Yesterday, says: To-day being the ami
versary OF the accession OF Prince Milan 10
the throne. there was parade OF the regu-
lar troops and militia at the Cathedral. The
metropolitan delivered political discourse.

far distant when Servia would be called
upon to fulfil her political mission. The
proclamation OF independence has been
postponed in consequence OF circumstances
