MONTENEGRO.

The following reliabla private information bas
been received from Cattaro. The civil and military
authorities are in an unusual state of excitement.
The frontiers towards Montenegro and Turkey are
strongly occupied, and the concentration of troops
in the neighbourhood of Cattaro continues. The
21st Battalion of Chasseurs has been despatched to
Ragusa, and the 10,h to Castelnuovo. Not long
ago the war steamer Elizabeth arrived with a divi-
sion of "Wooher" infantry regiment, which is on a
war footing, and two oilier companies. Towards
the end of January the 25th battalion of Chasseurs
was sent as a reinforcement to Budua and Castel-
lastua. The staff and band of the battalion are,
however, still at Cattaro. At Dragal, on the fron-
tier of the Heizegovine, where there have been
skirmishes between the Turks and the Monte-
negrins, Austrian pickets have been pushed for-
ward. The troops in Castellastua and Budua are
to do all in their power to keep the Montenegrius
from supplying the insurgents with ammunition.
The bazaar (market) at Cattaro is now but ill at-
tended, as the Montenegrins, young and old, aro
preparing for war. In the detachments of Monte-
negrins which pass along the Austrian frontiers
there are men of 60 years of age. "In fact,"
observes the writ-x of the letter, "things begin to
assume a very serious appearance." A small de-
tachment of ' Wocher" Infantry was nearly lost
in sailing from Risano to Castelnuovo. The storm
was so violent that all the baggage was pitched
into the sea, in order to lighten the vessel. For-
tunately no lives were lost.
The Montenegrins have made an unsuccessful
attempt to get possession of three Turkish forts on
the coast of the Lake of Scutari. It is to be sup-
posed that the Montenegrins are likely to make a
descent on Spizza or Antivari, ports on the Adri-
atic, as Abdi Pasha of Scutari has sent troops to
those places.
