POLICY OF THE BRITISH m1S1srRy.


LONDON, April 23.-The Daily News, in
leading editorial, says the policy of the
British ministry is becoming matter of
growing importance. Referring to the pres
ent military preparations, it says: They
may be mere precautions, but there is not
one of them which does not mark our pro-
greEs to state of war. They are SO under
stood abroad, and every one of them in
creases the difficulty of maintaining peace.
It is exceedingly doubtful whet her
the full import of some of those so-called
precautions is yet realized. Most important
of all, the despatch of native troops from
India has been passed over with very little
remark, although the measure marks revo-
luton in our Indian military policy. OF its
effect on India there will be only too many
occasions of speaking. The Indian govern
ment was wise to gag the vernacular press
before calling the natives of India to the
aid of nation which holds their
country by the right Of conquest
That is subject on which a free native
press would certainly have had much to say
just now, however, we are concerned to know
where these troops are about to be put. The
native troops are preparing to come, but
where they will be landed is ministerial Sc
cret. At Calcutta it is given out that their des-
tinatlon is Malta and it may be, but if so, where
are the troops going who are already in that
garrison. We may take it for certain that
the Indian troops will not be landed in
Malta. In addition to those who are already
there, Malta is full. and the only inference
which can be drawn is, that In the plan of
ho Ix, r.
regiments arrive at their destination, at
present unknown, there will be found
use either for them or for the corps
they will displace. 1t is quite as likely
that the troops will be landed at some Turk
ish port as that they will 60 to Malta. Very
little time can elapse before we know what
is intended by the government We may
suppose that resolution all depends upon
this OF that contingency, but the practical
lesson of the last few weeks is that IN these
matters resclute hand is guiding the
mlstlfied people to an appointed end.

posal has been accepted. The Porte is not
acquainted with the exact nature of
this insurrection, but it is supposed the in
surgents consist of three battlions of the
former garrison Of Ninch, who, on retreat
ing to the mountains, joined the scattered
remains of Sulieman Pasha's army, and have
since been reinforced by the Mussulmen in
habitants of the locality. This revolt is be

Russe says the situation is unchanged.
LONDON, April PA dispatch from St.
Pc tersburg says Grand Duke Nicholas will
return here in about ten days. Prince
Gortschakoff is indisposed.
Paris journals state that invitations to
congress to examine the changes
necessary in existing treaties have been
semi-oficially communicated to the several
powers. All except England have declared
their readiness to accept the invitation un-
reserved]y. England still insists on the con-
dition that all great changes in the East,
such as those proposed by the treaty of San
Stefano, shall be treated as European. and
not merely as Turko-Russian questions.
