The latest news does not inspire much hope as to
Turkish ad- hesion to these terms. The Times' own correspondent at Cettinge telegraphs on April 5, that Prince Nicholas had on that day ordered his representatives at Constantinople to demand Nicsics, Koloschin, and the Kuehl, and in the event of refusal, to quit the capital by the first steamer. The correspondent adds that the Russian Government counsels the Prince to make peace, but that he is determined at all hazards to retain the districts in his hands. The Turks will be irritated by this decision, which they will attribute to Russia, and will, in all probability, break off negotiations. The action of the Pashas in regard to the Protocol is not yet clear, but they are reported to be affronted at the secondary position to which Turkey is relegated, and to declare that disarmament is impossible. There are, however, some signs of hesitation at Constantinople, attributed in many quarters to the desire of the Sultan personally for peace. The Commission appointed to try Toussoun Bey, believed to be one of the worst of those engaged in the Bulgarian atrocities, has, of course, acquitted him.
