| THE SITUATION. From the Daily Patriot. Lonpon, April 20.

‘he ironelad Jivineible has started for

the Dardanelles. St. Pererseure, April 20,

A new hitch has occurred in the negotia- tions. Germany proposed that a Congress be summoned to revise the treaties of 1856 and 1877. Russia accepted the proposal, but England rejected it, and again imsists on her original condition.

Orders have been officially published that a necessary number of men be called out to form three corps of sailors for service in the ileet.

Two of these corps are to be stationed at Gronstadt and the third at Nicolatf.

The Russian officials at Bueharest are preparing 16,000 transport carts to provide ugainst the Black Sea line being closed by

jthe British line.

BERN, April 20.

England and Russia have agreed to the principle of a simultaneous withdrawal of the British fleet and the Russian troops from the neighberhood of Constantinople, hut the points to which they will withdraw hive rot been decided on.

Maprip, April 20.

General Maceo, the second in commend of the Cuba insurgents, had an interview with General Campas, but refused further concessions, and hostilities have been re- conummenced.

An important engagement with Maceo’s forces occurred on the 2d inst., and he ob- tained a signal victory.

vaatidi-enetnihiammaini—ai-—tancet The Beecher Scandal—-Mrs. Tilton’s Confession.

New York, April 15.—The following let- ter from Mrs. Tilton will appear in the morning papers to-morrow :—

Mr. Ina R. WHEELER—My Dear Sirv--A few weeks since, after long months of men- tal anguish, I told, as you know, a few friends whom I had bitterly deceived, that the charge brought by my husband, of ad- ultery between myself and Rey. Henry

1 had lived so well for the last four years had become intolerable to me. That state- ment | now solemnly reaitirm, and I leave the truth with God, to whom also I commit myself, my children, and all who must suf- fer. 1 know full well the explanations that will be sought by many for this acknowl- edgment, the desire to return to my husband, insanity, malice, everything save the true and only one—my quickened con- science and a sense of what is due to the cause of truth and justice. During all the complications of these years you have been my confidental friend, and therefore, I address this letter to you ; authorizing and requesting you to secure its publication.

(Signed) Evizanetu R. Trrron.

Brooklyn, April 13, 1878.

Mr. Beecher was out of the city to-night when Mrs. Tilton’s letter was made public, and his whereabouts were not known save to a few friends. The Tribune telegraphed him a copy of the letter at a late hour to- night and received the following reply :

Waver.y, N.Y., April 15.— To the Editos of the New York Tribune :—I confront Mrs. Tilton’s confession with an explicit and ab- solute denial. The testimony of her own innocence and to mine, which for four years she had made to hundreds in private and in public, before the Court, in writing and orally, I declare to be true; and the allegations now made in contradiction of her uniform, solemn and unvarying state- ments hitherto made, I utterly deny. I declare her to be innocent of the great transgression.

Great Britain vs. Russia,

A writer in the- Chicago Inter-Ocean at- firms that the United States Public have been altogether led astray by an anti-British Press, as to facts respecting the diplomatic game between England and Russia. He gives several instances of alleged ‘* snub ” and ‘‘checkmate” to England, in which the victory was really to her, and the *‘ snub” to Russia.

First,—Russia demanded the surrender of the Turkish fleet. That was enough to show that England was so ‘‘ cowed” that she dare not refuse anything that Russia might ask. But she put her veto on the demand, and the next we hear is that it has been withdrawn.

Second,—-Russia intimated that she must (have the Egyptian tribute made over to | her, and England dare not forbid, so chimed the American press in chorvs. England | blandly intimates that she has a first morig- age on this tribute, and we hear no more of | the Russian demand. | Third,—The Grand Duke Nicholas had ‘resolved to enter Constantinople with 2,000 ‘troops. ‘‘ An unwise proceeding,” hints Mr. Layard. Neqt, the Grand Duke will ‘merely pay -a friendly visit to the Sultan with an escort of 200 officers, and, finally, he makes his promised visit very modestly |in a yacht, going by water in order to avoid ‘the risk of what going by land might end in

F ourth,—Bismarck is about to speak, and he, we may be sure, will utter orders that | will make England crouch and obey, like a

Ward Beecher, was tre, and that the life!

poraeet gn > <asnans nan en -—- ~

NO. 278. whipped spaniel. Bismarck does speak at last, but very mildly indeed, with reference to England. If we detect a ‘‘snub” in his language at all, it is for Russia.

