The Bocca di Cattaro, Dalmatia, 1870. 'The insurrection against the Austrian Government in Dalmatia seem to have almost subsided. General Auersperg, one day last week, had a conference with a deputation of the insurgents at Ledwice, a port half way between Risano and Dragaly. They said they had been misled by agitators, and expressed their loyalty to the Emperor. A meeting was held, last Saturday, of representatives of many of the revolted villages, with the same disposition to peaceable conduct. The shores of Dalmatia, and especially of the Bocche di Cattaro, a chain of lochs, as they would be called in Scotland, which extend altogether thirty miles in length among the high mountains of this coast, forming a series of well-sheltered harbours with deep water, have been described in explanation of the Views we lately engraved. We are indebted to Lieutenant H. S. Sitwell, , who was employed under the International Boundary Commission, in 1859 and 1860, to draw the frontier line of the Turkish and Montenegrin territories, for the sketch of the first harbour, with the islet and monastery of St. George, and another islet, as seen from the second harbour near Perasto'. From "Illustrated London News", 1870.
