War has not yet been actually declared between
the Russians and Turks, bat tit* Paris Papers if
Tuesday lead us to believe that this event is delayed
cooly for • moment. The Reis Effendi has re'.
plied to the several Notes of the English and
Austrian Ambassadors, and, as it is said, with much
arrogance •refuses, upon the part of thai3Ottomait
Porte, to accede to the principal point. contained.
in the Russian UN/trait/a. The Paris accounts
further notice, as an evidence of the warlike deter.
mination of the Turks, that the French Ambassa-
dor, the Count LATOUR MAOBOURO, was not re-
ceived by the Porte with the distinguished attention
which, in other times. had uniformly been paid to
the, representative' of France. The Turks are
fatalists, sod they are said to have drawn omens of
the assurance of divine favour from the circum-
stances of Au PACHA.I death, and the birth of •
ion to the reigning Stilton. A warlike spirit and a
belief in their own invincibility have remained to
the Turks amidst the vicissitudes of ages, and the
display of the standard of their Prophet would at
the present moment be little less effectual in reviv-
ing among them the warm temperament of religious
enthusiasm than when ANURATH first led his victo-
rious troops over the Bosphorus. or his successor
MABOMET exhorted them to conquer the capital of
the Greeks as the most gratifying sacrifice to the
Almighty. The numerical force of the Turks is
very great, and it is well known that they have ac-
tively employed the time of the late protracted
negociationa its preparing the means of defence;
some persons therefore believe that baring now com-
pleted their military preparations, they only throw
off a mask and avow the sentiments which they have
never ceased to entertain. Their prevent determi-
nation tatty the chances of war, if indeed the Divan
have so resolved, mar, we think, be more satisfac-
torily accounted for by supposiug that Russia Ism
risen in her demands, or that the Jatinisories have
evinced • spirit which it might not be prudent is
the Sultan to resist. An account from Frankfort,
noticing the state of the uegociationo, speaks of •
demand on the part of Russia—• new one, as we be.
lieve, to be indemoitied by Turkey for all the ex-
penses incurred by the asserobliog of the large
army on the banks of the Froth. Turkey might
well feel that a sufficient sacrifice had been
already required oil surrendering the right of
nominating the flospodans of Wallachia and Mol-
davia, without oppressing alt irritable people, its-
dignant at the demands already made by the snip
went of charges incurred for the humiliation of the
Ottoman Porte. The tone of the last communica-
tion from the Reis Effendi, or Minister for Foreign
Affairs, has, we are told, suspended all further ne-
gociations in Constantinople, and it is probable
that the next accounts will speak of the advance of
the Russian armies over die Turkish frontier,.
The Turks boast that C..BOURSCHID PacuA has
under his command an army of 30,000 Moslems in
Greece. We are persuaded that there is not •
Minister in the Divan capable r.f telling the num-
ber of troops employed in any portion of the em-
pire, so that the statement of an army of 30,000
men in Greece is to be received as a matter of hasty
conjecture, or as an evidence merely of the wishes
of the Porte. But what could 30,000 men eff.ct
in such a country as Greece, if the Greeks de-
served to be free ?
The accounts from the interior of France are not
always as distinct as we could desire, owl perhaps
in the gloom of this mystery events , acquite a
distorted magnitude, which would he found not to
belong to them if every occurrence were Wooed
to be fairly and candidly stated. We regret to see
so many instances of a seditious or uneasy temper
in various parts of the country. Fresh troops have
been advanced upon Saumur, as if that town' or iia
neighbourhood were thought still to retain some
portion of that spirit which has already given to
it an alarming distinction.
The apprehension of a war in the east has had •
serious effect upon the prices of the French fends.

Frankfort Papers to the 30th last contain • de-
t4ileil account of the death of the fatuous Au
Nuts. It appears that he was the victim of ill
conspiracy, in which his wire look part.
