THE BLACK SEA.

" VARNA, July 9.—The Caradoc, steam-despatch
vessel, Lieut.-Commander Derriman, leaves this
evening with Lord Raglan's despatches. I have
little news to tell you further than was contained
in my last. Reports have reached us of the Aus-
trians marching on Widdin, and a colonel being
sent to form a part of Lord Raglan's staff. Two
transports arrived yesterday with cavalry from
England, and the English have now 22,000 effective
fighting men. A party of seamen and sappers from
the fleet have gone to the Danube to construct
boats, rafts, and bridges, for the passage of the
troops. The Russians are falling back and destroy-
ing everything as they go."
Another letter, dated Baltchick, July 9, says :
" The fleets are still at anchor, and while the armies
are this side of the Danube there is little chance of
either fleet going to sea. There is a flying squad-
ron off Sebastopol, and detached steamers off the
mouth of the Danube to prevent supplies and com-
munication. The steamer Fury had left the fleet
yesterday, with Russian prisoners to exchange.
She will bring back those of the Tiger, when there
will be a court-martial on the surviving officers and
men. The weather excessively hot. A seaman of
the Rodney was shot by a midshipman of
.that ship,
and died this morning. The boy was trying a re-
volver, and the pistol went off by accident."
The Lloyd of Vienna has Cr following from
Odessa, dated 7th :—" The allied fleet, accom-
panied,by a great number of transports, was pro-
ceeding probably to Anapa and Rowaro-Tyrsck,
the two last points preserved by the Russians
on the Caucasian coast. It is said that 12,000
men are to be found there. The fortifications
of this place are provided with a considerable
number of pieces of 36, with mortars recently
brought from the interior of Russia. It is cal-
culated that 25,000 men are here and in the
neighbourhood."

MOVEMENTS OF THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
A letter from Lemberg, 13th, says :—" Count
Schlick, the Commander-in-Chief of the corps
d'armee of Gallicia, arrived here yesterday, and to-
day the Archduke Charles Louis gives a grand
dinner on the occasion. The last military mea-
sures of Russia prove that she expects a war with
Austria. Troops are hastily marching from the
interior of Poland on Podolia and Volhynia, par-
ticularly cavalry, as the employment of that force
in the plains of Podolia is much relied on. The
Cossacks have been called from all parts of the
country, but they are for the most part irregulars.
The concentration of troops in Podolia, on the line
of the Sereth, and near the defiles of Transylvania
are much more considerable than on our northern
frontier towards Volhynia. It is also said that
numerous bodies of troops are being assembled
near Cracow. The Russians are seeking to cover
the approaches to the Crimea in Bessarabia. The
coasts of the Baltic, on the contrary, are nearly
cleared of troops. It is stated that the hereditary.
Grand Duke will positively have the Command-
in-Chief of the army of the south, and have witht
him Prince Gortschakoff and Gen. Tchernischoif.

MOVEMENTS OF Ol\iER PACHA.
We extract the following from a letter dated
Constantinople, July 1Q j--I 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 adjustment. 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 Schunala 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 bellion, 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 _Mats 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 august
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. J3l,
the silence which sho has observed to the summons o'
Franee and England, tending to the evacuation of these
principalities, Russia has placed herself in a state of Ws
with the two Western Powers, and by that has given t°
the struggle a fresh and so great an extension that it ill
impossiolo to foresee the disastrous consequences that mat
result from it.
" The Emperor Nicholas cannot be ignorant to what
point the interests of the Austrian empire, which are con'
founded in many respects with those of Germany, haf°
already suffered in a political, commercial, and mannfal;
turing point of view from this prolonged occupation. -10
is also evident that these evils must inc: ease in pronorti°
to the extension given to the theatre of war.
" In this serious state of things, the Emperor, our nil:
gust master, penetrated with the duties imposed upon 1111;;
by the care of the interests of his people, sees hintse'.
compelled to accept, by the protocol of which a copy is a
nexed, engagements from the accomplishment of which
he cannot withdraw.
"The Emperor of Russia in weighing all these consi"
derations, will appreciate the importance which the EP:
peror, our august muster, must attach to the Russi!_ne
armies not extending their operations further in VI.,
countries beyond the Danube, and that he should on EP:
side furnish positive indications as to the precise periods
and we hope not a distant one, when an end will be Pot'
to the occupation of the principalities.
" The Emperor Nicholas, we doubt not, wishes for pence'
He will, consequently, consider on the means of puttit4
an end to a state of things which tends every day more ano
more to become for Austria and Germany a fruitful source
of calamities. He will not wish, by an indetertninate
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 corn Pry
raised by the present state of things.
" Have the goodness, M. le Comte, in reading the Pre;
sent despatch to Count Ness lrode, and in handing hin.ji
copy of it, to point out the particular value which we at
to receiving prompt and precise declarations, which goy
serve to tranquillise our own interests, and at the same tiwe'
serve to put an end to the horrors of war.—Accept,

is with profound regret that his Majesty has
nessed up to this time the failure of all the efforts wb' 6
his cabinet has made to put an end to a state of thing.
which is not only one of the principal reasons of

the Emperor Nicholas will only see therein motives for 8210

master, must attach to the Russian armies not extenu'A
their operations further in the Danubian provinces, Iv
that a not distant term may be put to the occupation of
