A Formal Declaration of War by Servia Against Turkey. The British Oonsul at Erzeroum Ordered to Pack Up and Leave, Which Is Thought to Indicate & Menace on the Part of England. Peace Rumors Plenty i London, Paris, and Constanti- nople. MacMahon and the Deputies Appear to Be in Full Accord. The Marshal Turns 1iis Back upon His Monarchical Advisers. GENERAL OUTLOOK. THE METCHEA BATTLE, [By Cable to The Chlcago Tridune.] Loxpox Orrice or Tax Cmicaco TRIBURE, Dee. 16—5 a. m.—Tho battle at Metchka on Wednesday scems to have been a serious en- deavor by Buleiman Pasha to defeat the Czarowitch beforo tho transfor to the latter of large reinforcements from Plevns. The attack was directed at the new bridge across the Danube at Batin, by way of the Motchka Valley, About sixty battalions charged up the valley at dsybreak, whilo a feint was made on the Russian right. All doy tho fighting was continued by artll- lery fire, supplemented by OCUASIONAL FRANTIO CHAROES, “quite weakly sustained. By evening the Russians took the offensive, turned tho Turkish right flank, and drove them as faras Krasknoe and across the River Lom, Suloiman Pasha will leave in tho quadri- lateral—Rustchuk, Silistria, Varas, and Sham- la—about 75,000 men, CROSS TIE DALKANS with 50,000, and unite with the army lately commanded by Mehemet All. Even without reinforcements thero will thus be 100,000 men to cover Adrianople. The British Consul has left Erzeroum with the Consular archives, and the place is nearly wholly invested. The eapture is only o question of tima, PZACE PROPOSITIONS, All warlike tendencies here and elsswhere will coase on publication of a circnlar note from the Porto to the European Powers, par. tios to the treaty of 1B71, an abatract of which is just received from a Fera corre- spoundont. The important features aro a sol- omn daclaration of intontion to reform tha Administration in all tho provincos, expres- sion of a desiro for peace, and request fo the mediation of tho European Powers, As an offset to this comes the news that SERVIA HAS ACTUALLY DECLARED WAR TO-DAY, aud that Groece will soon do the same ; also that the population in Epirus, Thessaly, Bosnis, sud Lebanon refuse to furnish a mil itary contingent. Nothing can bo learned to-night of the action docided upon &t the Oab- inet meoting here {o-day, though tho circular note of °‘the Forte to the Great Powers was discussed. To-morrow the Quevn will visit Lord Beaconafield at Hughenden Manor. MABSHAL MACMAHON 1as submitted not only to have & Republican Cabinet, but to acknowledge the independ- enco and responsibility of his Ministers. The messago to-day is s practical disavowal of the octs of De Broglie and Fourtou. Gen- eral rolief from anxlety is expressed through- out France. The Chamber will vote the four direct taxes and two-twelfths of the budget. IN BULGARIA. 1B METCUKA BATTLE. Loxpoy, ‘Dec, 14.—A Ruisfan official dis- patch dated Bogot, Dec. 13, says sixty battalions of Turks yesterday attacked the forces of the Graud Duke Visdimir all along tho loe, direcidung, bowever, thelr principal cfforts agalnst tho leit sud centre. Theyat- tacked Metchka six times, but were each thne repulsed with @reat loss. At 1 p. . the Tuirty-tifth Divislon of the Twelfth ‘Russian Army Corpa appeared on the acene and attack- jug the Turks on their flank compellod thew, with the co-operation of tho rest of the Hussian forces, to retire upon Kraans, thelr retreat to | Jovan-Ciftllk belug cutoff, The Grand Duke Yiadimir sarrowly escaped » ball. TURKISH ACCOUNT. Sulelman Pasha, describlog the ssmeo adfalr, claims that he carried some of the intrench- wents of Metchks, but was uvable to bold them, owini to the firo from the heights and the wrrival of Russian reioforcements. He con- sequently withdrew to his orrigiual position after & soven bours’ battie. Three thousand Rusatans were killed.
