ENGLAND.-It is generally believed that Dis
raeli has taken the mana cement of foreign al
playing a secondary part. Early next weel
there will be debate in the Commons on tn,
Eastern question. the Liberals opposing Dis
4 raeli's policy, which, they claim, is rapid.
Mr.. Smyth's bill, closing Irish public housel
on Sunday. passed it's second reading without
division. The Government had assented to the
bill, but W i'll propose amendments.-
from the IN manufacturing and mining centres
continue bnrdened with complaints of bust
+ ness depression. Employers are taking meas
uree in many places to reduce wages or extend
warking hours. The workingmen in some dis
4 to- "a are preparing to resist. 1t is feared q
great strike Mill result. 60 900 operatives will
be affected.
FRANcE.-The Chamber of Deputies has
adopted the committee's Recommendations rel
alive to the appointment of Mayors. These
Recommendations are, that until the organic
municipal law is established, the Municipal
Councils shall elect Mayors and Deputy May
ors from among their own numbers, by ballot,
Except in certain special classes. The govern
tment's msjorities on the several amendments
we're very large. showing that the ministers
bad the full confidence of the Chamber.
PERU.-Peruvian advces state that revo-
S1ution was attempted at Cozeo on June 9, but
was suppressed with the loss of thirty lives,
"A similar outbreak was to have been made at
Pura, but was forestalled. 1t is supposed these
attempts were made in the interest of Pierola
ST. DoMINGo.-The American steamer Ty bee
having the Dominican Ex-Minister for War,
Vil1eneuve, on board was attacked by a COM
papy of soldiers under orders from the Cover
nor on the Sth inst. Notwithstanding the
United States Consul placed the American flag
ACROSS the gapgway, and in the name of the
United States protested sGair st the outrage,
the soldiers forcibly took Villeneuve away. 1t
is said the soldiers trampled the American flag
under foot and irsulted the officers of the YES
Sci and the Consul.
TURKEY.-From the mass of contradictory
Kilograms received during the week it is next
to impossible to gain any definite idea of the
Operations Of the contendiDg forces. There is
20 doubt, however, that there has been large
humber of minor con fiiets in which the proper
'fion of losses to the number engaged on either
eide has been very heavy, both parties having
apparently decided to give no quarter. So far
&he advantages appear to be with the Serviaus,
Fho have driven the Turks from the frontier
pnd whose principal army, under TcheruayOf,
occupies q commanding strategical position.
10 is thought that the junction of the Servian
Asmy with that of Montenegro, if it should be
) Elected, will be the commencement of series
OF decisive actions. The Seryiaps are organ
sziDg guerrilla bands.
