This sews relates to the attitude assumed by Austria in
the question which for the last three months has threatened
the very existence of the Ottoman empire, and kept all
Europe in suspense. We are informed that instead of con-
fining himself t , a pacific intervention between the Sultan
and the Czar, instead of proposing the mediation so con-
fidently reckoned upon, which appeared to be the only
object of M. de Bruck's mission to Constantinople, and
Count Giulay's 111116011 to St. Petersburg, the Austrian in-
ternuncio in Turkey renewed the demands addressed some
time since to the Turkish government in the name of
the Court of Vienna by Count Leiningen. The Austrian
ambassador, it is said, demands of the Porte the
immediate payment of five millions of piastres as an indem-
nity, probably on account of the affair of Montenegro.

Vague and alarming accounts reach Constantinople
from Sebastopol. It was rumoured on the 27th at
the Turkish capital that the Russian fleet was ap-
proaching the Bosphorus, and the Turkish govern-
ment, in its uncertainty as to the intentions of
Russia, considered it necessary to keep a sharp look
out in the Black Sea and keep up frequent commu-
nications with the fleets in Besika Bay. It has
never been doubtful that, in case of en advance upon
Constantinople, the naval forces of France and Eng-
land would be at the service of the Sultan.

The Ticinese Gazette of the Ist announces that
the Federal Commissioner, Colonel Bourgeois, not
having been able to come to an understanding with
the authorities of Lombardy in favour of the silk-
spinners of Ticino, has sought the means of procuring
them work in Piedmont. A company is forming in
consequence for the purpose of employing about 120
women in the manufacture of silk. M. Itasca,
Councillor of State, has been very active in the
matter, and both he and Colonel Bourgeois have
applied to the Federal Government for a loan of
100,0001 r. to the company, guaranteed by the canton
of Ticino, and to be reimbursed in two years.

BERLIN, JULY 6.

The Zollverein Conference was opened to-day.
The ministerial Zeit. contains an article on the
Russian ukase. According to M. Manteuffel's paper,
this manifesto is a " world-historical document."

The appeal to a sort of divine vocation to defend the
Greek church fixes irrevocably the course to be fol-
lowed by the Czar. Henceforth every other consi-
deration is secondary. No endeavours of the powers,
friendly or hostile, can turn him aside—no, not a
hair's breadth. He must and will insist on the literal
fulfilment of that which he asks. So far the Zeit.
Pity that men cannot imitate the Godlike resolution
which they praise. Pity that firmness and constancy
should be monopolised by the Czar. It was not thus
that Old Fritz reckoned. If forty years ago these
craven sentiments had been in fashion, Helena had
never received her Great Exile. It seems as if the
fatalisms with which the Turks arc reproached had
seized upon the cabinets of Europe.
