EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE
AuSTRIA'S INTENTIONS TOWARD
THE PROVINCES.
STRONG OPPOSITION TO Eng
LANDS WAR POLICY.
The Porte Decides to Surrender
Shumla.
Turks and English to Occupy Var.
ua and BatOuiu.

LONDON, May l4.-Lord Hartington's
resolution that no forces DE raised or kept
by the crown in time of peace, save within
India, without the sanction Of parliament,
indicates determination of the opposition
Of the House of Commons to make a
united attack OF what is generally conceded
10 be the most vulnerable point of the gov.
elnment's policy. The delay, however,
seems to entirely favor the government, and
whether the debate on the resolution occurs
in fortnight or next Monday, by either
date the probable result Of Count Schouya-
lofts journey should be pretty well known.
THE EVACUATION PROBLEM.
Constantinople adyices indicate that dcs-
pite Gen. Todleben's efforts the porte will
not cvacuate Varna, and Batoum. Shumla
will probably be surrendered, partly as sat
isfaction to the Russians and partly because
it has ceased 10 be of great Importance since
the Russians established themselves on III
line of communication with Fsrna. More
over, the thirty battalions Of regulars now
in Shumla are believed TO be more useful
in Constantinople.
MILITARY CRITICS
assert that in case OF war the British and
Turks will hold Varna and Batoum, and
the Russians must withdraw from the Thra-
clan peninsula and from Er2eroum and
Trebizond, and that this accounts for Gen.
Todlcben's resistance even AT the risk OF pre-
iudicng the negotiations between London
and st. Petersburg. The conviction is gen
eral that the object Of apl oilting Gen
Todleben commander in.chiei was that he
might rescue the army from the unsafe po-
sition into which the political motive of ap-
preaching Constantinople has drawn It,
FAILURE OF NEGOTIATIONS.
The arrangements concerning the for
tresscs have failed in consequence of the
ST. Petersburg government disappointing
General Todleben's projected retreat to Adj
lianoplc. The position of Sadyk Pasha,
president of the Turkish cabinet council, is
consequently re.cstablished. The news
from the
MUssULMAS INsuRRECTIoN
states that the disturbances are spreading
Large numbers of Albanians are participate
ing. The Greeks in New Bulgaria, who
are also greatly dissatisfied, lave just re-
ceived new occasion for alarm in the at
tempt of the Russian authorities to enroll
them under general CONSUMPTION now be-
Ing enforced throughout Blu garia.
