RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The Moniteur of yesterday announces in the fol-
lowing terms the entrance of part of the English
and French squadrons into the sea of Marmora
"The last news from Constantinople informs us that
on the application of the Ambassadors of France
and England, in accord with the Ottoman Goverrk-
Inept, two French and two English frigates have
Passed the Dardanelles, and anchored in front of
Constantinople."
The short note in the Moniteur appears to have
40 other importance than this, that it officially con-
firms the intelligence already received from other
80tirces of the passage of the Dardanelles for a cer-
tain portion of the united squadrons. Whether
the., number of frigates be two or three is not of
Tle slightest consequence ; the grand fact remains,
that English and French vessels of war are be-
'Ore Constantinople. I understand from a trust-
Worthy source, that the ambassadors at Con-
stantinople only ordered two vessels at first, in
Order not to create too great alarm, but that the
whole of the squadrons were to follow without de-
taY ; in fact, that it may be looked on as certain
that all the other vessels have before now anchored
to face of Constantinople.
In order to lessen the impression which this de-
nlonstration is calculated to produce on the Emperor
of Russia, the French and English Governments
have directed their ambassadors at Vienna, Baron
de norqueney and Lord Westmoreland, to proceed
t 0 Olmutz, to pay their respects to his Majesty.
They are also directed to embrace with eagerness
any overture that might by possibility be made to-
Wards resuming the negotiations. But the opinion
here, in well-informed circles, is, that no such over-
ture will be made.
Marshal Narvaez has received a letter from Ge-
neral Prim, announcing that he (the latter) has
been placed by the Sultan at the head of a body of
20,000 men. It is to be remarked that General Prim
has not received any authorisation from his own
Government to accept any such post.
Private accounts from the banks of the Danubt
1,,,e the 9th make known several important facts. The
Itussians, who had not quitted Bucharest until the
25th ult., bad just pushed forward two recognis-
ances, the one to Kaletat, a small fortified place in
Wallachia, on the right bank of the Danube, oppo-
site Widdin • and the other to Giorgevo, opposite
zt ,ustchuk. That town has a real strategic importance
153 r reason of the fortress which defends it, and
Which, situated on a small island on the Danube,
commands the river in that part. No judgment
can yet be formed of the plan of the Russians ; but
according to the works of their engineers, they ap-
Pear to intend to make Giorgeve one of their cen-
tres of operations in the south of Wallachia. The
Turks on their side continue to use energetic
means of defence. From Varna to Nicomedia all
the vulnerable points of the river are fortified, the
lefile of Soumondji is impenetrable, and the artil-
lery is under the command of experienced officers.
"pier Pacha is at Tarna ; he shows an unbounded
activity, and is well seconded by his officers.
*caverything shows that if the Russians attempt to
cross the Danube and the Balkans, they will meet
with insurmountable difficulties.
A letter from Moscow, of the 17th, states that
the Emperor of Russia, on leaving Olmutz, will
eruceed to Odessa.
