ional Government exists, General Cesaro
Guillemo presiding. A new President will
be elected. The revolution was the cause
of immense damage to property. The ruin
and distress prevailing will probably be a
safeguard against fresh risings for some
time.
The Irish Rifle Team decline to accept
the invitation challenge received from the
National Rife Association of the United
States to compete for the "Palma" in the
long range International rifle contest of
1873. Rigby, on behalf of the team, says:
H0ur team and the Scotch team, singly,
and the Irish, Scotch, and English teams
combined, have competed fruitlessly at
Creedmoor."
The London DAILY Telegraph of a late date
says: On Tuesday night her Majesty's Gov
eminent received the reply of Prince
Gortschakoff The Cabinet assembled to
consider it, as our Paris correspondent
states; the reply is to the effect that Prince
Gortschatoff fully understands the wish of
England to take up the conditions and gen
eral purport of the provisional treaty, but
that from a Russian point of view he must
maintain the exercise of a veto upon the dis
cussion of those terms which are considered
at st. Petersburg as outside of European
jurisdiction and concern.
The Telegraph adds: The natural conse-
quence of Russia's answer is that the Con-
gress will not meet.
A Vienna correspondent seems hopeful
and intimates that Austria is endeavoring
to arrange a compromise. These sanguine
views, however, conflict with the general
tenor of news. This correspondent also
declares that Austria has not. thought of
the Congress without England, nor has such
an idea been suggested elsewhere.
A Paris dispatch says the German Gov
eminent is much disappointed at the failure
of the Congress, but thinks negotiations
therefor may be successfully renewed.
The Vienna Fremdenb!aH says: Turkey
shows no disposition to ask the withdrawal
of the British feet, though Russia has in.
timated that its presence causes a continu
ance of the Russian occupation.
A Vienna dispatch says: General Igna
tieff, who is personally unpopular here, has
been coldly received"
The press in the City of Mexico severely
attack Mr.. Foster, United States Minister
The French journal began, and Mexican
newspapers follow. They declare that Eos
ter is IN obstacle in the way of settling diff
iculties between Mexico and the United
States, AND charge that he is actuated BY
personal motives. La Lfbertad, a semi-officia
sheet, asserts that when the Washington Gov
eminent has recognized President Diaz, tn
latter will demand that Foster be recalled
The TOo Repub ics, which always supports
the Mexican Government, defends tn,
American Minister, and expresses disgust a
the attack made upon him. The Frencl
are doing everything to throw the Mexican
Government into a hostile attitude toward
the United States. They fear a Commercial
treaty will be made with the United State
which would be injurious to their interests
as all the of Mexico is now il
European hands.
Archbishop Labastida, of the City o
Mexico, has been created a Cardinal. H
is the first Mexican Cardinal ever appointed
Lord Derbyhas resigned. In the House @
Lords he stated that his resignation was no
on account of a demand for the submission
of the whole treaty to the Congress. Lor
Beaconsfeld explained that Lord Derby re
signed on account of the calling out of tn
reserve.
In the British House of Commons, on tn
night of the 2Sth of March, Hon. Gathorn
Hardy, Secretary of State for War, replyin
to various questions, said it was necessar
to call out the frst-class of the army reserv,
numbering thirteen thousand, and tn
militia reserve, which was between twent,
five and twenty-six thousand. The Queen
message TO that effect would be presente
probably Monday. This would be followe
by a proclamation calling out such of tn
reserve forces as might be required. NJ
Hardy pointed out that this is not an en-
bodiment of the militia, which would NJ
take place until it was necessary to send th
regulars abroad.
A .Constantinople special says it
thought Safvet Pasha will request Englan
