CONSTANTINOPLE.
JUNE I.—On Tuesday there was a grand dinner
at the British Embassy to the Duke of Cambridge.
The Highlanders to the number of 150 lined the
passages, and an Italian band regaled the ears of
the company up stairs. The chief incident in the
evening was the speech of bT von Bruck, the Aus-
trian InternAncio. His Excellency proposed the
independence and integrity of the Ottoman Em-
pire, and declared that his Government was ready
to uphold the principle laid down in the pro-
tocol of the four powers. He applauded the firm-
ness of the western powers, which was likely to re-
sult in a settlement such as would be beneficial to
Europe and afford assurances of a permanent
peace. Three cheers were given at this de-
claration, the British Ambassador giving the
signal. In after conversation the Internuncio
declared himself authorised to use the ex-
pressions which had elicited so much applause.
There was a grand review yesterday of the whole
of the remaining British force. It took place in the
plain of nyder Pasha, at Scutari, where our army
was stationed. The Sultan was present, followed
by about 200 of the principal persons of the State.
Though rather unpunctual, for the troops were
kept waiting from half-past 11 to 2 olcbck, the
necessities of Ramazan formed a sufficient excuse.
The personal appearance of the Sultan was much
superior to that presented on ordinary occasions.
The excitement of the hour and the novelty of the
spectacle gave animation to a countenance which is
generally worn and downcast. His Highness
laughed and talked with European vivacity, and
appeared to enjoy the operations of a force which
if not numerous is most brilliant in its appearance
and skilful in its evolutions. The troops amounted
to 10,000 men, and were commanded by Lord
Raglan. The Earl of Cardigan was at the head of
the cavalry, the Lancers having been brought from
Kouleh for the occasion. The crowd was enormous,
and the effect must be favourable to the reputation
of the English army amongst our allies, who, to
speak the truth, have been heretofore rather im-
pressed with the superior energy and vigour of the
French Commanders.

WALLACHIA.
The following letter has just been received from
the head-quarters of the army of Wallachia :
" Head-Quarters of the Army of Wallachia,
Krova, June .
"I feel delighted to be the first (as I I
hope) to an-
nounce to you the news of a victory which we have
gained over the Russians, in the first place at Slatina,
and then at Karakal. It is positively the finest of the
campaign, while for the Russians it is the most complete
and most shameful of defeats, As the courier is wait-
ing for my letter I must reserve my details for another
occasion, and content myself now with giving you
merely the leading facts. Here they are :—Four regi-
ments of cavalry, of whom three were regulars, and one
of our friends the Bashi-Bazouks, left Krajova, our
head-qtrtrters, in the morning Of the 28th, and moved
on Slatina, on the Aluta, where, as we were in-
formed, the Russians were concentrated. On the
morning of the 29th they were perceived in large
force at Slatina. There was only an unimportant skir-
mish. They moved on Karakal, while the Turks
followed hot foot, and on the 30th May, exactly at
noon, the affair began. We had, as I have already
told you, four regiments of cavalry, about 3,500
horses, and no cannon, while the Russians had four
regular regiments, viz.—the Ist and 10th Hussars, the
9th Lancers, and the 2d Dragoons, six pieces of
artillery, and 500 Cossacks. Owing to the admirable
tactics of Ismael Pasha and Skender Beg, this force
was soundly thrashed before 4 o'clock. The num.
l)ers:and results, as given officially, are 1,009 Bosuns

LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna confirms
in-substance the one published yesterday as to the
satisfactory nature of the late conference between
the Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia.
It says it was perfectly consistent with tho avowed
policy. No diplomatic note resulted therefrom ;
no pen was put to paper.

The policy- of the minor German States formed
the chief object of discussion.

It also repeats the rumour that Colonel Man-
teuffel will proceed shortly to St. Petersburg with
a Prussian note, supporting the recent Austrian
,note.

The Borsenhalle, of Hamburg, under date of
Vienna, Bth, says :—" The mission of General
Mayerhofer at Berlin is falsely interpreted by the
majority of the journals. It is generally pretended
that it has for object the settlement of some second-
ary points of the Austro-Prussian Convention,
particularly as regards the preliminary arrange-
ments, but such is not the case. General Mayer-
hofer, who has for several years past exercised the
functions of Austrian Consul-General in Servia,
and who is one of the first Austrian diplomatists,
has acquired during his residence in the Principa-
lities such,a complete knowledge of the state of the
country, that the intrigues of the Russian agents,
and their efforts to bring the inhabitants over to
their ideas, have not escaped him. The true ob-
ject of the mission of the general is to make known
to the Court of Prussia the intrigues which have
lately exteided. into Gallicia, Croatia, Irc."

THE AUSTRIAN ULTIMATUM.
The Trieste
.Gazette, under date of Vienna,
says :—" The peremptory delay which Austria has
fixed in her note for the evacuation of the Princi-
palities by Russia is, it is said, 40 days, which will
be consequently expired at the end of July. Austria
is said to have promised, in case she receives a
satisfactory reply, to act with the Western Powers,
in concert with Prussia, in order to induce them
to withdraw the auxiliary troops within a given
time, and to raise the blockade of the Russian ports.
The Principalities would be afterwards replaced in
their former 6tate. A Congress of the Great Powers
would then meet in a ueutraltown, and a new treaty
would be concluded between Russia and the Porte,
ender the guarantee of the Great European Powers.
We know not whether these particulars are exact,
but it is certain that little hopes are entertained of
A satisfactory reply to the last note, and that there
Are great difficulties in the way of a diplomatic ar-
rangement."

A- letter from Vienna of the Bth, in the Breslau
Gazette, says :—" Count Buol Schauenstein left
yesterday for Prague to make a report to the Em-
peror. This report is of the greatest import-
ance. Here people are prepared for the worst,
dl hope of seeing the Czar yield, even to the
3ummons of Austria, being lost. The regiments
in garrison in this city have received orders to
march. Some changes have been made in the
tirection they are to take ; thus, instead of
going to Transylvania, they will go to Galicia,
and particularly to Cracow. Great importance is
ascribed to the arrival of General Boredeck, chief
of the staff of the army of Italy. He has been
summoned here from Verona, and will no doubt be
entrusted with a command in Galicia. It is cer-
tain that it will be Pri'ice Gortzchakoff, ambassa-
dor of the Czar-to the Germanic Confederation and
at Stuttgardt, who will bring the reply to the Aus-
trian note. General Count Stachelberg, an attache
of the Russian legation at Vienna, leaves to-day for
Munich and Carlsruhe on a private mission."
