(From our Daily Contemporaries.) A number of Bashi-Bazouks crossed the Danube and plundered the Roumanian outposts. The commanders of Silistria were ordered to punish them. The Servian general, Totennatieff, was received at Prague with incessant ovations favorable to Russia. The authorities interfered, and the police escorted him over the Saxony frontier.

On the first-the concesSS SJSSSiT lsslo £l° f arrears ?f? f tobute-therewill probably be little difficulty. The second point insisted upon by Servia is that the river Dwina should form the frontier of Servia. This would imply the cessation of service in Dwina. Another difficulty is the lurkish demand for guarantees. Servia has demanded a statement of the guarantee required, but has not yet received an answer. lhe Times Berlin correspondent says Russia seems to have decided upon a peculiar plan ; she trusts she can support the strain of a prolonged mobilisation better than Turkey, and will therefore keep troops on the frontier, thus compelling Turkey to do the same. Russia has made fresh but unsuccessful attempts to raise a loan in Amsterdam and Germany. She will be obliged to have recourse to an increase cf her floating debt, and issue Treasury bonds War preparation continues with energy. Servia is making urgent appeal to the Western Cabinets to "support her k refusing" the fcmaacls of Turke}-. The Kussiaas, * 0 $ r to redouble S
pressure on Turkey, will probably cross the Pruth— if not immediately, at least at a later stage. As soon as it was known that Turkey 'had made overtures to Servia, the Russian representatives at the various Courts declared that Russia had no objection to the conclusion of peace. The Pope received the students of the American College, who read an address, and presented a sum of Peter's pence. The Pope, in reply, referred to the marvellous progress Catholicism was making in America. It is said the Catholic papers have engaged to make the strictest use of the ancient prerogatives to ensure regularity in the election of a successor to Pius IX.
The ' Times ' ' Paris special says it is affirmed on all hands that a brisk correspondence is progressing between Russia and Germany. Some assert that Russia wants to know whether she could enjoy the fruits of victory if she achieved one.
