RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The German journalists appear to kayo made up
their minds that the questions at issue between
Russia sad Turkey, as to the position of the Greek
Church in the Ottoman States, and the occupation of
the Danubian Provinces by the troops of the Czar,
arc as good as settled ; and that new disputes are
about to break out bt.tween these Powers. 'I he ques-
tion of the reception of political rt. fogeys in Turkey
is indicated among others, or rather ht4,s:l.. all o:l:t•es.
In the t'osat•l tiftzette we find the folluu iuo emimuni-
cation from Berlin of date the 29th ult. :
The question of the refuges., form• at tlCii moment a
part of the diplomatic negotiations at Isich are goiug on at
Constantinopl-. M. ite Bruck having pr.••• that all the
political refugees should be sent into the ints•riot, the
French and Proosian ambassadors des hired that their go-
creams nts wuula support that proposition. M. de Walden-
bruek, who has very recently transmitted a r ry ',recite re-
port on the Eastern question, hos received front 'he govern-
ment the most positive instructions on the que3tien of the
refugees. In this Of sir Austria and Pripsi.s act in concert
with the Russian eatunct, which has on seacral occasions
expressed its desire that advantage should be taken of the
solution of the Eastern question to reolate the political
relations of the Powers as regords the revolutionary e!e-
ments which are at work in Europe. Lord S ratferd de
Reilcliffe has observel great reserve in this affair, from
which an idea may be formed of the position that the
British cabinet will lissome in i'.

It is remarkable that at the very time the foreign
organs of the despotic Powers arc beginning to hint
that the Porte must be taken to task h. r the refuge
it affords to liberal exiles, tho Tunes begins to growl
on the same theme. Yesterday that journal declared
that the termination of the present (or r cent) Ilmiso-
Turkish difficulty, ought not to satisfy the diplomacy
of western Europe. An attempt om;ht to he made to
define and settle permanently the position of Turkey
in the European system, otherwise, it is alleged, we
may be troubled with great Eastern questions year after
year. There is truth iu this; but there is also something
rather suspicious in the terms in which the Times
goes on to speak of the Europeans now in Turkey.
Our contemporary denounces them in the mass as
renegades and incendiaries whoie only aim is to set
the whole of Europe at war. This is apparently a
preparation or prelude to a more specific declaration
that the first point to be settled respetiiig the posi-
tion of turkey in the European system, is whether
an asylum shall be tolerated in its territory for poli-
tical refugees. And to ensure fair argument and an
equitable decision on the question, the Tunes begins
by scurrilously libelling all the political refugees at
present in Turkey.

The Paine says:
News fonu Malta, of the 29:14 has been received. The
mail, with the pondence from the ,gundron had been
received the evening before. It continued to be stated
that the vessels composing it would return to this part in
the cour,e of Seloontier. T..e le:ters written by Enalish
officers to their friends and ft, lies were all to this effect.
Several transports, laden with cual and other *torts re-
quired by Admiral Dundee, had just left for Beaika
The Auatriaa C m:nl at Malta had arrival two days sinee,
