General Kanlbars, the agent selected to represent the Russian Government
in Bulgaria, has succeeded in fixing the attention of Europe. Before be entered Sofia, he delivered a bitter speech against the Government ; and after his entry, lost no time in assuming an attitude unlike that of a diplomatist. He informed the Regents that they had no legal title—whioh would be true if the Sobranje had not recognised them—but nevertheless demanded that they should exercise high prerogatives. They must raise the state of siege, liberate the prisoners under trial for kidnapping Prince Alexander, and postpone the meeting of the Great Sobranje till two months had elapsed after the restoration of a civil regime. The Regents, while delaying an official reply to these demands, have, it is known, partially refused them. They will abolish the state of siege ; but they will not liberate the prisoners, though, they will inflict banishment instead of death ; and they will only postpone the meeting of the Assembly till October 24th. These replies have given great dissatisfaction to General Kaulbars, who, according to the Times' correspondent, has power to call in troops from Bessarabia ; but he has for the present contented himself with sending to all Consuls and placarding over Bulgaria a solemn indictment of the Bulgarian Government, which has already produced a popular demonstra- tion against the Russians.
