LEVY PROPOSED IN GREECE'
LONDON, Friday Oct. 90, 1876
.snocio1 disnotch from Vienna says: /" 1t is gen.
.rollv considered certain here that the Car has
been overborne in the Lvadiau councils by the pre-
dispositions Of the Empress, the Czarowitzh' ana
PRINCE Gortchakotf all of whom favor the views OF
the National Tor war; party"
A Berlin telegram says The representatives Oh
the mediating Powers are actively negotiating Tor
an armstce until Dec. 81. Its acceptance is consul
cred probable The reported alliance or under
standing between Russia and Italy is demeu
from Trustworthy quarter"
RUMoRs OF A RUSSIAN INVASION.
The reports by telegraph not already TRANSMITTED
10 the United States may be summarized as follows
dispatch to The Times from Belgrade says 1t
was rumored here on Wednesday that 10000
Russian troops had already crossed the RIVER fIuth
the boundary between Moldayia and Bessaraoie.
The French, Italian, and Austrian cOnsuS-gencIaI
went to OrsOva to ascertain whether the ruHOr
was true, but as it has not been confirmed the
umor is probably false. 1t is also rumored at Bel
grade that Russia is about to submit to the Porte
six months ar1nisice, and the English proposition
as an ultimatum"
Reuter- dispatch from ConstantinOple says:
"Gen. Ignatleh. the Russian Enib ssador, will to-
dav present his credentials TO the Sultan. 1t is
believed that negotiations arc about to reopen
between the Porte and the ambassadors OF the
Powers Oh the basis of the English proposals"
ENGLAND NEUTRAL Al PRESENT.
The British Cabinet, at its meeting yesterday,
decided upon policy of abstentiou for the present
at least and in this policy they have the support Of
the press and the people. This removes from the
consideration of the chances Of the peace Of Europe
one Of the elements which in Wednesday, panic was
certainly reckoned upon to disturb it in case Russia
crossed the Danube. There is nothing in this mon-
ipgs news 10 relieve the uncertainty about Russias
intentions The London journals, edtonally, seem
inclined to abandon all hope Of the preservation of
peace between Russia and Turkey. The Berlin
newspapers, on the contrary, express the opinion
that all the Powers Of Europe, including England,
are equally interested in and responsible for Russias
actions in consequence of the failure Of their joint
efforts at Constautinope, and that it is unjust to
suspect Russia of following the dictates of selfin-
terest. The French papers agree that France viii
do her best to maintain peace, but will not take an
active part should the crisis end III war.
GERMANY SUPPORTS RUSSIA.
A Times dispatch f1Oa Vienna confirms the report
ofGermanys rejection of the proposed six months
armistice, and its acceptance by the other four
Powers The correspondent thinks that Germany
throws her influence with Russia in order TO force
the other Powers to agree upon a compromise which
Russia can accept. He secs in this prospect Of
peace but nevertheless, regards the situation as
most critical The report that 100000 Russian troops
were ready to pass through Roumania Is undoubted-
ly gross cX3ggeratiOn, but the correspondent has
authentic information that the three army corps OF
Kew Khar,ow and Odessa are under orders OF
mobilization, and there are other signs of prepare
ton in southwestern Russia. But there are indica-
tons on the other hand that the cvcntuaty against
Al. l.
upon as Immediately impending. The force which
these three Southwestern corps might put in the
field is estimated at 100000 men. a special dis
patch from Berlin to The Times says: " Tie Italian
design Of depriying Austria Of her sem-Italian dis
tricts is unanimously opposed IN Germany"
FIGHTING RENEWED IN sERyIA
special dispatch from Belgrade to The Standard
says: Serious fighting occurred near Saitschar on
Tuesday and Wednesday The Turks are trying TO
force their way to Paratclin whence their march TO
Belgrade would only be interrupted by the weak
Publications at ChupIia. Considerable anxiety pre-
walls here to the issue, especially as this move
nent seems to be made in concert with operations
On the Drina. The weather has suddenly changed
from tropical heat to heavy rain gales, and cold.
This fayOrs the Seryians." A special dispatch from
Vienna to The Daily Nec8 says: The Turks at
saitschar have repulsed the Seryians and driven
them to the plateau of Kopita, and it is said they
DOW intend marching on Paratchn'
