FOREIGN NEWS.  (THIS DAY.)  TILE SERVIAN ASSASSINS.  The Theme Agency contains the fullowing correspondence, datAxl Belgrade, Juno 28 : . .  The trial of the tustaseins was concluded in a single sitting. There was no necessity for prolonging the trial as the 13 prisoners confessed their crime. Accordingly nu witneeses were examined. One of the accused said that be was not aware of the assassination plot, although he knew there was to be an attempt at revolution. Maritch, a former magistrate, who had been condemned to twenty yearn' imprisonment for the murder of his wife, and the actual 110441111141 of Madame Alike, said that he was prompted to commit the crime to avenge an unjust condemnation. Stanvie Rematch, an aged man between sixty and sixtyfive years of age, with flowing white beard and hair, likewise said that ho was influenced by parsenal feelings. lle lust the property of some land in a lawsuit under Prince ?Alleged, the father of Michael. lle k. pt an exact account of the rents, and asked Prine3 Micicul to recoup the amount. Prince Michael paid no regent to the lipplicstion, whereupon Itognitelt resolved to kill him. " There wax no justice," lie said, "k. be obtained under the Obrenoviteli, and therefore I was anxious for the restoration of the Kunigeorgelack" Constantine Itattonovitch ileelared that he was actuated by no personal feelings against Prince Michael. He killed him because his brother Paul asked him to come and do so. George Radovanoviteh likewise obeyed the instruction of Paul, who was the agent of Prince Alexander Karageorgevitch, and his political correspondent in Belgrade. This fact wax not denied, and could not be denied, because a correspondence in cypher with Prince Alexander was found in Paul's house. A fourth brother, Lyonbonier Radonovitch, who had been condemned to 10 years' forced labour for forgery, was also accused. Panl seems to have been the soul of the conspiracy. There is no truth in the statement that a captain was shot in the fortress of Belgrade. The North-East Correspondence, in a letter dated Belgrade, June 29, says :  To-day Captain Mirz;nloviteh, who endeavoured to make the troops revolt at the moment of the assassination, was shot on the glacis of the fortress, in presence of all the officers of the garrison, two companies of infantry, and the militia. Be fell pierced by four bullets. An immensecrowd was present. The Minister of War published the following order of the day on the occasion :—" Prince Michael organised the army for glorious deeds. He did not believe that in its ranks would lso found traitors as on the field of Casson in 1389. One, however, there has been, Captain Mirzailovitch, to dishonour the flag, to betray the people, and to league with assassins. Our brave army resisted the seduction of the wretches. To-day the vile Dfirzailovitch has been shot. Brave soldiers! let him descend to hell."  Emperor's timAch had yet las n brought forward. The news from the seat of war was not very satisfactory. Two skirmishes had occurred at the Chaco, where tho Paraguayans at both places were dislodged. The Brazilians were endeavouring to cut off all communication with the Chaco.  Ilumaita, though completely besieged and bombarded by the fleet, was still in the hands of the Paraguayans, and it was supposed would be assaulted on the 30th of May. The import trade was dull. In the export market produce ruled high. Government stock, 873. The unsettled state of affairs in the South, the prolongation of the war, the electoral crisis at Buenos Ayres, and the monetary panic at Monte Video, all tend to demoralise trade; and Exchange transactions were precu ritll,l, closing; at 17d. for Bank end 17311. for private bills.
