I:I'%;STA .INl► TURKEY.

Telegraphic despatches revived early in the week.
and almost simultanmatsly in London, Paris, and
Vienna, announced that the Emperor of Russia had
accepted the prt)positions transmitted from Vienna,
and to which the four powetN haul given their adhe-
sion. The sense in which this intelligence must lee
interpreted will be gathered from the explanatious
given in Parliament by Lord Clarendon, and which
we publish elsewhere. It seems that the actual
draft of the propositions was not sent from Vienna
till the 2nd inst., the very day of the reported "ac-
ceptance " by the Emperor in St. Petersburg ; but,
a programme containing the outline of the arrange-
ments therein suggested lout been sent in advance,
and elicited some expressions of approval which were
tantamount to an aeceptation of the terms proposed.
Another copy of the propositions was on the same
day forwarded to Constantinople, so that the complete
adoption of the plan waits for the express consent of
the Porte, of which there seems to be little doubt.
Though the precise terms of the arrangement.
thus proposed, on which thee British Minister pre-
served so mysterious a silence in the house, are yet
unknown, its leading features have transpired through
the diplomatic correspondence received in Paris and
Vienna. The Morning Post gives, in am authoritative
form, the following particulars:—
" The definitive project of settlement was sent from
Vienna to Constantinople on the same day that it was
sent to St. Petersburg—that is, on the '2nd inst. The
acceptance of the Czar will be received at Vienna about
the 1-Ith. This will, of course, at se 1w 111.1411bilielle.d to
Constantinople, where it will arrive about the Vile. A
Turkish ambassador will be ready then to start for St.
Petersburg; and we understand that, as soon as the
telegraph informs the Russian Govennncut of the fiat of
thee ambassador being on his road, the. Emperor will tele-
graph his orders to Prince Gorbuffiaked tee evacuate the
Danubian provinces. These telegraphs, living for the.
most part old semaphores, will, of emirs., mint work with
the same speed as the electric; but they and the course Of
events will be sufficiently rapid tee warrant us in experting
that by the lath met' September the last Russian soldier
will have recrossed the Pritth."

" The mode of settlement will be this
Pacl►a will address to Count Xesselrab• a note, in which
he will enclose the s,in which im aco►ded to the
Greek Christians, subjects of the sultan, more pri►•ileges
than even Russia had asked for them. He will say nuu►y
civil things to the Czar, and assure him of the excellent
disposition of the Sultan towardshis own snbjects, to whom
he has accorded such and such rights. This mote will he
presented by a Turkish ambassador, and the affair will be
at an cud.

" conclusion will thus be favourable to Turkey, be.
cause she will have succeeded iu rejeeting the p►esrare of
Russia for some kind of synallagmatie arrangement which
odiould give the Czar a right of interference between the
Sultan and his own subjects."

This event deprives the news from Constantinople
of nearly all its interest. The latest advises thence,
dated the Ist inst., announce that the Sultan had
issued a manifesto to his subjects. calling upon then►
to place their entire confidence in the wisdom and
sagacity of his Government. It is also stated that a
new ultimatum had been auldressed by the l'orte to
Russia. But this despatch left Constantinople many
days before the propositions of the four powers would
have been received there.

Letters from Sebum's give a flourishing account
of the state of the Turkish army on the frontier.
Omer Paella, the commander-in .chief, had established
a military cordon of 70,000 men, extending from
llabadaszh to Schinnla, and joining the entrenched
camp formed there, composed of IM batteries, each
numbering from 40 to 50 guns, heavy artillery, and
defended by 50,000 men, forming the centre of the
anny. The right wing of this army had its quarters

at. Silistria, and was composed of 80A0(1 men; whilst
the rearguard, formed of a similar number of men,
was eneamped at Altos. Sebum's has been rendered
next to impregnable. This stronghold, which is well
situated as a strategical point, and on aceount of the
climate, contains already provisions for li:0,000 men
and -10,000 horses for the term of two years. The
fortress of Silistria has also been fully placed on •
war footing.
The celebrated Turkish financier, Naar. 'Whit,

years, with a few intervals. he had been Minister of
