TURKEY.

The Sublime Forte and the four allied powershave
finally come to a decision regarding the governorship
of the principalities, which is to remain, as formerly,
in the hands of the Hospodars Stitbey and Prince
(Mika. In consequence of this decision an order has
bun transmitted to Belgrade, which arrived on the
19th inst., immediately to suspend all armaments and
military preparations. It was confidently stated that
another order would shortly follow for a disarmament.
This intelligence was forwarded at once to Prince
Alexander.

SATURDAY,

Several Turkish officers, sent by Omer Pacha, are
expected at Orsova, to put themselves in communica-
tion with the Austrian generals, respecting the even-
tual occupation of Wallachia by the Austrian forces.
The commission named by the Porte to inquire
into the practicability of setting up a telegraph be
tween Constantinople, Belgrade, and Schumla, has
nearly completed its report, which is favourable to
the plan.
The marriage of Ali Malib Pacha (Redschid
Pacha's son) to the Sultan's daughter is broken off,
or at least put off for a year. This is a great piece
vf gossip for the newsmongers of Stamboul. Redschid
Pasha is much disappointed by this delay.
The British frigate Triton has captured a pirate
manned by fifteen Greeks near Negroront. During
the chase the pirates abandoned their vessel, and
took to their boats ; hut, when they landed at Negro-
pont, the inhabitants surrounded and captured thm,
and gave them up to the English.

RUSSIA.
The invalide Busse contains a long article, filling
several of its columns, describing the extraordinary
success that has attended the Emperor's mandate for
the formation of the sea-fencibles and the manning
of the flotilla of row-boats. The object is to protect
the Finnish coast, and, in order to have crews of sea
men for the gun-boats in question, volunteers were
invited to enlist from the four governments of St.
Petersburg, Novgorod, Tver, and Olonez.
A number of promotions have taken place among
the Russian officers at Bomarsund, as a reward for
their exertions in repelling the attack of the
British.
A courier frcm St. Petersburg arrived on the 12th
at Bucharest, where he was met by Prince Gort-
schakoff. The Czar, it is stated, has approved the
new plan of campaign submitted to him by the
Prince, to whom the courier brought., it is added, a
very flattering letter. The Russians are to resume
offensive operations, and the Prince has received
orders to drive back the Turks at any price across
the Danube.
Several officials of the Russian Post-office arrived
at Jassy from St. Petersburg on the 13th, to under-
take the duties of the Moldavian functionaries, whom
they supersede. The archives of the Russian
consulate have been sent away to St. Petersburg.
The Russians say Moldavia will never require again
a Russian consulate. All the arrangements made
for the administration of Bessarabia are to be intro-
duced into that principality. Fresh troops continue
to arrive from Bessarabia. The route, however,
has been changed ; instead of going as formerly to
the Sereth, they now take the direction of Galatz and
Ibraila.
General Orloff, who has so often been reported
dead, and who was in reality severely wounded at
Kalarash, has received the Order of St. George from
the Emperor Nicholas. The count is at present at
Bucharest, and is in a fair way of recovery.
EGYPT.
The late Viceroy of Egypt, Abbas Pacha, was found
dead non his divan, on tho morning of the 14th inst.,
the day following the departure of his son, El Barfly
Pacha, for England. Many reports obtained circula-
tion respecting the cause of his death, but there
seems no reason to believe that the event was the
result of other than natural causes. Said Pacha,
tl e eldest son of Mehemet Ali, to whom the succes-
sion was assured by treaties, has been proclaimed
Viceroy. He has travelled a great deal in Europe,
and his government will probably be at least as
favourable to European commercial interests as that
of his predecessor.
The Ulemas offered some strong opposition to the
accession of Said Pacha, thinking that the late Vice-
roy's son had higher claims; but owing to the per-
suasions of the English and French consuls all
further opposition was abandoned. The new Viceroy,
attended by the Consuls-General of France, Prussia,
Spain, and Portugal, has left for Cairo, where he in-
tended to remain a few days, and upon his return
would embark for Constantinople, to pay his homage
to the Sultan.
In consequence of the death of Abbas Pacha, his
son, who bad reached Malta en route for England,
left that island on the 22nd with his suite, and re-
turned to Alexandria.
INDIA AND CHINA.
An overland mail has brought papers and letters
from India, China, and Australia, of the following
dates :—Calcutta, June 13; Bombay and Madras,
June 20; China, June 0; Australia, Nay 30. The
intelligence is not of particular importance. India
throughout appears to be in a state of perfect reps:
even the Nizam's dominions are quiet; and in
Burmah the Dacoits have ceased to be troublesome.
The King, it is said, has expressed a desire to be
upon friendly terms with the British authorities.
The weather was very tdho at Ran goo n, the ther-
mometer standing at 108 egrees in the coolest

houses.
The telegraph between Calcutta and Bombay was
not yet in working order, and great disappointment
