Europe an Affairs.
I/OMioN, July 1.?A special
from Vienna says that Prince
Milan, in his proclamation,
announces: ? 'Turkey provoked
war by not satisfying Boenia
and by threatening Servia
we enter Boeuea in the
cause of humanity and
nationality, and to re-establish
peace without offending Tur?
key's integrity." The proc?
lamation mentions Austria
thankfully for her efforts to
protect the Christians.
Tue Servians and the Mon?
tenegrins have entered Turk?
ish territory. A declaration
of war has been duly lodged
at Vienna. The state of
siege recently proclaimed in
Servia baa been counterman?
ded, but the exportation of
grain, victuals and arms are
forbidden.

tenegro sent to-day her dec?
laration ofwartoTurkey. The

principal insurgents, and
threaten. to execute them if
that district rises. The Turks
arc hanging teachers and
professera everywhere. A
priest has been crucified near
refused to co-operate with
Servia.
A London despatch says,
"The Liberals iu Parliament
will question the Govcrment
respecting its Eastern policy.
The liberal sentiment of the
entire country is againstunne-1
cessary complications which
may be caused by the support
of Turkey. Fears prevail
t hat the war in the East can
not be localized or confined
to a confi: ct between the Scr- j
vivns and Turks. There is
much talk about the review of
the volunteers, which was
held yesterday. Hitherto the
Government had not permit
ted the volunteer reviews on
so large a scale in Hyde Park,
'flic Goverement is evidently
now patting this hitherto de?
spised force on the back."
Pa rib, July 3.?The Journal
des Debats publishes a special
from Belgrade, which says
that Austria has notified Ser?
via that she will not place any
obstacles in the way of Turk?
ish troops reaching the Serv?
ian front via the Danube. The
Austrian ex-Gen. St. Reatim
erovitish has been appointed

the Montcnegrian Mitunter of
the Interior and acting Aidc
de-Camp, envoy from Servia,
is expected to arrive in Mon?
tenegro. A perfect agreement
respecting military Operations
has been established between
the two principalities.
Vienna, July 3.?Servia has
notified the powers that unless
they declare the Danube neu?
tral and prevent the Turks
using it for military opera?
tions, Servia will obstruct it
with torpedoes. It is stated
that Prince Milan has arrived
at Alesdcnatz. Servia has
suspended the foreign tele?
graphic service.
London, July 3.?A telegram
from Belgrade says the Servi?
an army commenced, yester?
day, reconnoitreing the South
eastern frontier, and it is re
ported occupied some impor
tant Strategical positions on 1
the Turkish frontier.
The Times has the folio wing:
A despatch from Vienna says
official intelligence from Bel?
grade says the Servians, yes- ]
terday crossed the frontier at
three points. The places arc '
not mentioned, bnt from the
position of their forces, it may
be presumed that these points
are Alerdinatz, Li setz and;
some point on the Dwina.

tion to allow P. B. S. Pinch-1

on motion of Mr. Bayard, de?
cided to be devoid of law and

How Gov. Fildes Received
his Nomination.?When the
short despatch was received,
the Governor,' speaking to se?
veral frieude in a tone scarcely
above a whisper, said: "I can
tell you wh-?*. has been done.
This nomination was not made
by the leaders of the party.
It was the people who made
; it. They wgntreform. They
have wanted It a long while,
and, in looking aliou*. they
have become convinced that
j it is to be found here (point?
ing at himself.) They want
\ it; that is what they arc after,
j They arc sick of the corrup
I tions aud mat-administration
j of their affairs. They want
a change, and one for the
I better?a thorough refonna
! tion. You will find there
j will be a larger Germau vote
I polled next fall than ever,
I and it will be largely cast for
the Democratic ticket; I know
that."
Retrenchment.?The Bos?
ton Herald, Independent,
with the largest circulation
of any paper published in
I New Kngland, says: "The
i Democratic House should
stand firm for economy. The
retrenchment it proposes is
reasonable, and will not im?
pair the efficiency of the Go
1 verument.
Southern Melodiks.?A
characteristic feature of the
; exhibition, and a very pic
' t'trcsquo one, too, is the pre?
sence in the North-western
portion of Machinery Hall of
acveral colored men, who arc
employed by a Virginia to
| bacco manufacturer to show
j the process of packing to
; bacco, but who, while they
are packing, amuse them?
selves and a larger number of
hearers, by singing well
i known Southern melodies.
: They have u consciously be?
come quite a distinctive fea?
ture of the exhibition, and
attract a great deal of atten
! tention, particularly from
: people of the North and for
' eignere who have never heard
! a "darkey song" before.
The 2d.?The city of Phil
' adelphia was all excitement
on the 2d?flags, banners and

I It seems that tLi "entenni
; al Exhibition, so far from in
t creasing food prices hi ?*hila
1 delphia, has actually had the
;effect, by attracting larger!
supplies, of reducing them.
