THE GERMAN POWERS.

The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna of the 9th, which says :--" We learn the
following intelligence relative to the contents of
the protocol lately signed : Ist. The integrity
of the Turkish Empire is considered as the
basis of all the measures which the Four Powers
might decide on. 2dly. The consolidation of
the moral and religious position of the Christian
population in Turkey in the sense of the reforms
commenced is to remain one of the principal (,b-
-jects to be sought for. 3dly. The re-establishment
of peace, aud, above all, the evacuation of the
Principalities will be also one of the objects of the
Powers. 4thly. The Powers who have signed will
not enter into any separate negotiation either
amongst themselves, or with other Governments,
on the Eastern question."

A Berlin journal called The Weekly Sheet, says :
_;_c, We learn that when Austria is to enter the
Principalities, a Prussian army of observation will
protect the left Austrian wing against Russia. It
is said that this is one of the propositions made by
General Hess. It is owing to the influence of the
Cabinet of Vienna, and not to our own prudence
that we are to attribute the fact that Prussia is
leaving her dangerous state of isolation and re-
entering the European concert of the Four Powers."
The statement made by the Correspondence of
Berlin, that the Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian
Minister at the Court of London, had obtained a
lengthened leave of absence, is confirmed, says a
letter in the Leipsic Gazette. It is even said that
he will not return to his present post, and that
the cause of his recall is that he exceeded in some
measure the intentions of the Prussian Cabinet in
the deliberations on the Anglo-French proposition,
relative to a convention to be concluded between
the four Powers which took part in the conference
of Vienna.

1 LATEST' FOREIGN NEWS

THE WAR.

The last intelligence from Vienna is to the fol-
lowing effect :
The news of the defeat of the Greek insurgents
near Janina is confirmed.
The Greek commander Grivas is retreating.
The relations bet Ween Austria and Russia are
daily becoming more distant.
It is probable that Austria has proposed to Prus-
sia a German ultimatuni,, demanding the evacua-
tion of the Danubian Principalities by Russia.
Advices from Orsova of the 6th of April state
that Omer Pacha has received instructions from
Constantinople to undertake no important opera-
tion until the arrival of the allied forces.
The English and French declaration of war
against Russia was read to the troops at Kalafat on
the 6th, and was received with tremendous ap-
plause.
Skirmishes took place daily.
The dates from Varna are to the Ist inst. On
the 24th ult., the British squadron having landed,
the Turkish troops proceeded in the direction of
Sebastopol.
From Berlin, we learn that on Monday a com-
mission was appointed to settle the details of the
military convention entered into between Prussia
and Austria.

The following members compose the commission :
—The Prince of Prussia, Generals Bonin and
Reyher, and Baron Hess.
The New Gazette of Munich states from St.
Petersburg that the mission of the Duke of Meck-
lenburg to the King of Prussia was entirely a per-
sonal one from sovereign to sovereign. Count
Nesselrode was not, it is said, consulted ou the
subject.
A letter from St. Petersburg of the 31st ult. says a:
—" The movements of troops continue in the Baltic
provinces and in Finland. Whilst the guards were
setting out on their march, the battalion of chas-
seurs of the reserve of Moscow and the battalion of
sharpshooters of Helsingfors were arriving there.
The Emperor reviews the troops as they arrive."

THE DANUBE.

The Moniteur says :—" The rumour has been
spread of a victory having been gained by the
Russian army on the banks of the Danube. Pri-
vate letters, it is true, speak of a battle, but do not
make known the result; and the Government has
not received, by official despatch, any news of this
victory, nor even of this battle."

The Press of Vienna states that, on the 30th ult.,
the Turks, to the number of 10,000 infantry, and
2,000 cavalry, made a sortie from Kalafat, and
attacked a large body of Russians near Skripetz.
After a battle of four hours the Russians retreated
on Cowzi, leaving 600 killed on the field of battle.
The Turks are said to have lost 200. The same
journal states that a battle which was commenced.
at Kalaradsch and Oltenitza on the 28th ult., was
continuing when the last accounts left, but that the
Russians had been beaten at Simuitza, and had a
loss of 1 000 men.
_ _

