CORRESPONDENCE RESPECTING SERVIA.

A set of papers having this title was issued on
Saturday. They relate entirely to the demand of the
Prince of Berrie for the withdrawal of the Mussuhnan
garrison from the fortress of Belgrade ; a request which,
we stated on Saturday, has been complied with. It
appears that although until lately Austria opposed the
measure, and England decisively refused to countenance
the Servian demand, since Baron Beust became the
Austrian, and Lord Stanley the English, Minister for Fo-
reign Affairs, all the great Powers have pressed the Turk-
ish government to withdraw from Belgrade, represee-
ing that if it delayed to do so the consequences might be
moot serious. Lord Lyons went so far as to tell Aali Pasha
that the real question might soon be whether the Porte
should secure the advantages which would attend a timely
and gracious compliance with the Servian request, or
run the risk of losing the fortress, or of ceding it at last
in a less creditable and advantageous manner. Aali
Pasha said be saw that the Porte could expect no
support from any European power in resisting the de-
mand of the Servians. The Turks would, he said, stand
alone if they refused to give up the fortress of Belgrade ;
still it would be next to impossible to yield.
