FOREIGN 1NTELL1GENCE.

The Gar of Russia has written formal let
ter to the Emperor of Austria and King OF
Hungary upon the Turkish situation in which
he expresses decided preference for peace.
This declaration is accompanied, however, with
the usual diplomatic reservations concerning
national honor and 80 forth.
Turkey has communicated to the Ambassa-
doris of the powers the plan of reform applica-
BILE to the whole Empire, including the re-
moval of all disabilities from Christians. The
plan of reforms comprises the creation OF
National Council of 100 members.
It is officially announced that the Servlan
Government will only yield to foreign mill
tary Intervention, and will not entertain peace
conditions unless they are first submitted TO
Seryia.
The Turkish Government acknowledges its
inability to accept the proposition Of the guar
anteeing powers for the settlement of the
Eastern question. The reason assigned for
this is that it has little control over it's bar
barian subjects, and fears the result should the
advice of Christian Europe be acceded to. Co
incident with the above announcement comes
q dispatch stating that the Powers are prepar-
ing another note renewing their propositions,
accompanying them with suggestive hints as
to the grave consequences that may ensue in
the event Of the PUrtes second refusal to as
sent thereto.
A Constantinople dispatch reports that q
strong war spirit is manifested by the popu-
lace. A commencement of hostilities with
Russia would be welcome to the Mussulmans,
and is considered by them unavoidable.
Russia and Austria are rapidly placing their
armies ON war footing.
Late advices from Havana state that the
Cuban insurgents are unusually bold and ag-
gressive; that they have shown themselves IN
localities where they were not at all expected,
and that they have recently gobbled up good
sized Spanish garrison, kept the troops as
prisoners, and liberated the officers on parole.
1t is also said that the troops sent from Spain
are wholly unreliable, many Of them DESERVING,
and still larger number of them becoming
insubordinate on account Of hard usage. The
old jealousy between the native and imported
soldiery is becoming intensified by alleged par
TALLY shown TO the foreigners, and, owing to
this unsettled condition Of affairs in the Span
ish camp, it is predicted that the patriots will
cause much trouble during the coming winter
campaign.
A London dispatch of the 9TH inst. says
''Lord DCrby's dispatch to Sir Henry Elliott
regarding the Bulgarian atrocities was issued
last night. The British Ambassador is directed
to demand personal audience with the Sultan,
communicate Baring's report, demand repara-
ton and justice, urge the immediate rebuild
ing of the houses and churches, provide for
the restoration of the industries, and give as
sistance to the persons who have been reduced
topoverty."
The Mexican Congressman propose to save
themselves the trouble and expense of going
before the people as candidates for reelection,
by the simple process of passing law declar-
ing themselves reelected.
It is reported from Madrid that Jovellar has
resigned the government of Cuba, and is to be
succeeded by Martinez Campos, one of the
abIest generals of the royal army, who particu-
larry distinguished himself in the war against
the Carlist rebels. The recent sudden develop
ment of vitality among the insurgents in Cuba
has probably been a surprise to the home gov
eminent, as it certainly has been to the rest of
the world.
England has just shipped O. 1000, 900 cartridges
to Turkey.
A draft is in progress in Spain, the
design being to reinforce the army
operating in Cuba. On Sunday the 9Th
inst, $4,000 conscripts were drawn for
this service, making 10000 in all now on
their way or to be embarked immediately-a
force sufficient, under vigorous handling, to
sweep the last rebeI into he sea in a month.
