EASTERN QUESTION.
Views OF Correspondents.
LONDON, March SO.-All Of the Vienna
correspondents OF the London journals
concur in the statement that Gen. Igna.
tiefss mission has failed.
The 1ime3 Vienna correspondent doubts
whether General Ignatieff has the power
and will to alter his map Of Bulgaria so
"a to suit the views there; but even should
some kind Of an agreement be come to
about the map, there will still be good
deal 10 be said as TO the organization Of
the principality by Russia and its occu-
patton by $4,000 men for years. The de-
sire for an understanding may be sincere,
but the views are 90 widely divergent
that Ii may be doubted whether this will
be easy Of accomplishment.
The Times, in an editorial, says neither
objects Russia proclaimed at the out
set, nor the events OF the war, justified
her advance upon Constantinople
or her approach to the Bosphorus
and the Dardanelles. As long as she re-
mains in that meancing position We shall
feel II necessary to retain our ships in
the Sea Of Marmora, and 80 long conse-
quently will peace be uncertain. 1t Ia
Russia who has trespassed upon the for.
bearance Of England-it is not England
who has shown lack OF consideration
for her. That iorbearance has now been
strained to its utmost limits, but nothing
but necessity would induce Us to assert
our rights BY force, and a timely and
temperate concession on the part Of the
Russian Cabinet would without,
in the least degree, compromising the
interests Of Russia insure peace to
Europe.
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
A correspondent a. Pera telegraphs
he believes that thorough understand
ing between the Russians and Turks has
been brought about by the efforts Of
Reoui, Minister OF War, and Oman
Pasha, Commander.in. Chief, who remov.
ed the obstacles TO the Grand Duke |
Nicholas visit TO Coustantinople, and in. |
spired the Sultan with cordial feelings |
toward the Grand Duke. The same cor.
respondent also says he learns on fair
authority that no troops have been so far
Withdrawn from the positions recently
occupied near the Bosphorus, and that
the Russians would no longer find any
thing to prevent them from marching 10 |
the coast and seizing fort which COM
mands the entrance TO the Black Sea.
LONDON, March 80. = Correspon.
dents OF the Provincial journals say the
belief Is current that some steps for the
safe guarding Of the British interests,
like the entry OF the deet into the Black
sea or the occupation OF Gallipoli has
been determined upon.
