CoNsTANrISoPLE, March Fears are
entertained that the revolutionary move
mcnt which has broken out in Thessaly
and the Epirus, and which has mainly
proceeded from the kingdom of Greece,
will spread to Bosnia, Albania, Montana
gro, and Scrvia. With a British and a
French army under weigh for Turkey,
it is not to be presumed that Austria
will feel inclined to remain an Indifferent
spectator, but eagerly look out for the
opportunity of occupying some of those
provinces, to counterbalance the pres
ence OF French and British armies in
Bulgaria or Roumelia. An insurrec.
tional movement, which i. is by no means
difficult to encourage, will be the signal
for the march of an Austrian army into
Servia, Bosnia and Montenegro.
