Turkey is shirking again,—even on the Montenegro questionx_ It is

stated, on what seems good authority, that she offers to hand over Dulcigno to Montenegro, as an equivalent for the territory promised,—but only with tke exception of Dino& and Gruda ; and she asks for further grace, after the notice of three weeks has expired,—as it does on the 24th,—even to do that. We hope that Europe will grant no extension of time and insist on the full cession. With regard to Greece, it is rumoured that the Powers will not even give three weeks' notice, but a notice of only a few days. The shorter and more peremptory. the notice, the more likely it is to be promptly obeyed.
