Peace has been concluded between Servia and Turkey. The bases
agreed to on both sides are the restoration of the status quo, the elevation of the Turkish flag in Belgrade, a general amnesty, and the departure of the Turkish troops within twelve days. Prince Milan's position will subsequently be confirmed by an Imperial firman. As soon as these bases had been arranged, the great Skuptschina, a body rarely called together, was summoned, and the Prince, in a speech of an hour long, delivered in secret session, explained the position of affairs. The Skuptschina accepted peace without debate, and was then,
to its own great surprise, abruptly dismissed, the Government dreading impolitic interpellations. Montenegro, which has always been victorious, is not so easy to manage, as the Prince demands concessions, and a treaty, instead of a merely written agreement, as between suzerain and vassal. It is believed, how- ever, that the Turks will yield, and they have already, without being asked, extended the armistice for fourteen days, to allow, as they say, time for the Prince's envoys to reach Constantinople.
