The Turkish Ministry has decided to grant autonomy to Eastern Roumelia, and to set aside the commission appointed to restore Turkish administration in that country. The Roumolians denounce tho new decree as a scheme to facilitate the re-entry of the forces of tlie Porte. The Sultan has notified Princo Alexander that ho has sent a commission to Pirot to assist in arranging an honorable peace witli King Milan. The Prime Minister of Greece has ordered tho expulsion of all Ottoman Consuls. Some of the Routnelian heroes in tho recent battles have notified Prince Alexander that .they will not consent to the separation of their country from Bulgaria, At a meeting of citizens .of Eliilippopolis it was resolved not to, recognize .the Sultan’s special commission, whereupon the Russian agent gave warning to those present that liis Government would refuse assistance to the Roumelians. The Spanish revolutionists are reported to be actively at work, and Senor JZorilla is said to have sent large sums of money to hta adherents. It is thought possible that two risings may occur simultaneously—ono by the Republicans, the other by the Carlists.
