LORD S~ALIsBURY'S CIRCULAR TO THE
MINISTERS IN LONDON.
FIRING UPON AN UNARMED BOAT.
The Golfers Strike at .Auser>

LONDON, July 10.
Lord Salisbury, in an official dispatch
from Berlin of the 18th instant, to the
ministers in London, which is now pub
lished, quotes the following from his circ-
ular Of the LIST of April: The separate and
individual operation of clauses of the San
Stefano treaty, whether defensible or not,
Is not that which should engage the most
earnest attention Of the signatory Powers.
Their combined effect, in addition to the
results upon the Greek population, and
upon the balance of the maritime Pow
ers, which are already pointed out, is to
depress almost to a point of entire subjec-
ton the political Independence of the Gov
eminent OF Constantinople, it cannot be
otherwise than a matter Of extreme solicl-
tude that that Government should be SO
closely pressed by political outposts Of a
greatly superior power, hat its independ-
ent action, or even existence, is almost i'm
possible. To these cardinal objections, says
the present circular, the congress Of Ber-
lin has supplied an entire remedy. The
Greek populations no longer are within
the boundaries of the Autonomous. The
Sclav principally, and oil Russian
influence has been removed to a
distance from the shore of the Aegean sea.
This same territorial arrangement will
have the effect Of attaining the essential
aim which, in their recent negotiations,
her Majesty's Government have had in
view, the independent existence and action
of the government of Constantinople. The
political outposts Of Russian power nave
been pushed back to the region beyond the
Balkans, and its opportunities for estab-
fishing an influence in reduced Bulgaria
has been materially diminished. The Sui
ANS dominions have been provided with
q defensible frontier far removed from his
capital. The interposition Of Austrian
power between independent S~clavonian
States, while it withdraws from him volun-
tary of strategical and financial value, and
offers him security against renewed agrees
sion on their front, which no other possible
arrangement could have furnished.
Rich and extensive provinces have been re-
stored to his rule, at the same time careful
provision against future misgovernment
has been made, which will, it may be hoped,
assure their loyalty and prevent a reoccur-
renee Of calamities which have brought the
Ottoman Power TO the verge OF ruin. Ar
rangements Of o different kind, but hav-
ing the same end in view, have been pro-
vided for the Asiatic dominions Of the Sui
tan, and security for the present, and the
hope Of prosperity and stability in the fu-
ture.
The Times Constantinople dispatch
gives the following recount of the firing
upon an unarmed boat from a British
man-of-war, by the Russians, near the
Gulf of Saros The captain of the Eng
lish steamer reports that he was stopped
off G~allipoli by a signal from the English
feet, directing him to take on board Lieut..
Hugh, sent by Admiral Cormerel to report
the following incident: Two days ago a
man-of-war boat was cruising off the Rus
sian lines, and coming to the landing were
Immediately made prisoners. A Lieuten-
ant, midshipman and ten men who were in
the boat, not returning to the English
fleet, another boat was sent to look for
them, but upon approaching the place the
boat was fired upon, two bullets passing
| through thu sides of the boat, fortunately
without injuring any one.
The strike at Ausen is one Of the most
extensive ever known in France. Five
| thousand Golfers have left the pits, de-
handing higher wages and eight hours a
day. There are unusual rumor of for
eign ~instigators and Bonapartist intrigues'
The gends-de-arms had to protect the pits
to prevent the agitators from Selling them
and stopping work. A number of arrests
have been made. Troops have been
brought up and public houses closed.
