Rustchuck, whose official presence at my
reception showed the Bulgarians that
Russia did not approve of the revolutionary
act directed at my person. | also thaEk
your Imperial Majesty for dispatching
Prince Dolgorouki as Envoy Extraordinary
to Bulgaria. My first act on assuming
power is to assure your Majesty of my firm
intention to make every sacrifice TO for
ward your Maiesty's magnanimous inten-
ton to extricate Bulgaria from the grave
crisis through which she is passing. l beg
of your Majesty that you will authorize
Prince Dolgorouki to place himself in di-
rect communication with myself as speedily
as possible. shall be happy to give your

votion TO your august person. Monarchial
principle compels me to restore the legality
of my crown to Bulgaria and Roumelia.
Russia having given me my crown ii is
into the hands of Russias sovereign | am
| ready to surrender it."
The Car replied TO Alexander as fol-
lows: . cannot approve of your return
to Bulgaria, foreseeing from it sinister con-
sequences for the country, already SO sorely
tried. The mission of Prince Dolgorouki
has become inexpedient. | shall abstain, so
long as your Highness remains in Bulgaria,
from any intervention in the sad condition
to which the country is reduced. Your
| Highness must decide your own course. l
reserve TO myself to judge what my fathers
venerated memory and the interests of
Russia and the peace Of the East require
of me-
PHILIPPopoLIs, September 2d-The city
is gaily decorated in honor of the return of
| Prince Alexander TO Bulgaria and crowded
with visitors come to join the citizens in
celebrating the event. An enthusiastic
and popular demonstration was held yes
| terday in front of the British Consulate in
| honor of Alexander, and counter demon
! stration in favor of the Revolutionists was
at the same time held in front of the Rus
| sian Consulate.
PARIS, September 2d.-The publication
| of the correspondence between the Gar
and Prince Alexander has created great
fsensation in political circles here. The
Cars menacing reply to the Princes SUBJ
missive epistle is regarded by diplomats as
| insuring Alexander's abdcation and Rus
| sia's occupation of Bulgaria. 1t is feared
war will ensue unless Bismarck intercedes.
BERLIN September ID Private tele-
grams received here this evening from
Sofa, state that battle took place at Rad
omer, Eastern Roumelia, between regi-
ments loyal to Prince Alexander, and regi-
ments siding with the rcvolutionists, and
that the latter were defeated with heavy
! losses.
CoNsTANTIYoPLE, September 2d.-A repre-
| sentative of one of the great Powers which
| is most interested in the solution CT the
! Bulgarian question, considers the situation
| to be much improved, owing to the return
of Prince Alexander, and the firm attitude
of the BulgarianS Whether Russia has
| given special assurances to the Sultan or
not, he finds the Porte manifestly much
less anxious. The prevalent opinions
among the Ministers is that the crisis will
end without any overt act ON the part of
| Russia endangering European peace. The
British Government is strongly supporting
the Prince, and there is ground for believ-
ing that the Queens strong sympathy with
the Battenberg family may lead to more
than moral support if necessary for the
maintenance of the Princes position The
/ British Ambassador endeavored unsuccess-
fully to persuade the Porte to adopt an in
dependent action, basing her policy upon
Europe's recognition of her suzerain rights !;
but the Sultan's advisors still see safety
! only in clinging to that WORKOUT support
