mands Withdrawal Fleet, which Layard,
by Authority. Refuses.
RUSSIANS NOT SURPRISED.
ST.. PETERSBURG, March 29.-The Aqeuce
Russo says the version of Prince Gortscha-
koffs reply, which appeared Thursday morn
ing, is wholly inaccurate. Russia does not
maintain the right of vetoing discussion of
the terms of the treaty outside of European
jurisdiction. Prince Gortschakoff has main
tanned throughout, for each member of
congress, absolute liberty to discuss every
clause, and also perfect freedom of opinion,
and the decision of Lord Derby's resigna-
ton has caused no surprise in official circles
in St. Petersburg, where it was expected.
IGNAT1EFF AND ANDRAssY.
LONDON, March pa dispatch from
Vienna says it is reported that Gen. ma
tieff's first interview with Count Andrassy
has not yielded satisfactory results to Gen.
Ignatieff who, in conversation to-day, said
Count Andrassy would leave nothing stand
ing of the San Stefano treaty. It is stated
that an attempt has been resumed in Vienna
to find middle course in regard to the
congress, as compromise between England
and Russia.
ENGLAND's DIFFICULTY.
PARIS, March ga correspondent at
Vienna has had an interview with Gen. Igna-
tieff. He has not despaired of the meeting
of the congress. The general said England,
by entering the sea of Marnlora, in viola
lation of the treaty of 1856, had placed her
self in difficult position, out of which she
was endeavoring to oxtricate herself in such
a manner as would save her amour 12r0Dre.
She consequently puts forward unacceptable
demands, but the Russians will stay before
Constantinople 50 long as the British fleet
remains in the sea of Marmora.
The same dispatch states that Gen. Igna-
tieff has authorized the contradiction of a
report in New York journal respecting his
journey to Vienna. He says he has had no
conversation with correspondent of New
York journal.
RELIEVED BY sERv1AN TROOPS.
LONDON, March pa dispatch from Bel
grade says that in consequence of the request
of the Russian headquarters, the Servian cab
met, after the counsel to-day, ordered thirty
battalions of Servian troops to Professionally
occupy Sophia. the Russian troops there
having been ordered to join the army before
Constantinople.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
LONDON March 29.-At the evening sit
ting of the House of Commons the Marquis
of Harrington pointed out that as on Mon
day the House was to receive the royal mes
sage which must indicate that the situation
was either one in which war was imminent,
or at least that the crisis was one of extreme
gravity, the Eastern correspondence should
contain not only the communications be-
tween Russia and England, but the commu-
nications showing the opinions of the other
great overs.
Sir Stafford Northcote stated that the
papers submitted would give full information
as to the correspondence with all the powers.
He would postpone consideration of the
budget until April 9th, SO as to enable the
House to discuss the royal message on April
4th. The government felt the time
had arrived when the should take a
decided step. They also felt that
in view of recent events which in a great
measure had set aside the force of treaties
under which Turkey had hitherto been gov
there should be fresh examination of the
question. The government did not object
to the treaty of San Stefano being taken as
basis for new arrangement. They had not at
tempted to stand on any question of form,
but only desired full and fair discussion.
They regretted that the efforts to bring it
about had not been more satisfactory, but
having resulted as they have, the govern
ment was obliged to consider the position of
the country as one of the
great powers having an interest
in European settlement, and obliged, also, to
consider its peculiar interests, and whether
it should, by means of conference, or in any
other way, endeavor to maintain them. He
asked to be excused from entering into de-
tails as to the course the government might
feel it their duty to adopt.
Gladstone deprecated the attempt of the
chancellor of the exchequer to vindicate the
government before the production of the
correspondence. He hoped the correspon-
dence would satisfactorily explain why Eng.
land was only responsible for the failure Of
the congress.
A Belgrade dispatch says tomorrow is the
last day for Servians to retire within treaty
boundaries, but the troops as yet have re-
ceived no orders to that effect.
