mier, stating that Russian COmman.
ders have been ordered TO stop advance

intense.
A Reuter- dispatch from Constants
nOple, dated February 9Th, 3 p. M, via

ish forces have evacuated the lines OF

In The house Of lords this afternoon,
Lord Derby, foreign secretary, in reply
to n question about this morning's ru
mors, said he received yesterday after
noon Il telegram from MIR. Layard, da-
ted February 5th, and az that time,
Notwithstanding the armistice, the
Russians were pushing towards Con-
stantinopla
The Turkish troops have been com
PEELED to eValuate II port on the sea o'
Maroma, Notwithstanding protest
of the Turkish commanders. The Rus
sian general declared it was according
to his orders 1t was necessary that he
should occupy Tchatatdja that day.
The porte is in great alarm aud can
hot understand the Russian proceed
ings. representations have been nude
to Grand Duke Nicholas, 1t Is also
stated, that the Servians have destroy
ed IA place called Uranla aud are advanc.
ing on the railway towards SoloDca.
Five days have elapsed since the sign
ing OF the armistice and the prelimin.
aries OF peace and the protocol have
not yet reched the porte, which is in
ignorance of some of the them.
Another telegram, dated yesterday,
and received last night, states that the
Russian government has requested
that the Chekmadje lines shall be
abandoned, which will leave Constan-
tinople undefended. The Russians have
occupied, in considerable force, Tebas
tatdja, which Ia Il part of the Turkish
lines of defense, extending across the
peninsular aud less than thirty miles
from Constantinople. 1t may be that
these steps now being taken by Russia
are in pursuance of the conditions of
the armistice, because We do not know
the conditions, but II appears the porte
Is equally In ignorance and IL per-
picked III TO the meaning of these
movements.
BY a telegram, sent this day, we have
asked Russia to give US some explana-
ton on the subject, and have called
TO the declaration made by
the emperor, to Colonel Wellesley, IN
July last, that he would not occupy
C0nstantinople for the sake OF military
honor, but only II II were rendered
necessary by the march of events.
Considering that the Turkish resis.
lance has ended, 1t does not appear to
her msjesty's government that there
can be any necessity for an advance
by the Russian troops. 4
