LATE ENGLISH AND FOREIGN NEWS.
(SPECIAL TO MELBOURNE PAPERS.) London, September 9. The aspect of afi'airs in Europe is regarded as ominous to the prospects of peace. In Russia great military preparations are going on, and there are unmistakeable signs that she is preparing for a winter campaign. The state of affairs in the Balkan Peninsula is causing grave alarm. Secret movements are on foot for the union of the Provinces of Bulgaria north and south of the Balkans. It is reported that Bulgaria, acting at the instigation of Russia, will declare her independence in October. The action of France with regard to the naval demonstration against Turkey, organised by the European Powers, is still uncertain. No absolute refusal to join has been given by the French Government, but whilst the navies of the other Powers have assembled at the rendezvous at Ragusa, an Austrian port on the Adriatic, the French fleet is vet absent.