The latest accounts from Bucharest state that
large bodies of Russian troops continue to pass the
Pruth. Between the 30th of March and the Ist of
April 100,000 Russians are said to have entered
the Principalities.
Prince Paskiewitsch has been appointed Com-
mander-in-Chief both of the troops forming the
active army, of all the regiments under the orders
of Prince Gortschakoff, and the troops which may
hereafter be sent to reinforce the army on the
Danube. The battalions of the batteries of reserve
and those of the Danubian army, or which may
hereafter reinforce it, are kept at his dis-
posal. The Aide-de-Camp, Prince Gortschakoff,
is to preserve the command of the army, but the
Prince of Warsaw is placed above him, and
he will have to execute his orders. Count Rudi-
ger is to command the first and second
corps of Infantry and the corps of Grenadiers,
with the exception of the first division of Gre-
nadiers and the battalion of Fusiliers. When
Prince Paskewitsch assumes the command of
the army, Prince Goctschakoff is to fill the
functions of the Chief of the Staff, and Count
Rudiger those of Military Governor-General
of Warsaw. In the absence of Prince
Paskewitsch, Prince Gortschakoff is to command
the army under his orders, as the General of a
separate corps, and will be in direct communica-
tion with the Minister of War for everything be-
longing to the Commissiariat Department. In
political and secret affairs he is to correspond with
Prince Paskewitsch. Count Rudiger will enjoy
the same powers as the Prince during the absence
of the latter from Warsaw, but will have to render
an account of his proceeding to the Czar and to
Prince Paskewitsch. He is to be invested with
the same authority for the government of the king-
dom of Poland, during the absence of the Prince,
as General Dehn, in 1849.

THE BALTIC.

A telegraphic despatch, dated Copenhagen, Tues-
day morning, says :—" The fleet leaves Kioge Bay
early to-morrow for the Island of Gothland, about
half way up the Baltic, whence despatches have
been brought by the Lightning from the advanced
steam squadron."
COPENHAGEN, APRIL 7.—Yesterday the COnflict,
screw, 8, Captain Foote, came in from the. south.
The Desperate, screw, 8, Captain Wyncourt, passed
from the north. The Odin, from the fleet, with
Sir Charles Napier on board, arrived at 2 o'clock.
On Monday, the English steamers Driver and
Hecla passed Nyborg southwards, the former tow-
ing the sailing-frigate Boscawen. An unfortunate
accident occurred-on this occasion. The boat which
should convey some men on board the frigate was
not made fast, but lay at the side of the steamer ;
it got into the wheel-water and turned over, and
5 men were drowned.

On Tuesday the Driver took up an anchorage
north of Knudshoved, having with it from the
north a ship of the line and a paddle-steamer.
The pilots have returned to Nyborg, after con-
ducting the first division of the fleet from the Cat-
tegat to Kiel, and thence to Kiogo Bay.
The Danish screw-steamer Thor stood out to the
south yesterday. It is said that the Holger
Danske will be stationed near Nyborg, in the
Great Belt.

Military and naval preparations against an in-
visible foe are daily increasing here.
Letters from Prussia announce that at Memel,
the Prussian port on the frontier of Russia, a vast
entrepot of Russian produce has been formed which
has been hastily imported into the neutral German
territory, in anticipation of an embargo on the
part of Russia, or a blackade by the maritime
powers.

TO THE EDITOR OR THE BUN.

Sin,—With reference to a subject to which public
attention has been called afresh by an article of The Sun
of this date, I beg to state to you, for the information of
your readers, that the question affecting my interests
appears to be not whether certain cases which I left at
St. Petersburg, and which contain pictures, ornamental
furniture, books, linen, and other articles of value, are
to be seized and confiscated, but whether their shipment
on board the Anne M'Alister, the only English vessel
remaining at Cronstadt, is to be permitted.
According to the last advices, the question has been
determined against me ; but, as I am bound to infer that
the decision must have been taken upon erroneous
grounds, I still entertain the hope that it may be recon-
sidered and revised.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your
obedient humble servant,
G. H. SEYMOUR.

THE GERMAN POWERS.

