The Gear replied to Prince Alexander
as follows:
I II can not approve of your return to
Bulgaria, foreseeing from it sinister
consequences for the country already 30
sorely tried. The mission of Prince
Dolgorouki has become inexpedient.
L shall abstain, so long as your Highness
lremains in Bulgaria, from any inter-
tvention in the sad condition TO which
the country is reduced. Your High
ness must decide your own course. i
reserve to myself to judge what m y
fathers venerated memory, tho inter
eats of Russia, and the peace of tine
East require of me-"

must either occupy Bulgaria and sup
press the anarchy prevailing therein

TRY to anarchy for an indefinite period.

A PROTEST WOULD MEAN WAR,
al BERLIN, Sept. 2.-rhe North Ger
+ man Gazette, referring to the article
Regarding Prince Alexander, say
Germany, unless she forthwith de
i. clared war against Russia, could only
4 protest against any further interference
: with Prince Alexander, or perhap
tagaiDst Russia taking further steps il
the direction of Constantinopie. Rus
sia would energetically repel the insiRu
i. Iation of such an Intention and Ger
n many's friendly relations with Russii
would be ended. 1t must be remem
bered that war would be the logios
development of such situation.
Nobody doubts that the U Ultramontan
II and Liberal policy is fraught with In
Il minent danger to Germany. Que mus
n either stand to the policy of the Gov
Iernment or plunge the Empire into In
ter minable war. We hear that th
commercial convention between Ge
n mony and Spain has been signed, an
! that the Rsichstag will soon be sun
"a moned to ratify it. Opportunity wi
then be afforded to stigmatizs befor
the country the reckle frivolity Of th
Empires foes who attempt to handle i,
AZ foreign politics."
