A GOOD UNDERSTANDING.

A cable special from Berlin of the
10th says the plenipotentiaries have
already had sufficient social inter
course to enable them to understand
one another andto form pretty &C
curate estimate of the result of congress.
Count Andrassy is the most active of
the dipomatists present. lie has finally
arranged the Austrian programme and
submitted it individually to most of the
members of the congress. Lord Beacons-
field expressed hisentire approval. M.
Washington received it warmly, and
Count Corti also expressed his concur
renee. Count Andrassy had u second
interview with the Italian representa-
tive after the latter had had confer
ence with Count Sehouvalof. This ac-
cord is on the question of BcssarabIa,
which the assembled delegates unani-
monsly agreed should be coded to Rus
sin.
This same displtch also alludes to
the Bulgarian QUESTION and other mat
tiers in these wolls: This is beyond
all doubt the most important question
which will come before the congress,
for the reason tint once it is solved
peace will be ASSURED. 1t is the qucs-
ton about which Austria feels the keen
est anxiety, on account of her geo
graphical situationand the race athnlties
of II large portion of ner populations;
and England also las important inter
csts which makes Ter peculiarly scnsi-
tive WITH regard TO he future standing
Of Bulgaria. 1t is also certain that, iii
order TO secure theretrocesston of Bes-
sarahia, Russia viii yield great deal,
both i'll Armenia aad the Balkan Pen
insula She will, therefore, be more
likely To satisfy Austria and England
with regard to Bulgaria, seeing that on
their pant no opposition will be given to
Russia's wishes regarding the province
she lost by the crimean war.
THE TURKISH Observation-Disclosures
still continue to he left to themselves,
and are treated with cold, formal polite
ness. Mchemet Ali, who is German
renegade and II proselyte to Moham-
mechanism, is called by his real nam Q
Karl Detroit by the German papers,
and is treated with great GOODNESS every
where. The Turkish government
thought il was making great stroke
of policy in sending him, but it is now
apparent how egregious the blundcr
was.
THE PUBLIC DINNERS
and other festivities here follow one
another with great regularity. To.mor-
row Monday there viii be Il dinner at
! Prince BismnrCk'S. and ball at the
English Embassy the same evening.
and on Wednesday the Italian Embassy
will lie the scene Of another dinner 10
