cept the note of Vienna, purely and simply, on the
following conditions :-1. The Czar to engage him-
' self not to meddle for the future in the affairs of
the Greek subjects of the Sultan ; the Sultan, on
his side, pledging himself to maintain intact the
existing rights of the Greek Church.-2. The Czar
to renounce all claim to any indemnity for the ex-
penses of the war.-3. The Emperor to engage to
withdraw without delay his troops from th Prin-
cipalities, and at least the troops which occupy
Moldavia. In consequence of these overtures of
Reschid Pasha, the ambassadors of the Western
Powers, who have lately had frequent conferences
with the representatives of Austria and Prussia,
have sent off a courier to their respective govern-
ments. Under these circumstances, it is not pro-
bable that the war party will push the Porte to ally
decisive step before the arrival of the answers from
the French and English governments."
The Turkish army at Schumla goes on increasing;
it is full of enthusiasm, but the want of good offi-
cers is felt. The sanitary condition of the Turkish
,army is said to be excellent, but the Russian army
in the principalities is still suffering much from
iickness and a want of provisions. Desertion is
said to be also very general. A Russian captain
and some soldiers were lately arrested in attempting
to cross over to the Turkish side of the river with
their arms and baggage. The officer, it is said,
has poisoned himself, and the soldiers have been
shot. The accounts from the principalities are very
sad. Prince Stirbey having demanded from Prince
Gortschakoff a sum on account of 60,000 ducats
(720,000 fr.), to pay the purveyors, the general-in-
chief returned no reply, but on the following day
M. Haltchensky, the Russian consul-general, sent
a note to Prince Stirbey, demanding the settlement
of the contribution for the Russian occupation of
1848-50, which the province will be obliged to pay.
A letter from Berlin, published in the Union,
sass " that at Warsaw as well as at Olmutz, the
king of Prussia showed himself to be perfectly in
accord with the Emperors of Russia and of Austria
in regard to the Turkish question. He has testi-
fied the greatest desire to see peace maintained, at
the same time that he has expressed how much he
was affected by what he calls the difficulties raised
by England and France. The new project of ar-
rangement drawn up at Olmutz by M. de Buol, has
received the adhesion of the king of Prussia, and
in case this project should be rejected by England
and France, the diplomatic conferences would be
continued at Vienna. If in the struggle between
Turkey and Russia other Western Powers should
intervene actively in favour of the Porte, no asto-
nishment ought to be felt, adds the letter, if
Prussia should not maintain her neutrality."
A letter from Berlin of the Bth says :—" This
morning took place in the gardens of the palace
of Potsdam, a grand review in honour of the
Emperor Nicholas. The princes of the royal
family, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-
Schwerin, and a numerous staff were present.
To-morrow the Emperor of Russia is to take his
departure of his own states, passing by Konigs-
berg. His Majesty is accompanied by Count Pas-
kewitsch, Gen. d'ollenberg, and Gen. Benkendorff.
The Hereditary Grand-Duke did not come here,
having gone directly from Warsaw to St. Peters-
burg."

Letters from Brody (in Gallicia, on the volhy-
nian frontier,) state, that in consequence of the
severity with which recruiting has been carried on
in the neighbouring Russian province, children are
being smuggled over the frontier in whole troops
by professional contrabandists, whose pay, how-
ever, for their services frequently compels the sale
of the whole parental effects, and brings the entire
family over the frontier in a state of beggary, to be
out of the way of the consequences of their crinrf
viz., the sending off their children. The families
thus hardly visited are mostly Jews of the lower
class ; those who contribute to the taxes are spared
as much as possible ; but while the supply of re-
cruits in Russia is being alleviated as much as pow'
sible to every other class, the Jews are being Wu'
pelled to furnish their full quota of 10 in 1,000.
