SYMPATHY FOR THE TURKS IN LESSER

WA.LLACHIA.

Accounts from. Wisidin of the 17th ult., in the
Moniteur, give some details respecting the engage-
ment at Radovan, in Lesser Wallachia, already
mentioned by telegraphic despatch, and of the man-
ner in which the Ottoman troops were received by
the populations. The Turks advancing from
Kalafat to occupy the country abandoned by the
Russians came up with the rear-guard of the latter
near Radovan. Theßussians being sharply attacked,
left 250 men dead on the field of battle. On the
side of the Turks the loss was only three killed and
two wounded. To arrest the pursuit of the Turks,
the Russians, after having passed the river, has-
tened to destroy the bridges. The next day when
the Turkish troops began to re-establish them, the
peasants hastened to furnish them with all the
necessary materials, and to lend every gssistance ;
and when the Ottoman general came to take pos-
session of Krajowa, abandoned the day before by
the enemy, the inhabitants of all classes went out
en masse to meet him, and saluted him as a
liberator.

We read in the Moniteur :—" It will be remem-
bered that the Russian authorities in the principa-
lities had officially announced the intention to eva-
cuate Lesser Wallachia, and that this plan had
received a commencement of execution. The
movement which the Russians thus promised to
execute was represented as a concession made to
the just disquietudes of the German Powers • but
the Emperor of Russia not having obtained 'from
that measure the result which he expected has
given counter orders. Baron Budberg has informed
the Boyards of Bucharest of the fact, adding that
they ought to be delighted at it, as their country
and capital would be in that manner protected
against every enemy. General Danenberg, in dis-
grace since the affair of Oltenitza, is charged with
the command of the corps destined to cover the
positions which the Russians hold on the right '
bank of the Olto."

DEMONSTRATION IN SYRIA.
The news 'of the bombardment of Odessa by the
combined fleets arrived at Aleppo on the 4th ult.,
and was received there with the most lively de-
monstration ofenthusiasm. At the same time that
the cannon of the fortress and the batteries of the
barracks celebrated the event, placards, posted up
on the doors of the khans, and public criers in the
streets, announced the intelligence to the inhabi-
tants.

ST. PETERSBURG.
The Cologne Gazette contains a letter from
St. Petersburg, of May 24, which says :—" We
have received news here from Transcaucasia.
The cavalry of the Turkish corps, stationed near
Kars, after having consumed all the forage in
the neighbourhood of the fortress, had occu-
pied, to the number of 6,000 or 8,000 men,
some villages of Sandschak-Schuragiel, the in-
habitants of which had submitted to Russia
last year. Prince Bebutani sent two battalions,
five hundred Cossacks, and a battery to drive the
Turks from their cantonments. On April 25 the
Turks, on seeing the advance-guard of the Russians
make its appearance, withdrew to Kars, having
had 30 men killed, and 21 made prisoners. The
Russians lost, as usual, their one man. The Em-
peror has passed in review all the troops which are
taking their departure, and the Grand Duke Con-
stantine is occupied with the works of defence of
Riga, Helsingfors, &o. He has several times
visited the forts of Cronstadt. The Emperor has
recovered from his indisposition. Letters from the
interior announce that, with the exception of Mos-
cow, the troops

THE . GERMAN POWERS,
ADVANCE OF AUSTRIAN TROOPS TO THE

FRONTIER.
Letters from Belgrade and Widdin announce,
says the Moniteur, that Austrian troops are every
day descending -the Danube in the direction of
Orsowa, on the frontier of Wallachia. Consider-
able concentrations of troops are being effected in
Hungary and Transylvania.
General Meyerhofer goes from Vienna to Berlin
on a diplomatic misssion—probably also to St.
Petersburg.

DECREE RESPECTING NEUTRALS.
We read in the Austrian Correspondence of
Vienna of the 28th ult.
" The war between Russia, the Porte, and the Western
Powers, has called attention here to the necessity of de-
termining more rigorously the principles relative to
maritime commerce, and to navigation at sea. I has
been heard with satisfaction that the belligerent powers
have resolued to respect the property of the enemy when
found on board neutral vessels, and the property of
neutrals on board enemy's vessels, with the exception of
articles contraband of war, &c. A decree of the Austrian
government of the 25th regulates with detail the con-
duct which Austrian vessels will have to observe under
circumstances of this nature. The fitting out of priva-
teers is absolutely prohibited, and is even considered,
and will be published as piracy. Privateers will not be
admitted into Austrian ports unless in very severe wea-
ther. The conveyance of contraband of war on board
Austrian vessels is made liable to special penalties. The
blockade of a port is to be respected. The good faith
of the belligerent powers being known, Austrian vessels
must submit without resistance. The prizes made by
the naval forces of these powers will only be admitted
into the port of Trieste, and the cargoes cannot be sold
until after legal condemnation by a special tribunal."

It was confidently stated at Vienna yesterday
that the Austrian summons to Russia is equivalent
to an ultimatum.
The Carlsruhe Gazette states that Prince Gorts-
chakoff, the Russian Minister at the Court of
Wurtemberg, has been suddenly recalled to St.
Petersburg, and it is expected that this diplomatist,
whose pacific opinions are well known, will be
charged with a mission to the Courts of Berlin and
Vienna.

A letter from Vienna, 28th ult., states that the
Emperor and Empress of Austria will, in the course
of the present month, visit Moravia, Bohemia, and
Hungary.
The Duke Ernest of Saxe Coburg Gotha left
Vienna on the 27th ult., having only remained in
that capital for six days.
The Prince and Princess of Prussia, who are
now at Baden-Baden, will, it is said, return to
Berlin on the 7th.
The Elberfetel Gazette, as a proof of the affec-
tionate feeling existing between the King and the
Prince of Prussia, states that his Majesty, in reply
to some demand made with respect to the celebra-
tion of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Prince,
recently said—" Everything you do for my brother
is as if you did it for me !"

GREECE.
THE NEW MINISTRY.

Further accounts from Athens state that the new
Ministry will probably be composed as follows :
Mavrocordato—President, and Minister of
Finance.
Kanaris—President ad interim, and Marine.
Rigas Palamedes—lnterior.
Pericles A.argyropulos—Foreign Affairs.
Akpsylos—Pu blic Instruction.
Kalergis—War.
Petrullis—Justice.
The *nlp-French troops which have landed at
the Pir are said to amount to 9,000.

THE BALTIC.
CRISIS IN DENMARK.

We learn from Copenhagen that the Government
prohibited a public meeting at Ringsted, to cele-
brate the fifth anniversary of the constitution, at
which an address to the King, praying the dismis-
sal of Ministers, was to have been proposed.
