RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The French Government received on Tuesday
night fromViennala telegraph dispatcliconfirmingthe
intelligence with respect to the resolution adopted
by the Divan to refuse all further concession, and
to declare war against Russia rather than yield.
The Debats states that at a second meeting of the
Divan, held on the 26th, it was decided that the
negotiations were exhausted, that preparations for
hostilities were regulated, and a solemn proclama-
tion of war decreed.

The Oesterreichische Cori espondenz announces
the arrival of the Constantinople mail of the 27th
at Trieste.
The advices were that an immediate declaration
of war was not improbable, although expectations
were indulged in that mutual concessions might
still be made.

There were six English, one Sardinian, one Nea-
politan, one Austrian, one Prussian, and four
French war steamers lying in the Bosphorus.
' It is said on good authority that the French Go-
vernment decided, at the Council of Ministers held
at St. Cloud, on Tuesday, that a corps d'armec of
30,000 men shall be embarked on board the
Atlantic squadron, and sent out to Constantin-
ople, there to be landed. General Canrobert
will, it is understood, have the command of
this body. Llt is said also, that troops from
England are to be embarked in Admiral Corry's
squadron, and that their destination is likewise to
be Constantinople. Strict orders have been given
to suspend all leave of absence or furloughs through-
out the French army, at least for some time to
come. On Tuesday the Emperor of the French,
in a conversation with M. Firmin Rogier, the Bel-
gian representative at Paris, on the affairs of the
East, terminated his remarks by saying —" Be
certain, my dear Minister, that the matter, once
entered on, will not be long."
It is worthy of remark that a counter-order was
dispatched by electric telegraph to General de
Guyon, of the French service, forbidding him to
proceed to Warsaw, whither the Emperor of Russia
had invited him to witness the manoeuvres of the
Russian troops.
Several English officers of rank had been ob-
served in the neighbourhood of
.the Turkish camps,
apparently occupied in reconnoitering the force of
the Turkish troops, and the state of the army in
Roumelia and Bulgaria.
Omer Pasha had established a cordon round his
troops along the right bank of the Danube, to keep
off the cholera, which had this good effect further,
that it enabled him to prevent the influx of re-
fugees, runagates, and vagabonds into his camp.
The A ssemblee Nationale of yesterday publishes
a second article in reply t.
to the fierce attacks made
upon it by the other Paris journals, for stating that
the Eastern question at present looks somewhat
more pacific. It says
" We shall not return on what we have already said
to the Patric, as we should fall into a polemic which
would have no interest for the public. In spite of the
more or less alarming news which circulate, and not-
withstanding the incidents which take place, we believe
in the maintenance of peace, and we think that the con-
ciliatory views of the great Powers of Europe will lead
to a solution favourable to all interests, and satisfactory
for all the amours propres engaged in this conflict. Even
should we be mistaken, and our hopes not be realised,
where would be our crime ? What ! when we seek to
tranquillise the public mind by endeavouring to make
our readers partake of our confidence in the maintenance
of peace, Nye are called bad citizens ! In clearly showing
that we wish for peace, in demonstrating that it is both
possible and probable, we favour a cause inimical to
France ! Really, we cannot understand the sense of the
attacks which certain journals direct against us. If
they entertain other wishes than ours, we do not
dispute their liberty to express them. For our parts,
we shall be to the end the partisans of a pacific solution,
because, in the situation in which Europe is placed,
war
appears to us the most frightful of all the calamities
that
could fall on our country. We cannot close our eyes to
the light, and we see clearly that

is our constant and lively conviction,d all the difficulties
that for 7 months

past, through all the incidents
which have arisen, that we maintainn that war is impos-

The Constttutionnel, after giving the telegraphic
dispatch from Vienna dated the 3rd, announcing
that the Sultan had signed a declaration of war
against Russia, says :7" Some information which
wo have received permits us to add to these details.
At the reiterated request of M. de Bruck, the in-
ternuncio of Austria, the Divan met on the 25th
ult. to deliberate anew on the note of Vienna. The
Divan was unanimous in deciding that the Porte
could then less than ever, in presence of the inter-
pretation given to that document by the Cabinet
of St. Petersburg, accept it, without its having
first received the modifications indicated by Res-
chid-Pacha. The determination was to be com-
municated to the ambassadors of the Four Powers.
The Divan also decided that a Grand Council

should be convoked for the next day to exam une
the situation. That meeting took place the i text
day, and this is what is said to have been decid ed ;
first of all, it was resolved that the system of nt )go-
tiations was exhausted ; next, all the measures ne-
cessary for the last preparatives of defence s sere
regulated ; lastly, it was declared that the mom tent
had arrived for making, what was called at C
stantinople, the declaration of war. It is this
without doubt which the Vienna dispatch indict xtes
by the general terms, that the Divan had com eto
resolutions in the sense of war."
The German Journal of Frankfort has the fol-
lowing, dated Warsaw, the 29th ult. :—",The Em-

News from Bucharest, dated the 24th Sept ~ give
sad reports of the condition of the Russian & roope
in the Principalities. Nearly one-fourth of thew
are in the hospital, or rather on the sick list, , for
there is but very small hospital accommodai
and wretched medical attendance. Typhus has
broken out among the soldiery, and cholera, too,
has made its appearance. Their food is scanty and
unwholesome, the commissariat being totally in'
efficient.

Dysentery and local fevers have also done .1 heir
worst. The soldiers are thirsting not so mw for
glory, as to be safe back in Russia ; and it i is be.
lieved that letters have been received from I )rincse
Gortschakoff, who is laid up with an attack of s e ve re
gastritis, stating that he heartily wishes the I mat'
ter were settled, and the Principalities evacua .ted.
General Luders is in bed, and many other ofl icere
are struck down by the prevalent diseases.
