FRANcE.-President MacMahon has pardoned
eighty.seven Communists. A letter accompan-
les the decree in which the President says !:
Measures for the suppression of insurreotion
being no further criminal prosecutions, except
in cases involving attempts upon life or liberty,
or in cases Of insurgent leaders, such special
cases will be referred to the Council of Minis-
ters before being Observation-Disclosures
Deputies Cassagnao and Mitchell have pre-
pared an amendment to Marcos proposal for
plices of the coup d'etat. The amendment pro-
vides that the 500, 600 citizens who sanctioned
the coup d'etat by their suffrsges be considered
Vailed on the Paris Bourse on the assh., found
ed on the belief that it would be impossible to
confine war between Turkey and ServiA to the
limits of the Ottoman Empire, and that q col
lision between Russia and Great Britain would
eventually result.
GERMANY.-Tbe Archbishop of Cologne was
deposed by the Government on the 2SSh.
GREECE.-Athens. june 29-severe ahooks of
an earthquake were experienced to-day at
houses were destroyed aud the remainder
threatened to collapse. The nhsbitants have
He'd.
ENGLAND.-On the Goth, in the House of
Lords, Lord Derby in answering q question
said undou bsedly affairs were critical in Servia,
In the sense that great military preparations
were making; the militia had been called out,
and everything prepared for the immediate
commencement of q campaign.-A vote of
the miners at Durham on the question of re-
duotion of wages shows 20, 600 for al bitration
and 16. 600 for strike.
TURKEY.-Wsr with servia seems on the
point of breaking out. Prince Milan having
copcen trated all his forces, 60 600 men, on the
frontier, left Belgrade at O'clock on the morn
ing of the 29th, to take command. The popu-
lace cheered him enthusiastically, which gives
color to the assertion that whatever his own
secret inclinstiops may be, his people want
war. All Montenegrins between the ages of II
expected that Montenegro will unite with Ser
via. Meanwhile the position of the Sultan is
being greatly weakened by the indeoision of
his government and the growing discomfort of
the Mahomedans and other of his subjects.-
'sciavic journals say that the Russian army
corps have concentrated on the Southern from
Bier.
Washington, June So.-Beyond some stray
shote there has been NO fighting between the |
Servians and Turks. Belgrade apprehe ends bonn |
parchment from Turkish gunboats. The Ser
T1ans are preparing to blockade the river Drins.
The Montenegrin troops are ready to move.
Public opinion at Cettipge, the capital of Mon
tenegro, is very warlike. Muhtar Pasba is
entrenched at Gatchoke with II 900 men. The
streets of Belgrade are plaoarded with Prince
|Milsn's manifesto. BulgarieDs have issned a
declaration Of Independence. The old Turkish
nolished amid artillery salutes.
MEx1co.-City of Merioo, june 16-The mil.
|itary situation remains unchanged, The pro,
nunciados are said to have about 5000 mem
badly armed and provisioned, at FlHxco and
Juan de Lonosplao, fifteen leagues apart.
The Government General, Alatorre, with
5000 we'll armed and equipped troops, is at
IApizaco, ready to march to either of these
places If they are attacked.
Alstorre expects reinforcements from Escobe-
DOS command at MstamorOs. After their ar
rival he will commence active and vigorous
operations against the pronunciados with o
part of his forces.
UNITED STATES.
Both parties in Congress have about agreed
that the dead lock on the appropriation bills
cannot be overcome in time to pass the bills By
midnight on the Goth, and unless q Joint reso-
luton extending the present appropriations is
passed by tonight (FridSy) at 10 o'clock, it is
very probable that the President will dlscon-
sinue, as he has threatened, the service in some
departments of Government.
Ihe House has seated Rainey, (colored Re
Pnbhcan) as member from South Carolina de-
cloing against the Democratic contestant.
