LONDON, April 1.-The Vienna dispatch
to the Daitq Telegraph says: Count An.
Grassy is making fresh efforts to bring about
a meeting of the congress, and thinks Rus
STA will eventually yield to England's de-
mands.
Count Andrassy informed General Igna-
tietr that the whole tendency OF the treaty
was in opposition to the interests Of Europe,
and that no lasting peace could be concluded
without the sanction Of all the Powers.
!. General Ignatieff reioined that Russia has
altogether abandoned the idea OF congress
in consequence of the difficulties raised by
England.
He called on Count Andrassy to state
Austria's demands. The Count declined,
as he still hoped for congress; but de-
clared that had he to consider the treaty
solely from an Austrian point Of view ne
would demand far greater concessions than
il he had to consider it in relation to the
general interests of Europe. General .Ig-
natieff also failed to convince the Emperor.

thority. He adds that Germany has APP
proved the refusal OF Prince Charles, of
Roumania. to surrender Bessarabia unless
instructed to do so by the Powers.
