According to the latest telegrams, the Turkish Parliament has advised

the Sultan to make no concessions of territory to Monte- negro, a statement whittled away by a correspondent of the Daily Telegraph into a resolution to make no concessions in Albania. It would seem certain that the Prince makes the demand for Niksich his sine qua" non, while giving up his hopes of a port, but of coarse, his action must be decided by circumstances. He is not afraid to continue the war, and not so dependent upon Russia as is imagined, as should he continue the war, he would in-

stantly become the centre of all Slav hopes, but he cannot resist determined pressure from the Austrian side. Austria can cut off his supplies by sea, unless, as has been reported this week, he has already received them in nine Russian vessels, said to have unloaded at Cattaro.
