tense at the palace. For several days past the
Sultan has refused to listen to any objections
made by his minister to the policy which he has

di0ns correspondent at Gravasa telegraphed
at O'Clock Sunday evening as follows: Yester-
day the Prince OF Montenegro received an OFF,
cial intjmation from the Porte that an advance

OF war. The Prince of Montenegro consequently
has telegraphed TO Admiral Seymour that he is

troops OF the powers, to attack the Albanians
reinforced, as they are by Turkish regulars and
artillery.
The POrte's Action Declaration of
War.

erS can never submit to disburse the fleet at the
mere fiat OF the Sultan.

article says: "Though France may possibly not
take part in the bombardment OF the Turkish
