LONDON, Sept. 2.-The question Of the
Dardsnelles becoming passage way for
Russian war ships to the Mediterranean
just now exceels in interest even the
war in Chile. Well authenticated ru-
mors says the foreign office will not
stand idly by and see the Mediterranean
invaded by q Russiaa feet under tho
gnise OF volunteer transports or other
wise. Tho main question seems to bo
whether England will have to protest
alone, or be sustained in such course by
the poRers Of the triple alliance. No
doubt u entertained that Russia has
been encouraged to her aggressive atti-
tuds by aA understanding with France,
and feels safe with France AZ friend

part Of Great Britain. The situation is
Becoming very grave, and is 80 regarded
both ia Berlin and London. Lord Sails

which is greatly complicated by the nm
precedented coolness of the sultan toward

Ensiand'3 Turkish Possessions.
A Constantinople dispatch says that
che French and Russian ambassadors
have been dinning into the sultan's ear
the fact that, with all England's charges
against Ru sian ACKNOWLEDGEMENT at the
expense Of Turkey, the only great power
that has actual possession of any i'm
rortant part Of the sultan's dominions
is England herself, and that England,
before protesting friendship for Turkey,
ought to give up Egypt. IL not also
Cyprus. The sultan, therefore, is for
the time being prejudiced against Eng
land on account of Egypt, although also
unfolding Bulgaria against Russian
Vaccinations. 1t is remembered that
the Criniean war was preceded by Eng
lands rejection of Russian proposal
that England should take Egypt and
allow Russia to have Constantinople,
and there is an uneasy feeling that
Russia will fight again rather than per-
INIT England to hold Egypt without
compensation to Russia.
