Notes from Abroad.
Dispatches from General Tchernayeff to
Prince Milan report that his army is per.
fectly recognized and ready to assume the
offensive. A cabinet council was held on
the 18th, Prince Milan presiding, at which
| it was resolved to continue the war to the
last extremity. The Prince of Montenegro,
understanding that the Turks intended to
| Invade Montenegro from Albania, has left
his brotherin-law, Vucovich, in command
of the troops in Herzegovina, and has
| marched with eight battalions into Mon
tenegro, when he will invade Albania,
where the Catholics promise him support.
Prince Milan has intrusted Colonel Des-
potoyics with the chief command of the in
surgents in Bosnia. He has defeated the
Turks at Peuovatz, setting fire to the town.
The Turks have left the Austrian frontier,
| and are concentrating in the vicinity of
| Idvno. A body of about five thousand
Turks have been defeated at Jankova. The
Turkish forces now in the vicinity of Albany
are estimated at four thousand men.
