THE GERMAN PAPERS ON THE EASTERN

QUESTION.

The friends of peace, among whom we take a pride
in numbering ourselves, found the most cheering hopes
upon the representations which have been made to Russia
by a power friendly to Prussia, and by the sending the
Austrian general, Count Giulay, to St. Petersburg.—rimes
of Berlin.

We learn that the object of sending Count Giulay to St.
Petersburg is to come to an understanding with the Rus-
sian government, in the event of war resulting from the
eastern question.—Priustan Gazette.

The Count de Bruck, the Austrian Internuncio, has ar-
rived at Constantinople. The presence of this diplomatist
was anxiously desired by all interested in the maintenance

of peace. Count de Bruek immediately put himself in
communication with the Grand Vizier, to whom he gay,
the most satisfactory assurances of the friendly attitude of
Austria.—Postal Gazette.

On arriving at Constantinople Count de Bruck had a
long interview with the Orand Vizier. Austria demands
from Turkey the payment without delay of a stale claim of
five millions of piastres and the cession of two ports on the
Albanian court.—lV•tnderer of Vienna.

The cotry of the troops into the Moldo-Wallachi►n pm.
eintfes is not ►n act of war. The Emperor of Russia clearly
affirms this in hie manifesto. We are sure that no one will
be found in Europe to doubt the sincerity and gool faith of
the Czar.--You Gazette.

The entry of the Russians is a sort of execution inflicted
AT the Czar upon a power inferior to him.—Allgemeine
Zettung.

Nobjidy doubts for en instant of the pacific solution of
the Eastern question. Subject to some concessions in point
of form, Turkey will accept the Russian ultimatum, and
Russia will do all in her power to bring to a happy termi-
nation a dispute which alarms so many interests. The Czar
has given too many proofs of his ardent desire to maintain
peace for it to be possible to believe that he will do other-
wise than continue the same policy.—Franl.fort Jeerers:.
The Emperor has said it. He will defend the orthodox
church. Words such as these are not spoken in vain. They
admit of no species of retractation. The Czar having pro-
nounced these words, cannot give up the slightest particle
of what he has asked for in their name. He must persist
in exacting the literal and absolute fulfilment of his de-
mands.— Times, of Berlin.
That Russia is in the wrong is indisputable, but it is
evident that she is a power not to be humiliated. Russia
is therefore wrong for not being in the right, but she must
have her way because she is in the wrong.—Austrian
Lloyd's.

PARIS WEDNESDAY EVENING.

The Journal des Di,bate says the date of M. de
Nesselrode's circular, June 20, has been erroneously
supposed to be the old style, and therefore July 2 of
the present calendar, whereas it was really dated on
the 20th of last month, and was communicated to Lord
Clarendon by Baron Brunnow on the 3rd or 4th
of July, four or five days before Lord Palmerston
asked Mr. Layard to withdraw his motion. fhe De-
ituste, therefore, draws the inference that the document
must not be considered a new and unexpected
element of the situation. In making this
assertion, the Debate has fallen into an
extraordinary error. It is evident that the date of
the last circular must have been according to the
Greek calendar, for we know that the rejection of the
ultimatum by the Porte to which it m.kes allusion,
was not known in St. Petersburg until June
25. Moreover, Lord John Russell's statement in the
House of Commons on Monday night excludes the
possibility of the circular having been communicated
to Lord Clarendon at the beginning of the month, for,
had this document been brought to his attention at a
cabinet council, Lord John could never have denied
that it made the withdrawal of the fleets a condition
precedent to the evacuation of the Danubian Princi-
palities. The .lloniteur does not publish the circular
or make any allusion to it. The official journal, while
abstaining from the expression of any opinion of its
own, makes extracts of unprecedented length
from the English papers. Every day all the
most important articles bearing upon the Turkish
question arc reproduced, precedence being always
given to the most energetic. An article by Grimier
de Caseagnac, in the Constitati9nnel,hal made a great
sensation to day. It begins as follows :
We heartily wish we could share the confidence which
the last note of the cabinet of St. Petersburg seems to
have inspired in the financial world. Wo can
form no judgment of the various reports more
or less re-assaring, upon which men of business
rely, because we are unacquo'nted with them. Our judg-
ment is based upon the actual situation, and not upon
private letters, and the last Russian note aroma to us to
dispel the serious hopes Ma definitive peaceable settlement,
which were founded upon the good offices of one power, and
the moderation of all.

After exposing the fallacious reasoning and impu-
dent pretensions of the note, he says:—
If, as M. de Nesse'rode says, this note, or in other
words this abdication uf the Sultan, is the "sole and true
reparation which the Ca a can accept," if such
an act is " indispersible" for the maintenance of
peace, then every manlof sense:must consider war as already
declared. Russia was the first to speak of war and invasion,
and the whole responsibility of it will fall on her, and if God
so please, the effects also.
There is no confirmation of the report of Austria
j having claimed from Turkey five millions of piastres,
! and the two ports in the Adriatic; but we learn to-
' day, that, in consequence of the affair at Smyrna,
Baron de Bruck has demanded the expulsion
of all the Austrian refugees in the Ottoman empire.
It is confirmed that the American captain has re-
quired M. Costa to be given up to him.
The Imperial Council of Public Instruction has
I been convoked fur the 20th July, the session to close
on the 11th of August next.
A telegraphic despatch from Brest announces that
a grand banquet had been given to the Minister of
Marine, who was to embark last night for Lorient.
At the Bourse to-day the market has been dull,
with a downward tendency in prices. The Three
per Cents. fell 45c., and the Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. 60c., both for cash ; whilst for the account
