LONDON, July %. A dispatch from Berlin says
that in consequence of the dispatch of British
troops to Malta, regular campaign in opened by
the entire Russian press against Englsnd. Some
journals laugh at the insignificant force England
can spare for the Eastern war. Others fercely
declare odious England is fighting Russia even
now, seeing that the Egyptian troops are equip
ped with English money. while all agree in re-
gsrding English antagonism rs a matter of indif-
ference and not 10 be dreaded by Russia.
Bucharest despatch says the business of or
ganizing municipal governments in kalafat and
other towns held by the Russians south of the
Balkans 10 proceeding.
A correspondent at Tiernova, at the junction uf
Gallipoli, Phillipopois Adrianope railways,
writes July 10TH there has been a horrible massa-
ere of Bulgarians by the Bashi Bazouks at Yeni
Saghera. Not single soul would have escaped,
but for the arrest of the Turkish regulars.
The Bazouks, Circassians and irregulsrs treat
all the villages they pass the same wsy, burning,
ravishing and pillaging.
The Times Vienna correspondent has the fol-
lowing
"Sueman Pashas advanced guard of ten bat
tahons and two batteries have been defeated. los
ing ten guns and a considerable quantity of am
munition. Sulieman himself remains at Adrian
ople. In consequence of this reverse, the hopes
reposed in Su!ieman at Constantinople are dimin-
ished. 1t is feared the Russians, encouraged by
this success, will again begin marching rapidly on
Adllanople and southern Boumelia."
OF one hundred and fifty Bulgarian prisoners
recently brought to Constantinople fifteen were
Immediately shot.
correspondent telegrsphs that the English
fleet is not to enter the Bosphorus, because it Is
Galpoli and Dardanells forts. Peace thus be-
comes daily not only more probable, but sensibly
nearer.
A dispatch of sundry troops to the Mediterrsn-
can is not inconsistent with this conclusion, al
though Gortschakoff has not made a declaration
10 wnuId res rec VIII urka of nm h.
lie opinion throughout the continent is agreed
that the settleu snt must be made by Europe.
The Times Bucharest correspondent says it is
stated the Russians loss at Plevna included four
hundred prisoners and two standards.
II is believed the Russian force now preparing
against Plevna is overwhelming, and unless Os-
man Pasha retires he will pay dearly for his pre-
vious successes.
Austria and England, as the powers most i'm
mediately interested, must throw of reserve and
make their voices heard. When peace 10 under
discussion, England and Austria can then counsel
with all the more force because they remained
neutral during the struggle.
England ha. abandoned her intention of going
to Gsllipoli, and Austria has hitherto abstsined
from entering Bosnia. Austria and England,
however, to be listened to, must be ready to sup
port their demands.
Russia 10 aware better than anybody else that
nothing can be definitely concluded if opposed by
Austria and England Everything seems to show
tuat sue is ulsposeu u respect tuelT
bilities. Hence it is that rumors of peace are cir
culsted without being contradcted.
| To the other reports Of Austrian and British
| precautionary military measures, it is generally
| believed the other powers will proceed IN accord
| with Austria and England.
