burg telegraphs as follows:-' 'The Russian
government has employed the time which
has elapsed since the receipt of Lord Sails
bury's circular in working to secure an
understanding with England. For this
purpose it has entered into direct commu-
nication with the English and Austrian
governments 80 as to obtain common
basis of agreement. It has already obtained
the assent Of the German and Austrian
Cabinets to the main points of Prince
Gortschakofrs reply to Lord Salisbury's
circular.
MAKING IT EASY FOB ENGLAND.
ut has already been established between
the three governments that the way shall
be made easy for the English Cabinet. SO
that it may feel justified in accepting the
Congress and receding gradually from the
Salisbury's circular. In this way it is hoped
that the danger Of useless and bloody war
may be averted and an amicable solution be
found for existing difficulties
.IGNATIEFT's HAND IN THE REPLY.
Those portions Of the Russian reply
which were commentary on the English
circular were written by General Ignatieff,
who. having recently seen Count Andrassy
and ascertained his views, was enabled to
make it SO as not to clash with Austrian in
terestS General Ignatieff will be the Sec
ond Russian Plenipotentiary to the Berlin

enable England to enter it without any
sacrifice of dignity"

ndental assurances. The correspondents inform
