sent to the Russian Consul at Jerusalein dispatches
relative to the question of the Holy Cities. The
Porte appears to settle the differences with Russia
amicably. The funds have risen."
We read in the Debats :—" We have received
accounts from Constantinople vid Vienna. Prince
Menschikoff )324 his audience of the Sultan on the
9th, and made, known to him the demands of his
Government. As far as has already transpired, these
demands differ in many respects from what had been
at first announced ; the Russian u/timettum is said
to be much less severe and of more easy accept-
ance. The language of Prince Menschikoff is,
moreover, said to have been very moderate, and
the Sultan and the Envoy-Extraordinary of the
Emperor Nicholas are said to have parted well
satisfied with each other."
Dispatches from Constantinople announce that
important conferences are about to take place in
that city between the representatives of Turkey,
Russia, and France, on the subject of the guardian-

that this demand will be acceded to by the other
great powers ; but England will

these discussions, alleging that interest
in the matter in question.

tered a vast number of the Turks. Omer Pacha
was not able to reach Podgoritza till the next day.

Letters from Cattaro, in the Lloyd of Vienna,
announce the arrival there on the preceding day of
the Vladika of Montenegro, with several of his
chiefs, to thank the Emperor of Austria for the
protection he afforded to the mountaineers in the
late struggle. The Voivode of Grahovo died at
Globug on the 4th. From later accounts of the
13th, in the same paper, it appears that the Vladika
left Cattaro on that day, in company with Lieut.-
Col. Stratomirovitsch and other Austrian officers,
and the Russian Conamissaries Kowalewski and
Berger, to inquire into the truth of the allegations
of Omer Pacha against the population of Piperi,
whom he accuses of having attacked the Turkish
•troops in their garrisons. Omer Pacha still has
his troops concentrated at Sputz, Podgoritza, and
Antivari.
