THE CONGRESS,
BERLIN, May 27.-The invitations to the con-
gress were dispatched yesterday. If matters
shall be satisfactorily concluded treaty re-
placing the modified treaties Of Paris and San
Stefano will be signed at Berlin. The first
steps for a definite arrangement between Rus
STA and England were due to the efforts of
Count Schouvaloff and the German Crown
Prince.
LONDON May 27.-Accounts received from
every capital in Europe concur as to the main
feature of the political news, namely, the GER
tainty of an early meeting Of the congress, but
considerable anxiety is still apparent about
military preparations and the situation before
Constantinople. The attitude of Austria es-
pecially creates apprehensions at st. Petersburg,
and these will not be allayed by the occupation
of Adakaloo, tAustrias first overt demonstra-
ton against Russia's settlement of the Eastern
question, Russia having promised that island
to Servia.
Great secrecy is still maintained at st. Pc
tersburg about the process of negotiations.
the Golos and the Russkinair. are beginning to
attack the peaceful utterances of the Agence
Russo and the Journal de st. Petersburg. The
Gotos calls on the government to abandon its
reserve and tell Russia whether the reports
about yielding to England's demands are true
or false. Vienna correspondent suggests that
this kind of pressure may be convenient for
Russia just now in helping her to resist further
English pressure.
In the House of Commons Sir Stafford North
cote. in reply to question from Lord Hartng-
ton stated that he was unable as yet to give
detailed information about the negotiations in
relation to the congress, but added that he
might say that within a few days the prospect
of a meeting of the congress had materially
improved.
A Paris correspondent says it is thought the
congress will come to an agreement on the
chief points and leave settlement of details
with the resident ambassadors and second
plenipotentiaries, the principals meeting again
to ratify.
A st. Petersburg dispatch says the congress
will establish the general principles of the
conference. The ambassadors will then meet
at Constantinople. The Telegraph announces
that the understandings arrived at with Count
Schouvalof concern matters interesting to
Russia and England exclusively. The other
questions, such as the Bessarabian, and indem-
nity remain for settlement
Vienna correspondent hears on excellent
authority that Austria recently made advances
for cooperation with England in the congress.
THE REPRESENTATIVES,.

fuence of pressure from without and Prince
| LabanOf s suave assurance that the withdrawal
of the English fleet at once is necessary to
make everything pleasant again the English
popularity which now is certainly at its flood
! is in danger of ebb and reaction.
THE PERSIAN SHAH.
ST. PETERsBURGH, May 27.-The Shah OF
Persia will go to Warsaw tomorrow. and pro
coed thence to Berlin.

Austrian occupation of the island of Ada Kalet
has received the sanction of the powers, be
cause it tends to obviate the difficulties touch
ing the navigation of the Danube.
