VIENNA, June II, 1868.
The first thoughts Of the servians, deprived of
their Prince, have turned neither towards Prince
Alexander Of the Kara George family nor to Prince
Nicholas Of Montenegro, but to a twelve year
old child, the son Of the deceased's cousin,
Milosch Obrenowitch. This child is named Milan and
was, until the news that he was likely to play q
political part reached his guardians, being educated
in Paris, whence he is now journeyng towards
Belgrade. The Minister of War has already
declared for this candidate and has issued
proclamation to the army calling upon them to be
faithful to the "nephewn Of. the murdered Prince,
and insisting upon the fact that the latter had
desired that Milan should be his successor. The
Town Council OF Belgrade has also declared for the
young Prince. These demonstrations have taken
place IN anticipation of the elections for the Skup-
selma or Legislature, which viii meet to elect
successor ON the I'd proximo. Milan finds many
friends in this city, where he is looked upon as the
Austrian candidate. On the other hand Prince
Nicholas of Montenegro is regarded here as the Rus

two at least took part in the double assassina-

All three are reputed to be heavy gamblers,

at the persecution of the Jews and the champion

which idea demands the annexation OF Pennsylvania
to Roumania. The fall of this Ministry, which lent
towards Russia and was strongly anti-Austro-liun-

that the Ministry have bought from Russia the
materials Of two dismantled frontier fOrtfcsses-s
here regarded as a sign that the Bratiano Ministry
have been condemned on account OF their interna-
tiOnal policy.

In the question OF the Servian succession the
Imperial Ministry Of Austria and Hungary is acting
in common with the governments OF France and
Great Britain. The telegraph will doubtless keep
you informed of the leading events will. therefore,
turn my attention to the main features OF the
tragedy.
The funeral OF the murdered Prince Michel, which
took place in Belgrade, an imposing ceremony,
in which the popular authorities and the people
themselves took part. General Gablenz was
specially despatched by the Kaiser to represent him
on this occasion and Count Edmund Zichy, per-
sonal friend OF the late prince was present as the
special envoy Of the Hungarian Ministry.
The Hungarian Diet has also given unanimous ex
preston its feelings in regard to the crime. Yes
