TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.

Intelligence to the 19th instant, from Constanti•
nople, states that Rudchi Paella had been appointoJ
Minister at War, in place of Kiamil Pacba.
The Paris lifoniteur of Wednesday announced
that the Turkish Government has sent to the Kai
makan of Moldavia orders to annul the elections
which lately took place in that province, to revise
the electoral lists in the sense of the interpretations
agreed on at Bucharest, and to proceed to new elec •
Lions after a delay of fifteen days.
The diplomatic relations which had been broken
off between the representatives of France, Russia,
Prussia, and Sardinia, on the one part, arid the Porte
on the other, will very shortly be resumed.
This news completely disposes of the assertions
of several German journals that any further elections
in the Principalities would be dispensed with, and
that the Paris Congress would meet in the first fort-
night of September to settle the question of the
Union by virtue of its inherent sovereign power.
The Emancipation of Brussels gives the following
explanation of the reasons the resolutions come to
at Osborne have not received their full execution, as
far•as regards the resumption of diplomatic relations
at Constantinople. It says :
The Cabinets of London and Vienna, e'er having con-
sented at the request of France to call, like the other
powers, fur the annulment of the elections of Moldavia,
have not thought it necessary to recall their ambassadors.
On the Mho- has d, notwithstanding the difficulties of a
situation which obliges them to support a system which
they had warmly opposed, Lord Stratiord de Redcliffe and
Count Prokesch do not appear in any war• disposed to
tender their resignations. It was therefore indispensable
to Snd a combination which would at the same time satisfy
actual necessities and show ►ufficient consideration to
general susceptibilities. According to the Auglibury
Gazelle this is the course to be pursued. Austria and Eng-
land, having each demanded from the Porte the annulment
of the elections of Moldavia, the Government of the Sultan
will no longer hesitate to proceed to fresh elections, and
will hasten to make known its resolutions to France,
Russia, Prussia, and Sardinia. The above four powers
will afterwards authorise their representatives to resume
their diplomatic relations with the Turkish Government,
giving it the assurance that their only of jest was to secure
the strict execution of the Treaty of Paris, without having
the slightest intention to interfere in the internal affitirs of
Turkey. The diplomatic rupture will then give place to
the resumption of friendly relations between the Porte and
the other European powers.

ThP Austrian Government has created the post of
special attache at the einbas,y at Constantinople for
military affairs, and to that post Colonel Lowenthal
has been appointed.
