Prospect OF the Renewal of the Con

LONDON, April 3.-This mornings
news shows little change in the position
OF the eastern question. Simultaneous
dispatches from Berlin and St. Petersburg
say that there are some grounds for ex-
pecting the renewal of the Congress ne
gotiations on the basis of 3 proposal made
by Bismarck, that the powers be
invited to meet to revise the treaties
OF 1856 and 1871. Such al over.
ture from Germany would spare
Russian susceptlbilities. 1t is improbs-
bic, however, that Russia will take any
step or come to any decision until Cen
oral Ignatlef has reported.
The stories that the Russians have be-
gun fresh military movements, and have
made demands for the surrender of the
Turkish positions on the Bosporus are st
tributed to the regular mandatory In
Constantinople of irritating statements
for the purpose of provoking England
and Austria against Russia
Lord SaIisburJ's Circular.
LONDON, April 3.-The Vienna papers,
commenting on Lord Salisbury's circu-
lar to the powers, says that Austria and
England are agreed regarding Lord
Sslisbury's criticism of the treaty OF San
Stetano and the steps necessary to pro-
tect the interests of both states, and eI.
press the conviction that only by
the Difference OF Russia to Lord Sslisbury's
views, can war between England
and Russia be avoided. A special from
Berlin says that Russian reply to Lord
Salisbury's circular is preparing. Prince
Gortschakoft is said TO be anxious to issue
it as soon as possible 10 remove untavora-
bic impressions produced by the Enghs b
circular. The Russian newspapers COM
plain of the increasing hostility OF the
Roumauians. The latter are said to be
hindering the passage OF the Russian
provision columns through their terri
tory and to have threatened to forbid it
altogether.
English Peace Demonstration.
LONDON, April 9-A deputstlon of the
National Liberal Federation to protest
against the attitude of the government,
express their disapproyal OF the calling
out of the re,erves, and TO proclaim the
desire of the Liberal party TO save Great
Britain from the shame and misery OF an
unjust war, were met at the Westmin-
,ter Palace Rotel, this afternoon, by
Lords Granville and harrington. The
deputation numbered about five hundred
representatives from all parts Of the
kingdom. Joseph Chamberlain member
of the House of Commons from Birming-
ham, presided. John Bright introduced
the deputation to Lords Granville
and harrington. Lord Granville in
addressing them, said he required
no stimulous to adopt course likely to
prevent the country from beng dragged
into war, which neither It's honorable en-.
gsgements nor national interests de-
manded. But it would be deceiving
themselves, ana Russia, to conclude that
opposition could prevent the Govern
ment from going to war, if the Govern
ment was bent on q warllke policy.
Lord Harrington said the present duty
of the opposition was to interpose by
every means in its power obstacles TO any
rash and i'll considered action Of the Gov
ernment the result of which might be
