AUSTRIA, RUSSIA, AND TURKEY.
The Wiener Zeitung of the Ist October contains an
article which, although dated Constantinople, Sept.
19, is evidently official. It is to the following effect :
" After the victory of Temeswar, and Georgey's sub-
sequent capitulation, the principal Magyar-Polish rebel
chief's, with numerous troops of insurgents, took refuge
in the Turkish territories. This circumstance has
within the last few weeks been the subject of serious
discussion between the Porte and the Imperial " Inter-
nuntiatur" (Austrian Embassy). As in existing treaties
it is specified that the Porte is not to afford protection to
rebellious Austrian subjects, and that the Austrian Go-
vernment shall have the right of jurisdiction over its own
subjects in Turkey, Count Sturmer was directed by the
Imperial Government positively to demand the extradi
Lion of the above-mentioned rebels. He accordingly
urged this demand, and after a correspondence had
passed between the Austrian Representative and the
Turkish Ministers, and several conferences on the
subject, the Internuncio was at his request admitted
on the 4th of September to a private audience with the
Sultan, during which ho gave his Majesty an accurate
account of the actual state of affairs. On the following
day the Imperial Russian Ambassador, M. de Titoff,
received instructions from Warsaw to demand in the
most positive manner the extradition of such Polish
rebels as were Russian subjects ; and in order to give
still greater weight to this demand, the Imperial Rus-
sian Major-General, Prince Radzivill, arrived in the
port of Constantinople at the moment Count Sturmer
was with the Sultan, bearing a Cabinet dis-
patch from the Emperor Nicholas on the same
subject. The Prince delivered this dispatch to
the Sultan on the 6th, and M. de Titoff, taking ad-
vantage of the opportunity, impressed upon the
Grand Seignor's mind the necessity of speedily con-
cluding the matter in question. From this time the
two Embassies acted together. As, however, the
Turkish Minister brought forward all kinds of argu-
ments against the interpretations of the treaties,
and asserted that the right of asylum was an
incontrovertible law, Count Sturmer and M. de
Titoff found themselves compelled to fix a time at
which they should—did the Porte not yield—consider
their diplomatic relations as suspended. As even after
this positive declaration the Divan answered evasively,
under the pretext that a direct appeal was about to bo
made to the two Imperial Courts, the Ambassadors, on
the 17th of September, announced that they had broken
off diplomatic connexions with the Porto until they
should receive further instructions from their respective
Courts. Prince
,Raditivil left during the night of the
16th by the Odessa steamer, without having taken leave
of the Sultan and his Ministers."
The Hungarian generals who had submitted at
Arad had already been sentenced (it is said to the
extreme penalty of death), and the sentences had
been transmitted to Vienna for confirmation.
The fatal list included the names of Generals
AULICH,t NAGY.SANDOR, LEININGEN,
and the poet Auausrus BAYER. The papers teem
with heart-rending accounts of the desolation of
Hungary, and the great destruction of property
caused by the civil war. The Russians alone have
largely profited by it.
The Vienna National Gazette of the 2d, announces
that the Austrian Ambassador at the Porte, Count
STUBBIER, demanded his passports on the 17th ult.,
in consequence of the obstacles thrown in the way of
-the reiplisition relative to the giving up of the I3ull-
