RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

A conspiracy has been discovered at Aleppo.
Their object was to plunder and kill the Christian
inhabitants of the towns. The ringleaders had
been arrested and transported to Rhodes.
The Cologne Gazette has the following from
Vienna, dated the 19th :—" A courier arrived to-
day with dispatches from Constantinople, dated
the 13th. They were immediately sent off to the
Turkish Ambassador, who is now at Baden. It
is rumoured that after deliberating for three days
the Porte accepted the propositions of the confer-
ence, but will only ratify them after the evacua-
tion of the Principalities."
The Press of Vienna states from Constantinople
that the Russian Consul at Adrianople, who had
left his post, has received orders from the Russian
Consul-General to return to it forthwith.

Baron do IVleyendorff, son of the Ambassador
of Russia at Vienna, left Trieste on the 17th for
Dalmatia, to proceed to Montenegro, whither he is
carrying, it is said, the order of St. Anne to Prince
Danilo.

A letter from Constantinople of the Bth, in the
Wanderer of Vienna, sintes that M. de Bruck, the
Austrian Internuncio, had declared to the Porte
that in proposing to occupy Servia, the Austrian
government had no desire to make the slightest
attack on the integrity and sovereignty of Turkey,
but merely to aid in the maintenance of order, and
that if the Porte did not consider this aid necessary
the Austrians would not cross the frontier.
A letter from Jassy says :—" General Danuem-
berg, before his departure from our town, set at
liberty all the inhabitants of Moldavia who had
been arrested for resistance to Russia. At the same
time, the inhabitants were informed that they
would be severely punished, if, for the future, they
endeavoured to thwart the views of Russia."

A Count Ostrowsky has published a series of
Slavonian letters in Paris, which show that the
non-success of Prince Menschikoff's mission is the
first step to Russia's downfall ; and, further, that
fall will split the empire into its two component
elements, the Polish and the Muscovite :

"In the next century the world will see with as-
tonishment a powerful and mighty Poland erected on a
new plan, out of the elements it has possessed for a
thousand years, and round it a new cluster grouped, the
United States of Europe ; and where the sceptre of the
Muscovite Czars once swayed, an imposing Sclavonian
Confederation shall stand indestructible in all time."

The tone of the Constantinople and Smyrna
papers is decidedly martial. Among other lucu-
brations on possible contingencies, the Impartial
de Smyrne says—
"lf war begins it will not end for lack of warriors,
for many European celebrities have put their talents
and their courage at the Sultan's disposal. When war
breaks out Turkey will not stand alone ; Europe will
not look on with indifference at this political murder."

The Turkish reports from the camps state that
the most Untiring assiduity and invincible courage
are to be met with everywhere. Tribes are flock-
ing in on all sides to offer their services to the
Sultan ; even the Kurds were come. A corres-
pondent of the Triest Zeitung writes from Con-
stantinople :
" Nobody will believe that the proposals sent from
Vienna to the Czar have met with his approval. Every-
body here speaks of nothing but war ; and some enthu-
siastic Turks go so far as to talk of giving the Russians
a mortal wound on their own ground, and so reconquer-
ing all the territory Turkey has lately lost."

A correspondent of the National Zeitung (Berlin),
writing from Constantinople, under date of the Bth
inst., takes a calmer view' of the matter than we
find in the Turkish papers • he warns his readers
not to allow themselves to be misled by the ac-
counts of the warlike zeal of the Turks.
The definitive reply of the Porte was expected
at Vienna on Saturday evening or on Sunday. The
Wanderer says the passions all of the different par-
ties have been so thoroughly excited, that as soon
as the last Russian regiment has re-crossed the
Pruth things will occur in the two Danubian Prin-
cipalities, and perhaps in Servia, which will war-
rant a new intervention on the basis of certain
stipulations contained in the last treaty of Balta-
Liman. Before General Dannenberg left Jassy
for Bucharest he liberated all the inhabitants
of Moldavia who had been arrested for disobedience
to the Russians. At the same time, however, the
Moldavians were informed that the severest mea-
sures would be adopted if in future they offered
any opposition to the Russian arrangements. A.
Russian Commission, which is examining the Su-
lina mouth of the Danube, is said to have received
orders to draw up a plan for its improvement. The
numerous fires in the Turkish capital are considered
a certain sign of the increasing discontent of the
people with the measures of Government. Halil
Pasha is mentioned as the future Turkish Envoy
to St. Petersburgh.
