Intelligence has been received that the Montenegrins asked the aid of the Great Powers to enable them to obtain possession of Dulcigno. They solicit the Powers to take some steps beyond coercion by the fleet. The Admirals in command of the vessels forming the squadron have referred to their respective Governments for instructions. London, Sept. 28. It is announced that the French Government have instructed the commander of the French vessels forming part of the combined team at Ragusa to abstain from taking part with the squadron in any act of coercion towards Turkey.
