RUSSIA AN D TURKEY.

The immediate Issue of the eastern crisis depend-
ing u:. the kind of reception to be given by the Czar
to the advances of Tin key, is still necessarily de-
lved. Speculatiou. of course, is busy, anticipating
the Russian decision, but no new fact., capable of
affarCing a firm basis on whicli to found expectation,
have transpired. All the letters received from Con-
stantinople continue to bear witness to a state of the
popular mind fraught with the greatest danger to
civil teaming:4. 'the Ottoman population arc disap-
pointed at the inaction of the government, and what
to them appears to be the weakness or bad faith of
the allies. The Greeks, on the other hand, are elate
and insolent, and exalt the power of Russia higher
than ever. Upon these per.lous elements, the agents
of Russia are daily operating, and the observant
are alarmed when they perceive how small a cause
might provoke an explosion.

A letter from Smyrna, of the 17th, in a Marseilles
journai, announces the departure of Ali l'acha, the
late governor, after receiving an address from the
European colony. On the day on which he left, the
commis displayed their Hags, and the vessels of war
fired a salute—with the exception, however, of the
Austrian consul, and the commander of the Austrian
vessel. The letter then proceeds to say :
The inves:igation into the assassination of Baron d'Advl-
b:rg is t.rinii.ated. A!I the accused nave contrived to evade
arrest. The Austrian consul, M. Welabccker, insisted that
the chiefs of the emigration should be hastimula, d ; but Lie
Esc...honey th.erib-Effendi refused, saying, "It' they be
guilty the y w i.I he prusecut«l; if innocent, what is the use
of this cruelty'" The arrest of a Hungarian refugee at
Beyrout, seinen truk place recently, nearly gave rise to
scenes as plotab:e as those of Smyrna. The r. fugee, ac-
companied by his wife and his children, embarked on booed
the Austrian e:camer the Lloyds. Thu captain inimediate4
signithd to him, in the name ails, c maul, that he arrested
hiw, and would convey him to Trieste. The Hungarian
protest. d, imel then, appearing to submit to his destiny, he
withdrew to a coiner, and waiting until he saw that he was
not watched, threw himself into the sea. A boatman
picked him up and conveyed him to the consulate of the
United States. There, proving by his passport that he was
entitled to American protection, he was received. Thanks
to the energy of the American consul, the wife and chil-
dren of the Hungarian, shorn the captain wished to keep
on board, were restored to liberty, and arrived at Smyrna
yesterday by the French steamer.

IiRANCE.

FRIDATEVEMNO.

There is an almost universal distrust of the news
said to have been brought by the Caradoc. The go-
vernment journals, especially, all throw discredit upon
it and ask how it is possible that intelligence of
Russia having accepted a proposition of Austria
could have rtaelied Constantinople, while St. Peters •
burg, Vienna, London, and Paris were ignorant of
it. It appears, however, that although, as I stated
yesterday, the Ceradoc left Constantinople be-
fore the Alexander, she may have brought later
news. She left on the 11th, but was detained
several days at Besika, and despatches from Con-
stantinople of the 20th overtook her in that port. It
was reported on the Bourse to-day that another
steamer, the Chaptal, which sailed from Con-
stantinople on the 21st, had arrived at Mar-
seilles with intelligence confirming the ver-
sion given by the Cuurrier de Marseille of the
Caradoc's despatches. These despatches were e
once sent by Captain I)erriman to Mr. Tucker, with
orders to post from Avignon to Chalon, and to take
special trains if necessary to proceed on to London.
The telegraphic despatches received to-day from
Germany make confusion worse confounded. One
dated Vienna, July 27, says that the Divan has
accepted propositions of M. de Bruck, stipulating for
the evacuation of the Principalities; another
of the same date affirms that the repre-
sentatives of the powers have entered into
• formal engagement with each other to obtain
from Russia a counter-declaration that she

..--
does not mean to infringe the sovereignty of the
Sultan. In all this, the great question, " What will
Russia do?" remains far from clear, but we know by
certain intelligence from St. Petersburg that since all
these negotiations have been going on at Vienna and
Constantinople, Russia has manifested pretty strongly
that she will not quit the provinces till all is settled
to her satisfaction, and that she will give no counter-
declaration. One of the rumours on the Bourse to-
day, however, was, that favourable news had been
received last night from General Castelbajac.
M. Corti, the manager of the Italian Opera, has
tendered his resignation to the Minister of State,
upon the ground that the expenses of the theatre are
such that it is impossible to carry it on upon the pre-
sent footing. M. Corti applied some time since for
an increased grant from the state, or at least the use
of the theatre rent free. _

A considerable crowd yesterday repaired to the
plain of Satory, where the Emperor was to command
the troops at a grand review, given in honour of
Queen Christina. At three o'clock his Majesty arrived
on horseback, accompanied by Marshal de St. Arnaud,
Minister of War, and a numerous staff. A few
instants after appeared an imperial open carriage,
with four horses and postilions, in which were seated
the Empress and Queen Christina. Several other
of the imperial carriages followed, bringing the ladies
of the court, and all took up their station on a slight
eminence, on the left, in front of the farm of Satory.
The horses having been taken from the carriages,
the manceuvres commenced. The troops present con-
sisted of two divisions of infantry (16 battalions),
of the division of cavalry of Versailles (4 regi-
ments), and three batteries of artillery. The
Emperor, taking the command, put these troops
with great ability through a variety of manoeuvres,
representing an attack on an enemy's position, in
which all the various troops took part, and which
was supposed to prove successful. One part of the
proceedings excited general admiration, being a charge
of the whole of the cavalry in lice, and their stopping
suddenly at the word of command, within a few yards
of the Empress's carriage. After the manoeuvres,
the Emperor passed along the troops, and ex-
pressed the satisfaction which he felt at their fine
appearance and soldierlike bearing. His Majesty
then placed himself near the carriage in which the
Empress was seated, and the troops filed off before
him, with cries of " Viva l'Empereur! Vive l'lmpis-
ratrice!" The imperilarty then left the ground,
apparently much pleased at what they had seen.
Amongst the personages present were, Marshal Nar-
viten, the Duke de ltianzares, the Spanish Ambassa-
dor, and several foreign officers.
At the Bourse to-day a favourable reaction took
