The Eastern Question.

| LONDON, April O.-Iue IOSt PuDlislie
the following in semI-otflcal form
"There is no doubt our Government, while
determined to vindicate every line OF Lore
SalisDury's dispatch, is not unwilling t.
take into consideration views suggested By
Vienna statesmen. To-day the prospect
are more peaceful, but the Government
should guard against a surprise at Constan
tinople, and Mr.. Layard ought to be EN-
Dowered to assure the Porte OF England
support against any sudden advance OF th
Russians
The STANDARD publishes the following il
similar form: owe understand the pre-
sent intention is to keep the channel squad
ron near Malta available for the Transports
ton of troops therefrom. Every arrange
ment has been made, and 5000 or 400
troops could be embarked in few hours
The Times's st. Petersburg dispatch
dated yesterday evening, says: ''Lor'
Salisburv's circular was communicated t.
Prince Gortschakotf this morning. 1t
said i'm official circles that many OF tn
British objections might have been removes
in the congress, but now the door is close,
against concessions. 1t is difficult, there
fore. TO imagine any Pacific solution. Th
most plausible proposal perhaps is that tb
congress should be called to consider tn
notifications necessary in the treaties Q
1856 and 1871. Little faith, however,
placed in such ingenious proposals. Th
majority of the official world and OF tn
Dublc regard war as inevitable, and ShoN
no disposition to shrink from the grave cor
sequences or long struggle, which the
pretty clearly foresee.'
A special to the Times froa, Buchares
saws: The Russians have renewed cor
tracts forsupplies and transportation, whic
were cancelled after the signature OF til
treaty.
| A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Neu
states that Count Andrassy has replied
Lord Salisbury, saying that the acccptanc
O. the treaty IS impossible, and asking Ic
spccifc stipulations from England.
The DdHy 1eiegraph'S Vienna CORR
spondcnt hears that Prince Gort>chako
will make similar request.
Russia is secretly negotiating for lare
loan.
LONDON, April G.-There seems to be som
hone OF a renewal Of the congress negotl
tions unless collision is precipitated by I'll
necessity for counteracting the militar
measures which Russia is pushing forwar
on both sides:of the Danube.
The position at Constantinople, both mil
tarv and political, is regarded SO doubtfI
(evcn threatening) for England that yer
Slight notifications OF the situation migl
be considered to warrant action. whic
:. would amount to breach OF neutralit!
AS long, however, as the present Pasha II
mains the Turkish Premier, Russia Turks
alliance is believed to be out OF the que
ton.
Mr. Bratsalo, Roumanan Premier, instea
OF returning to Bucharest, as was expecte
he would do, started from Vienna for Bel
lin last night. 1t is believed the Roum'
nian Cabinets opposition to Russia We
real and determined.
The publication OF Gortschakof's Ghik
4 interviews has aroused general sympath
for Roumania throughout Europe.
i Oyertures referred to by this morning
Post, as suggested by the Vienna states
men, are believed to have originated at S
/ Petersburg in consequence OF the represe1
tations from Berlin, said to, have taken tf
shape of an endeayor to induce England t
enter into specifications Of the modification
! she is willing to make in the treaties OF Isl
and 1867, so Russia can judge, after con
pairing her own views with the English an
/ Austrians, whether any common ground
attainabie.
