IN conference with Connt Andrassy yesterday
morning and had an audience with the Emperor
In the afternoon.
WAS HE coLDLY RECEIVED?
The Daily 7elegraphs Vienna despatch says:-
"General Ignatien, who is personally unpopular
here las been coldly received"
THE KEY IN VIENNA
me Pofntcal Correspondence Of Vienna says Gen.
eral lgnatieif's mission Is proof that the KEY OF
the situation as regards the eventually OF war Is
in Vienna, and the Austrian government must
allow England to entertain no doubt as to whether
sne can reckon upon Austria
AUSTRIA WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL
special despatch from Vienna to the Paris
1e"eps reports that Count Andrassy has informed
SIR Henry Elliot tina. Austria would remain neu-
tral IN the event of an Anglo Russian war.
STILL A DEADLOCK.
The Tines despatch from. ST. Petersburg
says the deadlock continues. 1t Is stated that
Russia Is quite ready to make considerable
notifications II it can be shown that they are
ior the general good, and that the Powers
will enter the Congress with the desire of arriving
ut durable settlement and not simply to undo
what has been done 1t is believed, however, tnat
the English government Is animated by very DIFF
ferent spirit
HOPE OF THE. CONGRESS VANISHED
The TIMES IN its leading editorial. says:-"Hope
that the Congress will meet has now almost van
lshcd The disagreement between our govern
ment and that OF Russia seems insuperable."
CONFLICTING OPINIONS IN VIENNA.
Dispatches from Vienna yesterday were again
conflicting, the correspondent there OF the Dat!v
Telegraph adhering to his belief that nm anti-Eng-
lish coalition will result from the pending negota-
lions and that General Ignatier comes to Vienna
for the purpose OF striking bargain for the parti.
tton of Turkey. The correspondent probably de-
rives his information IRON some political coterie
which coors 1t according to Its bias.
lGNArIErF's PURPOSE NOT KNOWN.
The Times correspondent at Vienna, who Is,
perhaps, nearer to Count Andrassy's views, says
General IguatieG's purposes are unknown, but
probably. as the person most familiar with the
Treaty OF san Stefano, he comes to explain It's
scope and show how 1t can be modified
IN the interest of Austria But. as the
Austrian government is perfectly capable OF
judging those matters for itself, General Ignatefr
is not more likely to succeed on this than OH the
two former missions. The Russian answer to Eng
lands latest question merely says that the govern
ment adheres to its former views This does not
sound very promising, but 1t is still thought here
that the reply will NOT close all Interchange OF
opinion"

THE PROSPECT VIEWED FROM BERLIN.
The utterances from Berlin on tho Eastern ques-
ion yesterday morning-tne first semonlcial en-
preston OF opinion since the hitch III the Congress
proIect-were entirely different from the assertions
hitherto made by special correspondents The
Berlin POST which prints nothing political
without a purpose, and which is one of
Prince Bisinarck's organs, says:-"The failure
Of the Congress would probably result In
Russia and England remaining at peace, but
armng for war. These prolonged armaments Eng
and can infinitely better afford than Russia, who
would be reduced to exhaustion were she obliged
10 maintain her armies OF o war footing for some
years AS Russia cannot attack England, while
England ls perfectly In position to bide her time
the Gar will probably be driven to extend his con.
quests IN the interval, the better to be prepared
for the collision when Its does occur But In such
case Austria and Greece would join England to pro-
tect their own interests As TO Germany, she VIII
never fight for Russia any other foreign inter-
ests Russia, therefore, had better restrain her
ambition"
BISMARCK AS A MEDIATOR.
The Berlin Iagolan says:--"Prince Bismarck's
latest attempt ut mediation between England and
Russia has thus far been unsuccessful HIS pro-
posal was that Russia should indicate beforehand
the points In the treaty which she agrees should
be discussed at the Congress. Russia has not yet
replied to this proposal"
UNLIKELY TO EFFEcT A SETTLEMENT.
The Agence Russe OF st. Petersburg considers the
alleged proposal OF Prince Bismarck-that Russia
should Indicate beforehand the points OF the Treaty
she was willing should be discussed-unlikeiy to
eject settlement.
sCHOUvALOrF's ASSURANCES.
The London correspondent OF the Manchester
Guardian says 1.-THE situation, so far as regards
the meeting Of the Congress- Is much improved by
assurances that Lord Derby, Foreign Sec
retary, has received from Count Schou-
valo1 the Russian Ambassador here, during
the past few hours Count Schouvaoir
