EASTERN WAR.
The Situation.

LONDON, January 28.-The Times
authoritatively denies that part of the
Russian army will traverse Constantine
pie and embark at that place for home.
A special dispatch says: The Russian
demands will encounter serious opposi-
ton from. England and Austria. The
latter is particularly opposed to the retro
cession OF Besssrabis and to any condi-
tions doing more than to cripple Turkey.
The Cabinet Council on Sunday de-
termined to persist in the demand for
supplementary vote. The summoning
of a Cabinet Council on Sunday is re-
gsrded in some quarters, as
an indication that the political
atmosphere is not clearing.
Up to nine o'clock last evening the
Porte had no advices of the conclusion of
the armistice, though orders were tele-
graphed to the plenipotentiaries Friday
to accept the preliminsries of peace. The
delay causes apprehension that the armis-
tlce may be accompanied by onerous
conditions
The Russians, Servians, Roumanisns
and Montenegrins are pushing military
operations with great vigor about Wild
din, Prisrend, Lake Schtsri and Selestris,
and in Maritzs Valley, east of Adrian
ople.
Suleimsn Pashs's army continues to
embark. Six Egyptian transports have
been ordered to Karala to assist in the
operations. Up 10 Saturday evening,
Ssfvet Psshs, acting Foreign Minister
during the absence on peace mission of
Server Pashs, persisted in his refusal to
inform Laysrd, British ambassador, of
the terms of peace, stating that the Porte
has been pledged by Russia to keep them
secret.
The ice bridge has broken up.
Sir Stafford Northcote also said that
no intimatlon has yet been received of
an srmistice signed. The peace propos-
ais were not yet officially known, but
have been communicated as authoritative
by Count Schouvalof, the Russian Am
bssssdor. They are mainly the same as
those printed this morning. Sir Stat.
ford Northcote also said that he would
express no opinion which might be used
for the guidance OF Turkey. But he consid-
ers the terms very sweeping. The char
acter of autonomy for Bull
garis, was not that agreed on by
the Constsntinople Conference;
administrative autonomy was then con-
coded. Now there is provided total
separation from Turkey under Prince.
Regarding tributaries becoming indepen.
dent, it must raise difficult questions.
The indemnity condition is very elastic.
How Russia may elect TO take indemnity
and what territory she may ask, are i'm
portant 10 Europe. European concert is
therefore necessary. The understanding
regarding the straits may mean some
thing or nothing, but it is European
and English interest. He explained that
the credit asked for was not connected
with the sending of the feet to the OAR
dannelles, but it Is permanent measure
that England may appear at the Con-
gress that must assemble with proper
prestige Sir Stafford said the govern
ment asks for credit as note of conf
dence so that it can still frmer enter the
Congress.
The Marquis OF Harrington asked that
since q vote Of confidence was wanted
that debate be adjourned until Thursday
next.
GFecian warIike Manifestations.
ATHENS, January 2S.-Warlike prep.
arations were renewed Sunday. Crowds
OF people were shouting outside of the

Three of the rioters wero wounded. The
city is now Sunday night quiet. The
Debdts, the organ of Minister DeLigor-
gis, says that Greece would incur newt
able ruin by declaring war against Tur-
key now.
The Porte Protests Against British
Fleet.
LONDON, January ga Pers dis
patch TO the Times says that the Porte
has persisted IN its determination not to
permit the British feet to enter the OAR
dsnnelles, except as the ally OF Turkey.
England has informed the Porte that the
fleet must enter without permission.
The treaty of peace will be signed on
Russian territory.
