CABLE NEWS' From All Parts of the Old World. THE EASTERN UNEASINESS. The Assassination of a Turkish Con- sul in Georgia. i SPAIN AND THE UNITED STATES. French Journalism and | Turkish Bonds. j ‘ Loxpox, Oct, 26, 1876, There has not been since the beginning of the war Such depression as now exists, not only in Belgrade, but throughout Servia. All ranks of people would mest gladly welcome peace. The Servians, with the view of intimiaating the Turks, have purposely exaggerated the:number of Russian volun- teers, not moro than 10,000 having really arrived in the country. The apathy shown by the Servians con- corning the progress of the war is something that, under similar circumstances, could scarcely be found in any country of the world. Aithough the reports of the capture of Djunis have been current twer'*-four hours, not a single Sérvian manifests the least curiosity about it. Yet the feeling of coming disaster is general. Now that Djunis Is said to have been taken, Russia might weil avail herself of her present influence to bring about an im- mediate peace, and it will not be surprising if she makes the attempt. Without her assistance Servia mast, to all appearances, very soon succumb, All tho correspondents agree as to the collapse of the spirit of the Servian population. They also con- firm the news that a battle was progressing yesterday before Deligrad. From the jact that fighting m going on in that direction, it is inferred that perbaps the Turks have not yet gained possession of junis, It 4s reported that General Tchernayeif has de- manded the resignation of the Servian Minister of War, The Minister ot the Interior has gone to Dell- grad to endeavor to effect a reconciliation. TRE PORTE AND THR ARMISTICE. ‘The statement that the Porte had informed General Ignatieff of its readiness to consent to a six weeks’ armistice if all the Powers wished 1t is confirmed. The Times’ correspondent in Vienna says:—‘‘There woula bave been no difficulty in fulfilling this condition, but \t turns out that the Porte still insists dn the stipulation that the Powers pledge themselves lo prolong the armistice if peace is not mado within the original period. In spite of Ignatief!’s conciliatory Attitude little hope is entertaimed that Russia will ac- cept this condition. It may, however, be expected that the Porto has not said its last word.’” General Ignatieff, the Russian Minister at Constan- tinople, has expressed doubts whether the conditions proposed by the Porto in connection with the short armistice would meot the approval of the Russian | government. ‘Diplomacy 18 actively endeavoring to induce the Porte to reconsider its reply and accept the armistice unconditionally,’ says the Daily News, “A compromise is not despaired of, as it is believed | that Russia is unwilling to push matters to extremes at the present moment.” TURKISH BONDS IN PARIS. Paris journalism has another sensation. Tho gay tapital was excited last might over a statement made in | yesterday’s Pall Mall Gazette that M. Juin Lemoinne has severed bis connection with the Journal des Dehats because he wanted to change the policy of that paper In regard to the Turkish question, Letmoinne is a ciever politician, and understands Europern potitics well, He bad become convinced of the impossibility of main- | taining Kngland’s policy in regard to the unity of the | b Turkish empire, and wanted to advocate the dismem- berment of the Sultan’s dominions. He spoke very piatoly, but his policy was evidently antagonistic to the stockholders of the Debafs who were heavy Turk- | tsh bondholders and wanted 16 sell them. M. Leon Say, the Minister of Finance is one of the most influential directors of the journal. THE INSURRECTION IN TURKEY. The Turks captured Bogowischte iast evening, and fare now advancing aiong both banks of the Morava, | Fighting was going on yesterday on the slopes of Deli- | grad, The Servian government attributes the recent | roverses to their forces.to the remissness and incapacity | of General Tchernayefl, The Servians deny the cap- ture of Djums by the Torks, General Ignatief, the Russian Ambassador, pre- tented his credentials to the Sultan yesterday and | wubsequentiy had a private interview with him. | Several more arrests have been made at Constanti- | nople in consequence of the conspiracy to assassinate the Grand Vizier and Midhat Pacha. Inthe country between Paratkin and Deligrad, and in the mountains near Saltschar, there are 11.000 men, women and children who are almost naked and literally RUBSIAN ASSASSINS. i The Turkish consul and bis wife at Tiths, the capital | tity of Georgia, in Asiatic Russia, have been assastin- ated. 1b 18 doubtful whetber tt will be at ail reassnring to the relatives of the Turkish representative at Tiflis to know that the Russian government at once dis- claims all responsibility, and declares that the mur- der otf the consul ond his wife ‘was not due to political motives.’ It remaims to be seen | whether or not the Czar will administer the same jus- tice that tue Turkish Porte did to the assassins at Sa- lonica. MORE TROOPS FOR MALTA “It is understood,” says the Financier, “in view of the possibility of further serious complications in the | East, that the Peninsular and Oriental Company's eteamsiip Cathay will, on the 28th inst., embark a large number of troops at this port for Malta.” ‘TH: SIX NeNDRED.” A banquet was held yesterday aiternoon at the Free- mason’s Tavern, in Great Queen street, in this city, to | commemorate the Balaklava charge, The banhuet, | like that of last year at the Alexandra Palace, was bilariously.celebrated. At the ciese of the dinner the survivors from the ranks returned to their hospitals and their workshops. SPANISH NEWS Spain has decided to take steps toward placing ber oavy on a more efficient footing. All the available | jron-clads wiil immediately be formed into a squadron, the first duty of which will be to act as a coast guard, The special Foreign Minister in Madrid proposes the | ponelnsion of an extradition treaty with the United States. Eighteen generals and 108 other persons connected | with politics have been arrested as accomplices in the | recent conspiracy. A royal order bas been published fully opproving the action of the sub-prefect of Port Mahon toward | the Protestants. | The republican conspiracy appears to have been more important than was at first supposed.

The Senator's visit is purely of a priv character. ms OnIKCT is to see and hear for himself, and as a member of the Senate Military Committce his presence here at this particalar juncture has a peculiar signifcance, ‘To-day he had an extended interview with General Ruger on tho condition of afiairs in this State, which was highly satisfactory tothe Senator, He is gratified to stato that Ruger appreciates the delicacy and grave responsi- bility of his position, and he tecls satisiied that the danes devolving upon that distingul will be discharged im strict accordance with his ideaa of military propriety. The Senator was agreeably surprised to find such a peaceful and sub- missivo feeling oxisting among the white people, which, under the circumstances, meant that they were determined not to be provoked into a collision or a | disturbance of any sort. SENATOR RANDOLPH’S OPINION. As regards the troops he was clearly of opinion that their presence was not only not needed here, but that it was in direct subversion of the consttution that they were brought here, From very tew remarka let fall by the Senator thero can be little doabt that bis visit here ts the initial step to important VIGOROUB CONGRESSIONAL, ACTION as tothe course of the President in garrisoving tho Stato with troops on the eve of a Presidential eloction.

These clube have all disbanded, including that veteran organization the German Fusiliers, of Charleston, whieb was organized in 1775, and has a proud re tionary record.
