CONDITIONS OF COMPROMISE.
ENGLAND.


LONDON, March 1O.-A dispatch from New
York to the Sdhd1rd says that the reports of
an impending Russian war, telegraphed
hence, are affecting the money markets.
There is nothing known here to Justify such
reports. General Skobeleff's speech causes
uneasiness by directing attention to the
points OF difference existing between the
Austrian snd Russian policies, and this has
given occasion for the various and somewhat
sensational kilograms sent from continental
capitals and from the east; such, for example,
as thosa reported in the Times yesterday con-
ceded that apprehensions of war were felt by
the palace party at Constantinople. There
is no new fact developed since the speech of
General Skobelef pointing to the likelihood
OF disturbances. On the contrary, there are
signs of subsistence of the tension to which
the speech gave rise. One of these 1s
the impending appointment of an Aus
TRAN ambassador in the place of Count
kolnoky at St. Petersburg; and aHoth-
er ls the announcement that the Rus
sian Grand Duke Vladimir will shortly pass
through Vienna, coupled with a semi-oficial
denial by Austria that he is intrusted with
any mission, because, considering the un-
clouded relations between Austria and Rus
sra, none such rs required. The prompt and
cordial recognition of the Servian kingdom
by Austria is considered to show that the
AustrIans have satisfactory assurances that
King Milan is not inclined to favor the Pan
Slayish intrigues. The principal danger of
complications between Russia and Austria.
as explained by 30. K, in q recent letter
from Moscow, would arise from Austria
becoming embroiled with Montenegro and
Servia. The possibility of such embroil-
ment is becoming less as, notwithstanding
the conflicting reports, the Austrians appear
to be getting rid of the insurrection by a
system OF combined movements. The taking
OF u Ii is one of these, by means of which
troops starting respectively from Costel
Nuovo and Cattoro are hemming in the
Circassiaus, cutting them off on one eide
from the Montenegrin frontier, and on the
other from Herzegovina.
The SHIP WENT DOWN.
The captain OF the Cunard steamer Cata-
lonis, at Liverpool from New York, reports
that when off Point Lynas, on the outward
passage, his vessel came in collision with an
unknown barkentine during a dense fog and
he believed the latter sank with all on board.
COMMITTED ON THE CHARGE OF TREASON.
WINDSOR, March 10.-Maclean, the queens
assailant, has been committed for trial on
the charge Of high treason. On being ar
raigned he said he would reserve his defense
He declined to cross-examine the witnesses
His interests were watched by solicitor
The evidence is merely repetition of what
is already known. Concerning his attempt
on the life of the queen, it Overwhelmingly
confirmed the statement that his pistol was
sufficiently elevated when he fired for the
ball to have struck her Majesty.
Previous to the committal of Msclean the
treasury solicitor stated that he is prima tdcie
sane, and that the magistrate had no auth or
ity to inquire into the state of his mind 1t
appears highly improbable that the charge
of high treason is advanced for obtaining
the death penalty. Maclean laughed several
times at the evidence given by the Eton
College students.
POLICE REINFORCED.
Ia consequence of threatening letter re-
ceived by the police inspector who arrested
Maclean, the Windsor police has been re-
