TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, FEB. 26.—The Amsterdam,
French steamer, with the Crimean mail, arrived
at ten a.m. this morning. Eupatorian intelligence
is of the 23d instant. Up to that date no fresh
attack had been ventured on by the Russians,
who aro busy intrenching themselves beyond the
hills outside the town. The French have just com-
pleted a battery a little beyond the Henri IV., and
when the guns are mounted the wreck of that man
of war will be destroyed and used as firewood, of
which material there is a great want in the town.
Omer Paella was very active in giving strength to
the redoubts of Eupatoria. Several British trans-
ports with cavalry had arrived there from Bourgas
and Baltchik. Sir Stephen Lakeman (Mazhar
Paella) was hourly expected. Ahmed Pacha, the
Turkish admiral, with his flotilla of war steamers,
was there ready to give any assistance required.
The Russian forces outside the town are com-
manded by General Osten-Sacken, who some
weeks ago replaced General Danngnberg. The re-
pulse of the Russians had given great confidence
to the Tartars. They at present readily volun-
teer, and the brigade to be composed of
Crimeans at present numbers upwards of 5,000
recruits. A battalion is armed with Russian fire-
locks. There is still a dearth of provisions at
Eupatoria, and subsequent to the last battle the
natives turned out en masse, to pick up bread sup-
posed to be found in the knapsacks of the enemy,
and to carry away the horses for the sake of the
flesh.

Letters received from Varna state that a new
division of Turkish troops, under the command of
Hussein Pacha, had received orders to quit Shumla
for Varna, and from thence embark for the Crimea.

The Ministerial crisis in Belgium continues. M.

sent for by the King, has declined the task of form-
ing a Ministry on the ground that the Left cannot
command a majority in the Chamber. The late
Ministers still refuse to return to office.

A letter from Turin of the sth, in the Corriere

though not dangerously wounded with a stiletto.
The culprit has not yet been discovered.

The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa states on the
strength of letters from Rome, that the withdrawal
of Cardinal Antonelli from office is still uncertain,
owing to the hesitation of Monsignor Viola Praia
to accept Lis office.
