VIENNA, December 9. -The semi-official Fremdenblatt, referring to-day military to conference information at the Hofburg, undor the the published concerning presidency of tho Emperor, observes that any further yesterday's particulara of its proceedings must necessarily be withheld.
There is no foundation for the statements which have again been put forward regarding the alleged diplomatic enquiries at St. Petersburg by the German end Austrian concerning the massing of troops. The Governments renewal of the rumours in question has arisen from exchange of views on the subject which has been to the proceeding botween Berlin and Vienna, and which up present has led only, to decisions of a negative character. Colonel Sujeff, Military at the Russian Embassy left to-day for St. Petersburg in, compliance with here, summons from his Government.
In German diplomatic ciroles a positive contradiction is given to the statements that the German Government bad recently published commeuded the adoption of military measures of. precaution by Austria it being at the samo time declared that the meeting of the Military Council was entirely due to resolve on the part of the Austrian spontancous authoritios. The Russian military movements, especially the pushing forward of troops by echelons towards the Austrian frontier, are regarded in Austrian military circles with somo anxicty. ST. PETERSBURG, December reference to reports published in the Austrian and Gorman newspapers regarding the movements of Russian troops, it is pointed out here that since the retarn of the Uzar from Copenhagen order whatever has been issued with referenco to no reinforcement of troops on the Galician frontier, and that recent movements of troops were carried on in accordance with instructions issued more than a year ago, which included the transfer of the Orenburg division of cavalry, recently effected.
ST. PETERSDURG, Decomber There is absolutely foundation for the statement published by some French papers that the Russian Ambassador nt Rome and the Italian Ambassador nt St. Petersburg were about to go leave for an indefinite period, in consequence of the relations between Russia and Italy having become strained. PESTI, December situation continues to be garded calmness, The extent of Russian armaments well known, as also the fact that great maritime preparations are also proceeding in that country, this being proved by the recent launch of a new gunboat at Seba3topol, while another will be ready next week. Besides these at Nicolaieff and Sebastopol, six other gunboats are course of construction, Colonel Vernander, of the general staff, the most efficient officer of the Russian Engineers, under whose supervision the most modern forts in Poland and South Russia wereconstruotod, has just been appointed by the Czar president of the nowly-constituted committee for the defence of tho empire, In spito of all this the Austro-Hungarian authoritics are careful avoid every action which might be regarded 28 provocation.
The Government maintain that the armaments hitherto effected by Russia require further measures on the part of Austria, and they have mado no demand, either directly or indirectly, Russia to countormand them. Any further armaments inarease of troops on the frontier would, however, necessitate Austria's making a corresponding increase, and carrying similar armaments, in which case the delegations would be summoned, and a communcation on the subject would be made to Parliament. No representations would, how. be addressed to the Russian Government on over, subjcot, The Vienna correspondent of the Times telegraphs that military conference was held at the Hofburg on Thursday Immedimorning. under the presidency of the Emperor.
ately before the conference Field Marshal Archduke Albert had a private audience of the Emperor. The conference was one of those exceptional gatherings which are summoned on occasions when the question of the necessity taking considered. great There measures were present Archduke Albert, Count of military precaution has to of the Staff, General Book; the Army Corps ComKalnoky, Count Bylandt, the War Minister; the Chief manders of Vienna, Prague, Buda-Pesth, and Brun, and several other general officers. The sitting lasted four hours, and it was eventually decided that no special military preparation should be made-first, because the armaments in Poland had begun before the late meeting between the Czar and the German Emperor, and therefore evidently had not been caused by any recent breach in understanding arrived at in Berlin; secondly, should because would be undesirable that Austria-Hungory seem quick to construe the concentration of troops into a provocation; and thirdly, because the diplomatic relations between Russia and Austria were perfectly normal, There will be no second sitting of the Conference, An impression remains, however, that danger of war can no longer be regarded as remote. The concentration of troops in Poland cannot be accounted for on any peaceful hypothesis.
The Russians state that the of Poland have not been placed on war footing, but have simply been brought up to their full effeotive. It is also argued that it was necessary put Poland in a proper state of defence, as in case of war Russian troops could not be mobilised so quiokly as is C2.90 in Germany and Austria. But great military preparations, however and whenover made, imply the fear attack, and it is regarded as ominous that the attention Austrin-Hungary should have been first directed to Russian armaments by the German semi-official press. letter from Poland to the Wiener Tagblatt says -that villages are crowded with soldiers, and that opidemics have broken out among them. The Vienna police have confiscated a great quantity of metal matchboxes, illustrated.
with caricatures of Russian generals. These boxes were. made in France. Their confiscation is a proof that Austrian Government seeks to avoid all chance of giving offence to Russia. The Berlin correspondent of the Times says the journals continue to discuss the relations of Russia and Austria the light of the military preparations which, it in atated, are now boing made by the former Power.
