ton and the Peace

m Getting In R)chdale to protest against
the Turkish atrocities, a letter from John
Bright was read, il which he says:
nBut for the confidence caused by tie
support of England, the Turks would
not have dared to commit the horrid
crimes of which they have been guilty
in Bulgaria. England shouli clear itself
of all partnership in the interests and
policy Of Turkey. Il is a partnership
Unnecessary to our interests, and de-
grades us in the estimation of every
christian nation.n

CALM REVIEW OF TIE EASTERN WAR
SITUATION.
LONDON, September 5-From the mass
OF conflicting dispatches from the seat of
war, it is possible to summarize the
military situation there as follows:
Tchernayeff and the bulk of the Servian
81 Iny are at Deligrad, and Alexina:z, il
not abandoned, is held only by small
force which the Turks will not hesitate
to leave in their rear In case operations
are not suspended shortly. The march
of the Turks upon Kruzsvats would rem.
der Dsligrad untensble, and the Servian
army is no condition to fight the Turks
on equal Terms. Despite the attempts
to dininish the Importance Of Ffiday's
battle, 1t was undoubtedly total and
disastrous defeat to the 6arYians, accom-
panied by heavy logs in killed aud
wounded. A Bslgrade special says that
no commodity is SO distas eful there now
as the truth. A correspondent Of 8
Breslau paper was set on and beaten on
Monday, for saying that he had heard
there was bad news from the front.
officers go about trying to
convey TO The excited peopls the imTrs
sion that fridays battle resulted in a
Servian victory, but the government is
fully sensible OF tho situation, and that
it cannot much longer remain unknown
to the population.
QUESTION.
LONDON, September 5.-The ISnaes'S
Vienna correspondent says the military
situation IL greatly in favor of the Tulks.
Should diplomatic action fail to secure
suspension Of hostilities, it is almost the
universal expression Of the leading press
of Europe that Turkey cannot make too
many or too ready concessions 10 public
opinion. If she would preserve her posi-
ton in Europe in face Of the strong feel
ing excited By the Bulgarian massacres.
One of the most important elements
in this question is the demonstrations
now being made In England against
Turkey. Toe feeling is 80 strong and
that the friends of the gov
eminent, like wise men, are taking up.the
cry, and seeking to prevent the question
becuHniDg party one. 81
A pamphlet on the subject by Glad
stone will be published this week.
Earl Russell again writes letter, call

a letter frUm the bishop OF Manches-
to subscribe for the relief OF the Bulga-

"Come what may, and don't see any
which can endanger the position OF
England; but it seems impossible, il we

our good name, that we should Any

supposed that we throw the shield of

The Times to-day in loaded articles
argues that it is fallacy to say that Tur-
kew is an Independent member of the
European system. The right of neutral
powers to intervene in her affairs was
long ago established. We have lot NOR

The Pail Mail Gazette apprehends
that Servian reliance on Russian aid has
