respecting the pretended insurgent vic
tories in Herzegovina are false, there

Operating on the Mountains and In
Deserted Villages,
have not approached the positions where
the imperial troops are concentrated.
The reported capture OF Galatska, Bilek,
Slotsts and Nevesinje is pure invention.

Great Anxiety.
The Standards CoRstantinople cores
pondent telegraphs that the health of the
Sultan causes great anxiety. He has
never recovered from the shock caused
by the suicide OF Sultan A. dul Aziz, and
the murder OF Hussain Avin Pasha, the
minister of war. He is a mere wreck,
and utterly unfit for business. Some
have positively declared that symptoms
of softening of the brain have appeared.
He is in imminent danger. Personally l
believe his sbdication is very near, and
you may hear at any moment that his
brother reigns.
The Marquis of Conygham is dead.

Turkish force.
