Lonpon, April 16. There has been an amicable interchange of views between London and St. Peters- burg. The former declares a sincere desire for a peaceful solution, but adheres to her desire to have the whole treaty placed be- Congress. The latter also adheres to its previous attitude .and cites Gortschakofi’s reply to the Earl of Salisbury as a proof of her readiness to discuss even the most in- portant clauses.

Cronstapr, April 16.

Schemes of fitting out privateers in Am- erica are making rapid progress. Large numbers of men belonging to the Baltic fleet are under orders in readiness to pro- ceed to the United States at a moment’s notice,

It is rumored that the Grand Duke Alexis is to be appointed Admiral of the privateer

leet. During his recent visit to New York the project was thoroughly canvassed in the event of a war with England.

{t is asserted among Russian officials that officers haye already left Cronstadt to or- ganize in America.

Whole crews of Finnish sailors have been summoned under stress of conscription from the decks ef English vessels.

it is reported that preparations are being made for the organization of a general levy.

Passports are only to be issued to per- sons over forty-eighit.

Pen and Ink Sketches of our Re- presentatives.

(Editorial Correspondence of Hr. Herald.)

One episode of the debate was the eager haste with which some of the Prince Edward islanders rose up to denounce as ruinous a resolution which they knew would not pass. Their eagerness was something surprising ; at least the eagerness of five of them. The five Prince Edward Islanders who support the Government are a curious lot. They always speak in indian file. But they never speak unless Pope, of Queen’s, speaks first ; then they all rise wp one after another. Sinclair poses with the air of a hesitating

on his childlike smile and his thickest brogue, and wags his head; Davies put his spectacles up on the top of his head, where they shine and glitter most amusingly as he gives out what he is pleased to call his ‘“deas,” but what a cold and cruel world generally calls by quite another name ; Mr. McIntyre gets up sheepishly in a corner, and furitively reads a _ little speech from a little book which he has either written himself or got some one else to write for him—like one other of these interesting people whose letters are so writ- ten. They all have a hack at Pope; they all go tilting at Pope; they all have something to say to Pope, and bless you, Pope just similes a pleas- ant sinile and wonders what dispen- sation of Providence laid him out to be assaulted by five musquitoes every day. It Pope was silent, they would not speak. If Pope did not rise, they would never get on their legs at all. If Pope did not give them some ideas, they would go on ina state of intellectual pauperism for ever and ever—amen; particularly Mr. Davies, I think. The other four have some rough ‘experience of life and a cunning which enables them to use it; but Mr. Davies seems to be a sort of gentle and smil- ing, hopeless and helpless intellectual jelly fish, upright in figure, smart in gait, con- scious of great personal charms, and a dig- nity which must inspire beholders, but quite unconscious of the gentle ripple of fun which his rising in the House causes among the members and in the galleries. In view of the tendency of these five Prince Edward {islanders to get upon their rear legs and roar at Pope, the following epigram has been dropped into the House :—

OF THEM.

- SIX Six members came up from the little Isic, That is called ‘‘ tight” in familiar style ; And when one member gets up to speak All the others get up and squeak.

If only Heaven in its good grace

Would keep Pope quiet in his place,

All the rest would be silent too—

What a blessing for me and you !

This little squib was handed abovt iill it finally reached Mr. Pope, who smiled his usual philosophical smile and pocketed it.

-~——--—_-+¢+ > ——— Engiand and Russia.

The war cloud that rested over Europe during the early part of the week, seems now to be gradually and surely rising. The great ‘‘bully of the North” has evidently learned, during the negotiations that have taken place since the informal Peace of San Stefano was signed, that. she has an anta- gonist to contend with, that can neither be tricked by chicanery nor intimidated by bluster. And Russia is not the only coun- try that has been taught lessons of import- ance by the recent negotiations. Great Britain has certainly learned by the results of her recent gxperience, that ail that is re- quired for the full. preservation of her in- terests, and the enforcement of her legiti- mate demands is,a firm attitude, backed Ny warlike preparation and determination. he fact has been clearly demonstrated by

the late diplomatic struggle, that Russia dreads war with England. With all the | Deka fury of the Russian press, and the wild spread eagleism of the American press, | there still lurked, and could be easily read | between the lines, a confession of the im- inense superiority of England to Russia. Happily, at length the people of England are beginning to realize this fact themselves. The timid policy and craven utterances of the past few years have at last been stopped, and we are now hearing both-in Parliament and in the Press, the language of a great and brave nation.— Hx. Herald. - oe - - -—- Einglish Wheat Market.

