RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

From Bucharest, Oct. 21, we learn that General
Dannenberg, commander of the 4th army corps,
arrived there on the previous day by appointment,
had a short interview with Prince Gortschakoff,
and returned to the camp near Frateschti.
The main force of the Russians is encamped on
an elevation near this city, which is surrounded
with a breastwork and redoubts where several
hundred guns are planted.
A steamer which reached Dzurdzuru on the 19th
brought the report that a strong Turkish army
stood opposite Kalafat, under the personal com-
mand of Omer Pacha, and that the Russians were
working by relays, day and night, at the intrench-
nients, which extend from Smirda to Dzurdzuru.
The Austrian consul-general is recalled, and is
to be succeeded by a member of the embassy at
Constantinople.
The directors of the Danubian Steam Navigation
Company announce that, on account of hindrances
which have suddenly arisen, the navigation of the
lower Danube is suspended.
The semi-official journal of Vienna now indi-
rectly ratifies the report of the engagement at
Isactcha, on the 23d, by explaining, that the Rus-
si an flotilla was going up the Danube, and not
across it, when fired on.
It appears that the passage of the Danube was
known to the French Government on Monday
evening. The Minister of Foreign Affairs received
a telegraphic despatch from M. de Bourqueney,
the French Minister at Vienna, which corroborated
the news, and formally announced that on the
27th ult. a body of 30,000 Turkish infantry and
400 cavalry, after passing the Danube, had ad-
vanced as far as Radowan, which is half-way to
E.Taiowa, the capital of the Lesser Wallachia. The
reason assigned for the evacuation of this part of
Wallachia was the mortality prevailing in the
Russian camp. The despatch adds that the re-
mainder of the army was still crossing, and that it
was thought that there would be a collision be-
tween the two armies on the 28th. It is believed
however in Paris by persons whose opinion is en-
titled to respect that the disposition shown by the
Sultan to enter into a new arrangement will stop
the hostilities, even though they may have com-
menced. It is right, however, to state that this is
not the opinion at the Turkish embassy at Paris,
where the opinion is openly expressed that the period
for negotiation has passed, and that in the present
state of affairs it is impossible to prevent a deci-
sive struggle between the two armies. At the
Russian embassy, also, where hitherto the utmost
confidence was expressed, serious 'doubts are en-
tertained as to the maintenance of peace.
In addition to what had been already stated of
the new project of arrangement, it is said that the
Emperor of Russia has declared that his acceptance
of it was on condition that England and France
guaranteed its acceptance by the Porte, which, it
was understood, was declined, neither beinc, dis-
posed to use coercion. He, however, added that
the present was the last proposition he should
-accept or make, and the King of Prussia said that
if it were rejected he should withdraw altogether
from any interference in the matter.
Letters of the 23d ult. from Constantinople
vitt Vienna. They speak of the • patriotic ar-
dour still prevailing there, but mention no fact
worthy of notice. Mamik Pasha, who is charged
with the negotiation of the loan, had put off his
departure to- the 25th, and the Thabor, which is
expected this day at Marseilles, will, in all pro-
bability, bring him. The letter also speaks of
"rumours" of the new project of arrangement, of
the success of which it expresses doubts.
Letters from St. Petersburg of the 22d ult. 'an-
nounce that Prince Paskiewitsch was admitted to
an audience on the preceding day, to take leave of
the Emperor on his departure to assume the com-
mand of the Russian army in. the Danubian
provinces.

The Oesterreichisch,e Correspondenz has a semi-offi-
cial article on the Eastern question. In this article

it is said that the conviction which is prevalent in
London and Paris of the sincerity of the Austrian
and Prussian neutrality strengthens the hopes of a
peaceful solution of pending differences. The
war has, indeed, commenced, but merely as
matter of form. It ought not to awaken the ap-
prehension of the public, especially since hostilities
have been suspended, and the diplomatists are
still actively engaged in preserving the peace-
But the work of the union and of the cordial
understanding of the great. Powers cannot be
handed over to the manoeuvring of political parties,
and to the discussion of the journals. Thanks to'
the extreme moderation of the Russian Court, the'
ground which the diplomatists have gained remains
intact ; and if elements which escape the influenco
of statesmen were to obstruct a spoedy arrange'
meat, which Europe desires, still the joint efforts
of the European States to avoid a conflict justify
completely the reflective attitude of
diplomacy.
Vain are the efforts of the RRevolutionrY partY to'
undermine the confidence of the Europeaii Cobinets..
The most perfect understanding exists a%mong tho
great powers, and this harmony (says the Corr,
pondenz) justifies our hope of the restoration of,
firm and durable peace in the East. If thO
0
matists succeed in establishing such a peace, the''
will have served the States and the nations fax
better than they would by gratifying their momerN"
tary curiosity or serving their temporary interest:o
The following is from Marseilles,. Oct. 29 :----ae
Majesty's steamer Caradoc, Lieutenant Parini"
reached our port late last night, with despatcbe
from Lord Redcliffe for Lord Clarendon. Th'
11_
Caradoc quitted Constantinople on the 23d. It
said that the purport of the despatch is the copy!!
the answer made by the Sultan to a note received
on the 22nd from Vienna, and that the Sultan most
peremptorily declines being a party to any futures
negotiations until the Russians shall have coal-
3ted the Danubian provinces. Such was the en-
thusiasm in the capital of Turkey, that a work a'
could not be obtained at any price ; every able
bodied man having joined the army. The apPen,ahr'
ante of Constantinople was most singular.
Turks preserved their usual sangfroid and alio.t"pi:
yet on each face might be observed a certain seer'f.
animation and satisfaction. They doubted n°%,
success, and would be greatly disappointed ellinr,
negotiations, in which they have no faith, delay
their present struggle with Russia. Provis`°lli.
