THE PRINCES PROCLAMATION.
PH11L1PoPoL1s, September Fl .-PrinceAlex-
ander has issued a proclamation
ing that in accordance with the wishes OF the
entire populace ihe resumes the sovereignty
over the two provinces OF North and South
Bulgaria. Measures will be taken to pre-
serve peace and all who oppose the new
government will be severely punished.
The prince expresses the hope that the
people will defend the union at Il sacri.
flee. The proclamation which was received
here by telegraph, was read publicly amid
great enthusiasm. Prince Alexander IS ex-
pected here hourly. Perfect order prevails.
The populace was armed with lances. The
deposed Governor, Gabriel Pasha, is under
guard. He is well treated, in accordance
with his rank. The Turkish and Greek por'
lions of the inhabitants have thanked the
government here for having taken meas Tres
for their defense, and nave Offered their
services in resisting Turkish invasion.
VIVA WILL TURKEY DO?
Agents OF all the great Powers, s%ignatory
to the treaty of Berlin have sent dispatches
to their respective Governments approx
ing of the movement OF Friday last. 1t is
rumored at the various Consulates in this
city that the ambassadors at Co ashanti
nople have succeeded in dissuading the
Porte from sending Turkish troops to
Eastern Roumelia to regain possession OF
the country.
ST. PETERSBURG, September 20. - The
Russian press are jubiiant over the present
events in Eastern Roumelia, but seem sur
prised at the suddeness of the rising, and
express a belief that the affair was ar
ranged at the meeting OF the Emperors at
Kreemia and Kernevice.
CoNsTANTINoPLE. September 2O.-Council
OF ministers was held here to-day, pre-
sided over by the Sultan, at which it was
decided to appeal to the powers to main
tain the rights of the Porte in Roumelia.
Orders have been issued to collect an army
corps at Indianapolis.
PARIS, September 21.-The French Dip
tomatoes have it that the outbreak in
Roumelia will unite England and France.
In view OF the rising being an apparent
scheme for the partition OF Turkey, the
French newspapers urge that France
should act cautiously in dealing with the
matter, and await the declaration OF Lord
S%alisbury's policy.
Semi-official advises tend to confirm the
acted entirely independent Of nus.;.s in
the annexation OF Roumelia, and was i'm
PEELED only by Bulgarian public opinion.
1t is considered improbable that Turkey
will accept a %pecuniary compensation for
the loss OF Roumelia, because the Balkan
frontier is necessary to defend CONSTANT
nople. 1t is believed that the Porte has
resolved to fight in order to restore statu
quo, but the fact that the powers are de-
sirous OF peace diminishes the gravity of
the situation.
SoPIA, September 21. - Gabriel Pasha,
the deposed Governor of Roumelia is a
prisoner here. The National Assembly has
been summoned to meet on Wednesday,.
ALEXANDER's HAsTY ACTION.
VIENNA, September Plan inspired arti-
Gle In the Fremden BLatt states that the
unistic tendency of'the Bulgarians and Rou-
melians has repeatedly excited serious at
tention in political circles. The Powers,
the paper says, continue to cherish a desire
to respect and maintain the treaty. of
Berlin. The action of Prince Alexander or
Bulgaria in placing himself and his army at
the head OF the rising constitutes a grave
violation OF international law. 1t is a chal-
lenge to Turkey. Europe cannot for the
benefit OF a single Balkan state iudorse this
infraction OF treaty rights, entailing a de-
scription OF the balance OF power and the
political forces OF the Balkan
peninsula as fixed by the Berlin treaty, 1t
is premature to say what common action
will be taken by the Powers but it is GER
that the movement Will be kept in the
narrowest possible bounds.
