Telegraphic despatches from Constantinople, of the It►th inst., state that the Sultan has demanded of I.ord Stratford the entrance of the fleet into the I►ar slattelles. and is said to have received an affirmative rept, It is furihrr repotted that the combined squadrons have been ordemil to the Dardanelles, but am not to enter the Black Sea except to repel any aggressive movement on the part of the Russian !Owes. The Malta Man, of the 7th, states that the sanitar'l• condition of Admiral Pundits's fleet hunt greatly improved. During the last month the Turks have east lee cannon of various calibre. which, with all their ac coutrements complete. have been sent to Adrianople. All the horses necessary were flu-nista-It by the Paellas of Constantinople. An army of reserve is in etturse of formation at Adrianople. This army will be composed of •!5,0tW1 Waifs from Constantinople; of B,lloovoluntivrs. who have inscribed their names at the Serwskeral; and of 15,000 Kurdish horsemen, all mounted and equipped at the expense of the Heys of Kurdistan. There are now miler arms about :tieMeto Mussulmans; vie., 110.1100 between the Da nube and the Balkan, 15.000 in Bosnia, 6,0001 men near Pristine, on the Servian frontier ; tektext turn who will be mustered at Adrianople: and from s 0 to 100,(U1 men on the frontier of Asia. It is said that &command in the Turkish army has been offered to Abd-el•Kader, but that precious to accepting it the Emir had wished to obtain lease from the French Emperor. A young Polish Jew, named Wolowski, has been arrested near Shumla. An important correspondence with Russian officers was found on his person, with detailed notes concerning the Ottoman annv. It ap pear: he was also in t•arnesjsindenee with several persons of the democretic party in Poland. lie was taken before Outer Nate, who, it is said, was about to hang hint forthwith.

Several Greeks, noto rious for their efforts in Russian propagandism, have received a similar order. The Russian subjects in Turkey were from the Ist of t October placed under the protection of Austria. The Porte was about to send a corps of observa tion to the Ureek frontier, mid another to the Persian frontier. I liner Paella has ►leclared that vessels sailing milt r a neutral ilag will be allowed to pass on the I)enul till the 25th inst. The appointment of Prince I'askiewitsch to the comma►►d in chief of the army against Turkey is con firmed. Thu Prince, it is stated, has obta►ned his request to have 44),1M won of the troops in Poland placed under his orders. Those troops are con sidered the best in the Russian service. Accord►ng to the German Journal of Frankfort, the Russians have on the frontiers of Asiatic Turks y -limas , regular troops, Ryas, irregular troops, and :NS si Cossacks. The Russians are fortifying the bridge which hes been thrown over the Danube near Braila, by meatus of a tite-de-pant, and two small forts at the end to wards Turkey. The main body of their army has taken up its winter quarters in the immediate vicinity Of Ilucliarest. The Wallachian Militia, who were detached along the bank of the I ►annbe, have been ordered to march upon Bucharest, where they will act ea a garrison. Immense barracks are being constructed on the banks of the Danube. General (iortsehakoff has demanded of the Prince a heavy sum of money for the eonstruction of these barracks, which has been paid. This expense will be included in the debt imposed on the country for the occupation a 114414 to The Wallachian Government is obligtd to contraet a debt of six millions of piastres (about (N►.tNNtl.) to meet the demands of General ttortseha. koff. The Russian fleet arrived at Odessa from Schasto. poi on the :trd inst., with the view, as it was believed, of embarking troops for Redoutkale. In censequence of the impediments to the na vigation of the Lower Danube, the mail is for the present to be sent to Semlin. Orsova, Bucharest, Rustchuck, Braila, Lealatz, and Constantinople by land. It is announced from Trieste that the Sultan has granted a firman for the construction of a canal from Rassova, on the Danube, where the river bends to the north, to Kestendje on the Black Sea. By this canal the difficult navigation of the mouths of the Danube will be spared to vessels descending the river to gain the Black Sea. The concession is to an English company. The Porte had till very recently flattered itself that the Persians would actively support Turkey in this war. It has, however, become known that the En- sians have intrigued very successfully to prevent this result. A Russian agent at the Court of the Shah has been spending great sums, and numerous decorations have been given. In consequence of these steps the dispositions of that Court have be come very equivocal; and the Persian camp. num bering 50.00) men, stationed at Sultanieh, on the Turkish frontiers, does not inspire the same confi dence as before. Unless the Turks gain some signal victories over the Russians. they must not reckon on Persian aid. The prestige attached to the Russians has greatly increased in Persia ever since their ex ploits in the Khanat de Khiva. CAPE OF GOOD Rory.. News from Cape Town to August Rh has been rc- ceived. Nothing ba , . occurred to check the activity which prevailed in all commercial affairs owing to the large continued shipments to Australia, the amount of business transactions during the last month or two being unprecedented.
