[BY CABLE TO THE HERALD

LONDON. May 8. 1878.
The HERALDs special correspondent at
St. Petersburg telegrapks that the capital
is greatly exercised regarding quar-
rel that has occurred at the Imperial
palace. 1t appears that the French
Ambassador, General Lo Fl6 who has
just returned from Paris, called upon
tho Emperor Alexander on Monday and had
long audience. In answer to On inquiry
from the Gear as to what France would do
that France would certainly not interfere in
favor OF either belligerent.
FRANCE SPEAKS ny EXPERIENCE.
The Emperor was greatly offended at this
remark, and some ill-tempercd language
followed. The result was that the French
Ambassador concluded the interview Ly
saying:-"France has paid sufficiently dear
for the right which she now claims to steer
clear Of other nations quarrels."
WANTS 10 GO HOME.
This rejoinder was received by the Gar
in such high dudgeon that General Le Flo
has declared his intention to ask to be
recalled. 1t will be remembered that Cen
eral lie Flo asked to be relieved recently,
on account Of grief and depression Of
spirits growing out Of the death of his son.
THE DIRECT sEYT1EMENT.
The HERAI.D's st. Petersburg correspon-
dent also telegraphs that Count Schou-
yaloff, who left London yesterday, is ex-
pected in the Russian capital on Thursday
night by special train. 1t is said that he
brings project for the direct arrangement
Of the existing deadlock, thereby render
ing the Congress unnecessary. The arrival
Of the Russian Ambassador to the English
Court will, therefore, DO an important
evant.

from London he had ON interview with Lord
Beaconsfield.
MORE PRECISE PHASE
The Journal de 81. Petersosng says that the
proper Interpretation TO give to Count ScLouva-
iofTs visit to that city is that the Anglo-lsussian
negotiations have entered more precise phase
REAssuRING STATEMENTS
The statements OF Sir Stafford Eorthcotc, Chan
ccllor OF the Exchequer, In the House or Commons
on Monday evening are regarded as reassur-
ing. 1t Is also thought that the visit OF
Count Schouvaior, the RUSSIAN Ambassador ut
London, TO st. Petersburg, cannot be otherwise
than hopeful to the cause OF peace, rs he can ex-
plain the temper and views OF the English govern
ment ana people more effectively than could be
done In correspondence.

quences that would inevitably result IRON a new
war. The Car, as the HERALD announced ycstcr-
day, Is personally directing negotiations with the
assistance or Baron Jomini. The Cars predilcc.
tons are entirely in iavor OF peace.
