The Times Berlin correspondent gives
the same account Of the CEas's letter to
the Emperor OF Austria as that given by
its Paris correspondent. He also says
the Car proposes that Servia shall retain
her present Independence under Russia.

supported by Christian soldiers, having no
connection with the Porte except 6nan-

The Porte has informed It's representa-.

A Paris correspondent Of the Times,
commenting on the Cars letter, says, that

consequences OF occupation, will impose
conditions on Turkey that they would not
have imposed fortnight ago.