The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from
Vienna of the 9th, which says :—" We learn the
following intelligence relative to the contents of
the protocol lately signed : Ist. The integrity
of the Turkish Empire is considered as the
basis of all the measures which the Four Powers
might decide on. 2dly. The consolidation of
the moral and religious position of the Christian
population in Turkey in the sense of the reforms
comwenced is to remain one of the principal ob-
jects to be sought for. 3dly. The re-establishment
of peace, and, above all, the evacuation of the
Principalities will be also one of the objects of the
Powers. 4thly. The Powers who have signed will
not enter into any separate negotiation either
amongst themselves, or with other Governments,
on the Eastern question." •
A Berlin journal ea:led The Weekly Sheet, says
—" We learn that when Austria is to enter the
Principalities, a Prussian army of observation will
protect the left Austrian wing against Russia. It
is said that this is one of the propositions made by
General Hess. It is owing to the influence of the
Cabinet of Vienna, and not to our own prudence
that we are to attribute the fact that Prussia is
leaving her dangerous state of isolation and re-
entering the European concert of the Four Powers."
The statement made by the Correspondence of
Berlin, that the Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian
Minister at the Court of London, had obtained a
lengthened leave of absence, is confirmed, says a
letter in the Leipsic 6azette. It is even said that
he will not return to his present post, and that
the cause of his recall is that he exceeded in some
measure the intentions of the Prussian Cabinet in
the deliberations on the Anglo-French proposition,
relative to a convention to be concluded between
the four Powers which took part in the conference
of Vienna.

order to prevent any expression of feeling upon their part
in favour of Greece.

Lord J. RUSSELL said he hoped to be able shortlyafter
the Easter recess to lay papers in connection with the sub-
ject upon the table of the house.
WITHDRAWAL OF THE PRUSSIAN MINISTER.
Mr. DISRAELI—I wish to ask, with respect to the al-
leged withdrawal of the Prussian Minister from the Court
of St. James's, if the Government can inform the house
whether any communications upon the subject have been
made to her Majesty's Ministers?
Lord J. RUSSELL—I am sorry I cannot give any in-
formation either to the right hon. gentleman or to the
house upon the subject to which his question refers. I
saw my noble friend at the head of the Foreign Depart-
ment to-day, but I had no conversation with him upon the
matter.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY BILL.
This bill passed through committee pro forma.
PAYMENT OF WAGES BILL.

Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the following hon.
members should be appointed to serve upon the select com-
mittee on the above bill :—Mr. Charles Forster, Mr. Henry
Austin Bruce, Mr. Fitzroy, Mr. Cheetham, Mr. Moffatt,
Mr. Craufurd, Mr. Booker, Mr. Peto, Lord Stanley, Mr.
Baird, Mr. Coffin, Sir Henry Halford, Sir Joshua Walms -
ley, Mr. Wickham, and Mr. Gardner.
Sir H. HALFORD proposed that the name of Mr. T.
Dune,ombe should be substituted for that of Mr. Cheetham.

- kr. FITZROY opposed the amendment. ------
Mr. HUME was sorry that the bill was about to be
referred at all to the consideration of a select committee.
Mr. BRIGHT said he thought that that great manufac-
turing district, South Lancashire, ought to be represented
on that subject, and yet the only one of its members on that
committee was the hon. gentleman (Mr. Cheetham), whose
name it was proposed to remove.
Mr. F. FRENCH wished to see the committee consist
of gentlemen who could not be considered as mere parti-
sans taken from either one side of the house or the
other.

Mr. C. FORSTER said he thought that the committee
had on the whole been fairly nominated.
Sir H. HALFORD said he would not persist in his
motion.

The motion of the hon. baronet was accordingly with-
drawn, and the committee was constituted as originally
proposed.
On the motion of Mr. MOFFATT, it was ordered, after
a short discussion, that the committee should have power
to send for persons, papers, and records.

heavily on the poor, are but too kindred to super- '
stition. We have a day on which our thoughts
naturally turn to our relations with our MAKER—
a day on which the nation is, by centuries of
usage, at full leisure to meet for a high
and sacred purpose, and we must think
that it is only assigning everything to its
season, to call upon the nation universally to
employ that particular day as a day of national
prayer for a national object. We may remark,
too, with truth, that our religious services on the
LORD'S Day need more variety, and that probably
many of the millions who, according to the much-
talked-of Census Report, never attend worship at
all, would be attracted on such occasions as these
by the idea of something novel and special, and
might thus commence a most important habit.
It did not occur to us before, but we could wish
it had been thought of, to consecrate the day in
the way most acceptable of any to the LORD OF
ALL, by showing mercy to the poor. How appro-
priate, how pleasing in His sight, we fully believe,
would a universal collection have been; the money
to have been employed by a commission composed
of persons of all denominations, and in whom the
nation would have confidence, for the relief of any
widows and orphans, and other cases of deep dis
tress caused directly by the war. National prayer,
accompanibd by such charity, would be at once
pleasing to the MOST HIGH, and would fulfil a
duty to those who risk the comfort of their loved
ones, as well as their own lives, for their country's
sake. Our men abroad would feel that they were
"insured for their lives," not in the nation's
taxes only, but in its piety and generosity.

CONSTANTINOPLE.

