Content DescriptionApologises for the incorrect information contained in his previous despatch relating to the religious question in Bosnia; informs him he hoped to go to Mostar, Trebinje and Belgrade; states the mistake had been to 'allow Montenegro to play the fool' and that Turkey would now have to attack Prince Nicholas, which would be dangerous as he was a child of the Tsar; comments that the ammunition of the insurgents would not last.
