RUSSIA, TURKEY, AND AUSTRIA.
Fuad Effendi has been informed, by Count Nessel-
rode, that the Czar demands that the Hungarian
refugees should be located in the interior of Candle,
or on such other point of the Turkish territory as
may afford the greatest facilities for keeping them
under surveillance. If any of the refugees wish to
go to France or England, they may be permitted so
to do, the CzAr will take no notice of their depar •
ture, notwithstanding the danger that may attend
them; for whether in France or England there can
be no doubt but that the refugees will busy them-
selves in preparing for a new revolution.
The Vienna papers publish the following corre-
spondence :

"THE COUNT STURMER, OF THE AUSTRIAN LEGATION
AT CONSTANTINOPLE, TO ALI PASHA, MINISTER OF
FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE MOST HIGH PORTE.
" Pera, Sept. 14.
"Sir,—Since the 24th ult.—that is to say, for three
weeks—l have been in possession of a dispatch from
Prince Schwartzenberg, instructing me to call for the im-
mediate surrender of the rebels who have sought refuge iu
the Ottoman territories. Immediately after rt.ceiving this
dispatch I commiinicat,d its c intents to the Mo,t High
Porte. I accompanied that communication with all
those explanatory remarks which it seemed to demand.
I took my stand on the right which the treaqts
give us—on those imperative motives which will
not allow us calmly to look on while a mass
of inflammatory matter is being collected in a
neighbouring State, threatening at any moment to
renew the scarcely suppressed conflagration in our conti-
guous provinces. Yes, Sir, and I took my stand, too, On
the interests of the Most High Porte itself,
pointing out the danger with which the presence
of the rebels threatens it, and alluding to the amity
,hick has hitherto unitsd the two Goverumeiats,
and which ought to induce them to assist one another
as often as there is any occasion. I have received no
answer to this communication. Your Excellency has.,
indeed, sent me a message stating that the Most High
Porte intended sending a direct dispatch to my Govern-
ment, under the address of the Sultan's Minister
at Vienna, and of which dispatch I was to have
a copy. But this dispatch was not sent off, in spite
of my reiterated and urgent entreaties. Since that
time other crowds of rebels have arrived in Turkey,
and this circumstance moved me to send a
note to your Excellency, in which I protested
that the character of the future relations of the two
States depended on the resolution of the Most High
Porte. But in this instance, too, I was not vouchsafed
an answer. All I obtained were verbal assurances of
good will, mixed up with complaints of the conduct which
Austria in like cases had pursued against this country
(Turkey), though the alleged cases on conscientious
examination were found to be essentially different from
the present case, and last not least, a series of reason-
ings which led to false conclusions, because they were
sounded on false premises, and which but indifferently
hid the arriere pensee which created them, viz , to gain
time. A sorry means this, by which the High Porte
fondly hopes to attain its object, which serves as a
decoy, and which escapes its grasp at the very moment
of seeming success!
" Resolved to go the whole length of the means in
my power, I asked an audience of his Majesty, the
Sultan, for the purpose of explaining to his Majesty
the condition of affairs. His Majesty was, indeed,
graciously pleased to grant me an audience, in the
course of which I most conscientiously fulfilled my
duties. The Sultan could not possibly enter into a
controversy with me. I neither wished nor expected it.
The Sultan expressed himself with his usual kindness, but
in general terms, and it was agreed that his Ministers
were to sound the question, and effectuate an understand.
ing with me. That was ten days ago, and still lam igno-
rant of my own position and of that of my country. Russia
has in the mean time seconded the demand of Austria.
Russia has insisted on the extradition of the Russian
subjects among the refugees. Baron Titoff has re-
ceived peremptory instructions, and to add to his in -
fluence, these instructions have been followed by the
arrival of an adjutant of the Czar, bearing a letter from
that monarch to the Sultan. But Baron Titoff 's
ill-
fortune equals mine, and all he has been able to attain
were certain proposals which tended to delay the dia-

cussion.
" This day's courier brings me orders to strain every
nerve to obtain my object, and finding that public opi
nion in Austria gives a powerful and still increasing
impetus to the sense of my instructions, I cannot, without
incurring the heaviest responsibility, retain the following
declaration.
" I shall consider any further delay as a refusal to
satisfy my Government, and unless the assent of the High
Porte for the extradition of all the rebels now in Turkish
territory be received by to-morrow night, I beg that all
diplomatic rel tions between me and the Most High
Porte be considered as broken off. Nobody can be
more sensible of the importance of this step than I am;
but the whole weight of its consequences will fall upon
those who caused me to take it.—l am, Sir, &c.
" Count STURDIER."

