A constantinople special of the 27th, received via Syria says that Gen. Melikoff has addressed a note to the Porte demanding the dismissal of the British Fleet from the neighbourhood of constantinople. Savet Pasha communicated the contents of the note to or. Layard who in accordance with the instructions of his government replied that the Fleet would remain until the de parture of the russians from the environs of constantinople. The Porte handed the reply to Gen. Melikoff without remark. A Rumor was current in London last night that or. Hathorne Hardy Secretary for War was to be raised to the peerage Anc to succeed the Marquis of Salisbury As Secretary of state for India. Col. Stanley rim under Secretary for War will succeed or. Hardy. The Horning Post in a Leader states that Gen. Ignatoff will probably visit Home and finally London. A Vienna correspondent says that Gen Una Tieff informed him his Mission was to harmonize the interests of Austria Hungary with a modification of the provisions of the treaty. The views of Austria and Russia Are so widely different that his ability to about in understanding is doubtful. Austria is certainly opposed to a scheme of parti Tion. The times leading article Speaks of the appointment of the Marquis of Salisbury to to foreign Secretary is an actual fact and considers that it May be taken As a pledge that no measures of Mere hostility to Russia will be adopted and it should facilitate any further negotiations. A Berlin special reports that the serbians have received orders from san Stefano to March with All their available forces to pres Ina and Albania. It is rumoured that Bismarck is making Urther efforts to assemble a Congress and hat he Haa asked England to Forward a pre Cise statement of her demands. A Pera special says the visit of the grand Duke Haa ended. All foreign vessels in the Ort except the English manned their Ards As he left in the Imperial yacht on thursday. A Vienna special says the news from England has brought Gen. Ignatieff s negotiations to a standstill. Count Andrassy will at present listen to no proposals and would certainly in the event of an Anglo russian War insist upon concessions which Russia is now indisposed to make. A committee of the austrian general staff Las reported that the treaty of san Stefano would compel Austria to extend her Mili Ary Power Over Servia Montenegro Bosnia my Albania. A special from Bucharest says it is stated hat two divisions of russian cavalry have Een ordered to return to Roumania from Bulgaria immediately to occupy a strategic Ine from Lena to pred la. Gen.

The grand Duke Nicholas the Sultan Pasha and Salfet Pasha had a private conference of three hours a Belgrade despatch says in consequence of a request from russian Headquarters the Servian government to Day ordered out thirty battalions of Servian troops to provisionally occupy Sofia the russian troops there having been ordered to join the Eforo constantinople. The Agency thisse Saya the version of Prince Gort Chakoff reply which appeared on thursday was wholly inaccurate. The russian government does not maintain the right of vetoing till discussion of the terms of the treaty outside of european Juristic Ion. Gorchakoff maintained throughout or each member of the Congress absolute Liberty to discuss every clause and perfect Reedom of opinion and decision. Lord Derby s resignation has caused no Surprise n official circles in St. Petersburg where it was expected. A correspondent at Vienna who had an interview with Gen. Ignatieff says to has not despaired of the meeting of a Congress. The general said England by entering the sea of Marmora in violation of the treaties of 1856 and 71 had placed herself in a difficult of which Elie was Endeavor ing to extricate herself in such a manner As to save her amour proper. She had consequently put Forward unacceptable demands but the russians would stay before constantinople As Long As the British Fleet remained in the sea of Marmora. At the evening sitting of the House of commons yesterday the or Farquis of Lavt in ton pointed out that As on monday the House was to receive a Royal message which must indicate the situation either of War being imminent or at least that the crisis was of extreme Gravity the Eastern correspondence should contain not Only All communications Between Russia and eng land but correspondence showing the opinions of the other great Powers. Sir Stafford Northcote stated that the papers submitted would give full information As to correspondence with All the Powers. He would postpone tie consideration of the budget until april 18th to enable the House to discuss the Royal message on april 4th. The government Felt that the time had arrived when they should take a decided step in View of the recent events which had in a great measure set aside tie Force of the treaties under which Turkey had hitherto been governed. It was right and proper there should be o fresh examination of the question. The government did not object to the treaty of san Stefano being taken As the basis of a new arrangement. They had not attempted to stand on any question formally. They desired a full and fair Dis Cussion and he regretted that the efforts to bring about such an end had not been More satisfactory but having resulted As they have the government Felt obliged to con Sider the position of this country is one of the great Powers having an interest in the european they were obliged to consider its Peculiar interests and whether it should by Means of a conference or in any other Way Endeavor to maintain them. He asked to be excused from entering into details us to the course Tho government might feel it their Clircy to adopt. Or.
