NEWS OF THE WEEK.
NEXT week ought to bring important news from Servia. Eyoob Pasha and his Prussian adlatus • finding, or be- lieving, it impossible to force the defences of Alexinevatz, are endeavouring to turn them, and so clear their way, yid Gnrgosevatz, to Kragojevatn, on their road to Belgrade, and have made a series of attacks, of which one, according to the telegrams, has been more or less successful. These telegrams are, however, Turkish, no details are given, and it is admitted that the " battle " has still to come off. The English correspondents with Prince Milan and at Belgrade are evidently doubtful of the result, dreading the effects of the Turkish artillery, which is, of course, much better than the Servian. The best grounds for hope are that the Servians are now fighting on their own soil, dis- play extreme courage, and are most skilful in the use of the spade. Volunteers from every part of the little State are flocking to Gnigosevatz.
