whether the English Government in-pired the articles in the London pr.iHs, urging the Porte to join England and Austria and not Russ a on the Bulgarian questioo.Lord IJdedeigh has rsplied, referring »he Port?to the liberty enjoyed by the English p'-e-s, declaring that the article?which were made the basis of the enquiry hud not been inspired, although, he added, the Government and the majority of the English people shared the views expressed hy the press.Sir William White, the British ambassador to the Porte, m answer fco a similar request from Hocha Pacha, theTurKish Minister of Foreign Affairs, has made a statement substintially the same as that of Lord Iddes-leigh.The Porte believes that! nrk*-y would make a falss step if she acted with Russia alone, and is now seeking a solution of th\u201c Bulgarian difficulty that shall be in accord witn the general wi*h of all the powers.No definite action, however, will b?taken until the return to Constantinople ofGodban Pacha, the

doe* not favor him England cinnot recommend him for the Bulgarian throne.In conclusion Lord Idd-sleigh says England is ready to treat with the powers concerned by a conference or exchange of views, for the purpose of bringing the Bulgarian difficulty to an adjustment, but that in her opinion these negotiations, which ought to ba based on the treaty of Berlin, should precede the choice of a prince.UEKJIANY.Berlin, Jan.5\u2014Emperor William in rej ($y to the congratulations of the Rutisiau Kaluga regiment, of which he is Honorary Colonel, sent the following telegram : \"I wa?not di-appointed in my expectation, that my faithful Kaluga reg ment would remember the eightieth anniversary of my entry into the army.I received with pleasure the good wishes expressed in connection with so exceptional a jubilee.I shall preserve my attachment to the regiment until the last moment of my life.\u201d The Official Gazette publishes the following letter from Emperor William to the Crown Prince Frederick William \u201cThe army knows how near it has always been to my heart.It will understand what feelings stir me at the thoughts of my having belonged to it for tully eighty years, and of the changes the army has undergone with me during that period.At the time of my eotering the army it lay beaten back to the furthest confines of the Kingdom after the severest blow Russia ever sustained.But the soldierly spirit, which my glorious forefathers imp anted in it, remained unbroken and soon put forth new shoots.This was proved iu tl.e?e wars of liberation, the nobleet remembrances of my youth.This spirit the army preserved through the hones tlabors of a loi g period id place, and its glorious deeds in recent times show that the same spirit has been upheld m full streugth and has striveu still more.I have seen many changes in the outward form of the army.Generations have pa*8> d away under my eyes, but in my inmost heart and feeling the army has not changed.The placing of the teuse of honor and duty before all else, the readiness tol iy down life for these, is the tie which biuds all the German race closely together ard now unites grandsons and great grandsons as firmly as it did their forefathers.It greatly rejoices me to be permitted to speak thus to the army, and to be able to say that during these eighty years we have assuredly belonged to one another.Fully and unreservedly I thank the army for its loyalty and devotion to duty.Until my last breath thtsc feelings of iove and gratitude will remain the most vivid feeliugs of my heart.\" It is st ougly believed that the Govern, ment\u2019s demand?* mbraced in the military bill wi\u2019l be cgi ceded for tlnee years, aud possibly seven.FAST EXPEESS TRAIN SERVICE -BETWEEN- Quebec and

Me have hell all along that a session of Parliament will, in nil probability ensue, before dissolution takes place, and wo have seen no reason to change our opinion by anything which has occurred during the last few weeks.The fact is, the country is hardly prepared for a contest at the poils.The Riel question in Quebec, the Roman Catholic war in Ontario and tli3 repeal question in Nova Scotia have oply recently been fought out, and sober men will be inclined to wait a few months, until the i State returns to its normal condition, l)eforo springing another campaign on the people.Besides, there is no reason in the word why the present Parliament should not sit out its prescribed time.From Montreal comes the rumor that the elections for the Commons will be held on the 2ôfh of this month.This is all nonsense : that date, at all events seems premature.People want more than three weeks\u2019 notice for a great political contest in a country like ours.Besides, was it not given out recently, by the Government organs, that several prominent members of the Cabinet, including Sir John Macpo-Nald himself, were going down to the Maritime Provinces to organize the following, and make speeches to the electors, before the coming session of Parliament 1 This promise will, doubtless, be kept, and if it is kept, we may be sure that no elections will take placo.Some of the newspapers say that the Dominion authorities are anxious tc get the elections well in hand before the Legislature of Quebec meets, fearing as they do that the accession to power of Mr.Mercier,\u2014if he gets there,\u2014 would seriously imperil the chances of the Quebec Conservatives.Those who ta k irrthis way, forgot that Mr.Mow at has just won a victory in Ontario, and that the same rule applies to that Province.Sir John, who probably knows the actual situation, and condition of things political, as well as any man in the Eomi-1 nion, will be slow we think, to risk an encounter now, particularly when there is no need of it.As he stands to-day, everything is in his favour.He has at least ten months of an unexpired term to the good.Of what use would it be to him, to have the elections now ?None that we can see.LOCAL A*:» OTHER WISE.HE HE AND ELSE IVH EUR.Personal Intelligence.Mr, Jehu IUI1, jnr., M.I\u2019.P.,of Montreal, i» a*, v i* St.Louts H \u2022tel.Mr John J.Macdonald, ctntractor, »f liie, is a' the St.Louis Hotel.Mr.Penia, of Boater, repienntatire ot Mess i s Killer, Peabody & C.!., is at the St.Louis Mote1.Messrs.John Burs tall, John Buratsll, jnr., and K.Harcourt Smith, leave town this \u2022.ven-irg by C.P.R Lr New York, wi erne tlv y take the ».«.\u201c Gei manic,\u201d on Saturday, f.r Liverpool.\u2014Mild weather.\u2014 Fe»st of the Epiphany te-day.\u2014Ti.o Coy Council will not meet not 1 Lake St.John Railway.Another of the heavy freight engines o( the \u201c Cousol.datim \u201d patceiii, already described in too Chronicle, arrived at Quebec y sUr-day, for the me of ihe Lake Sf.John Railway.This rngine\u2014(No.10)\u2014was built by tha Canadian Locomotive Works of Ki ustO''.Out., uni has been named \"John K a ai > r ODi: id the dirrclors of the company.The ei ginc makes a trial trip lo-day.A The Bridge.representative of a leading uholealo! bcuae in thise ty a.id that ?ho last time the : ice ».r.«l,e t .ok, th:y \\v ro obl gt d, dur Dg ! two week?in tne rpr rg cf the year, «lie i thu j ice was bad, to ship alt their g-m l< for po u'a j ou t iu I .urcol niai by C.P.R.to Montreal, ! 1 thence by G:a:ul Truth t j L;vi«, making 3.Î0 arilea of railway height t > pry .or nolhinp.!
