WAR NOTES.

HOBART PASHA is instructed to lombard
the Greek ports unless the Greek troops
are recalled
A VIENNA correspondent says the con.
ference will probably assemble at the end of
February or the beginning of March. Count
Andrassy wishes it to assemble on the Goth
inst, but this is hardly possible, unless
Russia answers Immediately. The powers
chiefly interested, except, of course, Russia,
intend to insist on the treaty of Paris being
taken as the basis of negotiations.
THE closing action of the war took place
on the lst inst, the Servians having stormed
and taken Narna Pass with about 1900
prisoners, and great quantity of stores.
THE Russians killed and wounded up to
January 30th were nearly 10000 men.
The czar, on the Sd inst, after an inspec-
ion, addressed the troops as follows: IL
congratulate You upon the armistice, the
satisfactory conditions of which are due to
our brave troops, who proved that for them
nothing is impossible of accomplishment.
We are still, however, far from the end, and
must continue to hold ourselves prepared
until we obtain u durable peace worthy of
Russia"
THE peace pre.iminaries and armistice
were signed at Adrianople on the 3lst ult.,
and an order suspending hostilities was
transmitted to the armies in the field. The
following are the conditions of the protocol ::
The erection of Bulgaria into principality;
a war indemnity, or territory in compensa-
ton the independence of Roumania, Servia
and Montenegro, with an increase of terri
tory for each; reforms in Bosnia and Herze-
govinia; an ulterior understanding between
the sultan and the czar regarding the Darda-
nelles; the evacuation of the DanubiaA
fortresses and Erzeroum.
A VIENNA dispatch says it is already de.
cided, in principle, that, after signing the
srmistice, the conference will meet in Wen
ma. Prince Gortschakoff has given notice
of Russia's assent thereto to the Austrian
ambassador.
A TELEGRAM from Belgrade says the feel.
ing excited by the Russian peace condi.
tons is so intense that it appears to be de-
cided that Servia shall disregard them, and
continue the war until she holds the whole
of old Servia.

reached Adrianople by railway, from Her
manli, and took up his quarters in the gov.
ernor's palace. The Russisn vanguard oc

sian newspapers, that typhus prevails among
the Russian troops in the Caucasus ant
Armenia to such an extent that it might b,

EIGHT thousand refugees arrived at Con
stantinople, on the 2Sth. 1t is impossible
for all to find shelter. Many are huddled il
open sheds, knee deep in the mud ant

ABERLIN correspondent hears from trust
worthy sources that France has contden

ground as Germany in relation to the cas-,

foreign complications.
