TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The additional news from this quarter adds
little of importance to that previously known.
The telegraphic despatches received yesterday,
corroborate those which we:published on Tuesday,
regarding the passage of the Danube by the Turks
It comes via Semlin; and announces that 20,000
Turks crossed the Danube on the 27th October,
near Widdin, and occupied Kalafat, which had
ceased to be occupied by the Russians. There

was no fight.
Another message, dated Vienna, November Ist,
atates, that the communication with the Lower
Danube is entirely interimpted, in consequence -of
recent events. _

Most of the letters from Vienna and Constanti-
nople, which were received yesterday, was written
before the above events took place, and conse-
quently to a great extent divested of interest.
Aniong the exceptions, is one froM the Constanti-
nople Debats, who writes from that capital, on the
22nd ult., "The day before yesterday, M. de Bruck,
the Austrian internuncio, had an interview with
the Sultan, ftnd handed to him a new project of
note, with the collective guarantee, it is said, of
the four Powers assembled anew at 'Vienna, that
it would be accepted by Russia. I do not know
the tenor of this note. At the end of the interview,
a Tartar was immediately despatched to Omer
Pacha, with directions to him to wait' some time
before commencing hostilities

rhat circumstanc

leads to the :belief here that the note is of a nat_urc
to be accepted by the Divan. Noth -
interest, besides what I have just said, has occur-
red. A quarrel took place, two days ago, between
some Italians, who were intoxicated, and the police.
Four persons were killed, and several others
wounded. Politics had nothing to do with the

g of political

matter."
The Constantinople correspondent of the Times,
writing on the 20th, says—" To-day her Majesty's
steam frigate the. Retribution, commanded by the
Hon. Captain Drummond, is to -proceed to the
Dardanelles with despatches for the Admiral on
the receipt of which it is expected that three British
line-of battle ships will at once appear in the Bos-
phorus, followed or preceded by a like number
from the French ships. Besides these, four or five
steam frigates from each division of the combined
squadron are also 'expected to form part of the
Anglo-French contingent in-the Bosphorus. The
rest of the fleet will remove from the unsafe an-
chorage of Besika Bay, and anchor near Gallipoli.
The Spitfire is now here, her officers being engaged
in taking soundings in the Bosphorus.. The Cara-
doc arrived last night with despatches."
We have no further intelligence regarding the
Isachtka affair, but there is no reason to doubt the
substantial correctness of the accounts already
published.
Namik Pasha, the Minister of Commerce, was
about to leave Constantinople for Paris and Lon-

It is supposed that his mission is to endea-
vour to raise a loan. Several' projected loans are

ggested to bor-

on the tapis, and it has been _even. st
row from America. •
The following is from Copenhagen of the 26th
" Private letters from the Island'of Bornholm state
that several Russian ships of war—indeed, a whole
fleet—have been seen .Cruising and manoeuvring to
the east of the island. The Imperial Russian war
steamer Ottwaschnoi has been in our roads since
last Saturday, and further out a Russian frigate is
at anchor."
