RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

A private telegraphic dispatch from Vienna,
dated yesterday, has been received in Paris ; it is
to this effect :—"The Russian Cabinet has definitely
refused to accept the modifications demanded by.
the Purte. A new memorandum from Russia is ex-
pected." If the words "a new memorandum from.
Russia is expected" be not an interpolation or ad-
dition made here, the dispatch would show that
the period of negotiation is not over, and that there
is no reason to suppose that hostilities are instantly
to commence between Russia and Turkey, unless
indeed Omer Pasha's army has followed the impulse
of enthusiasm, and disregarded everything except
the desire to attack the Russians. Indeed a rumour
to that effect is current, though in all probability it
is incorrect. The story goes that Omer Pasha, un-
able to restrain his men, was forced to lead them
on to combat ; that the Danube was crossed ; that
an engagement ensued, in which the Russians, at
first, had the worst of it, but after five days' fight-
ing had got the upper hand ; and that at last an
armistice was concluded.

The Cologne Gazette under date of Constanti-
nople Ist inst., says :—" Mehemed Pacha, the new
Governor of Adrianople, having arrived in th-it
city, summoned to him the notabilities of all reli-
gions, and addressing himself in the first place to
the Rayahs, said—' I hava to explain to yon the
confidence with which you inspire the Government,'
and he afterwards said to the Mussulmans, ' I refer
you to the precepts of your religion which say that
the life of the Rayahs is yours, their property
yours, and their honour yours. If, therefore, a
hair falls from the head of a Rayah, if he loses a
pin, if he has suffered from a word or a gesture,
we should have to render an account of it before
God.' Then turning towards the Ulemas, he con-
tinued—' You, doctors of the law, say whether such
are not the commands of our law, and the precepts
of our religion.' Yes,' replied they unanimously.
Thus,' continued the Mehemed, our duty is to
love and to protect the Rayahs. Our creed is dif-
ferent; but if in obeying the law we pray in the mos-
que, the Christians in the church, and the Jews in
the eynagogue, we are not the less all the faithful
subjects of the Sultan ; we are therefore brothers,
and we ought to love each other as such.' "
The Press of Vienna states that a very active
correspondence is being carried on on the subject
of Servia, between Prince Gortschakoff and the
Divan. "A courier, sent by the General to
Reschid Pacha, had been," says a correspondent of
the Press, "intercepted by the Turkish advanced
posts, and conducted to the camp of Omer Pacha.
He afterwards proceeded, and had for some dis•
tance a military escort. When near Varna, he
narrowly escaped being murdered by a troop of
fanatic soldiers."

A letter from Constantinople, of the Ist, an-
nounces the arrival there, from Odessa, of M.
Argyropulo, the first dragoman of the late Russian
Embassy in the Turkish capital. The return of
M. Argyropulo caused considerable sensation. On
the day of his arrival he visited the Turkish Mi-
nister, and afterwards went to Bujukdere, where
he had a long interview with the French Ambas-
sador, who is stated to have immediately ordered
the Egyptus steamer, which was about to leave
the port, to wait for new and important dispatches
to his Government. Another letter of the same
date states that, on the night of the 30th, a paper,
exciting the Turks to war, was posted up in several
parts of the city. On the following morning it was
torn down by the police.
Further news from Constantinople of the same
date say :—The levy of 80,000 men of the second
class of the militia continues with great activity,
and large detachments of recruits are on their
march to join the army of the Danube.
Orders have been issued for the formation of a
reserved corps at Adrianople, under the orders of
Mehemet Ruchdi Pasha, chief of the Imperial
Guard.

On the 30th of August the Sultan held a review
of the Egyptian troops. The members of the French
embassy were present.
On the special demand of the representatives of
the foreign Powers, the Sultan has adjourned the
publication of his manifesto, in which he appeals
in the most bellicose language to the nation. The
manifesto is, in fact, really and truly a declaration
of war.

Lord Carlisle has left Constantinople for Bagdad.
It is known that the Porte has expressed a de-
sire that the four Powers should guarantee that
Russia shall not be allowed at any future time to
take an improper advantage of the concessions that
may be made to her in the settlement of the
Eastern question. The Weser Gazette states
that the Cabinet of Vienna has refused to be a
party to any guarantee of this kind.
The Presse of Vienna has the following from Bu-
charest, 4th inst. :—" We have had a grand review
of troops, at which the Hospodar Prince Stir Bey
was invited to be present, but he excused himself
on the plea of indisposition. Prince ,Gortschakoff
passed the review, and afterwards issued an order
of the day in which he praised the conduct of the
troops, and called on them to persevere in their
oaths of fidelity towards the Emperor. Tilenourde
ssira
of the day concluded with these words :

in pursuit of him.
Both the Ost. Deutsche Post and Wanderer have
letters of the Ist from Constantinople. A few days
after Redschid Pasha had sent off the modified
note to Vienna, M. de la Cour made another
attempt to induce the Porte to re consider the
matter, but in vain. As Lord Stratford had

pint

lieve that the same harmony no longer existed
between the French and English Cabinets. The
Russian party at Constantinople speaks of a pro-
bable change in the Turkish Cabinet, with Riza
Pasha, the ex-Minister of War, instead of Mehemet
Ali Pasha, the present Seraskier, who has incurred
the displeasure of Russia in a higher degree than
any of his colleagues. In Crajova, close to the Bul-

case when the Russians occupied the PrinelPal
lities. All the Russian steam-frigates got up their
steam on the Ist, but it was not known what WO
intended.

ITALY.
Oa the 29th August Monsignor Rossi, the Pa
'Pal
Delegate at Ravenna, arrived at the capital as a
fugitive, an attempt having been made on his life.,
The trigger of a loaded pistol, which was poillte.
at him, was pulled, but fortunately the cap a no.
explode. On the 30th the Delegate was adnaitte.od
to the presence of his Holiness, who gave him
understand that his own harsh behaviour was Wl'
principal cause of the discontent which prevail
in the province. The Governatore of Terni has
been put to death by the people. The corre-
spondent of the Augsburg Gazette, at Rome, viritt
that the unfortunate man is reported to have eel,:
that when there was no more flour the pe°P,'
might eat straw. The account given of his cleat?!
is, that four persons having tossed him out of 'WU
window into the street, the people ill-treated
and stuffed his mouth with straw. Eight ear"l-
- who came to his assistance, were more or lei
seriously wounded, and obliged to seek safetylll
flight. A strong detachment of soldiers had bee
sent from Rome to Terni, to restore order. Are
cording to a correspondent of the Journal
Frunkfort, the conspirators at Rome did not,.
had been stated, intend to blow up the Ceslll°,,
frequented by the French officers, and during w,'"
disorder to assassinate the Pope and the Cardinal
but simply to seduce the French soldiers from thei
duty. Among the leading men arrested are Doe
Raffaelle, a priest, the brothers Segnali, and the
engineer Rumili, among whose papers was WI
the plan of the projected insurrection.

AUSTRIA.
We have already announced the discovery of til:
long lost regalia of Hungary. A letter from Vienne
states that the Crown of St. Stephen, with thd
globe and cross, are uninjured, as well as the swot_
and sceptre. These articles are to be removed to
Vienna under military escort.
According to a judgment recently delivered. by
the Superior Tribunal of Vienna in a civil tr

monarchy, could not, before the revolution of 1:
possess landed property, are now authorised to par'
chase it.
