RUN[ORS OF WARS.

The London Nears of the 10th pub
fishes a series of sensational dispatches
from Constantinople via Syra to the
effect that the Sultan has completely lost
his head; that change of SOY
ereign, and possibly of dynasty, is i'm
minent; that the party which wants to
make Midhat Pasha Dictator is the
strongest; that the Turkish army shows
a mutinous spirit, and that great ex-
element exists in Stamboul The
Times dispatch from St. Petersburg says
it is believed Russia will set more i'm
portance on the guarantees for the
state of things to be established
by the congress than on the question of
the frontiers. The correspondents OF
the Times at st. Petersburg and Vienna
both report a very sanguine Feeling as
to the peaceful result of the congress.
GOING TO THE CONGRESS.
st. Petersburg advices under date Of
June Sth, say Count Schouvaloff, Rus
sian ambassador to London, and Prince
Doubril, Russian ambassador to Berlin,
who are to attend the Berlin congress,
and Chaker Pasha, Turkish ambassa-
dor to ST. Petersburg, have arrived.
Count Schouvaloff and Prince Oubril
had an audience with the emperor to-
day, and start for Berlin Sunday. 1t is
still hoped Gortschakoff will be able to
attend the congress.
GOING FOR SOCIALISTS.
The Berlin National Gazette, the organ
of the liberals, in its issue of June Sth,
says: If the government comes be-

powers to protect the dynasty and coun-
try, we are convinced such powers will
be readily granted by a majority of the
reichstag, the government of course &C
cepting the responsibility of such pow

TALK OF A GERMAN REPUBLIC.
A special from London, of the 9TH,
says that private letters received from
Berlin speak of the public feeling as be-
ing profoundly disturbed. No one ven
lures to speak openly in extenuation of
Nobeling's crime, but in private men
say the country is now ripe for repub-
lie. France, now under republic rule
for seven years, is prosperous, rich and
happy. Germany, under the empire,
is poor, depressed and wretched; worse
still, the alliance between the czar and
the emperor is dangerous. Germany
may find herself dragged into war
with which she has no concern; she is
kept with her hand upon her sword,
and her people, many of whom find it
difficult to get her bread to eat. are
compelled to maintain an immense
army. The popularity of the crown

with that of the emperor. Should the
latter die, republican revolution might
be attempted.
AFFAIRS IN GERMANY.
Berlin advices under date of the 9TH
inst, say that it is rumored that the Ber-
lin criminal court received several let
tiers threatening the assassination of all
the sovereigns if Modelling is harsbly
treated. The number of arrests in
Prussia for disloyal utterances is increas-

A professed accomplice of Modelling
