FRONTIERS OF SERVIA, JULY 21.--The
plague which has been brought from Asia Minor is
very destructive in the interior of Turkey. The
presence of tile Sultan in the provinces has bad a
very good effect there, and has relieved them from
many apprehensions. At Adrianople the Sultan
assigned a large sum from his private treasury for
the relief of the poor, and promised to repeat the
gift in the succeeding years. It appears he will
soon return to his capital. The military events in
Poland excite as much interest among the Turks
as in the rest of Europe, and all accounts of the
progress of the contest are eagerly received at
Constantinople. It seems to be still a favourite
notion with the Porte that the good opportunity to
recover its lost provinces should be taken advan-
tage of, but it wants money and resolution to
seize the favourable moment, especially as it is de-
prived of the advice of Count Guilleminot. The
Sultan is said to be highly displeased with Count
Sebastiani, who be says has placed him in a situa-
tion of extreme embarrassment. In the princi
palities many horses are now purchased for the
army, which has greatly raised the price. Two
divisions of Russian infantry in Wallachia have
received orders to be ready to march at the shortest
notice to the interior of Russia. Prince Milosch
is exerting all his influence to 'persuade the Boa-
man insurgents to submit to the commands of the
Sultan, but his exhortations have hitherto met with
little attention.
