IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCI

telegraphic

despatch, dated Paris, Friday
night, contains highly important intelligence on
the Russo-Turkish question. The despatch says
that the French Government had, for the present,
refused to accede to an application of the Porte
for a number of officers to be attached to flit"
staff of the army of the Danube, and of Asia.
With reference to a manifesto said to have been
received in Paris from the Emperor of Russia, the
despatch says :—" For the last three days a rumour
has been in circulation that another manifesto
from the Emperor of Russia had appeared, and.
in fact, had been received in Paris. That. rumour

was met with a positive denial that any such docu-
ment was in existence ; and as it was said to be in
reply to the manifesto of the Porte it was still less
credited, as there was not sufficient time between
the publication of the note of Redscid Pasha and

the one in question.
There is one circumstance, however, which
would lead to the supposition that the report of a
Russian manifesto is not entirely without foun-
dation. The director of one of the leading PariA
was this day requested to attend at tho
Cabinet of the Chief of the SuretO:General, a

journals

department which since the abolition of the Min •
istry of Police, belongs to that of the Interior.
The Chief of the Surete-General inquired of Vie
gentleman I allude to as to whether he had received
the Russian manifesto about which rumours were
afloat. The reply was in the negatve. He was then
asked if he expected it, and the reply was that he
was expecting that as he would any other paper
or piece of intelligence of public interest, and which
a newspaper plares before its readers. He was
then requested, if such a document reached him,
not to publish it. The journalist asked whether
he might not make use of it in case publicity was
already given to it in the German, Belgian, or Ea-
papnrc, T-To 117:1, informorl rmicf. 11,11
do so, " because the document was described as
containing phrases insulting France and England."
Thereupon, I believe, the conversation ended. The
phrase with which fault has been found is said to
to this effect—that the Emperor of Russia would.

consider as an insult (comme acne injure) auy suc-
cour, moral or material, given to Turkey by either
France or England ; and, further, that- the Em
peror of Russia is so convinced of the justice of his
cause that he will persevere even if all Europe bo
against him. It appears that the directors of a
second paper, generally believed to be inspired by
the Russian Embassy in Paris, and known for its
hostility to England, has received a similrr :1-
timation."

Another despatch, also dated Paris, Friday even-
ing, gives a somewhat different version of the cases
but speaks in decided terms as to the manifesto
having been received. It says :—"The Russian man-
festo has arrived in Paris, and is now in the hands
of the French Government, but the authorities have
forbidden such of the Paris papers

Is may receive

it from publishing the doc-unient. This fact is
considered a sufficient ground for believing that
the manifesto is a warlike one, and extremely
hostile to France.
"On the other hand, M. de Kisseleff, the Russian
Minister, has had a long and animated conversa-
tion with M. Drouyn de Lhuys on the general state
of affairs. M. de Kisseleff positively declared that
Russia; Prussia, and Austria perfectly understood
each other, and were resolved on the course they
should take in certain circumstances; and 113
added that, in the event of the slightest revolu-
tionary movement in Switzerland, Italy, or Ger-
many, they would unite to put it down, even at
the expense of a general war."
