The UltInatum to Tho Porto.


| LONDON, July 24.--Rcuter'5 telegram from
Paris says: dispatch from Vienna is pub
lished here purporling to give an account OF
the negotiations between tho powers on tho
Montcnegrin question. England, according
to the dispatch, proposed to Turkey to code
| Dulcigno or carry out the protocol of last
April. Tho porte declined to cedo Dulcigno,
and asked delay of three months 10 carry
out tho Turco-M Mortcncgrin convention. The
powers refused and insisted on the immediate
execution of the convention. While the negO-
tiations woro pondng, England, anticipating
tho refusal of tho porte, took the initiative in
otiecting an understanding between the
pcwers, aud mado verbal proposals to tho five
other cabinets for sonding to Turk ish waters
vessels from each power carrying troops for
land service. Austria accepted, but objected
TO sending troops for sembarkatiop, and de-.
manded that tho fleet only consist of
two or three vessels from each power.
Russia adhered to the proposals without
reservation. Tho other powers made res
ervation of points of detail, but on the
whole u complete understanding was cs.
tabishod on the cXDedienoy OF II naval denon-
| stratiou. The negotiations on tho Montene.
rim question are perfectly distinct from those
| in re !ard TO the Turco.Greek frontier The
! latter negotiations will enter moro active
phase when the porto has replied to tile col
lecLiye note. II the reply bo negative, it is
| considered probable that tho naval dom
! onstration will aim at the settlement
of tho Greek as well as the SIontene-
grin question. Tho ambassadors at Con-
stantinople are making great efforts TO in
dnce the porte to Immediately acccde TO the
demands of the powers, but tho porto is little
disposed TO comply. The porte has made con.
ildential overtures TO several powers, moro
| ILL., I..1.. Il,
the object being to prevent accord among the
powers, aud although this policy has not bad
tho desired result, IL Is feared that the porte
still Cherishes tho hope of succeeding and thus
continues in an unyielding spirit.

Don Carlos Collar OF the Golden Fleece.
MILAN, July 23--The court of assiaes In this
city has acquitted General Doet of the charge
preferred against him by Don Carlos, tho
Spanish platender, of stealing his collar of
tho Golden Fleece,
PARIS, July 23,--rho acquttal of General
Doct al Milan will produce painful impres.
sion on the legltimists There being no dispute
as TO the sale OF the diamonds tho only ques.
tion was whether the salO was with or with.
out tho sanction Of Don Carlos, aud the jury
accepted the defendants version that the
theft was simulated In order to disguise ncces.
sity. This version. however, was esbomtoly
rCluted In tho indictment drawn up by tho
ItallaD authority, who clearly had no reason
for nyOrlng a bourbon prince. There seems
10 be a possibility that Tho jury was swayed
by political prejudices, for tho defendants
counsel denounced Don Carlos rs tho head of
party which had always done its utmost TO
suppress Italy.
