PRINCE BISMARCKS INFLUENCE FELT.
HARMONY RESTORED BY HIM BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND

HARMONY RESTORED III HIM BllNEEN ACSiHlA AMI
. RUSSIA.
LoNDO., Monday, Feb. 19, 1873.
Conflicting explanations are given of the reason
and character OF the German Intervention, which
seems to have tided the recent crisis The first
account was published in Fridays North German
Gazette of Berlin stating that request was received
from ST. Petersburg on Thursday TO have German
influence make itself felt; that such influence
could only be PEACEFUL. and that, de-
spite all contrary assertions, the relations
between the three Imperial Courts were
very friendly, and offer a sure guarantee
for the maintenance of general peace. A dispatch
TO The Times from 81. Petersburg, Sunday, SAYS that
there is the greatest disappointment there because
the people expected the moral support OF Germany,
whereas, now, they hear the Emperor of Germany
in his speech from the throne, referring to the pro-
gramme of the Constantinope Conference as the
basis for settlement The Tmoss Paris dispatch,
however, says: "Russia eagerly accepted Prince
BismarcKs friendly Offices, and took an attitude
which would facilitate an early meeting of the Con-
ference"
The TelcpdpEs Vienna correspondent, who has
been remarkably well informed on diplomatic move
ments saws Russia eagerly deferred to Prince Bis
marck's slcws when the latter, Mt Austuas socita-
tion ntimated to Prince Gortschakof that he was
strainIng the situation beyond reasonable bounds.
The correspondent says:

Austrian combination the point OF being cStaD

that Austria aud Russia should he ut variance but

The correspondent who reports the above had tel
egraphed previously, that recent Cabinet council
decided on partial mobilization of the Austrian
Army if the Conference question was not settled
within fortnight that at a subsequent council 1t
was decided to refer the question to Prince Bis
marck that his good Offices resulted in Russia con-
senting 10 an early meeting of the Congress, and
that all danger Of an Austro-RussIan conflict is
avoided, and the chances of an Anglo-Austrian al-
anoe are greatly diminished.
The Morning Post has n Berlin dispatch which ap-
paIentlv confirms n portion of the above news. 1t
save: :" IL Is doubtful II Prince bismarck Will make
4 fall position of his Eastern policy. as was ex
pcctcd in reply to The iuterpc,iai, IN the Reich;
stag on Tuesday. He Will probably be more inclined
to explain his views coniidentialiy at one of his
Parliamentary sor6es."
AUSTRIA ANXIOUS FOR THE CONFERENCE.
A special dispatch to The Times from Vienna con-
firms the statement of the 5geace Russo that the
principle ofan European meeting has been agreed to-
but that details rs TO form and place are unsettled.
The T,n1ss dispatch says
FrauAlortOD- the Main IL conspicu0usly mentioned

par. for the meeting Austria laws great stress on the
ongrcss assembling possible, the sIrest

LONDON, Tuesday, Fen. 10, 1873.
The Standards Paris dispatch says: 50 Ii is under
stood that Russia has issued circular informing
the Powers that she has renounced the occupation of
Constantinopc at the request of tho Emperor Will
