NEWS OF THE WEEK.

THE Times announced on Tuesday that in official quarters in Constantinople the Albanian campaign is regarded as at an end. A certain number of the insurgents have been driven across the Montenegrin frontier, but the greater number are massed on Turkish territory between the river Sem and the Montenegrin frontier. The Ottoman Government, we are further told, is engaged in considering measures for a definite solution of the question without further recourse to violent methods of any kind, i.e., an amnesty, liberal concessions, and help towards the rebuilding of the burnt houses. The details of the concessions are not yet published, nor is it certain that the tribes will accept them, but on the whole the omens seem favourable to peace—unless the Turks insist too rigidly on disarmament.
