TURKEY AND RUSSIA.

The general impression in diplomatic circles is
that the Porte will accept the proposals of the four
Powers, but that the evacuation of the Principali-
ties must be considered a question apart. The
reply of the Porte is expected on Sunday or Mon-
day next. The Turks have now concentrated 50,000
men near Shumla, and 35,000 near Silistria. The
French engineer, Colonel Magnan, is inspecting
the fortifications on the Danube.

A manifesto, in the Turkish language, has been
published, in which the Porte appeals, not to the
religious feelings of the nation, but to its patriotism.
The Mussulmans are admonished not to give way
to their passions, but to prepare for the crisis in a
way becoming men who have rights, justice, and
the sympathy of the whole civilised world on their
side.

On the 28th July Prince Gortshakoff, accom-
panied by nine generals, entered Bucharest, where
he was received by the Hospodar, Stirbey, in full
uniform. The Russian Commander took up his
quarters in the palace of the Grand Logothete
Lentsch, before which the Wallachian militia, with
a band of music, was posted. Twelve thousand Rus-
sians are encamped near Kollentina, close to Bucha-
rest, and one squadron of hussars, whom the citizens
must supply with food three times a day, remains
in the city.

Cushing, left Washington on the 30th ult., for
Berkeley springs, at the request of Mr. Marcy, who

was raging beyond all precedent ; there were
