"Ths Porte accepts the German pro
tectoral of Russian subjects.
: The Czar addressing the Estates at
Moscow, concluded : "To-day, I am
happy to be able to thank my people
for their patriotism, which has been
proved Dy deeds. Their readiness to
undergo sacrifices exceeds our expecta
tions. May God assist us to fullfil our
task, and bless our troops who are
about to engage in combat for their

12,000 Russians while attempting to

repulsed.
ine Kussian assaults on Kars were
repulsed with heavy loss.
Abdula, the famous Kurd Chief, is

Muhktar Pasha telegraphs that in

Aue .Roumanian senate, answering
the address of the Prince, declares that
the Senate will never counsel any haz
ardous or dangerous policy, still less
any attack on Turkey, which would be
an unpardonable act of thoughtlessness
and concludes : "Nevertheless we will
defend our hearths if attacked."
, Derby's answer to the Russian circu
lar concludes : "It is impossible to
foresee the consequences of such an
act. Her Majesty'sgovernment would
willingly have refrained from any ob
servations in regard to it, but as Prince
Gortschakoff seems to assure in his de
claration addressed to all the govern
rnents of Europe, that Russia is aeting
in the interests of Great Britain, and of
the other powers, they feel bound
in a manner equally formal and public,
that the decision of the Russian gov
ernment is not one which can have
their concurrence or approval. ..
The rumors that Kars is captured
and Erzeroum is in danger, need con
firmation. Advices show the Russians approach
ing the Danube slowly but formidably.
Despatches received in Hew York
from ConstantinoDle. authorizes the
Turkish Legion to. declare that the
news of the persecution having been
lately practiced upon certain Christian
Tillages on the right bank of the Dan
ube is without foundation, in so far as
regards bad treatment, to which the
Israelites are said to hr4 been inb-
jected in Giurgevo. The Turkish lega
tion is authorized to state that there are
no Turkish inhabitants or troops oc
cupying tb!t town, which is situated
on the left bank of the Danube, and
which is under the government of
Bucharest, consequently the Ottoman
administration declines all responsi
bility for any event which may have
taken place in Giurgevo. . The Israel"
ites having equal rights in Turkey with
all other Ottoman subjects, of whatev
er religion, the Sublime Porte is deter
mined that they shall be respected, and
as a new proof of his high Impartiali
ty, His Majesty the Sultan has been
pleased jto nominate A Davideh, an
Effendi Israelite, Senator of the Em
pire.
London, May 7. Business on the
Stock Exchange is Jlat; consols open
ed at 79 and were subsequently better.
Lord Derby's reply to Prince Gort-
scbakofFs circular had a bad effect.
The Paris Bourse is also flat and rentes
are quoted at about 103 francs partly
on account of the British news and
partly in consequence of a sensational
article in the Figaro yesterday purport
ing to be a confidential address of Count
Von Moltke to the German Staff, ex
plaining the necessity for bis recent
speech in the Reichstag, saying it was
intended as a' cold , shower bath for
Erance. France is peaceful now be
cause she knows that she is not able to
fight Germany, but if stie ,had a fair
chance herintter hatred against Ger
many would inevitably break forth.
Such a chance would be an alliance
which she now has a prospect of effect
ing with Austria. The latter has never
forgotten Sadowa, and Russia' is not
now as in 1870, able .to enforce her
neutrality. Count Von Meltke said it
might be necesary for Germany in the
event of such an alliance, to act with
like swiftness as in former campaign?.
The officers would shortly receive de
tailed instructions for measures ta be
taken with a view to the complica
tions which the- Count, hoped might
not arise, but which he held it his duty
to pertest against.' Until such instruc
tions were received the staff could con
tinue to be guided ;by the instructions
of 1876. The Figart says in the course
of his address, that Count Von Moltke
drew a masterly parallel betweenthe
French and German : armies, and inci
dentally remarked that the Persians
1' 11 . . r.;
win ueeu au tneir resources to over
come the Turks. Though unquestion
ably the foregoing is having an eftect
on the Pans Bourse, it seems ridicul
ous, alter von Moltke's public utter-
anoes--aud the Figaroi is a notorious,
unscrupulous sensation monger.
It may pass away, but there is danger
tnat any bad news now, would deveN
ope it. The Time, in a leading article,
says : "We think Russia's assumption
or the concurrence of Europe in her
action, made a formal protest impera
tive. iflarl Derby's dispatch makes
this protest with effect and dignity.

CrfTAimNOPLK, May 7.-The block
ade of the Black Sea, at ports, will be
maintained by twenty, Turkish vessels.
Note. This looks like a blockade
in gross, not in detail. That is the
planing of a squadron at the entrance
of the Bosphorus, to shut off commu
nication between Russian norts and
the Mediterranean.
Paris, May 7. The official journal
publishes a neutrality decree and an
official notification of the blockade of
the Black Sea.
Erzeeotjm, May 7. The Russian
right wing is marching through Gonles
and Tchilder, evidently with the pur
pose, unless prevented by the Turks,
of turning the secofid Turkish line of
defence at Soghaule. The Russian cen
tre, in the plain of Kars, seem to be
awaiting the result of this movement,
and of the movements of the left wing,
which is trying to force its way from
Bayazed by way of Surekay.
Manchester, May j7. The Guardian's
London dispatch states that the chan
nel fleet has received orders to repair
to the Mediterranean.
The news of the defeat of the Rus
sians at Bat ram, with the capture of
three guns is confirmed. Everything,
however, tends to show that the Rus
sians are very strong in Asia, and it is
likely they will advance quietly. The
Russians seem to be waiting for rein
forcements. Fresh troops and Krupp
gun are landing daily and going for
ward from Trebizonde.
Advices have reached St Petersburg
of the bombardment of Kars, which
was commenced yesterday. An assault
is expected to day. Grand Duke Nich
olas is expected to reach Bucharest by
the 10th.
Becket was shelled by . the Turks
yesterday evening. . Basbi Bazourks
plundered the neigh bonne villages at
the same time, and returned with the
spoils across the Danube. 7
