LONDON, Feb. II, 1873.
despatch from Constantinople says
that the British feet has been withdrawn
to Mudania Bay, forty miles south of Con-
stantinople. This movement is attributed
to desire on the part of England to
facilitate negotiations to prevent the entry
of the Russians.

CONGRESS AGREED UPON.
A Congressman Conference-is GER
tain. 1t will be held at Baden Baden, which
place Austria has proposed, and to which
all the Powers, including Russia, have
assented.
ON FRIENDLY TERMS.
The Political Correspondence Of Vienna
says :-"Negotiations were only delayed by
the sudden acuteness of the relations of
England and Russia. The Gear and Sultan
are actively exchanging personal and
friendly dispatches. It is expected that
peace will be signed by the time the Con-
gress meets-namely, two or three weeks
hence"
DANGER NOT PAST.
Notwithstanding the prospect Of Con-
gress the situation is still considered grave
at Vienna. 1t is rumored that England has
made overtures for an understanding and
arrangements with Austria. The latter is
negotiating loan with the Rothschilds.

AS THE GUEST OF THE SULTAN
special despatch from CONSTANT nople, dated
the 10Th. published here last evening, says-"It Is
generally expected that Grand Duke Nicholas will
enter Constsntinople with portion OF his army
but Will come as guest and friend OF the nation
with the consent OF the sultan, the Russians con.
siderlng that this vIll give England no eas4s beln
