A Constantinople special says that in a circular addressed to the signatory Powers to the Treaty of Berlin, regarding the new rebellion south of the Balkans, the Porte describes the condition of the Mussulmen population in Bulgaria and Roumelia as in- tolerable, and declares that a foreign power is co-operating with the ‘*Slavonic Com- mittee at Sofia” and aiming at the estab- lishment of this region into an iudependent State. In another note, addressed to Prince Labanoftf, the Russian Ambassador at Con- stantinople, the Porte charges Russia with connivance at the plans of the rebels, and demands her aid in suppressing this rebel- lion begun under the very eyes of the Rus- sian army of occupation. Prince Labanoff replying to the note assures the Porte that the Russians had taken no part in the Bul- garian uprising in Macedonia, which is merely acts acts of brigandage by Bulgarian and Turkish deserters possessing no poli- tical significance,

The Vienna Abend Poste states that the latest news in regard to the Bulgarian up- rising is disquieting, as the insurrection ap- pears to have successfully resisted the first attempts at forcible suppression.

The insurgents are now advancing on Seres. On the other hand, some individual bands have been defeated. The Mahome- dan element is rising on all sides to assist the Porte, and considerable forces have been dispatched from Salonica to insurgent territory. The object of the uprising is to realize the idea of Bulgaria reaching the Aigean Sea, in accordance with the treaty of San Stefano. It has more than local significance, and touches questions of a European character.

The declaration of the Austrian Govern- ment, recently made, that Austria will not occupy Novi Bazar, has reassured the Porte, and Safvet Pasha has warmly thanked Count Zichy, the Austro-Hungarian Am- bassador at Constantinople.

A Vienna dispatch to the Times in this connection states that the relations between the Cabinets of Constantinople and Berlin are on quite a friendly footing.

Baker Pasha has commenced work on the Chalalja lines of new fortifications.

The East Roumalian Commission has ar- rived at Phillipopolis, and held its first meeting without molestation.

The reforms sanctioned for Asia-~-Minor included a gendarmerie under foreign in- structors with partly foreign administration; a Court of Appeals partly foreign in eom- position, and for minor courts a foreign in- spector in each vilayet. A European sys- tem of taxation under European adminis- tration will be experimentally introduced in one or two vilayets, and thence extended if successful to all. The officials at the |head of the financial department and the |

Governors of provinces.are to be appointed for five years, and are to be irremovable ex- cept for cause.

Hon. Messrs. Layard and Fournier, the British and French Ministers respectively, recommend Safvet Pasha, the Grand Vizier, to constitute a commission of foreign mer- chants and bankers to devise a plan to stop the rapid depreciation of the currency, but the Sultan refused to consent, and the de- preciation of the currency continues.

The Porte hesitates to appoint a governor for Eastern Roumelia for fear of a conflict between the Russian and Turkish authori- ties. Russia has informed the International Commission that it is impossible at present to restore the Turkish judiciary in Eastern Roumelia, the Russian authorities desiring in the interest of the province itself to con- tinue in administration of its affairs as long as necessary

Minister Layard has received information that Russian troops from Rustchuck, Shumla and Varna continue to arrive at Adrinople and elsewhere in Eastern Rou- melia,

Boston, Oct. 28.

The following dispatch has been tele- graphed to the New England press from New York :—

*‘A London letter of October 12 to the World reports that the British Foreign Min- ister, Lord Salisbury, has been invited by the American Government to consider seri- ously the very decided objections which it is disposed to make to the payment of the Halifax award. The new circumstance is created for both governments by the recent report of Captain Sullivan, of the British ship Sirius, sent by the British Government to investigate the events of January, 1878, when a number of American fishermen were violently driven from the stations on the Newfoundland coast, their fishing tackle. destroyed and business broken up. Capts Sullivan reported this outrage justified by the local law of Newfoundland prohibiting Sunday fishing, and the Marquis of Salis- bury, it seems, accepted the report Kas embodying the Government’s views, and so informed the United States. The American Government, it is said, then informed Salis- bury that the question as to whether the American fisherman pursuing their business under the terms of a solemn treaty are liable to violence at the hands of petty local au- thorities for infringing a local regulation not embraced in the treaty, is too import- ant and must be settled by the British Gov- ernment for itself upon the report of the naval officer. The time fixed for paying the award will expire November 24. It is ob- vious that this matter must be sharply and immediately pressed upon the attention of Her Majesty’s Government by the United | States, as to pay the money without effec- tually breaking down the contention of Salisbury as to those offences, will put the United States into a false position and seriously embarrass their diplomatic action. The situation has become decidedly un- comfortable within the past few days, and correspondence on the subject between the two governments has assumed a serious character.’

VERSAILLES, Oct. 28,

The Senate and Deputies assembled to- day. The Senate adjourned until Thurs- day, when the election of Cassagnac will be discussed.

St. Pererssure, Oct. 28.

The ‘‘Agence Russe” contradicts the re- ports that Russia intends to raise a lean on the security of her tobacco monopoly.

Lonpon, Oct. 28.

A Bombay despatch says the field army of the Ameer of Afghanistan is believed tu number 50,000 infantry, 12 cavalry and 200 guns, including a battery of Armstrong guns.

Lonpon, Oct. 29.

A despatch from Simla states that move- ments of Persian troops in the direction of the Afghan frontier are reported, which will prevent the Ameer from withdrawing troops from Herat to reinforce Candahar.

Vienna, Oct. 28.

There is great opposition in the Reich- stag to Count Andrassy’s foreign policy, but it is probable that he will be supported by the Hungarian Reichstag and by the members of the Hungarian Delegation. These, acting with a strong minority of the Austrian members who favor his policy, will secure him a majority when a vote of the united delegations is taken.

Beri, Oct. 28.

The Germania (Ultramontane organ) says that the Kissingen negotiations have been without result, and that the Pope is now waiting an answer to certain propositions he made to the Prussian Government.

The Court Circular tells this story abou Garibaldi : ‘‘When he was last in London one of the Mrs. Leo Hunters of the period secured him for an evening party thro the intervention of a friend, to whom expressed herself profoundly grateful. The General ap ,» and received a warm welcome, but he had not been very long in the room before his hostess asked him to sing! Much astonished, the Italian patriot declared that he could not sing. ‘Oh, I

know,’ said the lady, Koy Sx! e’s artists have to be very careful ; but ean’t you ob- lige us with one little song.’ eau |”
