TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

A private telegraphic 'dispatch has been received from
Berlin, dated yesterday, which states that an Austrian
Cabinet courier left Vienna for St. Petersburgh with
important communications addressed by the Porte to
the Russian Government through the Austrian Go-
vernment. They were to the effect that Turkey would
yield on the principle of the Russian demands, but
that their form should be changed ; and that the Porte,
unwilling to expose itself to take a useless step, desired
t) know previously whether Russia was disposed to ac.
cept the project of arrangement, and if so, that a
Turkish Ambassador would be sent to St. Petersburg.
The statement of Der Lloyd, that ships of war had
entered the Dardanelles, is contradicted. Not a single
vessel of war, French, English, or American, had passed
the straits on the 12th.

The foreign papers arriving at Warsaw and St. Peters-
burgh are almost entirely cut to pieces ; and the public
can only receive the newa through the Russian court
papers.
Advices from Warsaw represent Prince Paskiewitch
to be in so bad a state of health that, in the event of
war, he would be unable to take a command.
Dispatches from Constantinople of the 12th inst. con-
tradict the statement that the Caradoc was the bearer of
an order to the fleet, or part of them, to enter the
Dardanelles.
Russian ships were cruisng in the Black Sea ; a
frigate is at Synope, and another six miles from the
embouchure of the Bosphorus, observing the movements
of the Turkish fleet.
The Bucharest German papers of the 11th inst. state,
that the Russian army of occupation arrived on the 7th
at Fokschani, on the Moldo-Wallachian frontier, and on
the 10th at Busseo, half-way between Folkschani and
Bucharest. The Russians were to enter Bucharest on
the 15th. _ _

The Press of Vienna, of the 21st says :—" We learzz
that two projects of mediation—one of the Cabinet of
the Tuileries, the other of the Cabinet of St. James's—
have been submitted to the Government of St. Peters-
burgh, relative to the privileges and immunities of the
Greek Church. The reply of the Government of St.
Petersburgh to the projected mediation of France left on
9th July for Constantinople, addressed to the ambassador
of France, to be communicated to the Divan. This is
why the reply of the Divan cannot be known at Vienna
before the beginning of next week." The Press gives
nothing to confirm its account of five ships of the line
having been ordered from Besika Bay to the environs
of Constantinople.
Dispatches received from the head-quarters of Gene-
ral Prince Gortschakoff announce, says the Press of
Vienna "that the Turks have not yet made any pre-
parations for effecting the passage of the Danube. They,
however, were continuing to concentrate troops
_at
Schumla, and begun fortifying Pravad between Schumla
and Warna."
Of Vienna,
the
an active ex•
change
between Cabinets of
shetaki .Etnold place
London and Copenhagen, relative to the Eastern ques-
tion—England being, it says, desirous to persuade Den-
mark to conclude a treaty with her for all possible
eventualities.
The Frankfurter Journal contains a letter from War-
saw, which states that the Emperor of Russia is to ar-
rive in that city towards the end of the month, to close
the operations at the camp Powowsk.
A letter from St. Petersburgh, of the 16th, in a Ger•
man journal, says :—" The present state of the Turco-
Russian question is a Cabinet mystery, and absolutely
nothing is said of it to the public. However, an active
exchange of dispatches witla the Cabinets of Europe is
remarked. Count Giulay, Envoy of Austria, has daily
conferences with the envoys of the powers,. and if the
assurances of the Prussian envoy can be believed, peace
will not be troubled."
