They have not Only occupied several villages around the City but they took Possession of a Point on the most northerly plateau running Down to the bosporus and Are thus enabled at any time to close the Entrance to Tho Black sea. The times sees in this a pre concerted plan with Turkey made before there was any movement on the part of Tho British Fleet. Rumours Are current in St. Petersburg that Russia will insist upon Only the european part of the treaty being discussed and is declared in Well informed circles at St. Petersburg that Greece cannot become a party to Tho Congress. A constantinople pcs Pattii says that Raouf Pasha is empowered to request that Varna shall be restored to Turkey. Typhus rages at Adrianople and Phillip Popolis. There is much sickness at Erze Roum. It is reported from a responsible source that Strong Hopes Are entertained that Russia s refusal regarding the admission of Greece to the Congress will be modified but Russia is unyielding with reference to the bases for discus lion by the Congress. Russia is hurrying on supplies to her troops in front of constantinople and along the Straits As if another Campaign were inevitable. These preparations produce much uneasiness and tend to establish the inference that Russia intends War and is Only trying to kill time until she can repair her shattered ranks. Preparations continue in England in refer Einice to an expeditionary Force and Tho be Lief is gaining ground that Russia s obstinate refusal to submit the whole treaty for the consideration of the Powers is based upon fact that there Are secret clauses in the treaty the promulgation of which it is her policy to put of to the last moment. It is said that serious negotiations Are proceeding Between sir Henry Elliott and count Andrassy for an Alliance Between eng land and Austria. If the negotiations succeed count Andrassy s position will be strengthened if they fail a ministerial crisis will ensue and Andrassy will resign. A St. Petersburg despatch of the 17th says ratifications of the peace treaty were exchanged that Day and the conditions will to published As soon As they have been communicated to the Powers. Raouf Pasha will depart immediately. The Mayence Tusse de Nies that Russia is opposed to Greece being represented in Tho Congress and says that the Powers alone can Congress the representatives admitted being a secon Dary matter. Interested states will be Admi tied As delegates in reference to questions wherein their slates Are concerned. Steps Are being taken for the return of Tho rus Sian army from Turkey. A constantinople despatch of yesterday bags Tho russians have crossed the River be tween mall Willjo and san Stefano and occupied three villages near Marriro. Tho Porte by Tho advice of Mukheah Pasha has not y of assented to the russians occupy ing mall Willjo. The russians Heve also arrived at demons Deri behind Beju do. M. Bland British Consul acc Adrianople has arrived at constantinople. He says the russians refuse to recognize the consular body at Adrianople or Philip Popolis. Another Telegram from constantinople pays that stray detachments Patsol the streets Day and night on account of great excitement prevailing Over the posting of seditious placards. The turkish garrisons of Shumla and Varna numbering in a plans Are expected to arrive. Raouf Nihn has been forwarded a letter from the Sultan begging Tho Czar to permit a modification of the Boundary of Bulgaria especially in the South. England has obtained permission from the Porte to disembark troops on the Island of ten Dos. And to Send four More ironclads into Tho sea of Marmora. Tho russian legation hive protested against these conces Sions. A Perth special says Prince Bismarck has notified Austria that Russia in consequence of his intervention has consented to submit All the peace conditions without exception to Tho Congress should the Congress make the demand. A St. Petersburg special dated this morn ing says the treaty leaves Many Points open. It reserves the question of the Straits for the Congress Juul leaves the Southern Frontier of Bulgaria to be determined by an inter National commission according to the nationality of the inhabitants.
