The Emperor Nicholas has sent a message to
Prince Itaniel. the N.lalika of Montenegro, requesting
his support. The war against the Turks, he urges,
is a sacred and patriotic eontest, and it was the duty
of the Montenegrins to take part in it.
In the principalities the Russian commander is
consolidating his oeettpation of the country. At a
review of the Wallachian militia held by Prince
Stirhev on the t!stli tilt. am intimation was rtveiveal
from Prince Gortschakod. of his wish that the militia
should join the Russians in their operations against
the Turks. Prince Stirbey replied, that the Walla-
chitin militia had to perform the duties of a garrison
and police in the country. and that they could not be
expected to tyke part in the campaign.
Subsequently it is stated that the Wal!seinen
troops, probably upon the arrival of a new " Minna
tion in some more forcible shape, took refuge in the
Carpathian mountains. where they have organised
themselves as guerillas. and obtained supplies of arms
and ammunition from Omer Paella. Prince Stirbey
quitted the principality and has arrived in Vienna.
His departure was officially unnaiunced to the repro
%connives of the foreign powers in Bucharest on the
19th nit. The Government is carried On by a coin.
mission, anal the Russians have seized all the public
funds anal treasuries.
The other liospodar, Prince I ahika, has also left
his principality, and was expected ill Vienna on Wed.
nasality. Before quitting Moldavia he haul wished to
entrust the Government to a council of notables, but
was told that this could not Is' allowed. The Rus-
sians have taken possession of the palace, the Go-
vennuent tallices, the archives, anal the exchequer.
The two Princes having been got rid of, Russian
agents traverse the country, carrying on a sort of
canvass for the Czar, and preparing a list of his sup-
posed adherents. The people are promised a remis-
sion of three fourths of the existing taxes, besides
the construction of railways anal telegraphs.
The Russian conionouler has notified that, "to
protect his army from the cupidity of mercenary
dealers,- the price of supplies will iu future be fixed
lay the Russian military authorities. The commo-
dities are, moreover, tat be paid for in bills instead of
cash. This order Melilla that the military authorities
shall fix their own prices on whatever they choose to
buy. Very low rates are of course adopted in this
compulsory tariff, and if any dealer ventures to ale •
mend more he is seized and dogged by the soldiers
who superintend the public markets.
From Odessa it is stated that the Turkish declara-
tion of war had made a very deep impression. For
three days business was totally at a standstill, and
even at low prices there were no buyers for grain,
so that the country people returned home again with
their stocks. There were immensely large stocks of
grain lying at. Odessa, partly in granaries, anal partly
heaped up in the streets. Upwards of 150 velowls
were hauling in the harbour, and in the roadstead;
but the means of transporting the grain to the ships
are at present. very insufficient ; so that a vessel of
2140 tons requires eight days to complete her ship-
ment. It was considered impossible to ship the
whole of the stock on hand this year.
A new screw line-of-battle ship of 100 guns, called
the Piiki-Zql.er, was launched on the Vogl nit. at
Constantinople, in presence of the Sultan, the Minis-
term, and several high functionaries. The Sultan
was afterwards present at the laying down of the
keel of another steam ship of al gnus, to be called
the Fetie.
According tat the Journal de Constantinople of the
2-Ith of oet., Turkey has six corps &armee which,
with Imperial
the Impeal Guard of Constantimapie, Roo-
tuella, Anatolia, Arabia, and Irak, will give a force
of 800,000, without reckoning the reserve, the
WOO irregulars, or the auxiliary contingents due
from the Itusso-Polish frontier.
The Porte has decreed that Austrian refugeer
shall not be employed in the army operations in
Europe. This measure is said to have been insisted
upon by Austria, as the price of her continued neu-
trality with regard to the Russian question.
Lord Worsley, Colonel Buckley, and other British
officers had left the capital to %kit I limier Paella at
his head-quarters.
The enthusiasm of the Sultan's subjects is not
confined to the Mussidmans, it also extends to the
Christians. The Bulgarians of Kisglise, having been
invited by the Pacha of Adrianople to furnish sup-
plies to the army at the current prices of the day,
offered to give them gratis, and begged of the Paella
to accept of them as a gift from those win, wished to
oppose the enemies of the Sultan. The shoemakers
of Adrianople requested to be allowed to fabricate
the shoes required for the unity, but declined the.
price of their own labours. l•pwarals of a thousand
shoemakers at Adrianople placed their services at
the disposal of the governor.
M. Aethimos, the new Greek upatriarelt at Con-
stantinople, accompanied by at great number of the
clergy and most respectable of his coreligionists,
proceeded on the evening of the 2lth ult. to the
residence of Rolsehid and handed to him an
