zon is again overcast. The change is attrib-
uted to the speeches made in the British
Parliament, 10 the consequent alteration in
the attitude of the Austrian Cabinet, and

here. Both governments continue their war
preparations on a very large scale, and the
Russians are putting a heavy pressure on
Turkey to obtain an alliance in the event of
a war with England.
LONDON, April 13.-The Tones has an
