GENERAL FOREIGN DISPATCHES.

Tuesday last at Constantinople with Mr..
Israel Washburn, of the Roberts College, an
American institution on the Bosphorus, is
published to-day in connection with the
news respecting the insurrection in eastern
RoumeEa, and shows singular spathy on
the part of the foreign representatives in
PhiHppopolis in not notifying their respect
i've governments of the mutterings con-
stantly heard Of their approaching rising.
Mr.. Wsshburn, who has Just returned
from two months tour of Bulgaria and
Roumelia, says: 81 heard more talk Of q
Union among the people than did in Bul
garis. The question was forced upon the
Roumelians by increasing material interests
and the burden Of supporting two govern
ments which considerably oppressed the
people. Besides industries we're injured in
Romelia aud sometimes totally destroyed
by custom houses artifcislly dividing the
frontier between Roumelis and Bulgaria
and the Portes preventing free trade be.
tween the two States. If the present state
of fairs continues it will enevitable make
trouble in Europe Russia is losing her in
huence in the Balkan States and, although
the Bulgarians are grateful to Russia for
gaining them independence they have since
bitterly resented several attempts made BY
Russia to control the administration. |
think Bulgarians have perfect genius tor
administration. While allowed their inde
pt tndence the Bulgsrians would willingly
ally themselves with Russia, but would
ally with Austria against Russia rather
than lose their indep, ndence. The Bul-
garians are steadily at work building roads
and railways and making other public i'm
provements. 1t is considered strange IN
view of the fact that Mr.. Wsshburn appears

tit of people of eastern Roumelis after q
two months trip, that some diplomatists sp'
peared surprise at the news OF the Insured,
