“Constantinople, March 27. After the Garibaldist invasion of Spizza (a Turkish town in Albania, Northeast of Scutari), the representatives of the foreign powers insist on the dispatch of a mixed commission to Herzegovina. — The Porte refuses to submit its reform projects to the commission because it fears the resumption of the project of a perpetual conference. The powers have declared that they leave the responsibility for their actions to the Porte.”
