dangers to English interests and to the perma-
nent peace of Europe, which would result from
the state Of things which the treaty proposes to
establish
In the meantime Lord salisbury's references
in his circular to the interests of Greece, and
to the condition and prospects OF Turkey, are
not calculated to make the Porte hold aloof
from Russia. He says the object of tho Con-
stantinople conference was to preserve Turkey
by reforming her. This policy was frustrated
BY the unfortunate resistance Of the Ottoman
government itself, and under the altered cir
cumstances of the present time the same re-
suit cannot be attained to the same extent and
by the same means. Large changes
may, and no doubt will be requisite
in the treaties by which southwestern Europe
has hitherto been ruled, but good government,
assured peace and freedom for the populations
to whom those blessings have been strangers,
are etiA objects which England earnestly desires
to secure.
The Times in its leading editorial article says:
The governments conviction that the terms ex-
torted from Turky are inconsistent alike with
the interests of England and Europe will be
sustained by public opinion of the country.
ASSASSINATION.

mons tonight, Mr.. Lowther, under colonial

is broken and the right completely shattered.

FEARS OF PEsTnENCE.
A Bucharest special says opposition to the
retrocession to Russia of Bessarabia is growing
in intensity. The weather is very fine and
warm, and unless energetic disinfection is
promptly carried along the military roads in
Bulgaria and Roumania, q frightful pestilence
is likely to break out.

MISCELLANEOUS.
LONDON, April 1.-The apparent agreement
between Austria and England caused an i'm
proved tone in London yesterday, on the theory
that Russia must give way for such combine
ton.
A st. Petersburg correspondent says Austria
views are regarded there as so exorbitant, that
the Russian chancellor, to prevent an offensive
alliance between Austria and England, is about
to make another attempt to come to terms with
England.
At Vienna hopes are still entertained that
the congress may meet.
Nothing is developed about the feeling at
Berlin, only that Bismarck is going to his
Louenberg estates shortly, unless detained by
the Eastern question.
It is stated Russia is irritated by rebuff
from France, the latter being approached for a
separate recognition of the treaty of San Ste
a combination against England.
Vienne advices represent the Austrian objec-
ton not less fatal to the existence of the treaty
than England's.
