THE OVERLAND MAIL.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Paris correspondent of a contemporary makes
the astonishing assertion that the British government
has offered its forces to coerce the Turks who oppose
the verdict of the conference of Vienna. The corre-
spondent says : " A courier arrived here yesterday
(Wednesday) morning, bringing the decision come
to the day before, the 13th, by the four ministers
who met on that day, namely, Lord Aberdeen, Lord
John Russell, Lord Clarendon, and Lord Palmer-
ston. Another courier took his departure for Mar-
reilles, with orders to embark there at once, beating
a despatch for Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, which,
it is said, in a well-informed quarter,
enjoins him to employ every possible means
to induce the Sultan to accept, with-
out delay, the note of Vienna without modi-
fication. In case the Porte should object that she
was no longer able to keep in the populations, his
lordship is authorised to allow the English squadron
to enter the Bosphorus, and to disembark troops for
the purpose of causing the decision of the Sultan to
be respected. A courier also is to bo at once de-
spatched to Omer Pacha, forbidding him to commence
hostilities in any way. Yesterday, at St. Cloud,
the Emperor and his ministers deliberated on the de-
cision of the English cabinet, and decided on adopt-
ing the same course. The deliberation, I understand,
was a lengthened one; indeed, so much so, that the
Emperor was obliged to keep Queen Christina and
the Prince de Carignan, with whom he had fixed an
audience, waiting for some time. The great cause of
anxiety for the moment is that the courier thus sent
off may arrive too late."
Our correspondent at Brussels writes : " The
chief question in our political—not to say diplo-
matic—circle is, will the work of the Vienna
conference be carried out, or will that conference be
reckoned amongst the things that were, now that
its proposals have failed of success in Constantinople?
With great tact, and a ready appreciation of his
present advantageous position, the Emperor of Rus-
sia would fain persuade the other great powers that
they are bound in honour to resent the late conduct
of the Porte, and to consider its rejection of the
Austrian note, as drawn up in Vienna under the
eyes of the conference, as an insult to themselves.
If the views of the Czar be shared by those powers
ho will expect them to send a collective note to Con-
stantinople, showing the positive necessity of the
Sultan's seceding to the Vienna propositions without
insisting on any modifications. If England and
France, on the other hand, consider that the Vienna
conference was merely an experiment, to be tried
like auy other, and that they are under no obligation
to enforce the decision—if such a term may be em-
ployed—of that conference, then, such is the opinion
in well-informed circles here, the Emperor of Rue-
. .

sin will make a further menacing demonstration with
regard to Turkey, and provoke hostilities."
We have ordinary despatches from Vienna of the
12th instant, upon which day the Czar's rejection of
the Turkish modification became known in that
capital. The excitement produced by this intelli-
gence is said to be altogetner extraordinary. The
St. Petersburg courier arrived at Vienna on Sunday,
late in the evening, and it was midnight when Count
Buol announced the important news to the Earl of
Westmoreland, by a note. The next morning early
a conference took place between the ministers of
France and England.
Despatches were received at Vienna from Bucha-
rest on Sunday, and it was expected that other
despatches of considerable importance would arrive
from Constantinople on the 13th.
Of the Czar's rejection of the "Note," as offered
by the Sultan, our correspondent merely states that
it was absolute. We have moreover been unable to
discover in any quarter a confirmation of a statement
which figured in some of the telegraphic despatches
last Tuesday, namely, that in refusing the altered
note the Czar again offered to accept the original
Vienna draught, and thereupon evacuate the Prin-
cipalities. Upon the whole, there seems to be much
ground for the suggestion of our Paris correspondent
that this assertion is built upon the hopes of the
diplomatists at Vienna rather than upon any de-
claration of the Czar. The official Dresden Journal
published on Wednesday a despatch from Vienna
representing the Czar's rejection of the note as abso-
lute, and making no mention of the assurance re-
ferred to.
