THE CONGRESS.
BERLIN, July 25
At Tuesdays sitting the French plen-
ipotentiaries, who have been intrusted
with remodeling the Russian amend
ments which England refused to accept
on Monday, reintroduced them in a
a form acceptable to all parties. Ac-
cording to the French proposal the
Porte will have full right to occupy the
line between Bulgaria and Roumelia
with whatever number of troops it
deems necessary, but the troops must
be exclusively regulars and must in no
case be cantoned amongst the inhabi-
tants or in the interior. The maintenance
of order in Roumelia will be entrusted to
a corps of gend' armeriee. 1t was like
wise agreed, on proposal of the French
plenipotentiaries, that the inhabitants
of Bulgaria and Roumelia shall enjoy
complete civil and religious liberty. 1t
was decided on the proposal of England
and Austria that no change be made in
the existing commercial legislation
without the consent of the powers
Russian occupation is to last nine
months, after which three months will
be allowed for withdrawal of troops.
The opinion is gaining ground that the
labors of the principal plenipotentiaries
can be concluded by the 10th of July.
BERLIN, June 26.
At the sitting of the congress to-day
Prince Gortschakoff was present. 1t is
believed the congress discussed the
southern boundary of Roumelia and the
appointment of Governor for that
province, who is to be Christian and
appointed by the Porte with the ap-
proval of the powers. England, Aus
tria and Russia being generally agreed
concerning the questions of Bessarabia,
Servia, Montenegro, Epirus and Thes-
sally, no difficulty is expected on those
points.
The Berlin Provincial Correspond
ence confirms the reports that the
question of the form of the new States,
especially of Bulgaria, is now substan-
tally arranged, and adds that the real
ly peaceful intentions which rendered
the solution of this problem possible
are guarantee for speedy and final
conclusion of peace.
BERLIN, juno q.
At Wednesdays sitting Prince Gort-
schakoff, who had to be carried to the
council room, and who spoke with an
effort in trembling voice, but with an
expression ofresolution, said the remarks
| he was about to make were prompt
ed by love of truth and of his country.
His colleagues had granted concessions
in the name of Russia far surprising
what she thought of making. He was
far too well aware of the feelings which
actuated his colleagues to raise objec-
tions to the concessions they deemed il
their duty to make. He merely wished
to state that Russia made those sacri-
fees from desire for peace, and that
she had no narrow or selfish aim.
Lord Beaconsfield expressed admira-
ton at Prince Gortschakoff' senti.
ments. He acknowledged in the name
of the congress that desire for peace
actuated Russia, and hoped the same
sentiment would continue. 1t is though
this is Prince Gortschakoff's last ap
pearance at the congress.
LONDON, June 80
A Berlin correspondent reports tina
on the opening of the sitting Frida,
Count Andrassy read a memorandum
setting forth the alarm and eXpens
caused to Austria by the continued dis
turbances in Bosnia. He did not asl
for annexation, he only begged con
gress to find some solution. Lor,
Salisbury then proposed that Austri
be charged to occupy both Bosnia an
Herzegovina, and all the plenipotenti
aries assented thereto except the Turk
ish, who read memorandum declaring
that Turkey could not possibly consent
She was only bound by the treaty c
: San Stefano, the limits of which weT

key herself was able to protect Bosni1

England could not but adhere to Lor
. Salisbury's proposal. He reminded tn
Turks that they had previously bee
