MOST IMPORTANT FROM TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, June W. —Great excitement pre-
vails here. The Sultan, in consequence of the rumours
that the whole Russian fleet has left Sebastopol and
is directing its course towards the Bosphorus, has
inquired of the Ambassadors of England and France
whether, in the event of the Russians making
a demonstration before the Bosphorus, the combined
fleets aro ready to pass the Dardanelles. Lord Strat
ford de &deli& and M. do la Cour at once replied
in the affirmative.

A swift Turkish steamer has just been sent into
the Black Sea to reconnoitre. She has on board of
her both English and French officers.
Her return is looked for with the greatest excik: •
ment, as the Ambassadors have declared that, if sh•
bring the news that a Russian force is coining towards
the Bosphorus, the fleets of England and France
shall, without an instant's delay, pass the Dardanelles,
and be placed at the entire disposition of the Porte.

plete stagnation. All attention is absorbed b 7 the
Oriental question, which, since the warlike manifesto
of the Emperor of Russia, has decidedly inclined to

the question could lead to active hostilities, mikes
through the occurrence of events now unforeseen.

celebration of the marriage of the Duke of Brabant
in August next. The event will be marked by a

fight, with taurontaeliff engaged for the purpose from
Spain, will not be the least furious.

Catholic ecclesiastical dignitaries appears likely to
find a speedy solution. A note, of which copies haw
been seen in political circles, has been addressed by
Cardinal Antonelli to the Dutch Minister at Rome,

ment. In Lois note the Cardinal Secretary of State
not only promises that the newly appointed bishops
shall take the oath, but even under a form specially
modified, to satisfy the susceptibility of the Protes-
tant part of the population. At the same time the
new archbishop is permitted to abstain front taking
his seat at Utrecht, and to remain in his present
residence at Bois•le-Due. It is supposed that these
two concessions will satisfy the Cabinet.
