partiality of Austria for Russia,
her pretended neutrality, while,
hand, Austria complains of the
Turkey of the Austrian refugees. A signal p:
of the little confidence existing between the two
Governments is given by the fact that both are at
the present moment making preparations to stop the
communications between the country now the sea",
of war and Austria, and vice versa. Austria pro"
fesses to feel alarm at the correspondence which 031
take place between the refugees and their parasol's
in Hungary, while Turkey fears that information
may be conveyed to Prince Gortschakoff, through
t
Austria, as to the position, force, and plans e'
Omer Pacha. It appears that the position of Omer
Pacha begins, in front of the overwhelming force
brought against him by Russia, to be the cause of
considerable uneasiness to the friends of Turkel'
and it is said that so great is the alarm of the Oft
toman Government, that it has instructed its AO
bassadors in Paris and London to ask the English
and French Governments to send out a corpste
auxiliaries forthwith, founding the demand on Of
perilous position of Omer Pacha. At the Turkish
Embassy in Paris, no one seems to doubt that
war—a general war—is at hand, but they continue
to complain of the hesitations both of France and
England.

The manner in which the position of Omer Pacl36
fs becoming critical appears to be this :—The at'
rival of the troops under General Osten Sacker
had more • than turned the balance in numb
against the Turkish force. Within five or ad
weeks from the present time, the arrival of t
fourth corps d'armee, said to be 80,000 strong, wf,
render Prince Gortschakoff infinitely more poweriw
in numerical force than the army of Omer Paces'.
The passage of the Danube would then become
easy mattr, and a march on Constantinople VI,
impossible, notwithstanding the presence of °
fleets in the Black Sea.

WARLIKE ADDRESS TO THE CREW OF
H.M.S. THETIS, AT PORTSMOUTH.
The Thetis, Captain Kuper, C. 8., arrived a j
Spithead on Saturday morning, from Plymouth. 1
At one p.m., the Fire Queen, tender to Victor;
Master Commander F. W. Paul, arrived along
the Thetis, with Rear-Admiral Dundas, C. 8., one
of the Lords of the Admiralty, who quickly cat
on board the Thetis, upon which "all hands" wedpiped on the quarter-deck. In a few minutes Av
miral Dundas appeared, and thus addressed tho
assembled crew :

"My men,—l have come down, by request c,;
the Board of Admiralty, to make known to Y°,
that we are on the eve of a war, and that Ic',
with Russia. My object, therefore, in addressin,
you by desire of their lordships is to prepare Yeo
for such event ; and I am sure that you lIA
/
receive this announcement as becomes Englishoei,
and British sailors. It is my duty to inform Y°,
that the country cannot dispense with your se'„
vices, however hard it may appear after your havi.ll,
:
been away for so long a period ; yet the exigenci
of the service must be paramount to all other 0.3 i
siderations. Instead, therefore, of your being Pio
off, you will all be paid down. You shall hal%
a few weeks' run, after which I feel assured
will,act as British seamen ever have done in Ltl
lid, e
fence of their country. I trust you will rece,lt,
this communication in its right and proper 1
and I make this known to you thus early to 13';11
vent any feelings of disappointment. I 11%
earnestly to hope that the evil may yet pass o°,lr i
but we must be prepared for any and every al"
gency. Pipe down. "
The admiral shortly after returned on board ill°
Fire Queen, and came into harbour.

FRANCE.
It was reported on Saturday, in Paris, that
de Kisseleff, the Russian Ambassador had receic,4
his letter of recal that morning ; but the rel3°,
wanted confirmation. It is said that should til
Russian Ambassadors in Paris and Londono

retire to the Hague, where they will wait for 10,
ther orders. It is also said that M. de KieLeiteo,
after an interview with Louis Napoleon on To d
day, withdrew from the Bank of France the DI"
