| secured by the destruction OF all which had been
solemnly ratified by all Europe or by the predomi-

SEEKING PEACE.
1t was TO secure durable place that the govern
| ment were seeking entrance into congress where
| views might be freely heard upon every question
eecting the treaties OF 1855 and 1870. They looked
TO the people to enable them 10 speak with force
and decision, which would give effect to their arms.
vIcToRIA's FIGHT FOR INDIAN EMPIRE
1t IS understood ut Aldershot that the queen has
expressed her intention OF naming an early day to
review the First army corps in It's now complete
state.
MAY YET be CONVINCED.
Tie Vienna Political correspondence has letter
from London stating that the British governmcn mt
stul considers Il possible that Russia may appre-
clate to the full extent England's carnestness. In
the contrary case England will take into her own
hands, at her risk, the rectication OF Russias
work in the Balkans, the peninsula ana on the
Asiatic coast OF the Black Sea. II is possible that
before embarking upon this course England win
summon conference In London.
EIGHTY THOUSAND VOLUNTEERS.
At o meeting OF the Committee TO Promote the
Organization OF the Active Service Volunteer
Army, held last night, two generals, five colonies
and many members OF Parliament joined the conf

WHAT 1T MEANS.
The Pail NAL Gazette in its leading editorial
article last evening sad:-.The solicitation to us
OF Germany, Austria and Italy to propose plan or
our own amounts to neither more nor less than
verbally modified orer OF the principle Of cquiva-
Tents as the bases OF settlement for the Eastern
question.
CANNOT BE CONSIDERED.
"That offer has been again and again declined by
Her Maesty's Ministers during the progress OF the
late war, and we have no fear Of their accepting
| it at time when they would incur more
splcuous discredit by 80 doing than on any past
OCCASION"
CONFLICTING REPORTS.
The news from the various capitals IN regard to
the political situation Is very conflicting. Rome
despatch contradicts the statement that Italy has
asked England to state her views, while Berlin
despatch reafirms 1t and says the question Is
being repeated by Austria, Italy and Germany
BISMARCK STOPS WORK.
A despatch to the Times, from St. Petersburg,
declares that Prince Bismarck has ceased mcd-
| ating, while dispatches from Berlin ana Vienna
state the exact opposite very positively. 1t Is i'm.
possible to exact the truth from these various
assertions, but the Times St. Petersburg corrc-
spondent undoubtedly derives his information from

MEASURES or rr,EcArTaoN. !.

tivity and turbulence Detpg excited by RUSSIA
to direct The Austrian forcess Servi,ts sroRly

rection OF Bosnia, where Austria could not permit

NOT A PARTY WITH RUSSIA.
| The Daily telegraph has Vienna despatch say
| ing:-"whateveT measures OF precaution the gov
| eminent may have resolved upon, Russia Is not
| q party to them They have Germanyis sanction,
| possibly they were suggested from Berlin, but
| Austria Is still free to her future movements"
NOTHING DECISIVE.
II Is worthy or notice that the Times Vienna
correspondent. who IL the best informed and most
| Trustworthy and careful OF all the special con-
| trbutors to the London press, discusses the po-
81 ton at considerable length, but has not word
to say about the attitude OF Austria. This Is fair
indication that no decision has been reached at
Vienna.
RoUMANIA MORE QUIET
The tension Roumana has been greatly re-
levcd by the circular OF M. Bratiano, the Rou-
manian Ministe President to the Projects, caution

convention with Russia has expired, ana enjoin.

have prevented an enormous amount OF violent
and exceedingly impolitic agitation"
