The Ttmeg'-Bucharest correspondent
says : "The decision to withdraw all
pretensions of occupying the other
side of the Balkans this campaign,
caused an order to be issued for the re
tirement of General Gourkes' force be
hind the mountains. The cavalry
could be of no use among the woods
and precipices of the Balkans, and are
required on this side where besides,
forage is more easily obtained."
The JSefws Vienna dispatch reports
that the Egyptians under Prince Has
san commenced on Saturday an offen

The Queen's Speech Upon the
; ; Prorogation of Parliament.
London, August 14.
Parliament was prorogued this after
noon. The following is the Queen's
speech which' was read by commission:
ftMy Lords and Gentlemen :
"X am happy to be able to release you
from your attendance upon parliament.
My relations with all foreign powers
continue friendly. The exertions
which, since the commencement of the
disturbances in Eastern Europe I have
not ceased' to make for the mainte
nance of general peace, unfortunately
haye not been successful. On the out
break of the war between Russia and
the Ottoman Empire, I declared my
intention of preserving an attitude of
neutrality &8 long as the interests of
the country remained unaffected. The
extent' and nature of those' interest's
were further defined in a communica
tion which I caused to be. addressed to
the government of Russia and whieh
elicited a reply indicating friendly dis
positions1 on the part of that State. I
shall not fail to use my best efforts,
when a suitable opportunity occurs,
for the restoration of peace on terms
compatible with the honor of the bel
ligerents and with the general safety
and welfare of other nations. If, in the
course of the contest, the rights of my
empire should be assailed or endanger
ed, I should confidently rely on your
help to vindicate and maintain them.
The apprehensions of a serious famine
In southern India, which I communi
cated to you at the opening of the ses
sion, I grieve to ray have been fully
verified. The visitation which has fal
len upon subjects in Madras and
Bombay, and upon the people of Mig
sare, has been of extreme severity, and
its duration is .likely to be prolonged.
No exertion will be wanting on the part
of my Indian government to mitigate
this terrible calamity. The proclama
tion of my sovereignty in trans-India,
has been received throughout the pro
vince with enthusiasm. It has also
been accepted with marked satisfac
tion by the native chiefs and tribes, and
the war which threatened in its pro
gress to compromise the safety of my
subjects in South Africa is happily
brought to a close. I trust that the
measure which has been passed to en
able the European communities of
South Africa to unite upon such terms
as may be agreed on, will be the means
of preventing a recurence of similar
dangers, and will increase and con
solidate the prosperity of this import
ant part of my dominion.
"Gentlemen of the House of Com
mons, I thank you for the liberal sums
you haye voted for the public seryice.
In bidding you farewell. I pray that
the blessing of Almighty God may rest
on your recent labors and accompany
you in the discharge of all your du
ties." ,
