LONDON, Nov. ~, 1879.
A Paris despatch to the Daily Telegraph
says :-"Abd-el-Kader, the famous Algerian
chief, died recently ut Damascus at the age OF
seventy-two."
Private kilograms from Lima, dated October

Peruvian Ministry, but the kilograms make no
mention of any popular disturbances
The Berlin correspondent OF the Times, dis
cussing the French Ambassadors visit to
Varzin, says the possible resignation of M.
Waddington may have necessitated fresh
understanding between France and Germany.
A Paris despatch to the Standard reports that
M. Silvestre, an official candidate of the Fourtou-
Broglie Ministry, in the election at Vaucluse for
the Chamber OF Deputies, and M. Montague, ex-
sub-prefect, have been sentenced to five months
imprisonment each for bribery and corruption.
A Berlin despatch says:-.The French Am
bassador is visiting Prince Bismarck at Varzin.
No political Importance is attached to this cir
cumstance, however, as the invitation was
given some time ago, but the visit was post
poned until the present time in consequence of
Prince Bismarck's indispositon."
BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA.
there is great agitation in Bosnia and Herzego-
vina. where Mussumans and Christians make
common cause. Fears of a rising in the spring
prevent Austria from reducing the army of oc-
cupation.
TURKEYS POSSIBLE DIsMEMBERMENT.
The correspondent of the Times at CONSTANT
nople says there is grave reason to fear that the
reckless logged and passive resistance which
has hitherto baflcd all the efforts of the British
Ambassador to Turkey, will be prolonged, and
that the country will continue to sink gradually,
as it has been doing during the last twelve
months until some catastrophe produces rad
ical change in the situation. The Constantine
pie correspondent of the Standard telegraphs:--
1.-THE Minister of Finance has paid $3.50, 900 to
the army contractors; therefore there is no fear
of the supply of provisions for the soldiers run
ming short" The Vienna correspondent of the
Times says it is announced from Constantinople
that Midhat Pacha has defnitively withdrawn
his resignation
RUSSIA AND AUSTRIA.
A despatch from Vienna to the Times says:-
"The Czarewitch will come here before going
to Berlin. Circumstances lend unusual signif-
canoe to these visits. They are interpreted as
first step on the part of Russia toward sur
mounting the estrangement between herself
and the two central Empires of Europe an es
arrangement dating from the conclusion of the
preliminary Treaty of San Stcfano and culmi-
mating in the Austro-German understanding of
Vienna. No obstacle will be found here to
putting an end to this estrangement; but the
result, whatever it may be, cannot affect the
understanding between Germany and Austria"
NAVAL CHANGES AT HALIFAX.
At latest advices from Halifax it was ex-
pccted that the Northampton (iron-clad), the
new flagship for that station, would sail from
England last week for Bermuda to relieve the
flagship Bellerophon. The commander-in-chief
of the same station will be Vice Admiral Sir
Francis Leopold McClintock.
