THE OTTOMAN. PORTE, Dangers and Hopes of the Imperial Government. GEFORE THE CHANGE OF SULTANS. Details of the Servian Defeat at Alexinatz J ESSER Constantixorze, August 29, 1876, We are waiting and watch for the issue which Must come eventually, and may come quickly. If we lived in times of peaco the country might jog along under the care of sick nurses, but the present crisis is too serious, NOURI Pactra, &@ personal friend ot the present Sultan, has voluntarily Tetired from the post of marshai of the palace and di rector of the civil list. He could not assist at the de- thronement of his friend, neither would he oppose the advent of Hamid, who is equally his friend and his con. nection by marriage, To “run with the hare and bfnt with the Lounds” does not recommend itself to a man of his bigh spirit, and his retirement into privacy ia indicative of the imminence of the coming chan; With the accession of MAMID HPPENDE good bye to all talk of a constitution. The liberal ete- ment represented by Midhat Pacha and Mehmea Rushdi, the Grand Vizier, will be put to one side by | the clergy and the old Turk party, whose war cry is “Turkey for the Turks,” That those men will over consent to a form of government which shail put Christians and Jews on an with “true believers” is not for a to be zupposed, and a constitution upon the principle that all subjects are not equal in the eyes of the law would be a simple absurdity. Certain re- forms may be exacted from the Turks by foreign pres- sure, and the execution of those reforms which have already been granted, but which hitherto have’ re- mained a dead letter, and with such amelioration of thetr condition as thb impartial carrying out of these reforms would effect, the Christians would, no doubt, be content, their object being not so much to make | laws for the Turks as to protect themselves and their industries. There have been no striking items of news from the seats of war during the past week. Fighting still goes on around Alexinatz, which has not yet fallen, although seve ements to that effect have been made. The Turkish paper, the Bassiret, announced last night that the artillery was bombarding the town and that but one fortress remained unreduced, It seems, bowever, more than probable that the Powers will now interyene at the request of Servia, who is now disposed to acknowledge herself worsted, THR MARCI OP DERVISH PACHA on Montenegro, with the bulk of bis army ot Novi Bazaar, shows that the Turks can afford to neglect the Sorvian corps which were opposed to them on the southern and southwestern frontier.

Sitkowaz is before him, and so is Belja, only it rather more toward his left band. Just east of the ‘Villages Is the undulating ground with valleys bohind it and between it and the mountains which are on the horizon beyond. What 1 call the undulating ground 1s the series of little hills and hollows on which for the most part the artillery fight is being waged. Just about the centre of this line of country isa sort of little independent hill, with a gully or easy defile at each side of 1, Through those detiles the spectator, as Lhave put him, sees the valley between tho in of small hills and the mountains beyo ad ho perceives that this hitle independent hill is playing an important part in the business of the day, and likely to play a still more important one betore the straggle 1s over. ny Becauso, to effect the bold object he has in view, Abdul Kerim Py a roust bring the whole of his left wing up through that valley, and the two defies will expose it to the view of the Servian batteries.

To go on fighting battles in oraer to in- crease the Servian indemnity isa very unprotitable speculation, even if continuous victories could bo us- sured; and the limited independence of Servia will remain uninjured though a Turkish army should be marched to Belgrade, Every successive battle thus adds to the mass of purposoless suffering. It may be «that an untutore” Sultan will insist on asserting the power with which he has been newly invested. It may be that his Ministers, following the too obsequi- ous tradition of their offices, will not venture to bint a doubt of the wisdom ot his resolution, It may be that Fri aie victory will prove a fatal gift to the Ottoma Empfte in luriug its rulers to their destruction. We and those who, like us, can see the issues involved and measure the forces in conflict more uccurately than the combatants themselves will fail in onr duty if we do not strain our powers to save Turkey from itseli, to prevent us government {rom precipitating a generai warin the East, and to arrest an outtlow of vivod that must mcrease in its torrent if it 1s not absolutely stanched, WILL ENGLAND SUPPORT THE POPULAR CAUSE? {From the London Times, Sept, 5.) * © * Happily for us, this notion of maintaining all things unchanged in Southeastern Europe in the interest of Epgland has been disproved by events. It 1s, indeed, clear enough that Englishmen would run the risk of a chango rather than be responsible for keeping everything as it is; but they may bo reas- sured. Wliat have been deprecated as necessary evils have proved blessings. Many Enghshmen looked askance when Wallachia and Moldavia were erected into the semi-independent Principality of Roumania. They thought it wus the first step to the absorption of these prosinces into the Russian Empire; but Rou- manta has shown in this contest all ihe jealousics of an independent State, and has proved a formidablo wedge between Russia and Bulgaria. The con- cession of sell-government to Hungary was another step not universally approved here be-a it was fancied it would weaken the power of Austria in wihstanding Russian aggression; and there is no enemy of Pan-slavism hike Hung Servia itsell, glad as it has been to accept the assistauce of Russian oflicers in this campaign, has shown the most distinct jealousy of Russian intiuence, and there have been ugly stories whispered of the porils besetting Russian volunteers in the Servian armies, Calling intermediate States into existence along the Danube has preserved the equilibrium of the European system far better than any forced maintenance of the status quo; it has been the safeguard against Russian preponderance as well as the safety-valve of forces that could not be forever repressed.

