Loxpox, Oct. 21~5:30 a. mn.—A Parls corre- spondent of the Z%mes calls attention to the fact that siuce Russia’s refueal of the long armistice she haa been faco to. face with ‘Turkey, no other - Power having approsched . Tur- key; that by strange accord eutire Europo has abandoned the fiction by which the discus- sion has been earried on In the name of Servia and Montenegro. By oue of the most slngular transformations in history Russis and Turkey are virtually at war, when Europe s trembling at the prospect of such a confilet. It will be, therefors, no surprise . it Turkey throws overboard theso-called collective protection of the Powers, and opens direct ne- gotintions with Russla, In the progeamme of Russia’s wishes there are points to which Tur- key wlil casily resign herself, but which the mediating Powers will “oppose. Turkey canuot abandon her maguificent Bulgavian provinces without commlitting eufclde, Turk- ish atatesmen beileve she may, In deallng only- with Russln, save Bulgarin by zrantiug the 1ib- erty of the Bosphorus, It Ia true, Turkey i3 bound by the treaties of 1630, to which the freedom of the Bospho- rus s contrary, but the powerlessness af Europe is driving Turkey into negotiations with ber bittercat encmy, and the Porte may break the treaty in despair.'

BELGRADE, Oct. 20.—It was rumored here on Weduesday that 20,000 Russians had crossed the Pruth, The French, Itallan, and Austricn Consule-General went to Olisova to ascertain if the report was true, but no confirmatfon has come, i EXOLAND'S T'OSITION, LonDON, Oct, 20.—The British Cabinet, at its mecting yesterday, deckded upon the poliey of abstentlon, for the prescot at least, and m thls policy they have the support of the press and the people. This removes fram the considera- tion of tho chunces of the peace of Europe onu of the clements which In Wednesday's psnle was certainly reckoned upon to disturb it, In case Russla crossed the Danube, UNCERTAINTY, There Is nothing n this morning’s news to re- lievo the uncertaluty about Russta’s intentlons, The London fournals scem inclined to abandon all hope of o preservation of peace between Russin and Turkey, The Berlin ncwspepors, on the contrary, ex- press the opiolon that nll the Puwers of Europe, including Eugland, aro equally interested, in consequence of the fallure of thelr jolnt efforts at Constantinople, and that it is unjust to sus- voet Russin of following the dictates of self- interest. . Tho French papers agreo that France will do lier best to maintain peace, but will not take an active part shoull the crisis end fn war, MOKE ¥FIQUTING, Beranane, Oct. 20.—Serfous fighting took place near Snftschar on Tuesday and Wednes- doy, The Turks are trying to forea thelr way to Paratchin, whence thelr march to Belgrade would only bo interrupted by weak fortifications 8t Chupria.
