eminent was lnterpellated concerning mill

the ministerial council, said he would these
evils were the only ones the country had to
endure. NJ. Cogal Niceans, Minister of For
eign Affairs, stated that the government

AUsrRIA's POSITION.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-A dispatch from Vienna
says the Austrian ambassador at st. Peters
burg is understood to have delivered yester-
day to Prince Gortschakoff note declaring
| that Austria in no way disputes Turkey s
right to conclude treaties in her own interest,
but must consider arrangements at Kazanlik,
80 far as they may modify present treaties or
touch upon Austrian interests, as not falling
within the right of Turkey until new ar
rangements have been made with the sigma
tory powers of the treaty of Paris.
The new Free Press states that Count
Andrassy has taken steps to bring about
joint action of Europe to prevent judicial
policy on the part of Russia. Austria, with
this object, would take the invitation in as
sembling European conference at Vienna to
discuss and determine oil points of peace
conditions affecting the common interest of
Europe.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-A dispatch from st. Pc
tersburg says: A semi-official contradiction
is given the report of the dispatch of the
identical statements by England and Austria
to Russia. The Austrian and English notes
are by no means identical, nor is the Austrian
and English action analogous. A friendly
interchange of opinion such as would natu-
rally arise from the present situation, is now
proceeding between Vienna and st. Peters
burg.
The latest statement of Count Andrassy
respecting the preliminaries of peace does
not bear any unfriendly Interpretation. The
attitude of Austria is that of friendly
favor. All the views expressed by Austria
concerning the due regard for its interests,
have been met by Russia in considerate
spirit beftting the personal relations between
the Gar and the Emperor. Russia, it is
added, is not disinclined to settle in common
what is of common interest.
LONDON, Feb. IA dispatch from Vienna
says: The intention to bring about confer
ence for the purpose of settling points in
the preliminaries to peace which touch upon
international interests, is assuming more pos
tive shape. No objections seem to have
been raised on the part of Russia. The
Russian answer to the Austrian note has
been received. 1t recognizes the fact that
present or future stipulations between Rus
STA and Turkey are subject to modification
and are not defnitive until sanctioned by
the powers.
MINISTERIAL CRISIS IN GREECE.
ATHENS, Jan. 31.-The secret sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies yesterday was very i'm
portant M. Caurmaundouros Greek prem
Ter, submitted a ministerial programme. He
said it was expected the Ministers of FL
nance, War and Marine would submit extra
ordinary estimates. The premier recon-
mended the Chamber to continue it's DELHI
eratipns to-day. He said if there was no
quorum present then he should regard it as
a vote of want of confidence and re-
sign. Twenty.four communes in the
district of VIOLA, Thessaly, have
formed provisional government.
ENaLAND's GROUNDS FOR D1sTRUsT.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-The foreign Office has
published further Eastern correspondence.
Minister Legard at Constantineple tele-
graphs under date of the 28th inst, that the
Russians appeared at Bourges, and seemed
determined to advance on CONSTANT
nople in great force. Lord Derby on the Goth
of January instructed Lord LOTUS, British
minister at st. Petersburg, to make Motif
cation to the Russian government. The
terms of notification are almost identical
with those attributed to Austria in to-day's
dispatches. Copies of this notification have
been sent the ambassadors at Paris, Vienna,
Berlin and Rome, together with the expression
of the hope that the views therein contained,
which were based upon treaties, would re-
ceive the assent of other signatory powers.
Lord Lotus telegraphed to Lord Derby on
the Both Of January that Gortschakoff re-
piled to the notification that the basis of
peace were not defnitive as regards
Europe. The questions affecting European
interests would be concerned with the pow
ers. Lord LOTUS adds that Prince Gort-
schakof informed him that the last article OF
informal peace conditions communicated by
Count Schowaleff, relative to Interior under
terests in the Straits was vague
and unnecessary. He denied it referred to
an understanding between Russia and Tur-
key, and had no objection to suppress it alto
gether. He authorized Lord LOTUS to de
clare most categoricaly that Russia consid
cred the question of the straits could only
be settled in concert with the powers.
Lord Derby to-day telegraphed to Minis
ter Lotus thot the government received
Prince Gortschakoff's statement with salts
faction and would be glad to hear the Rus
sian government had suppressed the article
concerning the straits, as he had expressed
his willingness to do. Lord Derby
informed Lord LOTUS on the 29th
of fears that Count Schouvalef
on behalf of Prince Gorlschakoff denied
the rumor that preliminaries of peace would
be signed at Sebastopol and affirmed they
would be conformed at Adrianople.

TRYING TO SELL NEWSPAPERS.
LONDON, Jan. 31.-The Rotterdam Cour
ant publishes, under reserve, a private tele
