ENGLAND's PLANT.
LONDON. April 1.-The circular which Slr
Stafford Northcote stated had been sent to the
Powers bears date to-day, and Is signed by the
Marquis of Salisbury. 1t summarizes all the
recent correspondence, and after giving Rus
sia's refusal to consent to England's demand
relative to placing the treaty as whole before
the congress- continues as follows
Her majesty's government deeply regrets
Russia's decision Even if considerable
portion of the stipulations of the treaty were
likely to be opposed, Russia's reservation rela-
tive to their discussion would nevertheless be
open to most serious objections. Every material
stipulation of the treaty involves departure
from the treaty of 1856, and by the declaration
signed in London in 1871, it is impossible for
Her Meiesty's government to acqulesce IN
withdrawal from cognizance of the powers of
the articles which are notifications Of existing
treaties. The combined effect Of the stipula-
lations upon the interests of the powers, also
furnished conclusive reason against separate
discussion of any one portion of them.
By the articles relative to New Bulgaria, a
strong sclav state will be created under the
auspices and control of Russia, who will thus
secure preponderating political and CONNER
cial influence in the Black and Aegean seas. A
considerable Greek population, although it
views the prospect with alarm, will be merged
into a sclav community alien to it,
The provisions by which Russia will practi-
cally choose ruler for Bulgaria, while a
Russian administrator frames, and Russian
army controls the first working of its institu-
tions, sufficiently indicate of what political
system it will in the future form part
The stipulations for the better government
of Thesally and Epirus, in themselves highly
commendable, are accompanied by conditions
the general effect of which will be to increase
the power of Russia to the prejudice of Greece
and every other countries having interests in
the eastern MEDITERRANEAN.
The territorial severance of Constantinople
from the European provinces still left under
it's government, will deprive the Porte of any
political strength which it might have derived
from their possession, and expose their inhabit-
ants to serious risk of anarchy.
The acquisition of Bessarbia and Batoum
makes Russia dominant over all the vicinity OF
the Black sea, while the acquisition of the Ar
menian strongholds secures her influence over
the population of the province, and enables
her to arrest trade between Europe and Persia
The indemnity stipulated for is evidently be
yond Turkeys means, even not considering
80 hvno ated tC
other creditors. it's mode of payment being
vaguely stated. 1t may thus be demanded i'm,
mediately or left to weigh down the Porte't
independence for many years; computed fol
more territory or be made the means of entirely
subordinating Turkish to Russian policy.
The combined effect of the treaty stipula
tions is to depress almost to point of entir
subsection the political independence of tn
Porte. It cannot be otherwise than matter o
extreme solicitude to Great Britain that a gov
eminent whose formal jurisdiction extends owe
geographical positions of deepest interest t.
her, should be SO closely pressed by polltica
outposts of a greatly superior power, that it
independent action, and even existence, is al
most impossible. Large changes will doubt
less be necessary in hitherto existing treaties
England earnestly desires good gov
for the populations to which those blessing
have been strange. She would willingly hav
entered a congress in which the stipulation
could be examined as whole, but neither {
the British interests would be consulted by tn
assembling of a congress restricted by Primo
Gortschal1off's late reservations.
THE REsERvEs-THE MESSAGE.
LONDON April 1.-Sir Stafford Notthcote
chancellor of the exchequer, announced in tt
House of Commons, this afternoon, that Lol
Salisbury had been appointed foreign secretar
The queens message for calling out the r
serves was read by the speaker. 1t is as fo
lows: 1.-The present state of public affairs
the East and the necessity of taking steps Fl
the maintenance of peace, and for the prote
ton of the interests of the empire, have co
stituted, in the opinion of her majesty, AGA
of great emergency within the meaning of Il
acts Of parliament. In that behalf her maje
ty deems it proper to provide additional mea
for public service. Therefore. in pursuance
these acts, her majesty has thought it right
communicate to the House of Commons tn
she is about to direct that the reserve force al
military reserve force, or such part thereof
her majesty may think necessary, be forthwi
called out for permanent service.
Discussion Of the message was postponed
Monday next.

by Lord Harrington, said circular had be
sent to the powers by the British governme
explaining the views of the government regal
ing the present position of affairs.
The lord chancellor received the royal m
sage in the House of Lords.
FACILITATING AUSTRIA.
LONDON, April IA Vienna dispatch says
consequence of Lord Derby's resignation a
the calling out of the reserves Austria
ceased her efforts to effect a compromise abe
the congress, feeling sure that Russia will ]
yield to England's demand now, when doing
would seem somewhat like submitting befor
threat; but what may not be possible now n
become SO later, as the interruption of the
EQUATIONS IN regard to congress and the
der for the mobilization of reserves in Engls
need not be followed at once by actual {
lision between the two powers; and the cow
ton may be forced upon them that at
all the congress offers the only posi-
chance for peaceful settlement
impression is that whatever may have b.
originally the object of Gen. Ignatieff's n
sion, he confined himself in fact to giving {
receiving information and returns to st. Ret,
burg to report what he had heard. He pr
ably discovered that Austria is too anxious
European condemnation of the treaty of
Stefano, to enter into any bargain about
with Russia alone, which would seem to h
given it Austrian sanction. Moreover Gen,
ignatieff's later declarations indicate that al
he communicated the feeling here to st. Pet
burg, he received instructions which for
him to 20 as far in the direction Of concessio
Austria as he first expressed himself incli1
This was probably because, after Englar
determination singly to resist that portion
the treaty unacceptable to her, it was hal
worth while for Russia to surrender that Ia
portion of it unacceptable to Austria, with
knowing whether she would be able to main
any of it or not. The peace-at-any-price
dency is still, however, very strong in Wei
