THE DANUBE.

A letter from Vienna, in the Post Ampt Gazette,
says :—" The letters from the Lower Danube state
that Turkish troops are constantly marching from
the interior of Bulgaria on Varna. Omer Pacha
does not appear to be content with 40,000 men, in
order to successfully commence offensive operations.
He sends by every courier to demand fresh rein-
forcements from Ismail Pacha, who commands the
army of the Danube, and more particularly insists
on the immediate embarkation of the corps of
cavalry of Roumelia.

BELGIUM.
Belgium is still without a Ministry. M. Del-
fosse, President of the Chamber of Representatives,
has been sent for by the King.

FRANCE.
PARIS, TUESDAY EVENING.
The Emperor has countermanded the concert
which was to have been given at the Tuileries on
Thursday.
The Moniteur publishes a notification of the
blockade of the ports of the Black Sea and of the
Sea of Azoff by the combined fleets. The ports of
Eupatoria, Streletzka, Kamiesh, Kazatch, and
Balaklava are, however, it is stated, not comprised
in the blockade for the present ; but the commerce
of those ports remains subjected to all the condi-
tions and restrictions which have been, or which
may be, established by the Commanders of th•
Allied forces. _ . _

The Minister [of Marine and Colonies has ad•
dressed the following report to the Emperor :

"Sire—Vice-Adotiral Bruat, during the last few
years, has occupied different positions with great
distinction ; after having been governor of two colonies,
chief of a station, maritime prefect, Commander-in-Chief
of the squadron of the Ocean, he is now Commander-
in-Chief of the squadron of the Mediterranean, which so
nobly represents France in the Eastern seas. I have
the honour to propose to your Majesty to confer the
military medal on this officer ; the distinction will be in
the eyes of Vice-Admiral Bruat a new and precious tes-
timony of the esteem of the Emperor. I ant, &c.,
"THEODORII Ducos."
An imperial decree carries out the suggestion of
the report.
The following private telegraphic despatch has
just been received :
BERLIN, March 6.—. General de Wedell has set
off for Paris, carrying with him instructions which
will secure the conclusion of the treaty with
Prussia. The new Emperor, Alexander 11., pro-
mises in his manifesto to continue the policy of
his father. The Grand Duke Constantine has so-
lemnly sworn fidelity to his brother. The greatest
enthusiasm was manifested at the ceremony.
A Paris letter of the 14th, in the Independance
of Brussels, says :—" It is positively stated
that a telegraphic despatch has been received here,
giving a summary of the manifesto which the new
Czar is said to have addressed to the Russian
people. In this manifesto, Alexander 11. declares
that he will follow with filial respect the grand
policy of his father, into which he has been for
some years past initiated. There will be therefore
no change of system, and hence it is concluded
that the question of peace or war remains intact,
and that it is still at Vienna that a solution must
be come to. The Czar is said to have announced
that ho will carry on with the greatest energy the
measure of the emancipation of the serfs under-
taken by his father, and which has hitherto
been attended with such happy results. If, he
adds, the measure is slowly carried out it is be-
Cause the interests of the treasury must be con-
sidered, and the rights of proprietors respected.
Such is the sense of the telgraphie message said to
be received. It is said that the new Empress of
Russia is a woman quite out of the ordinary line,
and capable of playing a great part in preant

cutustances. Some one said this morning in my
presence, she may become a Catherine 11., and you
will soon have proofs of it."
