The Complications in the East.
PARIS, May Silt is reported that Lord
Derby notified the Turkish ambassador
that England is prepared to accept the pro-
gramme set forth.
*The Montenegrin Minister of War in
forms Baron Rodich that an offensive and
defensive alliance has been concluded be-
tween Servls and Koumsnia, Montenegro
and Greece, and intimated that Thessaly
and Crete would rise and support the move
ment in Northern Turkey. Altogether the
situation lie regarded az drawing to q crisis.
The Porte had declared no srmistice on
the Berlin proposition, and the insurgent
leaders declared they would fight until
their independence was achieved The Off
cial Russian Invalides seconded these move
ments by declaring Englsnd's refusal to act
with the Northern powers can not but bring
difficulties. Murad is pledged to constitu-
tional government.
The French government urges the new
Turkish government to hasten pacific 80
luton. The Due de Cazes pointed out to
the Turkish government that Murad was
entirely free from embarrassing engage
ments, and bis succession would naturally
induce suspension of hoetilities; that an
armistice was in no way inconsistent with
the dignity of the government. The Porte
was urged to take advantage of the oppor
tunity, and immediately enter upon nego
tiations with the insurgents, and make con-
cessions equitable and necessary, and there
by avoid making them under pressure of the
powers.
The Russian telegraph agency states the
Sutan's deposition is received as an Oppor-
tune occasion for a peaceful settlement,
which is desired by all.
