Suieiman Pasha having spent Sunday
In ins nspecting the fortresses OF Rustchuk
and Yarna, has returned TO Ahmedli,
and has ordered all correspondents to
the rear. 1t is, therefore, believe that
he does, or did, contemplate another act
i've aggressive movement, but the news Of
PieVna's fall may cause him to fall back
towards Adrianopie. The release OF one
hundred and twenty thousand men un-
der Prince Charles and Grand Duke

division will be cut off o. forced to make
disastrous retreat through Elena Pass

vent any movements whatever. Even
| Montenegro is gaining considerable VIC
| tories from the Turks, aud the surren-
der Of AntiVari is hourly looked for, and
at Scutari the local Albanian autheri-
ties are thinking seriously OF asking the
intervention or mediation OF fItaly.
BRITISH PRESS OPINIONS.
Speaking OF the situation the London
Times says: "The Turks refused to ac-
cepI the condition on which Europe, III
clading ourselves, offered to continue
our full recognition OF their empire, and
Ihey must be left TO take the conse-
qusnces. These consequences must
sooner or later be the forfeiture OF their
authority, II not OF their territory In
Europe. No European power, and this
country least OF all, will interfere to
prevent that consequence"
The Telegraph demands that the Brit
ish feet shall at once move up to CALI
poll or BatOum.
The News does not consider that En-.
gland need Interfere in any WRy.
