Italy

The new pope has at last fully defined his
attitude towards the Italian government in an
cnHyclical ISSUED on the Goth He distinctly
indorses the policy and acts of his predecessor
condemns civil marriages, and deplorcs the re-
lection of the authority of the church, pro
claiming that to be the cause of all existing
evils, but in language of calmness and dignity
devoid throughout of any tone of ofense OF
violence The encyclical contains no attack
whatever upon the civil government of Italy
nor any mention direct or indirect of the house
of Savoy The pope will continue, like his
predecessor, to play prisoner, and will not quit
the Vatican during the summer

FOREIGN NEWS.
The War Kuinors.

The negotiations, set on foot several weeks
ago by Bismarck for military withdrawal OF
England and Russia from the vicinity of Con
stantinople having hopelessly failed, efforts
have been directed to renewal of negotiations
for a European Congress- thus far equally bar
rem of results Unfortunately, as German
paper expresses it, the negotiations advance
far less rapidly than the ornaments The dis.
agreement between England and Russia seems
10 be narrowed down to question of formulas
England insisting that the Congress shall con.
slider what changes in the treaties of 1856 and
1871 shall be introduced in consequence of re-
cent events while the Russian formula assumes
in advance the partial abrogation of the trea,
ties In other words, England wants the con.
gress to decide how far Europe is to be benefit.
ed by the results of the war, while Russia wants
a decision as to how far Russia is to profit by
the war.
England shows no little uneasiness in regard
10 the rumors of Russia's arrangements with
America to let loose a swarm of privatecrs on
British commerce in case of war; and as re-
spouse to such threats proposes to send ileet
TO the Baltic; whereat Germany takes alarm,
and Won Motke has been sent to Copenhagen
10 negotiate league between Germany, Russia
and Denmark to close the Baltic to hostile
fleets.
Meantime Turkey which has now well
appointed and tolcrably well fed army of $4,000
men in and around Constantinople, gives new
evidence daily Of her friendship for England
and purpose to join hands with her against
Russia; while England's Mohammedan sub
iects in India are enlisting with the utmost en-
thusiasm to fight against Russia. Over 5000
native troops have within the past week been
shipped from Bombay to Malta.
Thus appearances are still warlike, unless
Russia backs down, but of her disposition ul-
timately to do so there is increasing evidence.
The latest dispatches say grand council was
held at St Petersburg on the Goth ult. over
which the Car presided, at which it being ev-
ident that it was necessary either to give way
or precipitate "A rupture, the decision was in
favor of the former course. 1t is evident Eng
land is in much better condition to bear up
against long period of uncertainty than Rus
STA, for the former can maintain her ornaments
indefinitely without any great increase of ex-
pense, while Russia is financially exhausted
and few months more of strain like the
present must lead to financial collapse and
bankruptcy.
