RUSSIA AND TURKEY..

The French pipers publish th► Mowing lanofticial
telegraphic despatch whicha has been rtiesired via
Trieste :

" Constantinople, Sept. S.—The Hospodar has re-
ceived the Sultan's authorisation to remain in his
principality."
The despatch does not say whether it is the Hos-
podar of Moldavia c .r of Wallachia to whom allusion
is made. But the concession mentioned is a matter
of course ; the ordi yr to leave their poets given to the
ims was only',imed to safeguard the rights of the
Porte.

The Vienna . Press publishes the subjoined re-
markable intelli germ ;
" BUCTIABEIr e, SEPT. 4.—Prince Glortschakoff has
held a review •of the Russian troops. The Hospodar,
StieheYi had received en invitation to attend, but
sent an excus
"The Ike sin Commander-in-Chief has addressed
an order o f the day to the troops, in which he
peek*, the .ir fidelity, and exhorts them to remain I
faithful to , their oath and to the Czar. The order
concluder with the following words Russia is
called to annihilate Paganism, and those who would
Wen ter in that sacred missionshallbe annihilated
with U le Pagans. Long life to the Czar ! Long life
vo the God of the Russians!'"
W. no are the Pagans here referred to? Prince
Gee .schakoff must know very well that the Mussul-
OW iis no Pagan. Sent to conduct a religious war,
he should know whom he is going to fight. If there
v. one thing on which the Koran insists more
'strongly than another, it is in ,condemning Paganism
and idolatry.
The telegraphic despatch I.vhich was published on
Tuesday, In a large portir in of our impression, is
given, In the French page rs with an addition which
will be remarked below:
"VIENNA, SEPT. 13.- —The Russian Cabinet ha.
definitively refused to accept the modifications de-
manded by the Porte.. A new memorandum from
Russia is expected.*
It has been Bur osted that the words " a new
memorandeln.hwee Russia is expected" tend to show
that the period of negotiation is not over. This
however doea n of follow from the words, whether
probable or not in itself. A memorandum in diplo-
macy is not W.j overture, but a statement of facts and
reasons.

It is kno•,vn that the Porte has expressed a desire
that the fa ur powers should guarantee that Russia
shall not oe allowed at any future time to take an
improper advantage of the concessions that may be
made *.o her in the settlement of the Eastern question.
The Weser Gazette states that the cabinet of Vienna
111.1* refused to be a party to any guarantee of this
nd. The project of such a guarantee to be given
'.3y the powers was, in the first instance, put forward
by the Austrian government; but that was in IMO,
when those who directed the policy of the empire
were wisely distrustful of Russian professions.
The Wonderer of Vienna of the 11th has the fol-
lowing :
"A Russian corps erarmele, 30,000 strong, has
been for some days at Krajowo, on the Bulgarian
frontier. Until now there have been, throughout the
whole extent of the Russian empire, but eight com-
missariats for the arming, clothing, and victualling
the troops; but the Russian government has just
created a ninth commissariat, with Bucharest for its
head-quarters. This measure is of the highest im-
portance, and is far from indicating an intention on
the part of Russia to evacuate the Principalities."
