THE CONGRESS.


Berlin advices of the 18th say that
the day was spent chiefly by the ENJOYS
to the congress in paying visits of cere-
mony in introductions and receptions.
State carriages, with richly caparisoned
horses, outriders and footmen in state
costumes, rolled about the streets all
afternoon, conveying the special ENJOYS
to and from the old castle, where they
received an audience by the Crown
Prince, IN order Of the time of their ar
rival in Berlin. A severe thunder
storm marred outdoor proceedings.
The British delegates and suites dined
with Lord Russell, British Ambassador.
Prince and Princess Bismarck hold a
reception this evening.
THE TURK.
Vienna dispatches of the 18th say the
porte does not contemplate taking a
stand against the declaration of indie
pendencc by Roumania, Servia or
Montenegro. In regard to Asia, the
Turks will plead that Russia's posses
sion of Kars would leave the great port
of the country defenseless, and that the
nationalitles about Batoum are opposed

THE CONGRESS.
Advices from Berlin, of the 10Th inst.
state that Prince Bismarck will open
the congress Of great powers rs its
president, by submitting his memoran-
dunn of points or resume Of subjects
to be treated directly by the plenipo-
tentiaries. The business of the first
sitting will be confined to n settlement
of the question whether or not the con-
gress shall invite Greece to participate
in its transactions. a state banquet at
the castle will he given the plenlpoten-
tiaries and their suites on Thursday or
Friday evening. 1t is highly improbable
that Roumania or Servia will be accord
| ed direct access to the congress, either
with full or consutive powers. The
original anticipation, that the congress
would complete its labors in fortnight,
is thought likely to be realized. Com
missoners will then be sent to Turkey
to settle the details. The result; of the
congress. it is anticipated here, will
not be unfavorable to Russia.
She will probably get portion of Bess-
arabia and Armenia, the latter including
Kars and Arabian certainly, and per-
haps also Batoum, but not Bayazid.
There is report current that the Bona
parte, Orleans, and Bourbon interests
are to be privately advocated during the
congress by gentlemen deputed or the
occasion, the hope being entertained by
the monarchical parties in France that
a conservative reaction will shortly set
in at Berlin, and that the monarchy may
then have another chance at Paris.
RUSSIA AND RoUMANIA.
The Russian army corps commenced
advancing on Pitesti Sunday, and has
already reached Titu and Ganeste. 1t
entered some villages occupied by
Roumanian troops. The Roumanian
government, fearing bloodshed, ordered
their troops to retire in the direction
of Pitesti and Tirgovesti. The Russian
movement interrupts the communica.
ton of the Roumanan army with
Bucharest. The government intends
to ask an explanation of Russia, and il
the answer is unsatisfactory, it will adj
dress a solemn protest to the powers
Prince Charles will leave Bucharest fol
! his summer palace at Sinai, and await
the decisions of the congress.