But all their disquisitions are as so much mere clay, without the indispensable straw that goes to the making of bricks. With solid facts of any kind the public is not favoured, but learn from a prime source that the situation, as described by military writers in the Cologne Gazette and other German organs is grossly distorted. In official Russian circles it is positively denied (and I have reason to beliove that the same assurances have been offered to the German Government) that anything like a massing of troops taken place towards the Austrian frontier. There lately, indeed, been a movement of change and exchange among the garrisons of Volhynia; but these obanges been ordered long before tho Imperial interview in Berlin, and were only delayed by local and administrative stacles. Apart from one cavalry division, it is denied that any reinforcements nave been sent in this direction.
The Paris correspondent of the same journal supplies following: -In reply to a telegram which I sent to one my friends to St. Petersburg, who is in a position to perfectly well informed on the subject referred to in enquiry, I have received what follows despatch and removal of the troops by the Kief Railway took placo before the Emporor left. Sinco his return there has been no movement. You may state, as a conclusive proof of pacific intentions, that five days ago the Russian Government refused an offer from A very powerful group Parisian financiers to guarantee the raising of a loon to it 250,000,000 roubles, The reply stated that at present such a proposal could not be accepted. The despatch containing this refusal was signed by the Dinistor of Finance, specially authorised to do so." Tho Berlin correspondent of the' Daily Telegraph reason to believe that it is not an attack on Austria that the Czar is contemplating.
Three weeks ago his Majesty gave his Royal word in Berlin to this effect but events might have occurred to force him to change his mind. seems more probable that Alexander who will discuss the Bulgarian question diplomatically, is meditating a coup at Sofia, and that the Muscovite troops being assembled to back it up. Tho correspondent for the Standard at Berlin says Itussia has given no explanation of her undoubted massing of troops, and so Austria will probably be compelled to strengthen her forces in Galicja, and, if this leads to result, will probably follow it up by Note. All shows that the danger of war'is not imminent, although the situation remains very grave, PROTECTION IN SPAIN. The Madrid correspondent of the Daily Chronicle sAys the ory for increased protection has been raised all over Spain with such violence that it may lead to the downfall of the Government if it refuses to yield to it, or nt all events to 'the elimination from the Ministry of Senor Moret, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, who is the most pronounced free trader in the Cabinet.
Senor Canovas del Castillo and the whole of the Conservative party have placed themselves at the head of the protectionist movement. The proposition they have advanced in the Cortes will, if carried, have the effect of putting an end to the commercial trenties with England, France, and other countries, AS 800n as the terms of the treaties allow of it, and of materially inoreasing the duties on most foreign goods, especially cereals. Romero-Robleda, one of leaders of the new Reformist party, bas also publicly clared in favour of protection. So strong, indeed, is the current, that many deputics and senators who favour free trade have 'assured me that thoy dare not oppose the proteotionist campaign for fear of losing all influence in their distriots. The Government has not yet, however, made up its mind as to what course to pursue.
Probably it will in the end effect a compromise by agreeing to increase the import dutics on agricultural products. BILLIARDS. JOHN ROBERTS 1. J. NORTH FOR £1,000.

Ho WAS therefore under the necessity of resigning the mission with which the President had entrusted him.
The Radical journals this morning strongly condemn the attitudo of the Opportunist party towards M. Goblot, and urge the latter to form 8 Cabinet without the help of tho Opportunists.

COLOGNE, December Cologne Gazette, in an article to-day reverting to the question of the alleged forged documents, hesitation shown by the Russian Government in consenting to their publication appears to justify the supposition that important personages were concerned in their transmission to the Czar, that publication of the documents is considered as more likely to lead to their identification, and thus compromise them.
Itis scarcely possible not to assume that the forgeries have been placed in the Czar's hands with the co operation of personages who were shelterod by their sex and position. The proper instruments for the purpose would be found in Fronoh ladies who have married into noble Russian families. It is known that besides these intermediaries Russian offoials and ex-diplomatists without consideration representing various political currents, as well as Jesuit and Polish elements, have been actively at work to produce a breach between Russia and Germany.
