WAsHINeToE, April 2.-In view OF the i'm
minence of war in Afghanistan between
England and Russia, your correspondent to-
day called upon Hon. Lionel Sackville West,
the British Minister, to obtain, il possible,
his views upon the subject. / wss lucky
enough to find him at home and temporarily
disengsged. The only drawback was that the
honorable representative of the bold Briton
stood up, which compelled me to remain In
a peculiar attitude also. / asked him what
be thought of the situation. He said:
1.-The situation is a very grave one. The
Government is calling out the reserves and
militia, and in the great and rapid prspsra-
tions they are making in getting
war vessels and transports ready
show that they are not going
to shirk struggle with the Gar, If either
England's honor or intereet requires it. AS
to specific news, you know as much 40 out it
as do as your admirable papers appear to
publish everything as fast as it happens"
do you think, Mr. West. that war Is in
evitable?"
mo; / will not say that. War is very
probable, but not inevitable. We were very
near war during the Turko-Russian
war. An English feet was sent to
the Bosphorus, and the reserves
were ordered out; but an armed conflict
was avoided by Russa's agreement to SUBJ
NIT the San Stefano treaty to the Berlin
Conference of the powers. This agreement
was made at the last moment. So 1t may
be now. Diplomacy may avert war.
However, can say this: The
war spirit is strong in England among the
people-stronger than 81 any time since the
Crimea. In Russia among the soldiers and
ruling class understand that the war feel
ing runs high. The cable tells rs OF q
banquet given at Odessa TO some
troops ordered to Afghanistsn, at which
toast to long and bloody war with Eng
land was received with enthusiasm. Yes !
fear there will be war between the two coun.
tries.p
DO you fear the result?" asked.
"Fsar the result?" he echoed, with shade
Of astonishment tinged with scorn. mo,
do not fear the result, neither does any other
Englishmsn. England has seen more
troubled times than this, and has alwsy
emerged victoriously"
With this the Hon. Mr.. West excused
himself and withdrew.

favorable progress toward recovery. He has
no feverish symptoms. The evacuation of
Lang-Son seems to have been slightly hur-
ried, especially after the success of our coun-
ter-attack, which was made without serious
loss. The French brigade has twenty days
ammunition and provisions, and is able TO
await conveys. No further reason is given
in regard to the very rapid evacuation OF
LaugSon. The Chinese so far only appear
desirous Of reoccupying their former posi-
tions to the northwerd of De Oquan and De
Ovan. The situation is better tlan the over
drawn accounts OF the past four days had
led me to believe. Colonel Des Bord es TO day

lie Paris reasserts that China has accepted
the French peace proposals and declares that
Mr. Campbell conducted the negotiations on
behalf OF Sir Robert Hart, the Inspector Gem
eIal of the Chinese maritime forces. The pa
per Gays that China decided to accept the
treaty OF Tien Tsin, together with treaty of
commerce, provided that months armistice

with few notifications. The french defeat
at Lang Son occurred beforehand yet Mr..
