The SITUATION IN ENGLAND.
The debate on the supply question con-
menced yesterday in the English house OF
commons. Ii was stated that the telegraph
line between ConstantinOple and Gallipol had
been cut, and that up to the latest adviceS no
armlStlc6 had been signed. The Russians were
still pressing southwark. Among the rumors
prevailing in London is one that al the cabinet
cOuncll held on Wednesday the party of action
gained the ascendant, and that an important
ministerial statement will be made i'm the
house, which will alter the aspect of the situa-
tIOn. The opposition amendment to the vote
of credit was offered by Mr.. Forster, declaring
that the house sees no reason for adding 10
the people 5 burdens by voting additional SUP
plies, which, he said. was only wanted IL
flourish i'm the face of European conferences
as proof of England's trust in her govern
ment. Mr.. Cross, the home secretary, followed
In de1ence OF the government, and the debate
was postponed.
IGNORANCE AS TO THE ARMIsrICE.
Lord Derby, the foreign secretary of the
British cabinet; Count SchouvalOff, the Rus
sian ambassador at London, and Prince GOrts-
chakof all profess TO be ignorant as TO whether
an armiStice has been signed, or as regards its
terms. The Turkish authorities are also in the
dark. In reply TO a question in the house of
lords, Lord Derby denied that the occupation
on ConStantinOple, either Jointly or with other
powers, had been put forward as one OF the
COnStantinOple is published by the Rotterdam
COurdnt. giving "A doubtful report that the
peace negotiations have been broken Off-tho

ton of the Christians.
CONTINUED ADVANCE OF THE RUSSIANS.
The Grand Duke Nicholas arrived at Adri-
anope on the 25th, and occupied the COVER
nor pal ACE. The Russian vanguard has occu-
pied BolarSki, Haskioi, Demotica and Kirk
kilissa. The czarewitch's army has crossed
the LON in force, and the Turkish troops were
retreatlng TO the fOrtresseS of the quadriat-

MOB IN LONDON.
A meeting 10 protest against thp grant NJ
supplies was called yesterday in London, but
the place was taken possession of by vast
crowd of SympathizerS with the government,
and toied the attempt TO hold an anti-credit
meeting. Several public rooms in the ad jacent
hotel were Quilted by the mob.
