ffarksti.—The people of Montenegro are in open rebellion against the

Porte. The mountaineers have for years harried the plains, and the Sultan appears determined to reduce them to order. Omar Pasha has accordingly entered the country with 32,000 men, but the Montenegrins have turned out en masse, reinforcements have arrived from Servia, and the country is the most difficult in the world. It is not improbable that Omar Pasha may be beaten, and it is said that in that event Montenegro, the Herzegovina, Servia, and perhaps Bosnia, will unite, and endeavour to form a single State, thus de- priving Turkey altogether of her suzerainty.
