AUSTRIA.

VIENNA, SEPT. IS.—A strict quarantine is now enforced
on the whole of the Austrian frontier towards Turkey.
The plague, however, is not so near our frontiers as to
create much alarm. Bosnia can at the most he considered
as suspected, though it is said that there have been some
cases of plague at Praedor and Dubieza. The disorder,
however, rages with much violence from the South in Ma-
cedonia and Rumelia. At Koprili and Baskinosello, it is
abating rather ; another, hitherto unknown, disorder, to
which the physicians have not yet given a name, lately
appeared in the Turkish territory, on the Croatian
frontier. It proves fatal in a few hours, and at-
tacks the larger domestic animals, especially horned
cattle. Besides this, cases of cholera occur in Bosnia and
part of Servia, so that three fatal epidemics together
threaten the inhabitants of European Turkey. The
Turkish authorities manifest more energy in cutting the
communications with infected places, and, at the same time,
less selfishness than they used to do in former times, when
the rapacious Paellas declared places to be infected, and
•
ordered the communications with them to be stopped, only
to compel the inhabitants to pay them large sums, in order
to be relieved from the inconvenience of these measures.
This abuse, among others, appears to give way to the
power of civilization.

SEPT. 20.--Prince Metternich arrived here yesterday ;
their Majesties are positively expected the day after to-
morrow—part of their suite, and numerous equipages of
the Court, have already arrived.
FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, SEPT. 15.—Prince Milosch has
arrived at his country seat of Toptschitere, and has already
given audience to M. Mechanovitch, the Imperial Austrian
Consul.

RUSSIA.
ST. PETERSBURG.—The St. Petersburg Zeitung of th e
15th, 16th, and 17th September contain the 3d, 4th, and
sth bulletins of the Health of the Emperor, published by
order of the Empress. The latest, dated 11th Sept., S P. M.,
says,—

" His Majesty has passed a very good night, and feels
himself perfectly well : the ends of the broken part are in
their due position, and it may be hoped that they will very
soon be united."

POLAND.
FRONTIERS OF POLAND, SEPT. 15.—A strange report
has spread among the Russian troops, that there will be a
campaign next spring. This report, which says nothing
either of the object or the theatre of war, has doubtless
arisen from the late ukase, ordering a levy of recruits, the
grounds for which may be readily justified, so that it is
quite
i unnecessary to ask for them in any supposed altera-
tion n the foreign policy of Russia. The soldier, besides,
is inclined to war, and therefore any probability, however
remote, leads hint to entertain the hope that he may soon
have the opportunity to gratify the inclination so natural to
his profession.—Swabian Mercury, Sept. 25.

TURKEY.
The Gernzan courier contains the following letter from
Constantinople, of the Ist inst. :—" Conformably to the wish
of the Grand Seignor, M. de Boutenieff has written to the
Prince Milosch to warn him against giving asylum to any
refugees, as he seemed to be about to do, and he recom-
mended him in general to have more respect for his master,
the Sultan. There have broken out at Teheran, between
the Russian and English Ambassadors, some discussions
much more serious than those of the Ministers of the
same Powers at the Porte. Russian influence, sup-
ported by the Prime Minister of the Schah, has caused an
expedition to be undertaken towards Herr.t, in order to
bring again under the dominion of Persia the independent

chiefs of the eastern part of Chorassan, since it is only a
few years ago that the late Schah had again united to his
empire the north-eastern part of that beautiful province.
That part of Chorassan which is still independent, and
the capital of which contains more than 160,000 inha-
bitants, belongs to Afghanistan, and its subjection would
open the road from the Caucasus to the Indus. The
English Ambassador, Mr. Ellis, cannot but have been
aware for a long time past of the quarter from whence this ex-
pedition was recommended ; but he would have no plausible
motive for interfering, since Herat belonged, in the life-time
of the late Schah, to Persia, if the Russians had not an-
nounced their intention of supporting the expedition, and
of having several of their superior officers take a share in
it. The direct objection of the English Ambassador was
sufficiently justified, and Mr. Ellis represented to the Schab
that such an expedition would disperse his forces ; and that
the object of opening a military road to the Indus could be
profitable only to the Russians. After many defeats and
heavy losses, the Russians have at length gained an impor-
tant victory over the Caucasians. They made an expedi-
tion simultaneously by land and sea against one of the
strongest places on the coast, in the neighbourhood of Anapa,
called Soudjak Kale. The Russian troops amounted to
13,000 or 14,000 men, and they took the fortress, not,
however, without heavy loss. By this they have become
masters of the coast, and cut off from the Caucasians the
convoys that generally come to them by sea. Persons well
informed declare that the Russians intend to conquer the
whole of the Caucasus, and to occupy all the passes of the
mountains. Before it has attained this object, the Court
of St. Petersburgh can make no movement, either against
the East or against Europe. It is therefore of much im.
portance to it to terminate this question ; and the levy
lately ordered is thought to have some reference to this
plan."
