CoNsTANTINoPLE..
LONDON, Feb. S.-A Pera dispatch dated
Feb 7th, says: The Turks still hold the
Gallipoli lines.

chlncellor of the exchequer, in reply to ar
inqu ~ of Lord Harrington, leader of tn.
liberals confirmed the report of the advance
of the Russians towards Constantinople. Th,

but the Turks affect surprise. England ha'
asked Russia for an explanation, particular.

of July that Constantinople should not b,
occupied unless the military situation rem
dered it necessary.

taken possession of the fortified position
forming ports of defenses. He (Sir Staffor
Northcote) could only understand Primo
Gortschakoff's denial to refer to the rumor
mentioned in Count Schouvalotf's question
/ He was unable to say whether Prince Gorte
chakoff communicated with the Russia
commanders before sending tn
