THETUEKISH WAE. ~_ ; Turkish war telegrams to' September. 12 state that the inquiries ,of the British Commissioners 1 show that the reports of; atrocities in Bulgaria have not been in. the least exaggerated. Children havej been roasted alive, and the ; flesh.thrust; down their' parents'' throats'; prog-; nant women. : werp,- ; ripped up, and' : women, children," and girls were ; violated by thousands; and menwere impaled, skinned alive, flogged to; death, and tortured in every conceivable manner, not alouo by Baehi Bazouks, but to a greater extent by the regular troops, who wcro rewarded instead of being ; punished for their cruelty. The English: Secretary of Legation, Mr Baring, and the American Secretary, Mr sent to investigate the matter, report that; sixty thousand, .Christians,. non-comba-tauts, were murdered. The American; Secretary suggests that the Foreign Commission see that the leaders of these outrages are hung. Thousands of bodies were strewn about' in every direction gnawed by dogs and in. a horrid state of putrefaction, with a few half-starved women sitting in the midst of them, bewailing the fate of their dear ones. One woman was found moaning over three small skulls with hairs clinging to

them, which she had in her lap, These revelations caused an intense ■, feeling through .England, and meetings were held in all the chief' 'centres,. which;/ passed resolutions calling on the British Government to' stay these atrocities. Canon Liddon from the jpulpit of St, PaulsV. said, "While they were listening in thatsacred building, the loud cry and bitter: 1 wail of anguish and despair was rising to; Heaven from thousands of desolated homes, from mothers and daughters whoso whole future life would only be one long memory of agony and shame. What made the voice falter in; speaking of this subject was, that the Government to which Turkey was turning for support'was free, humane, Christian England. If God was the same as He ! had ever bee : h, He hated cruelty, and would punish those wliti ehact'andthose who abet it hos? J a: of old." . ..-:''■ ■;..^,

John Bright stated in a letter to a public meeting at Rochdale, convened to protest against these cruelties, that England was the sole cauee of these cruelties, in Kervia, as but for her. support, Turkey dared, not have been guilty of them. ." : •,, . The Hon. Mr Gladstone, in a pamphlet on these atrocities, says the British name has been more seriously compromised in those deplorable events than ever was kuown before. He urges the people to insist upon the- Government excluding the Ottoman from the, administrative control of Boßnia, Herzegovina, and Bulgaria, redeeming by this policy tho honour of the British name. Lord Derby has writleua letter, saying the Government will spare no effort to ascertain tho exact truth, and bo ready in common with other powers to lake such action as the justice of the case requires. Fighting between tho Servians and Turks before Alexanilz commonded on the 18th August, and continued until the 4th of Soplember. The Sorvinus gained several successes, driving tho Turks ncroßß'to'tho left bank of lie Moravia

river. The lighting was hard, with great slaughter on both sidos. . Tho Russian volunteers specially distinguished themselves. , It is Btaled> that Eussian.officers drivo the Servians to battle with pistol : and sabre, shooting down laggards remorsely., .• •■■.'-.■■• ■ - — The' Servian loan was eagerly subscribed at St. Petersburg., On September 3rd tho Turks bombarded . JHexanilz, firing tho town in several places.., A severe fifibt ens.ucd, iu which two villages near Alcxanitz, held by Servians, wero burned, and the ougagemenfc resulted in groat disaster to tlio Servian army, which bocamo completely disorganised. 'Alcxanilz was crowded with wounded and maugled. A | stampede from tlionce took placo, and for ten miles-on the road to Deligrad there was a compact moving mass of vehicles, cattlo, and peoplo running away as fast as possible. r The British ambassador presents a demaud for tlio conclusion of an armistic, to be followed by negotiations of peace. The term of armistice demanded is one mouth. England's declaration that, if Turkoy's refusal shall load to armed Foreign intervention, tho Porto must not

reckon on "the British Government, oaused surprise and disappointment. No secret was made that .Russia was likely, to. inler-j 'fere. It is asserted that slavery'will bo abolished. After this demand, it is said that thdvTurkish Government looked to Austria to'repel Russian aggression. < Tho latest telegram, dated:: London,' September 1&, : says :-The .Standard's despatch fromJelgrade.says, the answer of Turkey concerning tho .condilions/of peace has beenreceivccl, but not officially cominuuicated. Krissia will not permit Servia to accept, and the question is now when will Kussia throw off the mask, and openly prosecute the war she ia actually! waging, while protending to.be merely, the Servians' Wend. . , _ -, ■ :: - ; A : Vienna' special'says that' General Manteuffel, who.went .on. a mission to; 'Warsaw to persuade Bussia to'check the warlike aspirations, of 'her people, has received Prince Gortchakoff's reply _ to; Germany, laying down tho conditions under which Bussia will uphold peace, under present circumstances. -■■ j The Belgrade correspondent. ot theBaiifNews is informed that over 3,000 Russians of all grades are in the Servian amy- ... , .-,'-. \
