TELEGRAMS.
(From our Daily Contemporaries.) London, March 7. The Porte objects to the demand of Montenegro for a cession of territory and a sea port. Bussia, still expectant, pending an answer to the circular, has issued a ukase ordering 1 the organisation of nine army corps. The Porte maintains the same confident attitude it assumed when the Conference was sitting, and is prepared to accept war in preference to a prolonged suspense. On the other hand, Russia objects to the suggestions of a year's grace. Russia withdraws from the Treaty of 1856 unless other Powers co-operate to obtain the acceptance by the Porte of the original programme of the Conference. In the Turkish Budget the estimate of expenditure for the present year of the Army is set down at fourteen and a half millions ; of the Navy, at ten and three-quarter millions. Hayes has nominated W. Maxwell E warts Secretary of State, and Sherman Secretary of Treasury.
