The internal trouble in Servia, seems to be coming to
a head. Queen Natalie has taken a house in Belgrade, and announces her intention of residing there. As she is popular with the mass of the voters, and has great influence with the Regents and her son, this means that she intends to rule Servia,—of course in Russian interests. This seems to her husband a personal defeat, and exasperates him to such a degree, that he threatens either to remove his son from Servia, or to declare himself Regent during his minority. It is supposed that the soldiers, who are still attached to King Milan, would, if he took any bold step, obey his orders ; and the Regents are therefore at their wits' end, and inclined to risk anything "short of restraining King Milan by physical force." In brief, King Milan is very much inclined to undo his abdication
rather than let his repudiated wife reign in his stead; and if he does, he must, it is said, summon Austrian assistance, and so bring on the conflict so carefully avoided. We do not doubt the ox-King's influence, so often demonstrated, or his ability, so often proved; but a counter-revolution would require nerves which he probably does not possess. He would have to face Russian agents full of disappointment, and excited even beyond the point at which they ordered the kidnapping of Prince Alexander.
