, after all, the con-
gress offers the only possible chance OF q
peaceful settlement.
IEnatiefi's Mission.
The impression is that whatever may
have been originally the object of General
Ignstlef's mission, he confined himself
in fact to giving andy receiving in
formation, and returns to st. Petersburg
to report what he heard. lie probably
discovered that Austria is too anxious for
the European condemnation OF the treaty
of San Steisno TO enter into any bargain
about it with Russis alone, which would
seem TO have gwen it Austrian
sanction. Moreover, General IgnatietiS
later declarations indicate that after he
communicated the feeling here TO st.
Petersburg, he received no instructions
which forbade him 10 go so far in the
direction of concession to Austria IS he
al first expressed himself He claimed
that this was probably because after
Englsnd's determination singly to resist
that portion of the treaty unacceptable
to her, it was hardly worth
while for Russia to surrender
that large portion of it unacceptable
to Austria, without knowing whether
she would be able to maintain any of it
or not. The peace at any price tendency
is still, however, very strong in Vienna.
Herr Tirza's visit here was arranged
before Saturdays demonstration in the
Hungarian Diet, and it Is not, therefore,
in Consevuence of it, but it may b0 sup
