The wheat was nearly ready for harvesting, and the
crop would be a large one.
Breadstuffs had considerably advanced in Montreal.

A Vienii;, letter of the 22d, in the Post if mpt Gazette,
of Frankfort, says :—" The mission of General Giulay
to St. Petersburgh has been crowned with perfect success.
The Emperor of Russia has, it is said, resolved to open
negotiations with England, Austria, France, and Prussia
on the Eastern question. A circular dispatch will be
immediately sent to the diplomatic agents of Russia at
foreign courts, to apprize them of this resolution."
A letter from Constantinople says :—" On the 11th,
the Council of Ministers unanimously decided that, under
present circumstances, it was necessary to make an
appeal to the co-operation and councils of the four great
powers, and to act in accord with them respecting the
occupation of the Danubian provinces by Russia, land
before having recourse to arms, to employ all diplomatic
measures. In consequence, the Ottoman Porte trans-
mitted its protest to the four powers against the entry
of the Russian troops into the Danubian provinces. The
preparations for war continue, and the most ardent en-
thusiasm prevails amongst the troops, who hasten with
zeal to join the flag ; but notwithstanding,
the measures taken by the Seraskier, the number o
however, allf
men calculated on has not been assembled. Thus, ac-
cording to letters worthy of credit, the 80,000 men
said to be assembled at Schumla, must be reduced
to half the number. The same is said to be the
case with respect to stores, which, thoughvery
abundant at Schumla are very rare everywhere
t
else. A proclamation of the Ottoman Government o
all the Mussulm is
said is on the point of appearing. It s
said that this document is specially remarkable for
moderation and dignity. The publication is waited for
with impatience."
