CONSPIRACY EXPOSED.  The fallowing hietory of the ltaumelian Revolution is stated to be trom a trustworthy source: "The revolution had bi en thoroughly planned by the Pauslavist committee, acting under ollidal Russian cognisance, and was to have taken place next year. But it was to have been preceded by tome street or palace revolution at Sofia, which would have overthrown Prince Alexander in favour of Primer Nicholas of Montenee,ro, or of the hatter's son • itidrew, Peter Karageorgevice. The outbreak at Sofia would have been the signal for another in Servia, and King Milan, having been swept from his throne, a Panslavist my would have leen raised for the union of Bulgai is, Eastern liourel.a, Old Servia, aid Macedonia under cc,mtre—that of Peter Km-alp-dirge eice. When M. Rietics went to St. Petersburg last spring it was made clear that he was favourable to this combination. The mistake of the Peeelaviet intiiguers, however, was that they took M. Karavelnll into their confidence, relying on the old i-entiments of animosity which he used to cherish towards Pi ince Alexander while he was living in exile. But M. Karavelolf since he has been in office has become very iris ndly with the Prnce, and whether out of sincere devotion towards the latter, or because he saw the way to make a great career for himself, he not only revealed the Russian conspiracy to the Prince, but persuaded the lading con:waters to precipitate the movement and to execute it in Prince Alexander's favour. -Prince Alexender was awaie of the conspiracy before be went to London for his brother's marriage; and in Lond, n, acting under M. Karaveloff's advice, be borrowed a sum of money sufficient to enable him to purchase the co-operation of certain intriguers whose loyalty was open to doubt, and abo to buy arms, as it was necessary that certain military arrangement should be made, unknown to the War Minister at Sofia, the Runlet' Prince Cantacuzene. Prince Alexander however, did not know the date of the proposed movement. This was purposely kept from him, so that when at Pilaeu he could not tell the Emperor of Austria that he believed a rising in Eastern Rournelia was imminent. It appears, never theless, that he did candidly inform the Emperor of Austria that the state of affairs then existing in Eastern Rouinella could nt lug continue. On the other hand, Prince Alexander's visit to M. de Giers at Franzenbad was undeniably a piece of comedy, intended both to lull the Russians into a false security and at the same time to make the mass of Panslaviets in Bulgaria believe that Prince Alexander was acting in accord with Russia. In fact, Prince Alexander foiled conspiracy by strategem, and when the revolution broke out it took Russia completely by surprise. At present Prince Alexander bold e all the threads of the Russian intrigue in his hands. It is possible that an eventual arrangement between Bulgaria and the Porte, and she) with Russia, will be much facilitated by the circumstance that the Prince now has it in his power to publish some awkward revelations as to the operations of Russian agitators in the Balkans—operations directed in the most unmistakable manner against King Milan and King Charles of Roumania, as well as against the Prince himself." The Times correspondent sends the foregoing from Vienna.  After his discharge through drunkenness from si situation as timekeeper, Alfred Pitts went to him lodging in Dublin, and committed suicide by cutting bia throat,
