The Peace Congress.
LONDON, February l8.-Frankfort-on.
the Main is conspicuously mentioned as
the place for holding the Congress. Aus.
tris lays great stress on the Congress as.
sembling as soon as possible as the surest
means to prevent further complications.
Bismsrck's Eastern Policy.
Conflicting explanations are given OF
the reason and character of the Germanlc
intervention, which seems to have tided
over the recent crisis.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg, dated
February 18th, says there is the greatest
disappointment there because the people
expected the moral support Of Germany,
whereas now they hear that the Emper.
or oil Germany in his speech from the
throne, referred to the programme OF
the Constsntinople conference as basis
of settlement.
A Vienna correspondent asserts that
the Russians eagerly deferred to Prince
Bismarck's views when the lat
ter, at Austria's solicitation, intimsted to
Prince Gortschakod that he wss strain
ing the situation beyond reasonable
bounds. The correspondent sdds: A
rupture between Austria snd Russia was
imminent week ago, and in pace OF
Kaiserbund en- Ang .o-Austfian comblns-
tion was on the point OF being made. 1t
suited Bismarck to q certain extent that
Austria and Russia should be at vari-
snce, but it was altogether contrary to
his calculations that Austria should form
separate alliance with England, and
had ne no. been appealed to in time he
would have expressed himself before the
German Parliament in terms that would
have made matters perfectly clear for al
parties. There are still wide divergen-
cles between Russia and Austria. Prince
Bismarck will complete the reconcilis-
ton at the Congress. England must
look to herself. She he's interests at
stake which she will certainly be called
upon to defend. There is not q states
man on the continent, outside OF those
directly concerned, that does not admit
the chief object of the triple alliance to
be the annihilation OF British influence
abroad.
A Berlin special apparently confirms
q portion OF the foregoing. 1t says that
it is doubtful if Prince Bismarck will
make full exposition of his Eastern pol
icy, as was expected, IN reply TO the inter-
pellation IN the Reichgtsg on Tuesday.
He will probably be more inclined to eI.
plain his views conHdentially at one of
his Parliamentary soirees.
COnciIiatOry Communication from
Russia.
LONDON, February 1s.-The Press
Association states that the informal
cabinet council tonight discussed the
Russian communication respecting Gal
hpoli, which is said to be cencilistory.
The Daily Ne,os in leading article
says: .'We have gccd reason to believe
that if Lord Derby had felt himself at
liberty to speak more freely yesterday, it
would have been fonnd that the Russian
communication was of the character to
warrant and confirm the hopes OF peace.
A st. Petersburg CORES ondent hears
on good authority that Russia has de.
clsred, or is about to declare that she
has had no intention OF occupying CALI
poll.
A Vienna correspondent believes that
Prince Go-tschakotf's last dispatch
claims some concession from England in
return Tor Russia's not occupying CALI
poll. This proposal, however, is couched
in conciistory terms.

Why the British Fleet Retired.
LONDON, February lS-In the House
o. Lords, to-day, Lord Derby stated that
Admiral Hornby moved the feet to
Modavis bay on account OF
better anchorage there and better
telegrsphic communication with Con-
stsntinople, and that there were no
further advices regarding the Russian
advance on Constsntinople. Informs
