TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The following dispatch has been received by
Submarine Telegraph
" VIENNA, WEDNESDAY, FIVE P.M.

" Authentic intelligence has reached us from
Czertowitz of the 4th July, via Lemberg, per tele-
graph, this morning.
" The Russians entered the Principalities on the
3d, with the fourth and fifth army divisions under
General Dannenberg. _ _

"A proclamation, signed by Prince Gortschakoff,
declared the object of the occupation, which
would not interrupt the present government of the
country.
" Our last advices from St. Petersburgh state
that the Russian occupation of the principalities
will Rot exceed 25,000 men for the present.
" The Bourse here is rather alarmed. Five per
Cent. Metalliques, 938 ; Northern Railway, 218 ;
Silver, 10g."

The accounts from Constantinople, of June 23,
state that a mediation, though generally considered
impossible, is nevertheless still talked of. Russia,
however, is considered to have gone too far, and
she cannot, it is thought, retreat without disgrace
and a violation of all the precedents known in such
cases.
The armaments are carried on with great zeal.
The excitement of the populace has risen to such
a height that the Government scarcely ventures to
mention the word " negotiations."
The Russians are fully expected to cross the
Pruth. Whenever the news of that movement
arrives the fleets of Great Britain and France i _ will
forthwith enter the Sea of Marmora, a-1 4tapei

Some French officers have arrived at Constanti-
nople. They will at once proceed to the Danube.
The following is an extract from a private letter
from Constantinople, dated the 23d ult.
All is tranquil here, and we await with impa-
tience the steamer from Odessa, in order to ascertain
in what manner Prince Menschikoff will view the
answer of the Turkish Government. Admiral Mus-
tapha Pasha left yesterday on board the steamer
Saiki Chadi for Besika, where he goes to pay
his respects to the French and English Admirals.
He is also to come to an understanding with them
WI to the means to be employed to tow the ships

in case war breakout. You are aware that there are

nu re large sailing vessels than steamers. The Redifs of
Smyrna arrived this morning, and they leave to-night
nll Varna. There is a rumour of the nomination of
Selim Pasha to the post of Ordon Seraskier of Anatolia
—that is, General-in-Chief of the army of that division
of the Turkish dominions. Abdi Pasha has a command
in the direction of the Danube.

"The Seraskier Muchiri (Minister of War) and the
General-in-Chief of the Imperial Guard are making pre-
parations for their departure.
" Several French officers have arrived, and are about
to proceed in the direction of the Danube in order to
examine the state of the Turkish army.
" As I am about to seal my letter, I am informed that
Selim Pasha has been named Batoum Memouri, that is,
that he has received an extraordinary mission for Ba-
toumi, which is the frontier of the north-east of Turkey.
He leaves Constantinople for his post this day."
The Admiral Mustapha Pasha, alluded to in
the letter, is a young man, about 35 years of
age. He is known among his countrymen as
Mustapha the Englishman, from his having served
nine years in the English naval service, and from
his decided predilection for English habits and
manners. He has repeatedly said that— when-
ever he sees a person wearing a hat he can
scarcely keep himself from addressing him in Eng-
lish. He is said to be an intelligent active officer,
and a good seaman. The fact of his having gone
to Besika Bay for the purpose of arranging with
the French and English Admirals about the towing
of the vessels through the Straits, in case of war
breaking out, would show that those officers have
already received their orders, and that their orders
are to enter the Dardanelles, on the requisition of
the Sultan. If this be the case there can be no
truth in the reports about contrary orders being
given to the fleet in consequence of a recent deci-
sion of the English Cabinet.

Accounts from St. Petersburgh, of June 29,
state that, previous to the contents of the Turkish
aiswer becoming known, those who profess to be
well-informed say that the Government would no
longer be satisfied with a mere acceptance of the
note, but would, in the case of negotiations being
opened, bring forward a number of special facts
having reference to the condition of the Greeks
in Turkey, and then press for the most comprehen-
sive measures for the protection of the Orthodox
Church there against further attacks. And further,
that the Principalities would remain occupied until
a peaceable and satisfactory solution of the present
difference was obtained. Two corps d'arm,e6 have
been already dispatched to the Principalities, and
arrangements are being made for the possible
eventuality of a war. The Commander of the 6th
corps d'armee, General Tschodajew, ba•a been sum-
moned from Moscow.

AUSTRIA.
Combined with the other objects of his mission,
Count Giulai is entrusted to prepare for the favour-
able reception of the Extraordinary Ambassador
about to leave Constantinople for St. Petersburgh.
Count Karniky, the Austrian Chargé d'Affaires
at Berne, is still sojourning at the baths of Fran-
senbad, where he arrived on the 22d of June.
More lenient measures are about to be adopted
by Austria in the Lombardo-Venetian provinces,
although the principles proclaimed on the recent
re-organisation of the empire will still be main-
tained.

The Vienna Presse states that the Count of Cham-
bord has mortgaged for 1,000,000 f., with the Bank
of Credit Foncier at Paris, an estate he possesses in
the department of the Loire and Cher.

THE LEVAT.
ATHENS, JUNE 29.—T he Pr esident of the Coun-
cil of Ministers has expressed to the Chambers the
hope that Greece will not be under the necessity of
taking arms in a conflict for foreign interests.
ODESSA, JUNE 24.—The preparations for war
have increased. The interpreter of the legation at
Constantinople is at the head-quarters of the army,
to be of service to the troops.
Riots have taken place in Smyrna in consequence
of the forcible arrest of an aide-de-camp of Kossuth.
By way of retaliation, a marine officer, the son of a
field marshal, had been assassinated. The hotel of
the Austrian Consul was guarded by Austrian
soldiers.