" Burjukdere, Sept. 28, 1849 .
" Sir —I presume that the Sultan's Cammiasioner has
informed your Excellency of the demand whila has been
made by our Commissioner in the Danubian princ palt•
ties. Gen. Duhamel asked in a note, dated 17 (20th) of
August, for the extradition of certain Poles who were
mentioned in a list, and for the surrender of the said
Pules to the Russian authorities, on the plea of these
Poles being part of a rebel army which, after the
defeat of the insurgents in Hungary, sought and ob-
tained the protection of the Turkish authorities
in the Wallachian frontier. His Excellency Patel
Pffendi declared in his answer to General Duhamel
that the said fugitives should be closely watched, but that
he felt. it his duty to wait for his master's orders on the
subject of their extradition. General Duhamel, record.
ing the promise of the Ottoman Commissioner respecting
the restraint to be placed on the fugitives, has comma•
niested the said correspondence to my notice, for me to
direct the attention of the Ottoman Cabinet to the matter,
and to urge a speedy compliance with the demand which
was male to Amedji Effendi. This demand is the
most urgent. It is but too well founded on the
treaties which, for many years, have existed between
Russia and Turkey, and I, therefore, take it to be my
duty to ask for your Excellency's co-operation in
the dispatch of the necessary instructions, so as to
cause the Poles, who are subjects to the Char, my
master, to be delivered over to our authorities. The
well-known loyalty which the Porte has shown on simi-
lar occasions warrants the hope on my part that Yuad
Effendi will soon receive those orders which are to guide
his conduct.
" But there is another powerful motive mixed up in
this matter, and one which cannot have escaped
your Excellency's penetration, but which I have
latien specially instructed to urge upon the most
serious consideration of his Majesty the Sultan's
Ministers. It is of the utmost importance for
the high Porte to avoid even the appearance of
weakness or toleration with regard to that revolutionary
faction which disturbed the peace of the principalitie ,
which ruined Hungary and Transylvania, and which
certainly would not shrink from making Turkey a
eceise of continuous disturbances, if the leaders and
champions of that party were to find there an in-
judicious protection, which, while it would endanger
the safety of the Ottoman empire, would be no less
dangerous to the tranquillity of its neighbours, who
csnuot be expected to suffer such a state of things. I
qm, therefore, greatly interested in the communications
which it will please your Excellency to make to m,) in
reply to this letter, and for the information of my master;
and I avail myself of this opportunity to assure yon, Sir,
of my respect, &c.

CENTRAL GERMANY.

The following is a copy of the letter which the
Minister of the Empire, General Jochntus, as chief o -
the German navy, addressed to Commander Poppe, o
the Getion frigate :

" Sir,—Whatever may happen, you are responsible
for the vessel under your command. That vessel is
the property of the Empire.. Your instructions are
simply the following—either to preserve the frigate
under the German flag, or to destroy her. That
frigate is neither to come into the hands of the Danes
nor into tht,se of any other Power. I trust you
understand me. The frigate of the Empire is not to be sur-
rendered either to Prussian troops or to Schleswig troops,
or to any other troops which are not under your command.
Rather than suffer this, you must blow the vessel up,
or burn her. Enjoining you to attend to the letter
and the spirit of this order, I send you a copy of a
dispatch of the Schleswig-Holstein Plenipotentiary in this
place, the contents of which will inform you of the even-
tual dangers which beset the Eckernfiiede (late Gefion)
frigate. You will, therefore, take all necessary precau-
tions—keep powder and combustibles in readiness, and
distribute them in such a manner as to warrant the
possibility of putting fire to the ship at ten and more
places at once, and to provide for an explosion, while
you will have all the means of quenching the fire either
destroyed or removed."
