FOREIGN DISPATCHES.


~ = ~. 81 LONDON April l.
A Vienna dispatch to the Daily Tele-
graph says: Count Apdrassy is making
fresh efforts to bring about a meeting
of the Congress-, and thinks Russia will
eventually yield to England's demand.
Count Audrassy informed Genera!
lgnatieff that the whole tendency of
the treaty was 10 opposition to the in.
terests of Europe, and no lasting peace
could be concluded without the
sanction of all the Powers. Ignatieff
rejoined that Russia had altogether
abandoned the idea of Congress, in
consequence of the difficulties raised
by England. He urged Andrassy to
state Austria's demands. The Count
declined. as he still hoped for a Con.
gress. but declared, that if he had to
consider the treaty solely from an
Austrian point of view. he would de-
.mand far greater concessions than if he
had to consider it in relation to the
general interests of Europe. Ignatieff
also failed to convince the Emperor.
The Telegraph's correspondent SAYS
he has the foregoing on the highest
official authority.
