TURKEY.
" The movements of the Turkish armies against
Montenegro," says the political summary of the
Noniteur," begin to be more clearly marked out.
It appears certain that the Ottoman Generals have
resolved to attack the country simultaneously en
every vulnerable point. For that purpose, Der-
visch Pacha, having received a reinforcement of
3,000 men, marched on Nicksich ; Abdi Pacha has
left Spuz, and Hussein Pacha has selected Rasse-
wich as the starting point of his operations. The
appeal made to the Turks inhabiting the Ilerzego-
vine to join the Ottoman army and fight for their
faith, hadad been attended to, and a number of volun-
teerspresevted themselves. The first combats
appear favourable to the Turks. Dervisch paella
even, it is said, was threatening Cettingen."

Om observe each other everywhere with an

uneasy eye, and the Ottoman authorities seem to
have undertaken the task of pushing the Servians
to fearful extremities. The Turkish commander of
Ghabatz, one of the fortresses occupied by the Turks
in the Principality, has just given a fresh proof of
that tendency. That fortress, as is known, over-
looks the course of the Save, but it has pleased the
commander to prevent a Servian barque, charged
with tiles, from passing before the place, and to
prohibit the entry to merchants who have business
to settle with the Turks, and even to the Servians
charged to deliver to him official communications.
This conduct has caused much discontent and great
uneasiness to the Christian population of Ghabatz,
and the Servian Government has thought it its duty
to intervene. M. Garachanin has denounced the
fact to the consuls and Turkish authorities of Bel-
grade, in a circular in which he gives the copy of a
despatch from the Prefect of Ghabatz."
