The inquiries of the British Commissioners show that the reports of the atrocities in Bulgaria have not been in the least exaggerated. Children had been roasted alive, and the flesh thrust down their parents' throats. Pregnant women were ripped up, and women, children- and girls violated by thousands. Men had been impaled, skinned alive, and flogged to death, and tortured in every conceivable manner, not alone by Bashi-Bazouks, but to a greater extent by the regular troops, who were rewarded instead of punished cruelty. The English Secretary, of the Legation, Baring, and the American Secretary, Schuber, sent to investigate the matter, report that 60,000 Christian non-combatants bad been murdered. The American Secretary suggests that the Foreign Commissioners Bhould see that the leaders of these outrages are hanged. Thousands of bodies were strewn about in every direction, gnawed by dogs, and in a horrible state of putrefaction, with a.few half-starved women sitting in the midst of them, bewailing the fate of their dear ones. Une woman was found moaning over three small skulls with hairs clinging to them, which she had in her lap. These revelations have caused iotense- feeling throughout England. Meetings have been held in all the chief centres, and have passed resolutions calling on the British Government to Btay these atrocities. Canon Lidden, from the pulpit of St. Paul's said, " While they were listening to him in that sacred building, the loud cry and bitter wail of anguish and despair was rising to heaven from thousands of desolate homes, from mothers and daughters whose whole future life would only be one long memory of agony and shame., , What made the voice falter iu speaking of the subject was that the Government to whieh Turkey was turning for support was that of free, humane, Christian England. If God was the same as He had ever been, and hated cruelty. He would punish those who enact and those who abet it, now as of old." John Bright stated in a letter to a public meeting at Rochdale, convened to protest against the cruelties, that England was tbe sole cause of these cruelties and of the Servian war, as but for her support Turkey dared not have been guilty of them. Mr. Gladstone, in a pamphlet on these atrocities, says the British name has been more seriously compromised in these deploiable events than ever known before. He urges the people to insist on the Government excluding tbe Ottoman Power from administrative control of Bosnia, Herzegovina, and Bulgaria, and redeeming by this policy the honor of the Bctisb. name. Lord Derby has written a letter saying the Government will spare no effort to ascertain the exact truth, and be ready, in common with other Powers, to take such action as the justice of the case requires. Fighting between Servians and Turks before Alexsinatz commenced on tbe 18th August, and continued until the 4th of September. The Servians gained several successes, driving the Turks across to the left bank of the Moray a River. The fighting was hard, with gieat slaughter on both aides. Bus--Biaii volunteers specially distinguished

themselves. It is stated the Bussian officers drove the Servians to battle with pistol and sabre, shooting down the laggards remorslessly. The Servian loan was eagerly subscribed at Si. Petersburg on September 3. The Turks bombarded Alexsinatz, firing tlie town in several places. A severe, figbt ensued, in .which two villages near Alexsinatz held by the Servians were burned, and the engagement resulted in a great disaster to the Servian army, which became completely disorganised. Alexsinatz was crowded with wounded and mangled. A stampede from thence took place, and for ten miles on the road to Belgrade there was one compact moving mass of vehicles, cattle, and,people ruanmg away as fast as possible. The British Ambassador presented a demand for the ;conelusion of an armisi ice, tto be followed by negotiations or peace ou terms of armistice. The , dbinand is open for one month, England's declaration being that Turkey's re-'usal shall lead, to foreign intervention, and that the Porte must not reckon on the British Government. This caused surprise and disappoint ment, as no secret was made that Kussia was likely; to iutevfere.. . It is asserled that slavery will be abolished after this.demand,.
