The mingled anger and fright of the Bulgarians comes out
strongly in the reply of the Sobranje to the speech of the Regents. The Deputies, without a division, assented to a reply which calls the seizure of Pi ince Alslander an infamous coup de main, organised by a handful of unworthy men," and demands their punishment at the hands of the Government. They can find no words to express Weir admiration for the "unprecedented patriotism" of Alexander I. in abdicating the crown ; but still, they admit that he has abdicated it, and speak of an election "to fill the vacant throne." They coldly trust that, " after this immense sacrifice," good relations will be restored w:ih Russia ; bat they do not venture to censure ler condcct, an I t'ley agreed in secret Committee to send a conciliatory message to the Czar. Beneath this timidity, however, there is extreme bitterness of feeling, which is stronger in the Army than in the Assembly, and it is by no means certain that it may not explode in some act, such as the election of King Charles of Roumania to the vacant throne, which would compel Rassia to act with violence. The outburst of opinion in Austria, and even in Germany, where we have good reason for saying it has ssriously shaken loyalty to Prince Bismarck, will have a powerfal reflex influence in Bulgaria.
