THE DANGER OF SITUATION.
The Journal des Dsbats thinks that the position In
and about the coveted capital u full Of peril, and
quotes tho following story IRON an Austrian psper:-
Al the commencement Of April the Grand Duke
vhch was attended by twcnty-soven generals. and ii
which the occupation or Constansinople. Buyukders

= was great mistake not 70 have occupied them
long ago. II was, hovcvor, questioned who
ther the Turks would evacuate their positions
at Doulair ana Bayukdcrs without resistance; but
most Of the generals present insisted that that risk
should be run, and that orco should b. 70,
u necessary 70 occupy positions Of such vital impsr-
lance, and which In time might become impreguable.

This narrative, the Debats says is proof thas .
military incident may arise a. any moment and cut
short the Efforts Of diplomacy bring about "a nm
assssanding between Englaad and Russia. Judging
from the recent action OF the British Ministry they
- not consider that an understanding Is the eve
Of being reached and the orders despatched 70 India
