pudiate without any breach of National

ton of that treaty the English Government

THE London press favorably comments
on the results of the Congress, the Daily
Nears only excepted. The Times in sum-
ming up the labors Of the Congress, says: ::
"lt has made changes which transform an
Empire, has removed long standing causes
of discomfort, has pacified, we may hope,
the Provinces which were torn by dissen-
| sion and m;srule, and has placed barriers
between rival forms of implacable bigotry.
1t has stopped many avenues of foreign in
| trigue, and, if it has abridged the power of
the Porte, it has given peace to Europe"
In view of the danger of yellow fever be-
| ing brought into the country from Cuba
and points on the Gulf, orders have been
issued to Collectors of ports to enjoin
unusual vigilance on Quarantine officers,
and to rigidly enforce the @ ,arantine
regulations. Both the Surgeon General of
the Marine Hospital Service and the Medi-
cal Director of the Navy, who receives al
most daily reports on this subject, say that
especially during the present heated
weather, too much precaution can not be
taken in seaport cities against the dreaded
epidemic.
Houses and property at Beyreut and
other Syrian villages has risen greatly in
consequence of the English occupation OF
| Cyprus. 1t is not believed war with Greece
will result from the angry, disappointed
feeling of the Greeks at the Berlin treaty
but it is thought the boundary question can
| only be settled upon Intervention of the
powers. Oily Annis, a Greek Envoy to
Berlin, is now in London, and may be able
to arrange a method for bringing the ques
ton to a settlement through British inf1u
ence. Tue Greek are maintaining state
of insurrection and anarchy in Thessaly
and Epirus, fearing the pacifcation there
would enable the Turks to indefinitely post
pine compliance with the directions O.
the treaty of Berlin. The ambassadors o
the powers are delaying the dispatch o
Turkish troops in ironclads to the Greel
coast, pending the efforts at Diplomacy il
motion.

E of the principle of Natl -nalities aud popr
, lar sovereignty, affirming the solidarity
f the Italians with the peoples bought an
' sold by the Congress, and reminding Ital

foreign domination, and looking for speed
: justice. The meeting was orderly, but

!, in the evening, with shouts of "Long Ii,
Trieste" The authorities posted trool
around the Corso and issued a few sur
>, monses against the demonstrators. A sim
- lar meeting was held in Genoa.
