bera much more hopeful impression
prevails to-day. Satisfactory assurances
were received last night from st. Petersburg and
Berlin. Russia has renounced the idea of an exten-
sion OF Bulgaria TO Salonica and seems also inclined
to ranounce the Kavala boundary and to limit the
period Of military occupation OF Bulgaria, perhaps

The North German Gazette, OF Berlin, has trust
worthy letter from Vienna, which says, as the
amount OF the credit asked by Count Andrassy only