An amusing anecdote, by the way, ts told of David in reference to his travels in the East, At Cairo he attracted the notice of Mohammed Ali, who was charmed with his talents and requested him to give some lessons on the piano to the ladies of the Vice- regal harem, The young Félicion, who was not a Frenchman for nothing, was delighted at the proposal, though it soon transpired that the terms were not to be over Jiberal. He was not, even allowed donkey hire to and from tno palace, Still he made his appearance at the gates of the royal abode, hot and panting indeed, but full of curiosity and the hope of adventures. He was received by the chief of the eunuchs, who introduced him to four of his “colleagues” and suggested that tho lesson should begin at once. “By all means,” sald Féhclen, ‘but where arc the iadies?’’ “Why, dog of a Giaour,’’ ex- claimed the head chamberiain, red with anger, ‘do you daro to speak of the ladies ot His Highness’ court? It is to us you must give the lesson.”” “To you?” stom. mered M. David, not quite realizing the situation, “Yos, teach us what there 1s to do and we'll repeatit to the ladies.’? The Frenchman, with much volubility, informed the grand eunuch that he could not teach music in this fashion, and the engagement was can- celled. Many of Fél:cien David’s iilusions were des- tined to be destroyed in an equally summary fashion, A CLERICAL LIBEL SUIT, I mentioned in my Jast letter that the Archbishop of Lyons had prosecuted the Petit Lyonnais, of that town, for a libel in publishing a bill of fare which purported to be that of a feast given by **His Grandeur,” and which contained the amazing an¢ wholly uplawiul item of pheasant in the month of August.

A few weeks ago the promise of the harvest was Magnificent, but the recent bad weather has don Tiows dama; Two or three days ago there was a ter- rible hurricane im the neighborhood of Pau. In twenty minutes all the crops nét yet gathered in were destroyed, the loss in muize being considerable, as well a8 iu grapes and other fruits. Trees were torn up or their trunks snapped. ‘The bailstones are ue- scribed as being of the size of walnuts, The financial position of France, with an annual taxation of $540,000,000, to say’ nothing of local burdens, 1s 0 vory deticate that a bud or even an indifferent harvest becomes a very serious busi indeed.

M. de Chaudordy 18 one of the ablest, if not the very ablest, ot living French diplomatiats, and it is evident that the government, in naming him ‘Ambassador to the Porte, i properly anxious to be welt represented during a erigis which daily becomes more complicated. M. de Chaudoray is young, as times go, having been ga- wetted to his first post, that of stiaché at Rome, in 1850, In 1867 be rose to be Minister Plenipotentiary, and on tne faliof the Empire was not tov proud to serve the Republic, As ‘Delegate tor Foreign Affairs’” in the government of M. Gambetta, at Tours and Bor- deaux, he won no little credit, and was thought to have gained the better of Prince Bismarck in the corre- sponderce he had with the redouvted Chancellor touching Prussian excesses, On the fall of tho Gam- betta administration M. DE CHACDORDY was named by M, Thiers Ambaseadur at Berne, being subsequently transterred to Madrid. 1b is said thet on bis arrival at the latier city he found German influ. ence paramount in the Peninsula; but, im a conple of months, his tact and address bad completely changed the aspect of aifairs, and France was once more, as of old, the preponderant power in Spanish politics THE POPULATION QUESTION Continues to be warmly discussed here, and M.

