.. THE PoRTE's REPLY.
The Paris correspondent OF the Times
telegraphs the following: The POrte's
first reply to the Powers is dead letter.
The Porte's second reply is now officially
known. This reply has been communi.
catedto Ministers. Its important points
are regarding the armistice and adminiS-
tration Of Christian provinces. The
Porte refuses to accept the terms Of the
armistice because it cannot recognize
Servia as a belligerent, but consents to
a suspension OF hostilitieS, its duration
not to be fixed, provided the Servian
army shall not meanwhile be reinforced
by foreigners. As to the second point
the Porte accepts the proposals Of the
Powers in principle but proposes to
give all its provinces the same liberties
without distinction. The Porte considers
its absolutely ruinous to introduce diff
ferent treatment into the Provinces. 1t
is willing to place the reforms under the
collective guarantee Of Europe. In short,
the Porte says Either you wish !
should take any place among the civilized
States, and are willing to consolidate me
by giving all my subjects the same laws,
privileges and security, or you presist in
exaggeratting division and antagonism,
because You only wish to delay, not pre-
vent, my destruction. II the latter is the
case, 7 prefer struggle now at the risk
Of perishing, rather than resign myself
to a slower but ienvitable death.
