FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

London, Aug IA dispatch from
Rome to the daily News says committee,
some of the leading members of
the Roman aristocracy, has been formed to
promote the holding of an international exhi-
bitiou here in 1880. The advocates of the
scheme have received encouraging letters from
Duke Aosta, ex.King of Spain; Premier
Gladstone, and NJ. Gambetta, president of the
French chamber of deputies.
In the house of lords yesterday Earl
Granville, foreign secretary, in moving q sec
ond reading of the Irish compensation bill,
said the bill had arisen from exceptional cir.
cumstances existing in Ireland during the
last two years, from the large increase of
evictions especially during the present year.
The Standards Bombay dispatch says that
the telegraph wire communicating with
Osbul was cut. A message received from
there, states that the durham, which was
to have been held on Monday at Kelahsji,
had been postponed, and 1t was quite uncer-
tain whether it would BIO held at ALL 1t is
supposed that hitch has taken, from the
evident disaster OF the ameer and his followers
70 continue within the BIZ ish camp.
The Times has the following from CaEda-
har, dated August Sd, by the Indo. European
telegraph company: son the morn
ing of July 9th, General Burrows en-
gagged Yskoob kahn's force of 10000 men
and twenty guns, fifty miles beyond Canda.
hOr. After tour hours of severe fighting
General Burrows was repulsed and forced to
retire to Candahar. The British loss is
twenty officers, forty European and eighty
natives killed and missing, most Of the losses
occurring on the retreat. Three horse artil.
lcry guns were abandoned. Preparations
are making for siege in Candahar."
The Times foreign new WAS brought in by
a native messenger from CNndahar and tele-
graphed from Killa and Abdula, fourty.fo
miles on the Candahar side of the Ontiws.
The Times says: I'VE may assume that the
messenger left Candahar on Saturday. We
learn for the first time that General Burrows
was the assailant. As the Afghans do not
take prison re-, il is feared that all the miss
ing may be recognized as killed. The upshot
Of the story is that out Of two hundred men,
only a half, some of whom are wounded,
followed General Burrows into Candahar."
A Bombay dispatch, under date of Mon
day, says the news is expected from General
L
the government At Bombay cannot spare any
troops for reinforcement.
A Vienna dispatch says dispatch from
Pera announces that the porte has determined
on the advice of Osman Pssha to increase his
troops in Thessely and Epirus to $4,000. OF
these 10000 serve in Thessely and $4,000 in
Epirus. Twenty thousand of the whole force
will be Albanian volunteers.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
telegraphs that negotiations for the naval
demonstration in Turkish waters are still
proceeding, and final details are on the point
of being settled. There never hos been the
slightest foundation for the report of a joint
Anglo. French command of the expedition,
as all the powers are agreed in giving the
command to England. The periodical re-
ports that it mas been abandoned and that
France, Austria or some other power shrink5
from the execution of the plan, ore equally
unfounded, but if the porte promptly settles
the Montenegran question the demonstra-
ton will be suspended.
The Mark Lane express in its review Of
the grain trade for the past week says the
markets have been generally hrmer. Most
all sorts OF wheat have been stifily held for
the advance, and the strong feeling in trade
ia increasing. Another week of broken
weather would cause decided advance in
old grain, although July arrivals from
abroad were over million quarters Of wheat
and four of oats Yet the English deliveries
have been so that the small root, which ex-
iits at the beginning of July, must be diminish
ing. Nearly 10000 quarters of August
arrivals from abroad are likely to be good,
but if the deliveries of English wheat are
practically nil, it will be difficult to supply
the wants. The markets are likely to be
very sensitive until September. The market
for the forward delivery is of difficult char
acter Of grain. Old winteris offered at shout
seven shillings below the price of old grain.
England is taking an increased spare for the
American grain shipments. Purchases for
the continent have fallen 10 100000 quarters.
There are fair number of cargoes off the
coast, but the prices are reserved. Imports
into the united kingdom during the week
ending July Oath, were 100,05l, 099 cwt. of
wheat, and 236,679 cwt. of -four.
A bulletin issued from Downing street this
morning says that Mr.. Gladstone passed a
fair night. There is no increase in the local
malady with which he is afflicted, nor in the
fever.
A Rome dispatch says the Liberal press
expresses concern for Mr.. Gladstone's health
and hopes for his speedy recovery. The
French and German press also comment on
Mr. Gladstone's condition.
Mr.. Gladstone is progressing favorably.
His temperatures l02 degrees against l0S
degrees Yesterday, at which, his physicians
are much gratifed.
AT noon to-day the condition of M. Glad.
stone was unchanged. ln consequence ofthe
premier's illness, the lord mayors dinner to
the ministers, which was fixed for Saturday
next, will be abandoned.
The Pail Mall Gazette this afternoon says
It is understood that Mr.. Gladstones' doctors
this morning were somewhat disappointed
at the condition of their patient. They
had hoped for marked diminuition in the
temperature of his body, but have become
content that it is not higher than 1t was
Monday. This morning Mr.. Glsdstone,was
able TO dictate note to Earl Granville, for.
eign secretary. Doubtless the cabinet will
shortly meet to decide, when the arrange
ments for the prosecution Of public business
