POSTSCRIPT. 1U AND TURKEY. Intelligence that the Turkish forces had actually crossed the Danube was received in London early in the week, and afterwards contradicted. The state ment is, however, now confirmed. The passage took place on the 27th of October, when a body of about 30,010 Turks crossed the river near Within' and took possession of Kalafat, a village of Little Wallachia, without resistanee. Omer Pacha had prey' .ly issued a proclamation to his soldiers exhorting them " to sacrifice body and soul for their religion and their government:' Telegraphic despatches fyom Vienna dated Thurs day evening Mate that the Danubian principalities are declared in a state of siege. Martial law is Fro claimed. All intercourse with the Turks is pro hibited on pain of death. Reports of a battle on the Asiatic frontier have also arrived, but in a very unauthentic shape. The Piuisleonxtitationnel contains some particulars of the affair at Isacteha on the 23rd, from which it would appear that the Russians were apprised by Omer Pacha that if their vessels continued to convey provisions and stores to the principalities lie should resist them. Thus the affair originated. The Turks having opened a fire upon the Russian flotilla, the cannonade was returned by General bidets' corps from the left bank of the Danube, and the fort set on tire. The Russians afterwards lauded, fifty killed and wounded. Letters from Bucharest of October 22 state that Prince Gortschakoff had left for Krajowa. his de. parture produced a profound sensation. A battle was expected in that direction. Krajowa was full of Russian troops, and 10,0 tat foot, and sonic regiments of horse and artillery, were expected to reinforce them. A line of Cossack couriers has been estab lisped between Kajowa and Bucharest. The Truppau Gazette (a Silesian journal I says the Russian have seized upon the Wallachian banks, and especially the military treasure. From Constantinople, on the 25th ult.. it is reported that the combined fleets lay at Lapsuki, in the Dar danelles. A refugee tumult had taken place at Pere. Namik Pacha had left for Paris and London, charged with a special mission from the Porte. Prince Stirbey and his son arrived. on the 21th ult., at Hermannstadt, on their way to Vienna. Lord Redeliffe, it is said, had an audience of your hours with the Sultan on the Pith ult., and has at length been invested with full powers to act as cir cumstances may require, and cenfonnubly with his own well-known policy. Late accounts from Vienna say that the Earl of Westmoreland had received from Constantinople an assurance that the representatives of the four !wavers had succeeded in their efforts to luring the Divan to pacific sentiments, and that positive orders had been sent to Omer Paella not to commence hostilities, the ambassadors having satisfied the Divan that the Em peror of Russia had promised to make no offensive movement whilst waiting the result of their efforts in favour of peace at Constantinople. THE PRESS. An article in the Journal de Eranefort, which evi dently proceed: from the Austrian Cabinet, s tat es that Austria resllllle 4 the taut of mediation, having re et fresh NIA positive assurances front the Cabinet of Russia that the Emperor has no desire to encroach on the integrity of the Ottoman empire, or to attack in any way the sovereign rights of the Sultan. The Russian Ambassador at Paris is reported to hate said that the army in the principalities has re• ceiveil positive orders to refrain from as suming th e otrensive. anti even to avoid as lunar as possible any conflict of outposts. Ile states that it is utterly im possible for the Porte, unless it be mad. to reject the new proposition of the four powers, whir+ remoy all the objections made by the Divan to the primitive note of Vienna. The Patric of Thursday states from Vienna that the new Austrian loan has been taken by some' bank ing houses of st. Petersburg. Baron Prokesch has gone from Vienna to Berlin. for the purpose of inducing the Prussian 60%er-o ment to join Attstria in a tieelittldiou on the p o sition of the two powers in the Oriental rittestion, tool to prefer this declaration at the sittings of the Berman It appears, however, that Prussia refuses to pledge herself to anything. even to a declaration.

Wednesday evening an avoid. t which t 4lThialtied with loss of life, occurred to one of the supernume raries at Astley's, named ileorge Palmer, and what is the more to be regretted is, that he was entirely the cause of it. himself, through his own folly and foolhardiness. It appeals that he was entrusted with a headed gun to tire off in some part of the performance, and whilst behind the scenes he had, on fornvr oecitsions, amused the other supernu meraries by applying the muzzle of the gun to his mouth, and, placing the nipple near the gaslight, ex tinguished the gas by suddenly blowing the finer parts of the loose charge through the touchhole. This was considered quite a feat in its way, and on the night in question he proceeded to do it again. Ile was urgently requested to desist, and cau tioned as to the dangerous nature of the " He, however, would not be interfered with by those around him, and, MI apply jug the touch hole to the gaslight, he unfortunately inhaled his breath, which drew the flame down to the priming, and the charge instently exploded, with the muzzle of the piece in his !eolith, injuring him and mutilating him in a frightful manner—in fact. he was %lob-tidy forced several yards across the place where he was standing, and fell bleeding and in. sensible on the doer of the !went. Assistance being at band, he was immediately conveyed to the West minster Hospital, and attended by Mr. Flaxon, the: house surgeon. who found, upon examination, that the roof of the mouth had been completely blown away and the whole face horribly lacerated, some of the !smiler having forced away a portion of the muscles and integuments at the back of the neck.
