Turkey on her frontier would be followed in a shor
time by the loss Of Croatia and

diplomatis who arrived here last night on a speclal
mission He told that Russia intended again to be-
friend Turkey and TO preserve her empire intact He
said that from what he had learned of the intentions of
the Hungarian Cabinet it was clear TO him that
Austria would do anything and everything in her
power both by occult and open dealings to put down
the nsurrection, and that she would do by armed
force if necessary, though she was unwilling TO
ostensibly as the friend Of Turkey The Hungarans,
he added, extremely jealous Of the Scaves They
are now the dominant party in the Austrian Empire,
and they would hercey oppose the introduction Of any
new element which would place them in a minority

TURKEY.
then asked him what the meaning of NJ. Jouine,
the Russian Commissioner TO the Congress of Mostar
having been taken suddenly ILL., He answered that the
newspapers had printed great deal of nonsense the
subject, but that in fact NJ Jouine had been ap
pointed Commissioner at ALL 'Jouine" said he ''whc
is rather busybody made himself conspicuous as
the protector and originator OF
PANscLAvoNIc AGITATIoNs.
Jastrebow, who is much more sensible person, has
been appointed to go to Mostar and he is great friend
of Mahmoud Pacha, the new Grand Vizer, so that it
will be seen at that to do nothing against
the interests of Turkey The rebels well OF
this. Prince Milan has been told by TO preserve
strict neutrality, and Montenegro has been
advised TO grant free passage through
her territory to the Turkish renforcements
Directly Jastrebow nominated by our government

went to him, and ordered to keep quiet fancy
he himself had had notion of becoming vojvod of
Bosnia and the Herzegovina Ifso, it was clearly ex-
planned to him that he could get help from The
insurgents have yet neither arms, officers nor
money"
Indeed the result of the struggle up to the present
writing may be thus summarized -
l. The revolt in Turkish Croatia is suppressed.
The Austrian government is acting against the in
surgcnts,
g. The Russian government has warned them to ex-
pect assistance.
A. The German government is supporting the
Austrian policy
s. Italy is neuter.
g. The British government is in favor of the British
holders of Turkish securities and therefore ready to
help the Turks
T. The attempts which have been hitherto made by
troops of serva and Montenegrin volunteers to pass
the Drina have failed
s. Herzegovina except the parts bordering Monte
negro, in the hands Of the Turks
g. The principal towns of the province have also
steadily resisted the attacks of the insurgents Tho
Turks are now preparing to strike decisive blow at
the heart of the instruction.

TURK OF THE OLD SCHOOL,
therefore, like Mahmoud Pacha may well be disposed
to ask the Sultan what Turkey has gained by the al
lance of the Western Powers As far the peace and
comfort of the Sultan concerned Turkey had far
better have submitted to the Russian demands in 1853
than have thrown herself into the of England.
Russia would have been quite content with strip of
Modavia and joint protectorate over wallacha and
would have granted Turkey handsome compensation
for such concessions Now she has lost Roumana alto

obliged TO give up. In like the English
alliance has been productive of the loss of Egypt and
the general revolt of her Christian States What worse
things could have happened to the Turks If England
had been their foe9
