A ' special to the Times Trom Sti Petersburg Bays : "RumOrij Jftre -in circnlation ,vthatr Russia has demanded that the British fleet quit the Sea . of. Marmora, icnme-' diately." The correspondent believes the report, although exaggerated, to be not entirely unfounded. Min ister; LayardV opposition to the em barkation of the, Russian troops, at Buy ukdere : caused ' grea irritation. An inspired article in tho 'Journal De St" Petersburg attracts much attention. It points to the- continuance of the fleet in the gea of Marmora as a defi ance of international law; and asks if it is not time to ask England what she really wants. Europe should: call England before her judgment seat and summon her to re-enter the sphere of international law by quitting the straits and fprmally engaging not tp return. Semi,ofpiil hints are given that if England does noi wish to attend the Congress it wilt meet'without her. In connection with the foregoing in telligence it phould be stated that ru mors were circulating in the lobbies of Parliament last night that the tone in English official circles is decidedly war like. London, March 23. A telegram from Vienna received in Paris states that Roumania has refused to receive independence at the hands of Rus3ia or permit the passage of Russian troops through her territory during the oc cupation of Bulgaria. The Paris correspondent of the Daily Telegraph hears that Russia has forced Turkey to acquiesce in a secret agreement, according to which Russia would assist, Turkey against a Greco English combination or against the entry of the British fleet to the Bosphorus or Dardanelles largely de minish the indemnity snd guarantee the integrity of the remaining Turkish territory, receiving in return directing power over the revenues of the Porte. .Berlin, March 23. Toe North b&r man Gazette says it is evident that Rus sia regards war with England as inevit able, and knows she was never better able to wage it than now. London, March 23.

The Russians are having one hundred torpedo boats built on the model of the one purchased in Eng land, ;but?no part of the order has come to this country as the internation al complications might hinder its ful fillment." The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian telegraphs : "The government has purchased from Sir Wm Armstrong four one hunarea ton puns at a cost of $80,000 each, and ne gotiations are proceeding for a number Ol smaller weapons laenucai wiiu those already in the service.
