THE EASTERN WAR.

No later telegraphic news. The Times' Vienna corres-
pondent writes on the 14th, that in diplomatic circles it is
affirmed that the renewal of the diplomatic relations he'
tween the Four Powers on the one side, and Russia and
the Porte on the other, was mainly owing to the exertions
of the Earl of Westmoreland, who, in obedience to in'
structions received from home, represented to Coupt
Berol and M. de Meyendorff that it was necessary to the
very existence of the Aberdeen Cabinet that something
should immediately be done towards a settlement of the
Russo-Turkish differences.

(From the Second Edition of the Times.)
VIENNA, TUESDAY EVENING.—Count Valentine Ester
hazy had been appointed Ambassador Extraordillarf
from Munich to St. Petersburg.

PIRATICAL CONDUCT OF VTR RUSSIANS.
The Times' Paris correspondent says, " The imports°
fact seems now to be ascertained that the conduct of tbe
Russians was more that of pirates than anything else'.
It is positively stated that the flotilla of Osman Pasha 0'
nothing whatever to do with the Circassians. It its°
Mustapha Pasha who had succeeded in landing mill
stores at Batoum. Two accounts state that the Russisi*
had the English flag hoisted until they were ready to le:
their fire, and this was also a reason for the slowness Wl'
which the Turkish batteries fired.."

The Times' correspondent trusts that this report 15 gild
founded.
