RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

It appears to be so generally credited in Paris
that, should hostilities break out between the Turks
and Russians, material assistance will be given to

the former by the English and French Govern
rnents, that it is now a matter of discussion. NOTt
particular point an expeditionary force would 17
likely to occupy. Two have already been spoken
of. There is a third point, however, which Pre;
sents more facilities, and would promise better
results than either. Between the point at villic2l
the Danube makes an abrupt turn in its upVia`
course towards Galatz and the Black Sea, the group
is the narrowest of all that extends from the rigor
to the coast—that is, between Rassova, on the
Danube, and Kestendje, on the Black Sea. 111 the
event of the Turks being discomfited, a force emu"
pying that position might act as a check on.
Russian army, which, after crossing the DainiDed
would continue to march towards Adrianople/ and
menace Stamboul. The expeditionary force wn
not be obliged to make any long marches by laved
but could be conveyed entirely by sea, and lanf,,
th
e
Danube the coast. It would be high up between To
Danube and the Balkan, and be in the rear of tb
Russians in the event of their moving southwar%
That position is considered superior in a strategic
point of view to either Rodosto, or the sea of Mat
mom, or Roustchouk, which is nearly in the cent,
of the line of the Danube. Whatever be the fina
issue of the war, it is probable that in the eoli
mencement the resistance offered by the Turks
be more formidable than in 1828. • 00
The presence of the Duke of Nemours in
neighbourhood of the Turkish camp, travel"l
under the name of Samblon, and accompanied, 09
a talented officer of the name of de Reillez, glr
rise to many conjectures and some uneasiness•
is, however, concluded by the more tranquil te;
peraments, that the Duke was only studying tr
military positions en amateur. A Russian offs°et'o
said to be on a mission to Greece, was known
be staying in Constantinople under a feigned 01;3

A private letter from Constantinople of the 101,

given by the Porte to wage war on the Rugiwo
