the stock exchange rumOr before mentioned,
which the Times merely repeats without
comment, but it shows the current of opinion
here among the supporters of the ministry;
but there is strong division in public senti-

TO pursue.

The Times continues to advocate cO-Opera-

satisfactory reforms, and has a strong edi-
tOnal on the subject to-day, IN which it cites
the intervention IN SYRIA IN 1860 and of the
French occupation Of Lebanon by an aclui-
escence OF all the treaty powers TO show that
military interference in Bulgaria would have
an exact precedent, and as the Porte welded
to the European control of her internal affairs
then, she would do 80 in parallel case now
presented. The organs Of the liberal party
strongly oppose any action in a sense hostile
to Russia. The Stgadu1a, Telegraph and

can remain neutral. The Post. while strongly
