Times' London: There were very excited discussions yesterday, over the terms of peace. Conservative organs agree in denouncing de-nouncing the clause relating to New Bulgaria, and the amount of tho war indemnity. The statement that Russia Rus-sia has demanded 40,000,000 sterling, ster-ling, whose interest and sinking fund are to be met by the Bulgarian and Egyptian tributes, has arousid a storm of English indignation. The Egyptian tribute is already employed in the payment of the loan of '55, and is guaranteed by tho English and French governments; hence the demand de-mand that England shall interpose to prevent any interference with an engagement of the khedive with tbe English bondholders. Even peace organs assert that Russia's claims for indemnity are preposterous, and wholly impracticable. The conservative conser-vative opinion is that Bulgarian subjects sub-jects are already taxed to the utter-. utter-. most possible farthing. When in addition, tbey will be rr qui red to sup port 50,000 Russian soldiers, lor two years, tbe burden will' be totally unbearable. Not only this, but the taxation will have to be borne mainly by those very Christians whose relief has been tbe pretended object of the Rua sian war against Turkey. Instead of Christians being freed, there is to be simply a change of masters and vastly additional financial burdens. A prominent paper says that Russian holders of Turkish bonds are to be reimbursed before any other nation and a condition so absurd, it does not come within the bounds of dissussion. If Russia wishes to provoke opposition opposi-tion she could not have proposed terms more calculated to raise this. Her enemies will rejoice and the spirits of the pro-Turkieh party once 1 more rise. Such terms as these, 1 instead of settling the eastern question, ques-tion, will only reopen it, will incense theieople ol Turkoy, Christian as well as Ottoman, against Russia and raise a powerful phalanx of enemies to her in tbe west. Much fear is ex pressed that the conference will he called simply to register a fail accompli, and that it will meet and separate without having agreed on anything, or having power to enforce anything. AUSTRIA MEANB FIOIIT. Times' Vienna: Austria will nut submit to the erection, on hr frontier, fron-tier, of territories defined io the Russian Rus-sian terms of peace. Unless the terms are modified by the conference Austria will go to war, with or without English aid. Constantinople, 26. Grnd Duke Nicholas, yesterday evening, conveyed con-veyed to thepjrte a strongly exprea.ad desire that the treaty of peace, should be signed promptly. |
