LORD DERBY CENsURED.
London. April IA st. Petersburg dis
patch states that Lord Derby's resignation
of the foreign Office was a complete sur.
prise and caused an immense sensation In
official circles. Lord Derby. says the dis
patch, Is reproached for having mislcd Rus
and England, by going as far as he did
iu the direction which he disapproved.
THE CONGRESS-.
A Vienna dispatch says: In consequence
of Lord Derby's resignation and the calling
out of the reserves, Austria has ceased her
efforts to effect a compromise about tie
congress, feeling sure that Russia will not
yield to England's demand now, when
doing SO would seem somewhat like sub
be possible now may become so later, as
the interruption of the negotiations in re
gard to the congress and the order for the
mobilization Of the reserves in England

collision between the powers. and the con.
viction may be forced upon them that after
all the congress offers the only possible
chance of a pesceful settlement. The i'm.
preston is that whatever may have been

mission. he confined himself In fact TO

turns to St. Petersburg to report what he
heard. He probably discovered that Austria
is TOO anxious for an European condemns.
ton of the treaty of San Stefano, to enter
in any bargain about it with Russia alone,
which would seem to have given it au Aus
triau sanction. Moreover, Gen. Ignatieffs
later declarations indicate that after he
communicated the feeling here to st. Peters
burg, he received no instructions which for
babe him to 60 80 far in the direction Of
concession to Austria as he at first ex-
pressed himself inclined. This was prob
ably because after England's determination
of singly to resist that portion Of the treaty
unacceptable to her, it was hardly worth
while for Russia to surrender that large
portion of ii, unacceptable to Austria, with.
out knowing whether she would be able to
maintain any of it or not. The peace, at
any price is still, however, the very strong
tendency in Vienna.
