cdiSe, commenting on the published CORE.
spondence between the Gar and Prince
| Alexander, says: AFTER the Cars reply
the house of Battenburg may be considered
to have ceased to reign in Bulgaria. That
reply also humilates England, whose
lamentations nobody regrets Events in
Egypt proved Englands incurable egotism.
France must arrive at an entente cOrdiale

and in the far East, against British inva

"PTince Alexander has committed a serious
blunder and the only unworthy act with
which he can be reprOached. 1t is carrying
the comedy of Courtly discrimination too far
to pretend that the Gar did not approve of
his deposition. England has done her best to
promote peace in the Balkans. If she fails
Austria and Germany will either suffer
grave injury or make heavy sacrifices.
They may yet rue the day when they aban.
doned Alexander to curry favor with the
Gar.
The Daily NelOs says: "Prince Alexan-
der has been abandoned and isolated by the
agreement Of the three Empires Nothing
could exceed the humility of his letter to
the Car, which is only equaled in degree
by the brutality of the Cars answer"
LONDON Sept 4.-The daily Telegraph

Bulgarian revolution says: "Russia has
