Foreign News.

By the mail steamer we have news from San
Francisco to ODD inst. and from all places in tele-
prapbic communication with that city to cores
bonding dates. The following is a condensed
summary of the news with extracts from some
of the more important kilograms.
Eastern Europe.
The cloud which had been gathering in the
East aud which seemed to be charged with war
has gradually cleared off. The Porte has given
way so far as TO give the European Powers an ex-
cuse for Withdrawing from the Naval Demonstra-
ton which bad undoubtedly become a source of
embarrassment to them. Dulcigno is to be sur
rendered Internationally. Nevertheless no sooner
had the combined feet dispersed than the Sultan
tried to make conditions. The following are the
latest kilograms on the subject.
Constantinople, Oct. 2l.-The articles of the
convention which Ria Pasha instructed the
Turkish Commissioner at Rjeka to propose in re-
gard to the surrender of Dulcigno, are as follows:
Montenegro to assume a portion Of the Turkish
debt corresponding to the coded territory liberty
OF emigration for the inhabitants maintenance
of the Turkish guaranty for the property of the
Ottoman Government maintenance of the Turk
ish flag aboard trading vessels belonging to Dull
cigno, and the maintenance Of the Statu quo east
OF Lake Scutari. 1t is untrue that Ria Pasha
has proposed that there shall be an interval Of

and its occupation by the Montenegrins.
Vienna, Oct. 22.-It is reported that, in view
OF the difficulties raised by the Porte, Austria,
France and Italy have instructed their Embassa-
doris at Constantinople to remind the Sultan of
his promise, which was that the surrender of
DulcignO should be unconditional.
The Turks have dropped two conditions object
ed to by the Montenegrins, owing TO the efforts
of the ambassadors at Constantinople.
Prince Nikita has invited all the leading man
of Montenegro to a council of war in Cettinie
Saturday.
There can be no doubt that before the Porte
showed signs OF yielding Mr.. Gladstone was in
favor Of taking sharp and decisive action, even to
the extent of deposing the Sultan who on his
own part had declared that he would rather abdi-
cate than give way. France appears to have
taken the lead in opposinglthese warlike PROPOSE
tons and the effort of the French and German
Ambassadors were the cause of the Porte's re-
treat from the position taken up at the beginning
of the month.
In Greece the Chambers were opened by the
King on the 2lst ult. His speech promised re-
forms in the new territories acquired by Greece.
The first result of the meeting of the Greek Par
Lament was the overthrow of the Ministry, but
we find no intimation of the cause of their de-
defeat. The populaee are in a mood for war with
Turkey on the frontier question even without
foreign aid. In Servia too there has been a Minis
terial crisis, q new government has been formed of
whom it seems likely Marinowitch will be one, as
he has been summoned to Belgrade from Paris
where he was Ambassador.
Three of the murderers of DR.. Parsons, the
American Missionary, have been tried and SEN
fenced, one to death, two to penal servitude.
France.
The agitation caused by the enforcement of the
DEGREES against the religious Orders has by no
means abated. The new Ministry appears to be
endeavoring to carry out the law promptly, but
with some discretion. Their temporizing does
not suit the extreme party, and at last advices,
NJ. Gambetta, was said to be plotting the over
throw of a Ministry which was generally sup
posed to be one of his own creating. Meanwhile,
the sensation caused by the enforcement of the
DEGREES is increasing throughout the country.
When the Carmelite and Barnabite establish
ments were closed, the Bishop of Montpelier ex-
communicated the Project, and is in turn threat
ened with q prosecution for his action. Also, he
and the Bishop of Valence are to be summoned
before the correctional police for certain express
sions used in their letters to the Under Secretary
of the Interior, which are declared to be
'' reasonable attacks - on the Government. At
Rennes the police commissioners resigned in a
body, rather than enforce the DEGREES. When the
Carmelites were expelled there, it was found
necessary to summons the gems d'armes and a
battalion OF infantry to maintain order. Six
German Franciscans have been expelled from
France, and the English Passionists in Paris are
threatened with the same fate. The chapel of
the latter is the only place where Catholics of
English speaking nations can hear discourses IN
their own language.
which adopted a resolution summoning Prince
Jerome to renounce bis claims 20 the throne in
favor of Prince Victor, requested an audience
with the Prince. He replied in a letter that he
considered it useless to receive them, as he was
unaccustomed to submit TO interrogations, or to
e~xculpate himself from false accusations. He
preferred to leave them free to act according to
their own wishes, merely expressing pity for the
honest men whom they led.
Much sensation was caused by the Duke de
Charities, at a military dinner at Evreux, propos-
sing a toast to France and her Government, and
to the President of the Republic. The Legi-
timists consider that this indicates the accept
ance by him of the Republic. The Duke, who
is a grandson of Louis PHILIPPE, in his speech
said, that in the United States, where he had

give such a loyal toast before all others.
The GERMAN EMPIRE.-It is said that the
Prussian Finance Minister has decided on the
complete revision of the tariff. Higher produc-
tive duties will be levied on imported tallow,
grain and coal. The duties on cotton and cotton
goods will be completely revised.
The Wesfer Zetung says that at an early
meeting OF the Bundesrath a representative of
Hamburg will propose the proclamation of a
state of siege there. Prussia will make a similar
proposal in regard to Altoona, Ottensen and
Wandsbeck but Saxony will decline, for the
present at least, to take any repressive measure
in regard to Leipsic.
1t is settled that the Prussian Parliament will
meet November 28th for the consideration of
Bismarck g economical scheme.
a BIG LAwsUIT.-A dispatch from Dallas says
PIT. Barnum has brought suit against the Texas
Central Railroad for 100000 damages, for fail
ure of contract to put his company through on
