MONTENEGRO.

VIENNA, SEPT. 20.
There aro so many extraordinary reports in cir-
culation relative to the state of affairs in Monte-
negro that I must repeat my former statement, that
Prince Nicholas, unconditionally, accepted the ulti-
matum of Omar Pasha. In his letter, which was a
very humble one, the Prince twice declared that he
accepted all the conditions, but he expressed a fear
that Articles 5 and 6 would sooner or later lead to
very unpleasant complications. On Monday last there
was a kind of mutiny in the Servian barracks at Bel-
grade. The soldiers complained that they were tired
of doing nothing, and declared they would return
to their homes if they were not at once led against
the Turks. The end of the matter was that about
200 of the most riotous of the men were sent away
from Belgrade. The Turks residing at Uschitza
have retired into the fort which commands that
place. A friend, who is now at Semlin, informs me
that the animosity of the Servians to Mr. Long-
worth " and to everything English" is exceedingly
great. A few days ago two Turkish steamers put
1,000 regulars on shore at Antivari, where the ar-
rival of 9,000 Bashi-Bazouks is expected. Omar
Pasha has left Scutari for Constantinople, and it is
believed that he will receive instruction to treat
Servia as he has treated Montenegro.
The English Minister at Athens has presented a
note to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, in which
it is said that her Majesty's Government has posi-
tive proof that the Greek Government plays into the
hands of the revolutionists in European Turkey.

GENFBAL PALLAVICINPS REPORT ON
THE CAPIURE OF GARIBALDI.

The following is a letter from Dr. Ripari to the
editor of the Diritto, in reference to some particu-
lars in the report of General Pallavicini:—
Sir,--lt was not in puerile boasting that I ob-
served to you, in the letter I lately wrote to von,
that I was at the side of General Garibaldi r few
seconds after he received his wounds, but because I
foresaw then that my testimony might have some
weight; singularly so since the official and private
reports of Major-General Pallavicini,

Not accustomed to speak through the press, and
having nothing to fear or to hope, I trust that ray
words may obtain that belief which should never be
denied to an honest old man,

The left column of Major-General Pallavicini did
not take the position with the bayonet, but was
kept back by the treating fire of Generals Corrao
and of Menotti. I saw this with my own eyes, be-
ing sent, owing to the lack of staff-officers, all gone
out with orders (the first order was that all should
remain at their posts, seated or standing, as they
happened to be), to observe the movements of the
regular troops, and report them.
The General was wounded at the third discharge,
and by balls which were whistling from our left to
our right, and it was he who fixed on the place
where he wished to be laid down, in front of the
assailants, among the last trees at the edge of the
forest. He was wounded without previous intima-
tion, while he was walking on foot along the centre
of his men, calling out with his sonorous voice,
"Do not fire ; " and all the trumpets of the left
and centre repeated the same command.

The fire, which lasted perhaps a quarter of an
hour, having ceased, a lieutenant of the regular staff
presented himself to the General, dr4claring he was
sent to parley. He was followed by a company of
riflemen, who took their position on the esplanade
at thirty paces from the General. The General
ordered that he should be disarmed, and on his pro-
testing that a man sent to parley is held sacred, the
General replied forcibly--" For thirty vears I have
made war, and I know its customs better than you;
it is not thus men come to parley." A little while
after, however, his sword was restored to him. The
same happened afterwards to Major Giulitti, of the
sth Rifles, who took his position with another com-
pany to the right between the General and our
centre, stationed in the front.

Now, how was it that they allowed themselves to
be disarmed, surrounded as they were by their own
forces P Because they would have been all destroyed
by the balls from our men, who were covered by the
close and thick trees of the forest ; because Garibaldi
was determined to spare blood, and lamented, not
his own (which was flowing while he shouted,
"Viva Italia, viva Italia") but that which there was
too much reason to expect might be shed.
" Surrender without conditions was agreed on,"
says Major-General Pallavicini in his private report.
It was thus—that, except the arms, each was al-
lowed to carry with him what was his. The ambu-
lance chests were opened, the instruments for
amputation, linen, papers, all were carried away.
To be honourable and truthful I must say that
Major-General Pallavicini gave stringent orders
that property was to be respected, and the officers
used all their endeavours that these orders should
be obeyed.

Money was not to be found," continues Pailavi-
cini, "in spite of all the researches made. But in-
dividually they were provided. I heard afterwards
that in the house where General Garibaldi had
passed the night a remarkable distribution of money
took place during the night to all those who accom-
panied him, to the number of about 150."

Among the 150, more or less, I certainly was one.
I did not know, nor do I know, of any distribution
of money. The General, Menotti, Basso, 'Bedeschini
are here without a farthing. I have still something
short of 100 francs, the remains of 500 which I
drew at Palermo from the banker Florio, by means
of a letter of credit from the banker Bolmida Of
Turin, and it is my own money. It is the same
with Professor Albanese and Dr. Basili, who have
some hundreds of francs remaining of those which
they brought from their own houses.
The paymaster- general had only 3,000 francs in
his chest on the 28th of August.
None of our number, who were always at the side
of the wounded General, heard him pronounce,
either at Soffit% or elsewhere, "Do you no longer
know your general ?" And indeed for what oh,sect
should he have said this ? Could it be to -awaken
compassion ? But there was more than compassion,
there was eloquence in the grave silence of the
populations. Could any individv.al suppose that.
the General had the idea of calling on the people to
make an uproar? The observation that " no shout-
ing followed this question"• would really make one
suppose they did believe that. Such a supposition
does very little honour to the reason and common
sense of those who allow it to be perceived that
they could believe it.

I testify that the words, "Do you no longer
know your genera] ?" never came from the mouth
of General Garibaldi.—l am, &c.,

DEMOLITION OF HOUSES IN THE STRAND.--,A
large number of houses both east and west of what was for-
merly ilungerford-street, but which is now only a heap °f
ruins, are being taken down for the purposes of the ap-
proach to the new Charing-cross railway station. Some
of these houses have only recently been rebuilt at greav
expense.

THE PRICE OF BREAD.--rAllOther reduction is
the price of the 41b. loaf has almost generally taken Place'
Remarkable as the Surrey side of the Thames is for cam'
petition amongst the bakers a pretty unanimous feeling
exists to sell most excellent bread as low as 6d. the 41b'
loaf. As usual, the "high price" branch of the trade hale
fixed their figure at 7d.

THE EASTERN FISHERIES.—The herring
is now in active prosecution, and far deliveries have been
made at Great Yarmouth, at which port vessels have 817
rived with catches ranging from one to eight lasts ea°—
The quality of the fish taken is considered, however, to be
4
scarcely so good. Prices have fluctuated from £8 to $2l.
per last, although some few samples have realised higher
rates. At Lowestoft also a considerable quantity of her-
rings have been landed from the North Sea, but some °lit-
plaints are made with respect to their quality.
