The struggle in Bulgaria has ended for the time in

the com- plete victory of the Liberals. As we have explained elsewhere. Prince Alexander has failed to keep the promises made after his coup d'etat, and in despair of conciliating his subjects has thrown himself upon Austria. The Russian Government, alarmed at his tendencies, has preferred to trust the people, and has threatened, if he continues obstinate, to leave him to their mercy. On the 19th inst., therefore, the Prince, by a formal manifesto, restored the Constitution of Tirnova, and appointed M. Zankoff, the old Liberal chief, head of the Cabinet and Minister of the Interior. No Russians are included in the Ministry ; but Russian Generals will continue to command and organise the 30,000 militia. The Bulgarian Liberals, it is reported, still hope that on the occurrence of a vacancy in the Governor-Generalship of East Roumelia, which will happen next year, the province will be added to Bulgaria, by the ap- pointment of Prince Alexander. Wallachia and Moldavia were fused into Roumania in that way.
