tified, armed with twenty-eight guns,
and garrisoned by a regiment of the
8th division. Two regiments hold

has addressed a proclamation to the
Hungarians urging Austro-Hungary to
come to an understanding ; with the
Porte as to the extent of the conces
sions to Christians, which can be made

cluded. Russia should then be called
upon to terminate the war."
A Vienna dispatch to the Times'

Constantinople yesterday states that
