(Conpiled by our Audda d Correspondent.) London, August 16. The latest telegrams relative to the position in Turkey show that tire .Servians were driven off Turkish territory into Servia, and concentrated near Alexinatz, in the Mor ova Valley, where they are prepared to resist the advance of the Turkish forces, (.garibaldi informed the Servians that he will endeavor to induce as many of his old followers as possible to help them in their war with Turkey. The Italian Government, however, decided to prevent the departure of Italian volunteers, whether their destination was the Turkish or Servian camp. The ‘ TimesV correspondent writes : “ The representatives of Foreign powers, and especially the Freach Ambassador, are far from satisfied that justice has been done in the Salonica affair. The eleven wretches who suffered capital punishment at Salonica were common malefactors, obnoxious to the Turkish populace, and scarcely worth the rope with which they were hanged, and of the [real instigators of the murder not one has been brought to trial, the Government not daring to rouse the fury which would be kindled among the Mahommetans, should it be known that only one drop of precious Mussulman blood had been spilt to atone for the blood of two Christian victims. In Bulgaria, on the contrary, the wholesale execution of men, supposed to have hem implicated in an abortive insurrection, isince sant. Twelve of these wretches were hanged at Tatar Bazafdic on the 20th, two of them being priests. With respect to the horrors ol which that once flourishing Provincehas been, and still is, the theatre, I beg to subjoin a letter written by a man on whose thorough mformati' >n, on whose impartiality and even loyal attachment to the Ottoman Empire, I bavc every reason to rely:—‘At least 25.000 unarmed and inoffensive people have been massacred in cold blood. Ace r ling to Turkish papers at Constantinople ;,here weie at least 40,000 more. 1,000 Bulgarian children have been taken and sold as slaves. They have been sold publicly in the streets of Adnanople and Phidpapollis. Terrible tortures of every description have been inflicted on thousands of those not murdered, uutrasfc® upon women have been more gene, al and. more brutal than iu any case I have read of. These outrages are more teinble because the Bulgarian women have higher ideas of virtue aud chastity than those of any other nation in the East. If the women of England could know the facts such a cry of indignation would go up as would rouse all Europe to action.’ At least 10.000 Bulgarians are in prison and are undergoing torture, many of them such as n ot been known iu Europe since the middle ages, and which were farmerly deho abolished in Turkey by Sultan Abdul Medzid. Many thousand refugees are crowded in the larger towns where they suffer all kinds of abase from the Turkish populat’ous, and are starving to death, because the Bulgarians are not allowed to keep them.”