GENERAL BERTUAUT. The new Minister ot War, General Berthaut, is tracting a good deal of attention. Like most Ministers at the commencement of their careers, he is popular, aud every one speaks bighly of his capacities as an ad- ministrator, General Berthaut (who rejoices in the Christian names of Joba Augustus), was born on’ the 20th of Mareh, 1517, at Genus, in the old Burgundian country of the Cote-a’Or. It is charasteristie of French political life that be shoul thus hayescen, in iiity-pine years of e: , the monarchy of the White Flag, iho “constitational” reign of Louls Philippe, the Re- public of eat tricolor, red and Bonapartist, the dic- tatorsbip of Louis Napoleon, Empire, the govern- ment of Gambetta, the presidencies of Toiers and MacMahon. Tho Minister himself hus no political od, though neither imperialist nor republican jour- have failed to notice the circumstance that he was at school with the Orleans Princes or (hat his son ia at present aide-do ent C the Duke of Aumale, i Berthaut entered i itary College of St. Cyr on the 24th of November, 1837; was homed corporal September 12, "1838," and sub-offcer on the 10th November in the same year. Un the Ist October, 1839, he received bis first comm sion, becoming captain in 1844. In 1348 he was ap- pointed alde-de-camp to General Cavargnuc, aud saw gervice of @ dismal kiud tp the streeis of Paris, The defeat of the Insurgents of June did not, howeve mediately bring him promotion, and in the mo! December following Cavaiguac had ceased to be Chief of the State, A few years more and THE CRIMEAN WAK MADE PROMOTION QUICKER, Berthaut was advanced to the tank of “chef de bat- aillon” (major) in 1854, becoming heutenant colonel in 1859 and colonel in 1864. He received “the cross” in 1845, becotning, in 1856, officer, and in 1866 commander, of the Legion of Honor, But nts opportunity was yet to come. In 1869 was charged by the goverbment of tho day with t task of organizing the Garde-Mobile of the Northern nd Kastern Depariments, and at was in the perform. ance of this duty that he first b@ame generally known asa inan of energy, tact and resource. The following Year he was promoted to be general of brigade, and ue earned as much credit as any other French commander during the war, which 1s not, perhaps, saying muet In September, 1571, he was named by M. Thiers geu- eralof division, the highest grade to which a soldier can aspire wader the Republic, though President MacMabon has hinted that he might bo disposed to ing marshal’s batons, Probably, however, “the Mar- shal,” as emphatically called, 1118 colleagaes Can robert and Leb@ut being iorgotten, 1s not in any par- ticular harry to raise a fellow citizen to the same milt- tary rank as that which he holds himself. “The Dauphin” —1. ¢. M. Gambetta—is also getting himself taiked about. For the present he is on a visit to En; “i, where he has been feasted by ‘Sir Dilke,”” as the French papers insiston aaming the distinguished and republican member for Cheisea. M. Gambetta's avowed object iu brayjng the torrors of the Channel, 50 | real and vivid to th allie mind, was that he might study the English system of taxation. His real object was, perbaps, to run away for a season trom his French admirers, who begin to expect fiery harangues from him now that the recess has well begun aud parlia- mentary caution in speaking 1s no longer thought ced, moreover, that the electors i “Dictator to the As- sembly, are anxious to have a talk with their deput; and even to request him to resign, so exasperated are these enlightened persons the moderation their whilom favorite now 60 persistently displays, Of M. GAMBRTTA’S HONESTY in the course he i now pursuing there can be no. donbt, the more go that it is beginning to dimugé his prospects of powor, It is even feared by some of his well wishers that he may sooner or later experionce that peculiar and disagreeable sensation commonly known as ‘*falling between two stvols.’’ All the mod- eration in the world will fail to make him acceptavie to legitimists or imperialisis, while a very little mod. eration indeed has served to alierate {rom bim an im- portant section of the republican party. Yet when the country shail be called upon to ehoose A SUCCESSOR TO MACMAHON it 18 quite possible that M. Gambotta will receive a lemporary support from the adherents of the Comte de Chambord and Prince Lows Napoleon, trem the hope, on thoir part, that a genuine republican Presi- dency will be followed by contusion, disorder and civil strife, ang so give one of the pretenders to the throne other chance, On the other hand, many sincere— indeed, all honest—covservatives would shrink from such a policy. Meanwhile Marsbal MacMahon is so popular snd discreet that tho opinion gains ground that in 1880 he will be simply re-elected for anothor sever years and will have no successor tn his Mietime. ‘Tho French, who are republicans only in namo, haye no fear of long terms or of military rulers, THE EXWGLITION OF 1576. The preparations for the exhibition of 1878 are already being pushed forward with activity, though it would | seem hazardous to count upon the assurance that Eu- Tope Will be in a state of profound peace at the expira- tion of two years from the present date, Neverthe: exhibitions have a pacific tendency, not that they ina ‘opic, as Was 80 ridiculously asserted h has once taken ir does not like to fond it bas bestowed its labors in vain. I have reason to believe that a war between France and Pressia on the Luxemburg question was averted in 1867 in no small degree because Napoleon IIL. had set his heart cp mak- {pg asplendid demonstration of the wealth of France in the exbibition of that year. A war would have spoiled everything. Ono can only regret that His Ma- Jesty had not an oxbibition on hand in the year 1870. ae anxiety is felt here on the subject of tho ill- ness of OARDINAL ANTOXELLI, though for anxiety on his score, if the latest telegrams are correct, there is little room, the last of ecclesiasti- tutesmen being already doomed. But there is a 'Y just unensiness in the minds of French statesmen as to What may be the relations between the Republic and the Papacy when Antonelli shall be no more. The Cardinal, {t 18 not generally known, is a man ot severe common sense; though no less zealous than the Pope for the rights otf the Church, he understands better than his master the spirit of the times, and he has ever been a restraining and tempering influence at the Vatican. Keen sighted observers can perceive that France is on the eve of something very like a conflict with the Church of Rome, and that she will have to tread the path which Germany has already trodden. Hence it is a matter of the utmost impor- tance to know who will hereafter be the /eading politi- cian in the Papal Court. A statesman of a conciliatory t possibly hi certain—viz, that the State will ultimately assert its supremacy over every form of ecclesiastical organization. The Church must bend In France or be violently broken. — A curious political action has just been brought by a M. Crugy against M. MAUSSMANY, : that most magnificent of ediles, to whom Americans and tho world are indebted for the deiights of modern Paris, In 1852 M. Cragy was (and still is) editor of the rrier de la Git fe, an Orleanist journal. In that year M, Haussmann was Pretect of the Gironde, and, bemg vexed with Orieanist editors, he cast this one Into prison, Now, alter the lapse of twenty-four years, the ex-Mintster of poleon finds himself sued (or $60, 000 damages for false imprisonment, Of course there is much glee in legal circles at the prospect of this cause célébre, When the whole question of the rights and the wrongs of the coup d'état will be argued out in the courts, and divers barristers wll pocket many lees, M. Crugy had not the remotest chance of benefiting himself by the transaction. “A NEW PEER. {From the Liverpool Mereury, Sept. 6.] Lord Bary, whose elevation to the peerage is an- nonneed, comes from a race which, ever since it bas been in Engiand, has untii now been ardently whig The Keppels came over with William ITi., and the Earl | of Albemarle, who is now at the head of the family, is a stanch liberal, wno recordsin Dod that he voted for the abolition of church rates in 1860, His son and heir, Viscount Bury, has until within a very recent period been a iiberal. Ho was a. member of the Gladstone government, but resigned while that ad? ministration was stillin office, He had not changed iis political views, however, for in 1874 he stood for Berwiek-on-Tweed in ‘the liberal interest, but was left at the bottom of the — poll. A year juter he stood in the conservative interest for Stroud against Mr. Marling, but was beaten again, That he wonld be called to the Upper House during his jather’s lifetime has been rumored for some months. Yet surely, considering sow very recent his conversion 18, it was scarcely wise to do that, especially ax his fatber is seventy-seven yeara old, lord Bury would, im the ordinary course of events, soon have succeeded to a peerage. As it is, bis promotion has an ugly look and scems to be the reward of pohtical ter- giversation. He is a great volunteer and 16 one of the best shots in our citizen army. He lived tor some years in Canada and married the daughter of a Cana- Gian Prime Minister. Ho was thrice elected member of Parliatient for Norwich, but on the last occasion he ‘was unseated for bribery.