CONSTANTINOPLE, APRIL s.—The city has been
illuminated for a victory over the Russians.
Fears are entertained of a rising of the Greek
population.
The fleet is at Baltshik.

The news of the declaration of war by England
and France against Russia has produced the
greatest enthusiasm here.

A letter from Constantinople of the' 30th ult.
states that the news of the passage of the Danube
by the Russians was known there. The English
and French. Admirals on reaching Kavarna on the
25th learnt that a corps of 30,000 Russians, com-
manded by General Luders, had crossed the Da-
nube at Hirsova, near • Matchin, on the 21st and
22d. They immediately despatched. an English
steamer to Constantinople with the news, where
she arrived on the 27th. It was at once commu-
nicated to the Council, which was then sitting at
the Porte.

This event having been foreseen caused less sen-
sation than it would otherwise have done ; the
Greeks, hOwever,
_Anti the Russian party put the
most aosurd reports iii circulation. Among others
that the army of Omer Pasha had been completely
destroyed, And that the Russians were in full march
on Constantinople.
The movement of the- Russians is not regarded
by military men as one which would cause any un-
easiness, as if Omer Pasha:remains on the defen-
sive, it will be easy for him, with the forces at his
disposal, to oppose-the progress of the enemy. ,
An aide-de-camiYof -Omer. Pasha arrived at Con-
stantinople on the 29th, and had a immediate
conference with the. Seraskier. It was said that he
had come for the purpose of obtaining from the
Government an authorisation to give battle to the
Russian troops Who have crossed the river, and to
attempt to drive them back to the other side. The
Superior Military—Council was convoked in the
night to consider the proposition of Omer Pasha,
but no decision had been come to when the latter
left.
The English Ambassador, on receiving the ac-
count of the movement of ie Russians, despatched
a steamer to VI-Altai-to hasten the departure of the
troops remaining there, and those which might ar-
rive. The allied squadrons quitted the annorage
of Kaunas and proceeded to the Bay of Baltahick

THE DANUBE.

The Moniteur says :—" The rumour has been
spread of a victory having been gained by the
Russian army on the banks of the Danube. Pri-
vate letters, it is true, speak of a battle, but do not
make known the result ; and the Government has
not received, by official despatch, any news of this
victory, nor even of this battle."
The Press of Vienna states that, on the 30th ult.,
the Turks, to the number of 10,000 infantry, and
2,000 cavalry, made a sortie from Kalafat, and
attacked a large body of Russians near Skripetz.
After a battle of four hours the Russians retreated
on Cowzi, leaving 600 killed on the field of battle.
The Turks are said to have lost 200. The same
journal states that a battle which was commenced
at Kalaradsch and Oltenitza on the 28th ult., was
continuing when the last accounts left, but that the
Russians had been beaten at Simnitza, and had a
loss of 1,000 men.

The latest accounts from Bucharest state that
large bodies of Russian troops continue to pass the
Pruth. Between the 30th of March and the Ist of
April 100,000 Russians are said to have entered
the

Prince Paskiewitsch has been appointed Com-
mander-in-Chief both of the troops forming the
active army, of all the regiments under the orders
of Prince Gortschakoff, and the troops which may
hereafter be sent to reinforce the army on the
Danube. The battalions of the batteries of reserve
and those of the Danubian army, or which may
hereafter reinforce it, are kept at his dis-
posal. The Aide-de-Camp, Prince Gortscbakoff,
is to preserve the command of the army, but the
Prince of Warsaw is placed above him, and
he will have to execute his orders. Count Rudi-
ger is to command the first and second
corps of Infantry and the corps of Grenadiers,
with the exception of the first division of Gre-
nadiers and the battalion of Fusiliers. When
Prince Paskewitsch assumes the command of
the army, Prince Goctschakoff is to fill the
functions of the Chief of the Staff, and Count
Rudiger those of Military Governor-General
of Warsaw. In the absence of Prince
Paskewitsch, Prince Gortschakoff is to command
the army under his orders, as the General of a
separate corps, and will be in direct communica-
tion with the Minister of War for everything be-
longing to the Commissiariat Department. In
political and secret affairs he is to correspond with
Prince Paskewitsch. Count Rudiger will enjoy
the same powers as the Prince during the absence
of the latter from Warsaw, but will have to render
an account of his proceeding to the Czar and to
Prince Paskewitsch. He is to be invested with
the same authority for the government of the king-
dom of Poland, during the absence of the Prince,
as General Dehn, in 1849.
