THE EASTERN QUESTION.
The Unsettled and Revolutions.
ry Condition Of Affairs nt Con
siantinople.
LONDON, May 6.-While the general
political situation Is unchanged and th'
course OF the negotiations between st
Petersburg and London continues un
eyentiul, there is no lack Of important
incidents.
At Constantinople, q correspondent
says, another Palace revolution Is threat
ened. The conspirators for the over.
throw oi the Sultan, Abdul Hamid and
the accession Of Marad or somebody else
actually fixed one day last week for an
attempt, but the fear Of Russian inter-
ference caused q change Of their plans,
and the conspirators say they must vail
till the Russians are gone. II is difficult
to say what would be the attitude Of the
Russians in case OF revolution
but there is great danger that the
Russian and English troops would
come into collision in such event. The
English influence is now believed to be
uppermost in the councils Of the Sultan
who between Lagard, British Ambassa'
dor, pulling one way and the Russiant
the other, has anything but a pleasant
time. The majority OF Pashas and all
the late Ministers are against the Sultan
and the people are sullen and discomfort
ed.
There have been violent speeches made
against the tax on bread, which is now al
famine prices.
The Pashas are all ready TO fy at each
others throats. 0sman Pasha, for
instance, has been cursed on all
sides by other Pashas as fool and
by some as a traitor. Without either
English or Russian support the Sultan
could not stay on the throne another day,
Sultan Abdul Hamid succeeded Murad,
his elder brother, who was deposed on
the 3lst Of August, 1876.
The same correspondent says sadyk
Pasha is certain not TO remain chief ol
the ministry long, though 1t is difficult &c
see what the English influence would
gain by his overthrow II it is true, Al
all OF the correspondents at the Turkish
Capital agree, that the present Cabinet
manifest British tendencies even more
frankly than their predecessors. Such
friendly mamie estations may be blind
however.
Another correspondent says: I have
Just heard that the Porte has sent note
10 the Powers maintaining that IL cannot
evacuate Shumla, Varna and Batoum
until the Russians retire, and according
10 the treaty Of San Stefano-the surren.
der OF Adrianople. The Russians oi
course maintain counter proposition
that they can't withdraw until the Turks
evacuate the fortresses.

WAR LIKE APPEARANCES.
The coming week will be an unusual
busy one at the English Arsenals and
Dock Yards. The ship owners who

their vessels in proximity TO the Ad-
miralty moorings opposite the yictualling
yard at the Department Fort, have re.
