Made any attack on ElLerfeld, which still continued
in the possession of the insurgents. It appears that
the committee of safety have succeeded in preserv-
ing the rights of property except With regard
to some obnoxious public persons, and that they have
sent a deputy to Fra:Aifort to solicit the protection of
the central executive. 0,,e of the railways leading
!o Elberfeld has been partly destroyed, in order to
Itnpede the arrival of the troops. Armed insurgents
continue to pour in from ail directions, and there is
no lack of provisions. It is stated on good authority
that the people of Solinger have stormed the arsenal
at Grafrath, and got possession of 1,500 guns, and a
large
quantity of other weapons.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
The Vidette war steamer, which left Constantinople
on the evening of the 29th of April, and arrived
at Marseilles on the evening of the 13th inst., brings
1111Portant intelligence from that capital. The Vidette
was dispatched expressly by General AUPICK, with
accounts for his Government of the result of the ne-
gotiations between Russia and the Porte, which have been
in the course of negotiation for some time past,
tinder the auspices of the Russian Envoy Extraordi-
nary General GRABBE.
few days after his arrival, General GRABBE pre-
sented his credentials, and officially opened his nego-
tiations; and the following are the bases of a definitive
!p•angement determined upon between him and the
I orte
" 1. Russia demands the occupation of the two prin-
cipalities of Moldavia and Wallachia by Russian troops,
until the complete re-organization of the interior admi-
nistration of these two countries."
This has been granted by Turkey, with this modi-
fication, that the occupation shall be half Russian
and half Turkish, and that at the end of a year both
Powers will evacuate the principalities simulta-
neously.
" 2. Russia demands the nomination of two hospadors,
to be appointed by the two powers, without consulting
the local Assemblies."

Granted, with this modification, that the two
hospadors shall, before being nominated, be persons
Who have been approved of by a vote of the As-
semblies.

"3. Russia proposes the revision of the organic
statutes of Moldavia and Wallachia, and the suppression
of the liberty of the press."

the liberty of the press within sage limits.
"4. Russia demands of the Porte that the Russian
troops should have permission to (Liter the Banat, in the
event of their being called for by the Patriarch."
Refused.

• "5. Russia proposes to the Porte that the two
Powers should enter into a new treaty effensive and de-
tensive."

Refused. Such are the bases of a treaty as far
US agreed on, and it v,ill he acted on by both
si'les. The treaty is to be caked an Act preceded by
protocol. There are some questions of detail yet to
be settled.
The treaty gives satisfaction at Constantinople.
The firmness shown by Sir ,STRATFORD CANNING
and General AUPICK are the subjects of universal
eulogium.