Fifth,—Russia having compelled Turkey to sign at the sword’s point the treaty of San Stefano, what presumption to suppose that England dare ask to have anything to say in the final settlement? Flushed with victory, the Bear is going to do as he pleases, and how dare England, with her few thousands of sdldiers, oppose herself to the master of a million of armed men? But to Russia’s demurrer, England replies : ‘‘ Europe itself shall be the judge of what are European interests.” Germany, France, and Austria sustain her in the position taken, and the concession is forced that the Congress shall decide what questions may, with propriety, be discussed. Although the result lies in the womb of the future, though the indications are that the quest- ions involved will be solved by a bloodier tribunal, England’s prestige has not been materially affected by the snub received.

Sixth,—Another proof of England’s weak- ness. It is announced that the Russian troops will embark at Buyukdere, a suburb of Constantinople, showing that ‘* Russia has control of the Bosphorus, and cares little if anything about the unwieldly Brit- ish iron-clads, which evidently are afraid to enter it.” Well, let us see. The Porte is informed that should this programme be carried out, the British fleet will immedi- ately occupy the Bosphorus—certainly an unequivocal challenge. [s it accepted? No. Discretion becomes the better part of val- our; the order is countermanded, and the ships retain their anchorage in Touzla Bay ; all of which, however, conclusively prove according to the anti British press, that England is beaten and humiliated at every point.

Correspondence.

se Wedonot hold ourselves responsible for

ihe statements or opinions of our correspondents.

To the Editor of the Examiner.

Sir,—I hear that at a meeting of the City Council, held a few evenings ago, it was sug- gested that a sum of money be voted to Coun- cillor Harris for his services in looking after the repairing of the screets. I have no desire to deny to Mr. Harris any credit to which he is entitled in this matter ; but I maintain that, if any money is to be voted for this purpose, Councillor Smith is the man who should receive it. As Chairman of the Street Committee, he has done more than all the Councillors com- bined to have the streets improved and kept in good order. Ata great sacrifice of time and labor, he superintended personally the laying down of the plank sidewalks, the opening up and repairing of drains, and the macadamizi of the streets. Were it not for his energy indefatigable exertions, they would now be in the same wretched condition they were in a few years ago. Let the Council give credit where credit is due; and, if money is to be voted, let the right men have it. Your, truly,

POSTAL.

To the iditor of the Eraminer.

Sir,--Is there any reason why the Postal Department of Charlottetown should not afford the public more conveniences than it does at present. The office opens, or is supposed te open, at 8 a. m., and close at sharp 8 p- ™. Now, Sir, why should not the office be kept open until nine o’clock ? especially in summer, as it is between eight and uime only that the greater number of the people have any appor- tunity of gomg for their letters, only to find the ofiice closed when they get there. In all other cities boasting a Postal Department of any consequence, the general delivery at least is always kept open until nine, and in many cases until ten or even eleven o'clock; and there is no reason why the people of Char- lottetown should not enjoy the same privi- leges as those of other places. Now, Sir, for a word concerning the boxes. There are only two rows of locked drawers, and applications for at least twice thatnumber. Why not take away some of the lower glass boxes (as for such anumber there is no earthly tse) and substitute lock drawers for them’? There is not the least doubt but that they would be immediately taken up and wonld be looked upon by business men as quite a blessing, for through them letters arriving late on Satur- day or other night may be had in time for answering by the next mornings’ mail, without losing a day as they otherwise would. Hop- ing that the Inspector will see fit to make these slight and much needed alterations.

Many Russian officers now wear bullet- proof cuirasses underneath their coats. Some of these guard only the chest, but others, in two sections, cover the stomach, and are said to be In no way inconvenient. The cap has also a band of the cuirass ma- terial within its lining. The loss of offi- eers in the late battles has been much smaller compared with the numbers en- gaged, than in past Russian wars.
