London, January 20. The Berlin cor!espon
dent of the Times says there are various reports
concerning the transportation to Siberia Of thu
Odessa merchant. whose name is Brodsky. tn,
incident is considered to be Of peculiar impor
lance, because of the rarity of such proceedings
in the reign of the present emperor. The trans
portation was decreed by political policy. There
was no semblance Of a trial. 1t is variously sur
missed that Brodsky, who is highly respected il
Odessa, spoke against the government in the towl
council, or sold arms to the Turks, (as has beer
sieged) or was accessory to publishing the recen
report in the export trade.
Germany.
A Reuter- telegram from Berlin says: "N'
Spanish circular has been received here replying
to the American circular regarding Cuba. So ta
the various powers have made no representation
to Spain. The American circular did not contain
any deliberations liable to affect friendly relation
between Spain and the L. S. Its mere acknowl

the L. S. TO take further steps. Consequently j
is not expected that the incident will lead to any

The Times publishes letter from Vienna con
tanng the following details in regard to natter
in the Northern Provinces Of Turkey;
In consequence of the Turkish operations oil
the Montenegren frontier, he Prince of MOntene
gro has summoned q war council OF senators ant
military oihcers, at which the following resolution
was offered:
Resolved, That it if tie concentration Of thu
Turkish force on the frontier, is to take such pro
portions a. TO really carry into effect the reported
plan of blockadng Montenegro on that side, i
will be considered 3 casus belli, and the Prince
should summon all Montegrins liable to duty ane
march into Herzegovina. That in the meantime

Montenegrins. The latter are highly dissatisfied
with what they consider the undecided and timi
