NEw ToaE, September 5yh.-A London
cab.egram says Prince Alexander letter
TO the CZer has C0uside ably chilled English
sgrpathiys Hi;h him or N least EagIish
admiration Of his characic7. The Terry
journals G.r a,uco his seIyil!ty AID crinS-
Ing words TIE Liberals describe the letter
as an ingenioJs surrender Of his rights and
dignity IS & sovereign. Submissive almost
to tie verge of hulniHGtiou,H as The Times
declares. They make little allowance for
the differences in manners between West
cn Europe ana the semi Oriental audience,
whom tie Prince had in mind, his own
people. Prince Alexander, himself Ger
man, approached the Gar as 9 Bulgarian
and as Russians would have approached
him. 1t was plain, moreover, before he
wrote such an appeal, that Prince Alexan-
der had discovered that he could count on
no outside support. Austria will not stir
in opposition 10 Germany. Prince Bis
lnarcl will not risk fresh Russian alliances
for half dozen Bulgariss. England, which
directly encouraged the Princes return, has
nothing bat moral support to offer. His
last chance was to conCiliate the Gar, who
proves irrecOncilabie. Whatever may be
thought of the Princes letter, the Cars
answer is piece of bitter brutality which
amazes Europe.
SOFIA, September 5th.-Prince Alexander
made an address al the reception given by
him to the officers of the army in which he
made the following statement: "The inde-
pendence Of Bulgaria is threatened and the
circumstances are such that | had better

occupy it. | will, however, consult with
my superior officers and constitute q
regency, which viii cndeavor to protect the
i,,+a 1f ofTio II, 7
on the army" Prince Alexander has i'm
parted his intention Of abdicatiug to The
German and Russian Consuls. A grand
council, among the members OF which are
NJ. StsmbulOff and Karayeloff. is being held
to arrange for the regency. The Prince viii
probably leave within the next two days.
The officers of the army are greatly ex-
cited, and talk of OBTAINING the Prince
They have resolved in any case to refuse to

The city is tranquil.

1t is believed that Russia will give the

LONDON. September 5,h. = Dispatches
rom Sofia say the Russian party there,
headed by the Russian Consulate, show
signs OF great activity and are preparing an
address to The Gar.
1t is expected Prince Alexander will go
to Servia, thence TO Darms!adt and then to
England NJ. P0pfoff and numerous Bull
garian officers have decided to accompany
him.
New YoHK, September 6th-A. M.-The
HerGtfS Sofia special says Tomorrow the
Prince will resign the sovereign power,
either into the hands of Council or
Regency, selected to represent all the par
ties, or by a proclamation, as the Sobranje
can only be convened in three weeks. Dill
gent inquiry al the Russian, English and
other Legations satisfies me that the Prince
will leave the country in the next lew
days, but will not ab1icate in express
terms, as showing that he laid his
crown at The feet of the Gar. who refused
to receive it, and that he would not resign
it into any other hands. The Prince wild
leave the power in tie hands Of Council
or Regency consisting of Karendoff, StsIn-
bouloff and Zankoif, who will convene, to
elect the Princes successor, not the So
branje of 100 members, but great Ma
tional Assembly Of 400, who will proceed
to elect Prince Frederick of Oldenburg