Cory, of Carcif, colliery owner, presided. Delegates from trades unions from different parts of the country addressed the meeting, promising the locked out men support. Several local gontiem appeared on toe platiorin to support the Tail Vaie employés. The hall ‘Was thronged with workingmen, and hundreds were unable to obtain admission. The weather prevented the meeting being held outside, OUTRAGE ON BICYCLISTS. {From the Liverpool Mereury, Sept. 6.] At Edgwaro Petty Sessions yesterday, Mr. Parsons owner and driver of the Watford and London coach and Cracknell, the guard, were summoned by Mr. Gee Honorary Secretary of the Trafalgar Bicycle Club, and Mr. Mitchell, tor having occas'oned them bodily harm on Augnst 26, Thero wore cross summonses against Gee and Mitchell for {uriously riding Dicyctes to the danger of life and tor using abusive langhage.

A CHANGE IN THE POLICE PROGRAMME, There were divers whispors abroad yesterday that a determined raid would be mado on this popujar con- cert garden, and that, as ebarges had been made against Police Inspector McDermott, that officer would test the power of the law, not only to stop beor eelling in this particular place of amusement, but would, be: sides, closeall the places in ite vicinity, A reporter of the Henstp paid a preliminary visit to tne environt of Gilmore’s at about eight o’elock im the evening, and found ghat throuzhout Twenty-seventh and Twenty- eighth streets and Fourth avenue the sale of beor at the public houses was as open and undisguised as‘on former occasions. + Although the front doors were closed a dim and religious light, perceptible over the transoms, was as a beacon light to the faithful that tho liquid creature comforts could be obtained therein by entering the side doors, and that wanderers in search of spiritua! comforts need go no further, After this large as usual—probably owing to the inclemeney of the weather—but the excellent orchestra gave selec- tions trom Donizetti, Verdi, Guunod, Rossini and Wagoer with oxquimite effect.
