LONDON, March 27.-Utterances from
Berlin on the eastern question this morn
ing, the first semi-oficial expression of
opinion since the hitch in the congress
project, are entirely different from the
assertions hitherto made by special cores
pondents.
The Berlin Post, which prints nothing
political without purpose, and which is
one OF Prince Bismarck's organs, says, the
failure OF the congress would probably
result in Russia and England remaining
at peace, but armiDg for war; these pro-
longed ornaments England can infinitely
better afford than Russia. who would be
reduced to exhaustion were she obliged to
maintain her armies on war footing for
some years. as Russia cannot attack Eng
land while England is perfectly in position
to bide her time. The Gar will probably
be driven to extend his conquests in the
interval, the better to be prepared for the
collision when it does occur, but in such
case Austria and Greece would join Eng
land to protect their own interests; as to
Germany she will never fight for
Russian or any other foreign interests;
Russia therefore had better restrain her
ambition.

pondent at Vienna says,-Gen'l Ignatieff' S
purposes are unknown, but probably as
the person most familiar with the treaty of
San Stefano, he comes to explain Its scope
and show how it can be modified in the
interest of Austria, but the Austrian gov
ernment is perfectly capable of Judging
these matters for itself; Gen'l 1gnatief

on the two former missions; Russia s
answer to England's late question merely
says that the government adheres to its
former views; this does not sound very
promising. but it is still thought here
that the reply will not close all interchange
