MOVEMENTS OF OMER PACHA.

We extract the following from a letter dated
Constantinople, July 10 have just received

news which announces that Omer Paella is pro-
ceeding to Rutschuk with a body of 30,000 men ;
25,000 Ottoman troops, with 5,000 cavalry, are
already there. It was by many thought that a
passage of the Danube at that place was projected.
by the Turks. I can assure you, from most positive
authority, that the Ottoman commander-in-chief has
received orders on no account to cross the Danube.
Persons are not wanting who express great asto-
nishment at the retreat of the Russians from Silis-
tria not having been followed up with more energy,
and. the blame is laid at the door of diplomacy.
The Turco-Greek differences are on the high road to-
wards adjusianent. A commission has been named,
composed of English, French, and Greek members.
Rustem Bey left yesterday for Greece, to act as
Turkish commissioner. Everybody is anxiously in-
quiring what the next move will be, and nobody
knows. The Eastern difficulties seem likely to be
thrown back on the hands of diplomacy again, from
which they had fairly emancipated. themselves.
Everything continues tranquil here, whilst the
capital is nearly deserted, on account of the exces-
sive heat that has set in. Count Zamoiski, who
has been for the last few months endeavouring to
bring about the formation of a Polish legion,
left for Varna and Sehunala last week. It cannot
be said that any success has crowned his endeavours.
There are a good many—indeed, too many—Polish
officers attached. to the Turkish army in Asia.
Count de Mefray, of the National Guard of Paris,
has just been named colonel in the Ottoman army,
and is also about to leave for Kars. The speech
of Lord Lyndhurst on the 19th, in the House of
Lords, has created a great sensation amongst the
reading public at Constantinople ; and the reply of
Lord Clarendon, which puts aside all idea of a re-
turn to the status quo ante bellum, has given much
satisfaction. According to trustworthy accounts
that have been received here, the Russians, in re-
treating from Wallachia, are carrying off all the
valuables they can lay their hands on, inclusive of
the church plate, &c. They have possessed them-
selves of the funds deposited by the inhabitants
with the chief of every village. The other day
a council was, held at the Porte, which was at-
tended by the representatives of Austria and
Great Britain. The Ottoman Government is
desirous of sending a body of troops into Wal-
lachia, at the same time that Austria commences
the military occupation of the Danubian pro-
vinces. This was opposed by the internuncio.
Matters have, however, been satisfactorily ar-
ranged. The two Hospodars purposed returning
conjointly with the Austrian army, which is not
in accordance with the views of the Turkish Ca-
binet. The exclusive occupation of Wallachia and
Moldavia by Austrian forces does not meet the
views of the Porte. It has, however, been agreed
that no Ottoman force will be sent there for the
present, but simply commissaries, to act in the
name of the Sultan.

TEXT OF THE AUSTRO-PRUSSIAN
SUMMONS TO RUSSIA.
The Journal des Daats publishes the following
as the text of the Austrian and Prussian summons
to the Czar to evacuate the Principalities
‘‘ TO COUNT ESTERHAZY, AT ST. PETERSBURG.
" Vienna, July 3.
"In presence of the great crisis which keeps Europe in
a state of anxious expectation, the Emperor, our augnst
master, has resolved to address himself once more to the ,
magnanimous sentiments of the Emperor Nicholas, by in•
viting him to weigh the urgent necessity of seeking some
means of putting an end to a state of things so threatening
for all positions and all interests.
" It is impossible to conceal that the occupation of the
two principalities of the Danube by the Russian troops
has been one of the principal causes of the disquieting de-
velopment which the present quarrel has taken, and that
at this very time it is that measure which has caused the
failure of all attempts to arrive at a pacific solution. /3/
the silence which she has observed to the summons of
France and England, tending to the evacuation of these
principalities, Russia has placed herself in a state of War
with the two Western Powers, and by that has given to
the struggle a fresh and so great an extension that it
impossible to foresee the disastrous consequences that mat
result from it.
" The Emperor Nicholas cannot be ignorant to what a
point the interests of the Austrian empire, which are al'
founded in many respects with those of Germany, have
already suffered in a political, commercial, and mantifal:
turing point of view from this prolonged occupation. 1"
is also evident that these evils must inc: ease in proportion
to the extension given to the theatre of war.
" In this serious state of things, the Emperor, our air
gust master, penetrated with the duties imposed upon hit 3
by the care of the interests of his people, sees hire
se'L
compelled to accept, by the protocol of which a copy is ael:
nexed, engagements from the accomplishment of whiel"
he cannot withdraw.
" The Emperor of Russia in weighing all these consi'
derations, wilt appreciate the importance which the E.o2'
peror, our august master, must attach to the Russia!
armies not extending their operations further in Or
countries beyond the Danube, and that he should on his ,
side furnish positive indications as to the precise period
and we how+ not a distant one, when an end will be pa.
to the occupation of the principalities.
" The Emperor Nicholas, we doubt not, wishes for peace.
He will, consequently, consider on the means of puttini
an end to a state of things which tends every day more an
more to become for Austria and Germany a fruitful source
of calamities. He will not wish, by an indeterminate
duration of that occupation, or by attaching to the evacua-
tion conditions the accomplishment of which will be in-
dependent of our will, to impose on the Emperor Franc°,
Joseph the imperious duty of himself devising the mean'
for protecting the interests which are so seriously comPrc"
raised by the present state of things. e•
" Have the goodness, M. le Comte, in reading the pry
sent despatch to Count Ness lrode, and in handing hunch
copy of it, to point out the particular value which we atta
to receiving prompt and precise declarations, which re!
serve to tranquillise our own interests, and at the same t,'
serve to put an end to the horrors of war.—Accept,

