FIVE DAYS LATER.

The Bark ID e.. Murray arrived early yesterday
morning in fourteen days from San Francisco,
bringing US five days later dates. The aspect Of
the news is still warlike. A Berlin dispatch says
the Powers have deciLed "A suggestion made by
Russia that the Congress be held without England.
Prince GOrtschakod is endeayoring to bring about
a meeting Of the three emperors. Russia, IL 10
said, is willing TO make further concessions 20
Austria, being prompted, as supposed, by the
growing apprehensions Of the differences with
England. People in Vienna consider that the
Congress has failed, and that Austria must look 10
her own interests.
The Berlin Post, ~(repoted organ Of Bismarck)
says that a failure Of the Congress would probably
result in Russia and England remaining at peace,
but arming for war. This prolonged armament
England could infinitely better afford than Russia,
for the latter country would be reduced 10 exbaus-
ton were she obliged TO maintain her armies on q
war footing for some years. In the interval Russia
would probably push her couquests to be the better
prepared for the collision when il does come, but
in such case Austria and Greece would join Eng
land to protect their own interests. Germany
will never fight for Russia or any other Greign
interests. Russia, therefore. il says, had better
restrain her ambition. II this is n correct ex-
preston OF Bismarck's views, it will certainly
attract attention.
Count Andrassy has informed Sir Henry Elliott
that Austria will remain neutral in the event Of an
Anglo-Russian war.
A ST. Petersburg dispatch says that Russia In
quite ready 70 make considerable notifications IL IL
can be shown that they would be for the general
GOOD. and that the Powers would enter the Go iRress
with the desire of arriving nt a permanent settle
ment, and not simply to undo what has been done.
1t is believed, however, that the English Govern
ment is animated by q very different spirit.
The London Times says the hope that Congress
will meet has now almost vanished. The disagree
mepts between the English aud Russian Govern
ments seem 10 be insuperable.
Gortschakof's reply 10 the demand Of the British
Government 1.-THE submission Of the entire treaty 70
the revision of the Congress) was received in Lon
don on the night Of Tuesday, March 70. The
reply is 10 the effect that Prince Gorischskof fully
uI Understands the wish Of England to take up all tho
conditions and general purpOrt Of the Provisional
Treaty but from Russia's point Of view he must
maintain the exercise (rightD Of a veto upon the
Of those terms that are considered at 81.

The Daily Telegraph, which gives this
news, says the natural consequence Of this reply
is that the Congress will not meet
Austria, il is said, is endeavoriDg 10 arrange a
compromise, and has not thought Of a Congress With
out England.
The German Government is much disappointed nj
the failure Of the Congress, but thinks negotiations
therefor may be successfully renewed.
The tenor Of the news, il will be perceived, IL de-
,idedly warlike.
A number Of citizens in San Francisco, becoming
inpatient Of the decidedly imperial style in which
Kearny and his followers propose TO carry on public
Affairs in their municipality, have formed a Tax
League TO consider the present extraordi-
1ary condition Of affairs. They have endured long
enough the disturbance Of the public prosperity oo-
