St. Petehsburgh, April 27.

With reference to England's objection to indefinitencss in Bismark's proposition Tor the basis of Congress, Russian ministerial journals here state the great powers never agreed that there should be a direct exchange of views prior to the meeting of the Peace Congress.

[ London, April 26. The health of Bismarck and Gortscha* koff is better. Diplomatic negotiations are proceedings. The anti-English feeling of the Russian press is more moderate. Eussia has raised a difficulty that Bismarck's proposal for the withdrawal of Bussian troops from Stefano, and the British fleet from the Sea of Marmora, favors England. Russia foregoes the intended entrance of officers and men to Stamboul on Sunday to attend the Greek Churches. Twenty British ironclads for the Baltic squadron are now ready for active service. The absence of news discourages hopes for the success of the effort! for the maintenance of peace. •'' Bom bat, April 29. The Indian expedition is now embarking for Malta.
