THE EASTERN QUESTION.

The English and Austrian plenipoentlarles
had conference with Count Schouvalotf yes
terday, to which much Significance Is attached.
1t is believed the Bulgarian question was dis
cusscd. Great Britain, at NJ onday' sitting OF
the CONGRESS-, proposed the admission OF Greece
for consultation on all subjects concerning the
Christians
The Bohemia Of Vienna intimate5 that Aus
tria will demand Kick. Suttorina and other
districts bordering on Dalmatia, and that the
assent of the congress is certain.
The Albanians have sent protest to Berlin
against the annexation Of their territory to
Montenegro. They arc resolved to iorclbiy
ross if the protest is disregarded
1t appears that within the last lew days there
has been imminent danger CT q conflict between
the Russians and Turks, Baker Pasha or Fuad
Pasha having on Saturday given the Russians
few hours notice to remove an observatory
overlooking the Turkish liues. The Porte, on
being Informed of the affair, ordered the mill
tary authorities to maintain peace.
The danger is now averted. Tho movement
of the Russians to resist the apprchcndcd at.
tack gave rise to the unfounded report that tho
Russian headquarters were about to remove
from San Stetano.
The Sultan has in great measure recovered
from his alarm regarding conspiracies. SatVct
Pasha, with the object of developing the ro-
sources of the empire, is drawing up docu'
meDt for publication. encouraging joint stock
companies to solicit concessions from the gov
ernment for the construction OF railways, ports,
canals, works Of irrigation, and manufacturing
establishments.
When the Black Sea navigation was reopen
ed the Russians gave large orders tor coal, de-
| liverabe at Odessa and Galatz. They are DOW
endeavoring TO annul many OF these contracts.
This is interpreted as peaceful Indication.
The London Posts Berlin correspondent
| states that Lord Beaconsfeld has resolved to
| remain until the close of the congress.
A dispatch from Berlin says :-Prlnce Bis,
| marck, on Monday sitting. sketcbed general
plan for the arrangement OF the pending cues
| tons, aud opened the debate on Bulgaria. An
animated discussion followed. As 20 result
Was reached, Prince Bismarck proposed 40 ad,
! ourument, to allow the representatives OF
| the States Immediately concerned TO meet prl-
| yately.
1t may be assumed that more recourse will
| be had TO private conferences between the rep
reseu,atives for tho arrangement Of differences
| than was at first supposed. The agreement
| between EngIsud and Russia has disturbed
certain other arrangements, and the present
relations Of some of the Powers are such that
he lack OF modus opcrandi for smoothing
| differences would almost certainly lead to dan.
| gerous coust quencca The conditional admIS
| sion Of Greece to the congress Is certain.
| A Vienna correspondent says England and
| Austria had concluded an agreement, rroml5
| Jog to support each other at the congress. The
publication Of the Anglo Russian agreement
stqueutly astouished the Austrian govern
! ment. Count Audrassy has apparently been
since treasured, as it is DOW asserted he and
Lord Beacope field hold identica! views.

large reintorcements Of Turks which have ar
rived at Constantnople.

The Times, 10 leading editorial this morn
ing, says The congress, 10 doubt, will be
to day engaged with the real substance Of the
questions at issue. 1t is characteristic OF Prloco
| Bismarck that he brought the congress at once
face to face with the chief difficulty it has 10
overcome; for. however pugnant the Aslatlc
| question may be, with important consequences.
! nothing compares In immediate Importance,
aud in tho certainty OF its ultimate results with
the proposed reorganization OF Balga rIa., The
| question is simply, whether Europe or Russia
shall exercise prepouderaut influence in Euro
peao Turkey. The congress could not deal
hastily or rapidly with question SO important
aud 80 complex. Its delays and frequent ad.
Ijournments, so far from suggesting an unfa7or-
able ISSUE only show that the congress Is real,
not merely formal assembly, and that it will
| enter thoroughly into the questions submitted
| to it. The truth is, it would be impossible to
bring together a body Of such powerful states
men merely to ratity foregone conclusion.
The balance Of opinion pronounced at the con
gross will be quite distinct from the views Of
particular States.
LONDON, June l9.-The illusion that the
Berlin congress would finish its work iu ten

will last many weeks. The congress meets
