The following additional details of the recent en-
gagement between the Turks and the Montenegrins
were published here to-day :
The inhabitants of Tranitza, one of the villages
occupied about a month ago by the MontenNrm,
summoned recently to their assistance a body of
Bashi-Barouks who were in the neighbourhood, to
deliver them from their assailants.

The irregular troops, amounting to from 400 to
600 men, had scarcely entered Tranitica when they
were surrounded by a very considerable Monte-
negrhi force. The Bashi-Bazouks being thus sur-
prised, were obliged to surrender without striking
a blow, and were conducted to Cativo.
Measures have been taken to expel the Monte-
negrins from the positions which they occupy, and

The decimation made by the representative of
Electoral Rem in the Federal Diet yeetertlay, ex-
the wish of the Elector, that the Federal
reetsielould fulfil its duty. The Electoral govern-
ment maintains that the preposition of Prussia and
Austria does not state distinctly whether, when the
"Estates" are spoken of, the first Chamber is
meant ; whether also the expression "constitu-
tional way," used in the Austro-Priussian note, al-
ludes to the electoral law el 1831 or that of 1849 ;
and Whether the institutions of Electoral Hew, to
be suppressed as at variance with the Federal con-
stittatlon, are to disappear before or after the Elec-
toral government shall have come to an understabd-
ing with the country.

TELEGRAPHIC COMMUNICATION WITH IRELAND.—
A telegram received lad evesiag states that the Electric
and lateraatiomil Telegraph Compaey's new submarine
cable foe connoting England with Ireland ha. been success-
fully laid between the coasts of Pembroke and Wexford in
perfect working order. The cable, manufactured by Glass,
Elliott, and Co., is 63 mike In length, contains four con-
duces' wires insulated with gutty percho and other mate-
rials, ow the latest itnproved methods, and is protected by
twelve heavy iron strands, the total weight being about 6e
toes per mile. The novelty iutsxluced in the manufac-
ture has been the coating of the entire cable with a
owommition (Bright and Clark's patent) for the purpose of
protecting the iron from corrosion end decay. The adoption
of this principle is likely to have a most important influence
ea the further progress of submarine telegraphy, as tending
to metre the durability of cables for as indefinite period,
and to render investments of cereal in such undertakings
at permanent sew. The Electric Telegraph Company
=using the same composition in the cable about to be
green England and Holland. Mr. Canning, of the
Arm of Oise, Elliott, and 00., ably superintended the pay-
, *pug of the Irish Gable heel the steamer Berwick.
