The Eastern War.
LONDON, August 11.-The SerYian core
spondents OF the Ne,5s, Standard, and
Times note the fact that many Servians are
coming to the rear slightly wounded in the
hand and forearm. The correspondents be-
lieve they shoot themselves to avoid battle.
A dispatch to the Daily NeUs from Bel
grade says that Colonel Antitch retreated
from Yavor to Ivanotzal without fighting.
No tidings have been received of the brig
ade which pushed forward to Sierritza. La
vanitza was the original base OF General
Zach's supplies. There is good military
road thence to Karnovac, which is ut the
disposal OF the Turks If Iyanotzal is also
abandoned.
The Times'S Belgrade dispatch says Col
onel Antitch's retreat to IyanotZal means q
much further retreat IyanotZal is sur
rounded by high hills, atording the Turks
excellent offensive positions. In fact, the
Seryian war is about to assume much less
ambitious character than when first under
taken, and is about to resolve itself into q
guerrilla affair.

LONDON, August 11.-Among the papers
submitted to the House of Commons was q
dispatch from Lord Derby to the British
Ambassador at Constantinople on the 9th in
slant, which says: 1t appears to her Ma
iesty's Government that the capture Of
Saitschar may lead to the occupation OF a
considerable part OF Servia by the Turks,
therefore 1 instruct you to urge strongly on
the Porte that it is absolutely necessary that
the troops should be kept under control !;
that the unarmed population be spared, and
that repetition Of the outrage in Bulgaria
be avoided. You will point out that re-
newal of such outrages would prove more
disastrous to the Porte than the loss OF Q
battle. The indignation of Europe would
be uncomfortable, and interference in a
sense hostile to Turkey would inevitably
follow.