"TO BARON DE WORTIIERN. 1-n •
" Berlin July •_.„
" The Cabinet of Vienna has just communicated to Iv'
the despatch which Count de Bunt, by order of the 13:1.
peror, has addressed to the Austrian envoy at St. Peelle
burg, in order that he may read it to Count de Nesselrod°,
and furnish him with a copy of it. We find in that cl,e;
spatch, on the subject of the occupation of the princiPVh'
ties by the Russian troops, views which are participate
a '—
by the King, our august master.
" It is with profound regret that his Majesty has oil;
nessed up to this time the failure of all the efforts vi'll'e„.o
his cabinet has made to put an end to a state of thinube
which is not only one of the principal reasons of
present struggle, but which excites the greatest une;
ness, and the sad consequences of which must rioce.„
sarily increase by a more prolonged and extended dungtion. Since, in a state of things which so nearly 03°4
so many positions and so many interests, the EroPer,,
of Austria has once more addressed himself to the °',.o
alted sentiments of the Emperor of Russia, in order
prevent the development of these imminent danger 3
the King, our august master, cannot but give his suPP%
to this proceeding of the Austrian Cabinet. According 7
the orders of his Majesty, I beg you, in Iles.consequ:
M. le Baron, to also make known to Count de 0
selrode the protocol of the 9th April, a copy of which is 140,
nexed, and to express to his Excellency our confidence tub..
the Emperor Nicholas will only see therein motives for 10"
mitting to an impartial appreciation the high value whicln
well as the Emperor Francis Joseph, the King, our aorng
master, must attach to the Russian armies not extenoq
their operations further in the Danubian provinces, 0430,
that a not distant term may be put to the occupation oh. .
provinces by his armies. The King cannot separate iTo
self from the conviction that his august brother- n-laBc3
his wisdom has only to follow a path in conformity WlOO
his own interests as well as with his preceding declarati(?eb
to bring the questions in dispute, by the assurances vibi a
respond to the just solicitude of the Courts of Berlin o.:otg ,
of Vienna, on a ground which offers practical star .b,
points, and lead to a satisfactory solution by circumsolt,.
ing warlike action on both sides. Our august master hero,
that the present proceeding will meet with a reception fr°o
the Emperor of Russia conformably to the Boutin:lol,n
which dictated it, and that the reply will be of a nature vt;
withdraw the King from the painful necessities impose_d°,
him by his duties and his engagements.--Have the goodo7t
Monsieur le Baron, to communicate this despatch to
Chancellor of the Empire.

THE BALTIC.
STOCKHOLM, July 14.—1 t is stated in a letter fre
Finland that then: are at present only 150 soldiaP;i:
exclusive of " a few Cossacks," in Wasa 30°,„5
Gamla Carleby, with one field-piece, and e° .n,
" rusty town-guns," and 360 in Christina,
eluding 30 Cossacks. The inhabitants have Per-;
tionefthe Governor-General of Finland for D 3,0.4
troops, but up to the Bth inst. the request 110
not been complied with. At Wasa the inhabitatto
were lately occupied in erecting a battery tt a
entrance of the canal, but the only guns at
b 11e9'.1ig
were a few half worn-out ones, which, on ,416
tried, were deemed anything but satisfactory
writer adds that the inhabitants of the above to7i:
entertain no hope of being able to offer any resl:o
ante to the English, and that they chiefly rely
the narrowness of the channels.
There are good grounds for stating that the
peror of Russia is concentrating his best soldiell,o
the elite in fact of his army—in Finland, and for
he is fully convinced that the destiny of his 00,1310
will be decided not an the shores of the Black m°
but on those of the Gulf of Finland. of
The Post Tidning states that the Emper°_,-10
Russia lately visited Cronstadt, and expressea
approbation of the newly erected batteries. oe

be the repealing of the law forbidding any 00,
testant subjects of Sweden to change their religiv,
under pain of perpetual banishment from the I°,,i;s

threatened with that penalty.
