The progress of the Montenegrins during the past week has

been well marked. The advance towards Scutari, which began at the end of last week, was continued on Sunday and Monday, and on Monday Tuzi was captured after hard fighting. The accounts of the correspondents, or rather of the correspondent— for most of the work seems to have been done by that intrepid lady, Miss Durham ; her specially full telegrams to the Daily Chronicle have been of great interest—are not very precise, but one gathers that some 5,000 prisoners, mostly Turkish regulars, a Pasha, and some twelve or fourteen guns, and a large store of rifles, ammunition, and food were taken. The Montenegrin losses in killed and wounded occasioned by the storming of the fortresses and of the various positions throughout the hill country were evidently very heavy.
