SERVIA AND BULGARIA. A New Commander for the Servians—Russian Sympathy for Bulgaria. London, Dec. I.—Colonel Ilarvatovitch, has gone to Nissa, to take command of the Servian troops. He believes that he can drive the Bulgarians into Bulgaria with the aid of the second class of the reserves. Recruiting is actively proceeding. It is believed that Prince Alexander, of Bulgaria, is peaceably disposed. The following is the substance of a Russian imperial order published to-day: Although deeply offended by the fratricidal war of Bulgaria and Servia, the Czar considers that the determination, self abnegation. perseverance and love of order displayed by the Bulgarian Roumelian troops during the conflict are worthy of high praise. Mindful of the judicious, self sacrificing Russian officers, who imparted to the troops military qualities and a heroic, martial spirit, the Czar thanks Major-general Prince Cantacuzene, Bulgarian Minister of War, and assures his favor to him and to all other Russian officers who served in Bulgaria and Roumelia.” The armistice between Servia and Bulgaria is being strictly observed by all parties. Prince Alexander has telegraphed to King Milan his proposals for peace. Each country w ill here quested, under the conditions suggested, to respect the integrity of the others territory. It is, however, feared by many that the strong Russian friendship for Bulgaria,'Will tend to greatly complicate matters. Lord Salisbury has sent a remonstrance to Austria against the latter’s preparations for the occupation of Servia. He advises that the powers co-operate for the consideration of the Bulgarian demand for an indemnity, and for the prevention of further hostilities. The ServoBulgarian armistice will continue ten days. The Anstriau General Albori has gone to Nissa, and will assume command of the Servians if the (hostilities reopen. An Adrianopl6 dispatch reports that Russia and Germany are urging upon Turkoy imme diately military intervention in Roumelian affairs. The Sultan, however, prefers to act according to the advice of the British government, and to negotiate with Prince Alexander. FOREIGN MISCELLANY.

THE REVOLUTION IN MEXICO. A Complicated Situation—A Fight in Which the Revolutionists Were Victorious. New Orleans, Dec. I.—The Times-Demo-crat’s Monterey, Mexico, special says: “The situation between the revolutionists ana the government party is becoming more complicated. Fears are entertained that if the national government does not speedily send aid to the civil authorities under the acting Governor, the revolution will assume such proportions that all northern Mexico will ultimately be drawn into it Last Sunday night acting Governor Sepulveda, with a guard of 100 men, while returning to this city from the Villa Garcia, was attacked in the suburbs by 600 revolutionists. The guards became panic-strick-en at the odds against them, and about fifty of them deserted, fleeing into the mountains. The remainder stood their ground for a short time, then kept up a running fight, but were finally routed, retreating southward. The revolutionists lost five killed and ten wounded in tne fight. The guards lost but two men. The Governor, and such of his followers as did not desert, made their escape to Coahuila, where they orders from the federal government. This State is now practically without a Governor, and all business connected with the State executive is at a standstill. The revolutionists have gained a decided victory, and the movement is becoming popular among the people, although the commander of the federal troops at this city, General Reyes, is severely censured for his refusal to send federal troops to the assistance of Governor Sepulveda. A report is current that he will be superseded by General Mier, who is daily expected from Zacatecas. Official news from the City of Mexico cannot be obtained, as there is no one m authority here to receive it, with the exception of General Reyes, and he refuses to make any statement, or to give any reason for refusing to render aid to the Governor. It is now whispered that the general government is at the bottom of the revolutionary movement, and that the reason it gives for countenancing the insur gents is that it may be able to establish a military Governor over Nuevo Leon, as was done in Coahuila about a year ago.” DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.
