1t is iumored that Beaconsfeld will he the SEN
Tor English rel preventative at the congress.
The Agence de Russo, at st. Petersburg, to-day
announces that congress will hold but one session
to settle the basis of peace and sign a definite
treaty, and the congress will make arrangements
for an execution of the treaty aud Tor the orgaa-
ization of various local comm lssions to supervise
the same. The conference for ambassadors at
Constaniinople will supervise operations of these
commissions.
The Republque Franchise states that the issue
OF Invitations to congress may now be hourly ex-
pected On the other hand a despatch to the
Times from Berlin last night, says negotiations
between England and Russia have not reached a
state permitting Germany to issue invitations.
Vienna correspondent of the Telegraph saws
Austria has just received satisfactory assurance ON
the subject OF the boundaries of Bulgaria, and
Russian occupation of the province.
The Agence Russo publishes an article which
seeks TO demonstrate how greatly the wealth and
prosperity of Egypt would be increased by Euro
pean adminisu alton.
The Berlin correspondent of the Times saws
Austria has notified Russia of Der intention to &C.
cupy the island of Adakaler, but neither received
nor asked Russia's consent.
The ST. Petersburg Golas says Count Andrassy's
declsrations are direct menace to RussiAs posi-
ton 10 Roumsnis and Bulgaria.
The lnvaladide Russo SAYS Austria could mob
ilze 1900 men and supply them with twenty
five days ratOns for 45, 000, 900 forms. Her Co.
100000 credit must mean something more than
precaution. Russia must take counter measures.
A st. Petersburg despatch to the Times says
the people are greatly dissatisfied at the secret
negotiations now 10 nrogress. They fear the re-
suit of the war will be nulfed. The Austrian
occupation of Askseh confirms them in their
suspicious. The prospects Of a congress, there
fore does not give universal satisfaction.
The Daily Telegraphs Vienna correspondent
says: The Austrian government utterly dis
trusts Russia, and this feeling is now shared bv
the court anu cabinet, so that Austria's policy is
no Longer hsmpered by divided councils"

ciently improved to give much hope of his atte0d-

scarcely hope to travel for some weeks.
The Ageuce Russo says that if Prince Gort-
schakoff is unable to be present at the congress.
