Considerable Anxiety.

LONDON, May 27.-Accounts received
from every capital in Europe concur as
to the main feature of the political news,
viz: The certainty Of the early meeting
of the Congress, but considerable anxiety
is still apparent about the military pre-.
psra.ions and the situation before Con-
stantinople. The attitude of Austria
especially creates spprehensions at st.
Petersburg, and these will not be sl!syed
by the occupation of Adakslso, Austria's
first overt demonstration against Russis's
settlement of the Eastern question, Russia
having promised to stand by Servis.
Great secresy is still maintained at st.
Petersburg about the progress of negOtls-
tions. The unofficial press notably the
NeD Times GdLos and RGSsEtnea sre be-
ginning to attack the Agence- Russo and
Journal de st. PeLersJuTg and the GaLos
calls upon the government to abandon
its reserve and tell Russia whether the
reports about yielding to England's de-
msnds are true or false. A Vienna cor
respondent suggests tnat this sort of
pressure may be convenient for Russia
just now i'm helping her to resist further
English pressure.
The Congress.
BERLIN, May 27.-The invitations to
the Congress were dispatched yesterday.
! nhall kn nril glr1
dod treaty, replacing the modified
treaties of Paris and San Slelano, will be
signed at Berlin. The first steps for
definite arrangement between Russr and
England were due TO the efforts OF Count
Schouvalof and the German Crown
Prince.
ST. PETERSBURG, May PA dis.
patch says the Congress will estsb lish
the principles and the conference Of am
bassadors will then meet in Constantine
pie.
The Telegraph announces that an un-
derstsnding has been effected with Count
Schouva!Ct concerning matters inter-
esting Russia and England exclusively.
The other questions, such AS Bessarsbsn
and indemnity remaining Tor settle
ment.
LONDON, May 27.-An Official Vienna
dispatch confirms the announcement that
Russia has consented to lay the treaty OF
San Stefano before the Congress; that all
the powers hsYe agreed to the proposal,
aud that invitations have been issued 10
them to attend the Congress, which will
meet in Berlin on the 18th of June.
LONDON, May 27.-The Post in its
lesdin. editorial says that distinct un-
derstandiDg is being brought about with
Russia. Lord Salisbury will doubtess
be the English and Count Schouvalof
probably the Russian plenipotentiary in
in the Congress.
A Vienna correspondent states that
Austria has not yet received an invita-
tion 10 the congress Baron d. Hay
marte, the Austrian Ambassador at Rome,
is mentioned as the second plenipOten-
tiary TO CouRt Andrsssy.
