A special to tue standard from Kome

The Vienna correspondent of the

seems that the Austrian government
replied that it could not hold out any
hope of successful mediation.
Constantinople, Dec 18. Erroneous
interpretatioijs having been given to
the circular of the Porte inviting medi
ation. It is officially explained that
Turkey does not approach the powers
as a vanquished btate, sioce she still
has two lines of defence which the
government believes she would be able
to hold. The.Porte, by its circular, de
sires to intimate its willingness to con
sider the proposals made by the Con
stantinople conference. As war began
owing to Tu key's refusal to adhere to
those proposals, the Porte thinks it
might be determined now on that ba

probably all the other powers, are pre
pared to concede. If the Turks refuse
the concession it will be because of the
conviction that England will help them

to hindered the4 realization of his plan
for the remodelling of the cabinet. A
rumor ' is gaining credit that Herr
Camphansen, vice president of the
council of ministers and Minister of
Finance, and Dr Achenboet, Minister
of Commerce nd Public Works, will
resign, and that the latter will be re
placed by Dr Freedenthal, Minister of
Agriculture, and that Herr Bennigsen,
President of the Chamber of Deputies,
will become Home Minister, and the
other portfolios will be distributed
when Bismarck ietums to Berlin. Such
a rotation would be a success for the
national liberal party, who, up to the
middle of last week, despaired of so
hopeful an issue. Apparently the con
servatives declined at the last moment
to enter the cabinet previous to the
removal of Dr Talk, Minister of Public
Instruction and Ecclesiastical Affairs,
unless they had guarantees that
all ecclesiastical laws, issued since the
beginning of the ecclesiastical war,
should be partly abolished and partly
remodelled. Bismarck is now working
to remove some courtiers of high
rank, whom he charges with conspira
cy against him. According to the lat
est intelligence be has, up to this time,
not been successful, but there are indi
cations that those courtiers must this
time yield to the chancellor.

A Difference in the Cabinet in Reference to the
Treaty of Paris.
Manchester, Dec 18. The London
correspondent of the Manchester Guar
dian telegraphs that journal : It was
the gossip of all the political clubs to
day (Monday) that the cabinet is di
vided about the measures to be taken
to prevent a one sided alteration of the
treaty of Paris, and that Lord Derby,
foreign minister, and the Marouis of
Saulsbury, secies ary of state for India,
are opposed to the pet scheme of Lord
Beaconsneid, the .Premier, to summon
Parliament to meet earlier than usual.
It is exceedingly probable that Parlia
ment will meet on the 17th of January,
to which time it was prorogued. last
week, but the means by which Lord
Beaconsneid hopes to maintain British
interests under the treatv of Paris will
require further deliberation.
.Note. Parliament usually meets in