The Mark Lane Express of this week, in its usual review of the British corn trade, says: ‘‘Deliveries of English wheat at Mark Lane and in the provinces have been very moderate, as growers who could afford to hold their stocks in the hope of realizing a further advance should the country become involved in war. As it is, prices have ral- lied from 2s. to 3s. per quarter for English wheat from the recent lowest point, but the uncertainty of politics has caused millers to follow the rise with manifest reluctance. American wheat is coming to hand freely of jate. Still, trade has for the time being found sufficient support in the disquieting political rumors to prevent prices giving away under the weight of the supplies. Monday !ast business was fairly active, but, although a sufficiently strong tone has pre- vailed, the number of salesmadesince has been decidediy limited. Some exception may be made in favor of Calcutta wheat, which was in better demand than other varieties, owing to a scarcity of good qualities on the spot and the impossibility of stocks being replenished for some titne, under which circumstances prices may be noted a shil- ling per quarter dearer in the week. In- creased strength has been afforded trade by the Continental demand, which has contin- ued throughout the week. A considerable quantity of Indian and Russian wheat was taken for French and Belgian.”

The Quebec Elections.

Some days ago Mr. MciKenzie’s news- papers rejoiced over a letter written by the editor of the Richmond Guardian on the prospects of the rival parties in the ap- proaching contest in Quebec. ‘The same authority has just written another, and as the journals which hailed his first produe- tion with delight will probably keep this one trom their readers, it may not be amiss to give afew extracts from it here. The writer says: ‘‘The prospects of the Con- servative candidates have much improved since my last letter. I am now tolerably well satisfied that they will win in Quebec County, Montmorenci, Kamouraska, Bel- lechasse and L’islet, which takes five seats I had previously conceded to M. Joly. M. Tarte will not be likely to be opposed in Bonaventure, after all, and the renowned Pitre, Ka Ki (Tremblay) has thrown up the sponge in Charlevoix.” Then referring to the meetings which have been held in the district, and the reports of those meetings in the Rouge press, we have he following: ‘‘T have personally attended some of the recent meetings and have convinced myself beyond any doubt that the reports of the Rouge papers here-—particularly the Eng- lish papers—itouching the meetings, are al- most entirely false. I have seen no shadow of a show of enthusiasm in behalf of the Liberal candidates where they are opposing the old members; and I think I interpret the prevailing feeling to be a setiled sulk- iness at the muddle into which the Lienten- ant Governor's blunder has precipitated the affairs of the Province.”

The fact is M. de St. Just and his party are being hoist with their own petard; and there is every reason to believe that M. DeBoucherville’s majority will be larger than it was when he was unrighteously dis- missed. ‘

THE QUEBEC PREMIERE AS A PROTECTIONIST,

The following is the letter written on the 23rd March, 1875, to Dr. Orton by M, Joly, during the sitting of the Agricultural Protection Committee :—

My Dear Docror,—I only received to- day a printed form of questions from your Committee, in the labours of which I take a deep interest, and hasten to send you my answers. Iam afraid they are rather lengthy, but I must acknowledge that I feel some satisfaction in being able to give my views on the subject however little weight they may carry. It is a sort of protest against the accusation of inconsistency which has been brought against me during this session of the House _ of Commons, and in the press, for having given up the main plank of the platform of our Parti Nationale. We claimed above all thing a National Commercial’ Policy. My friends have been twitted with having given it up, an T was brought in as the leader of the Pertti Nationale ; but I have riot given it up. If f remember correctly, you helped me in 1879 to obtain ‘the exemption of the duty for the beet-root sugar manufacture, and [I hope you will approve my views on the sub- ject.” -
