foreign Office to-hght: In diplomatic circles
no Importance is attached TO the decision OF

THE CZAR'S LETTER.
A Paris dispatch says that information from
Vienna authorizes the statement that the OBJ
ect of the czar's autograph letter to Emperor
Francis Joseph is TO induce Austria 10 enter
into common action In the interest OF
peace.
THE PORTE'S REPLY TO THE POWERS.
The substance of the Porte's reply to the
powers has already reached the French gov
ernment. IL is said 10 be OF nature TO ac-
celerate q pacific solution OF the eastern
question. The Porte only makes some reser-
vstions relative TO reforms te be accomplish
ed, and expressed wish that the provinces
mated by name. The powers, on the other
hand, desire 10 designate Bosnia, Bulgaria
and Herzegovina by name.
WARLIKE ADDRESS TO TIE CZAR.
A Berlin special to the 7ymes quotes the
very warlike address to the car recently
voted by the town council OF .Nichoiaef,
which, the correspondent says, comedies witp
the intimatlOns that unless an extended
may force the czar to war.
CALL FOR THE ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
Robert Lowe publishes letter this morning
on the eastern question. He insists upon the
necessity of calling parliament together to de-
termine whether the present policy OF the
ministry is to be pursued.
ENGLISH CRITICISM OF RUSSIA.
The Times, in leading article, says: "The
czar is doubtless anxious TO keep the contest
within Its present limits, and he is believed to
civ ~ {
Francis Joseph in an autograph letter, which
is exciting the curiosity of the continent, but
there is grave reason to fear that If hostiitties
are not stopped Immediately the healing IN
nuences Of diplomacy will be bsf1ed. A
prominent st. Petersburg paper is allowed to
say Russia is resolutely and trrevocably de-
termined to finish the eastern question. The
car thanks the town council OF Nlcholaetf
for their warlike address, and no attempt Is
made to prevent the rush Of soldiers TO Sery a.
In fact the Russian people are introducing
the startling novelty of applying the principle
of limited liability 10 war. Russia Will ipcur
a heavy responsibility II she does not endeaVor
10 stop the present excitement"
MILAN To BE KING-ARRIVAL OF Co.'S
SACKS.
1t is said that Prince Milan will leave for
Paratchin early next week. This is regarded
as proof of the improbs bility of any peace
arrsI gements being concluded. 1t is said to
be highly probable that Prince Milan will be
crowned king as soon as he is removed from
restraint at Belgrade. Three hundred and
sixty Cossacks aTIi ed IN Belg ;sde Friday two
thousand more are expected Saturday and six
hundred Sunday.
sERVIA INCURS TIE DISPLEASURE OF
ENGLAND AND ITALY.
There was a serious dispute yesterday be-
tween Prince Milan aud Ristic, the Servian
minister of foreign affairs. Ristic insisted on
the conclusion of the armistice, but the prince
would not listen to the proposition. Ulti-
mately the war party prevailed and Rtstic
rendered his resignation, which the prince
declined, aud 1t y as with difficulty that Ris-
tic was prevailed upon to remair in Office.
England and Italy are greatly irated at Ser
via fer rejecting an aImistice. The British
representative, speaking in behalf of Earl
Derby, said Servia must no longer rely on
England for sympathles which she no longer
deserved.
CHANGES IN COMMAND.
BELGRADE, September 30-The re.
ported resumption of fighting on the Moravia
river yesterday is incorrect. General RomarOf

army OF MOravia, and returned TO Russia.

pics has been Ieappointed commander OF the
army OF Servia. Leschj amin will hold a sub
