PARIS, September 19.-The Porte is
disposed TO reduce its demands to war
indemnity: the occupation Of the two
Servian fortresses; recognition Of the
Porte by Prince Milan without formal
reinyesture at Constantinople, aud the
dismissal Of the present Servian Cabinet.
A private telegram from Vienna states
that the Ambassadors at ConStantinople
have opened negotiations for signature
Of the formal armistic for one month.

LONDON, September ia correspond
ent Of the Times at Vienna, in dispatch
to-day, comments as follows on the un-
favorable reception Of the Porte's reply
by all OF the Powers except England
"What seems to have been decisive with
most Of them was the attitude Of Russia.
Nowhere had the Portss answer pro-
duced more unfavorable impression
than at the Russian court, where it was
pronounced impudent. Before the Porte's
answer was given there had been unmis-
taxable symptoms Of agitation going on
in Russia, which was beginning to pro-
duce an effect in court likewise, and that
the danger Of divided opinion among
the Powers existed The sipposition
that the main object Of Marshal Man
teuflal's mission'to Warsaw was 10 coun-
teract the effect OF the national move
ment in Russia and to restrain
both the Car and the government
from taking an independent line Of &c.
ton, has every probability. In view Of
the state Of feeling in Russia the only
way Of averting the scheme among the
Powers was by inducing the Porte to
make.formally concession in regard to
an armistice. Consequently the Austrian
ambassador was informed that the com.
promise in regard to an armistice was
not deemed satisfactory, and he was in
structed to use all his influence to induce
the Porte to grant formally suspension
Of hostilities, which it had already grant
ed de facto. Russia, with whom, above
all, an active exchange Of ideas has been
made with regard to the conditions OF
peace proposed by England, seems rather
disposed after all 10 be well satisfied
with this general basis, and il ought not
to be impossible to frame a settlement
which might be accepted on all hands,
but it remains to be seen whether the
form in which the Turks have granted
suspension Of hostilities will be consider
ed satisfactory.

pondent says that the political situation
is serious. Russia, whose interest II is TO
have the war drag on, supports the war
party. The great Powers are pressing
The Porte to extend the truce for a
month. In this they are simply playing
the game for Russia, whose influence is
predominant.
The proclamation Of Milan as King is
denied; but a deputation is now on its
way to tender Milan the crown.
The Servian ministers continue to pro-
test against the violation Of the truce by
the Turks.
A telegram from Hendage reports that
the military authorities have arrested,
near San Sebastian, several persons who
took part in the Carlist war.
A Times special from Belgrade says the
Servian Minister Of War has left the city
to meet the deputation coming 10 tender
the Crown to Prince Milan and turn ii
back. Public opinion is divided on this
subject. Some persons attach inn
portance to it and greater number say
1t is not worthy Of serious at
tention. Among the few, however, are
persons who are in position to
turn this foolish business into trouble
some one. The probability Of an armis.
tice ending in peace is openly ridiculed.

"Kingdom Of Servia."
The Times Vienna correspondent lays
much stress on the assertion that the
Servian government has lost all control
over Tchernayeff, who is acting withoul
regard to the orders he has received from
Belgrade. He says nearly all OF the Rus
sian volunteers belong to the most ad-
vanced party in Russia, who care little
for Servia or Russia, except as means
for realization Of their panslavic and ad.
vanced social ideas. Seryia is complete.
ly in their hands. The powers may do all
they car. to stop the war with Turkey, and
even Servia may be anxious for peace,
but it is always in the power OF Tcherna.
yeff to prevent the arrangement.
Europe has a word TO all this, but
when she has to move the cause OF the
Russians in Servia becomes, up to cer-
tain point, the cause Of Russia. The
general conviction is that Russia would
not abandon them. r..-.
