THE EASTERN QUESTION,

The Times publishes a correct copy of the Earl of Cla-
rendon's despatch of the 13th July, and says :—" The true
position of England and her allies is that of mediators in
defence of a specific policy ; and, thotgh the British Par-
liament did not hesitate to protest with becoming spirit
against the aggressive policy of Russa, that government
is not the less bound to exercise a alutary control, if it
can subdue the warlike propensities es! Turkey."
CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 29.—The public are wait-
ing impatiently for a manifesto from the Sultan, in which
his Highness will explain the position of Turkey with
respect to the other Powers. The Egyptian troops are
to be reviewed by the Sultan, and afterwards marched to
Schumla. The Porte has contracted for 300,000 fur
cloaks for the army. It is again stated that Lord Strat-
ford de Redcliffe has sent in his resignation to the British
Government, and that he expects an answer by the 19th
of September.

VIENNA, SEPT. 9.—The nevspaper Wanderer has
letters from Jassy to the 30th of August, stating that the
Consuls of France and Great Britain had given notice of
their departure, and indeed they Nave already left the city.
The public are panic struck. It is said that General
Luders, at the head of a fresh corps of Russian troops, is
marching upon Moldavia. The cholera is making pro-
gress in Bessarabia.

PARIS, MONDAY.—The Moniteur contains another
denial of the statement made by the foreign journals, that
large quantities of corn have been purchased by the
French Government. The purchase (says the Moniteur)
of 415,000 hectolitres, made about six weeks ago in Eng-
land for the army and navy, is the only fact of the kind
which can have furnished pretence for such an allegation.
Beyond this purchase, which was made for the express
Purpose of not influencing the home market, the Govern-
ment has never once thought of meddling either directly
or indirectly with any operations in the grain market.—A
cabinet council was held at St. Cloud on Sunday. The
Emperor presided, and all the ministers were present.—At
the Bourse, owing to the financial measures taken by the
Government, there was again a decline. Threes' closed at
77 35 ; Four-and-Halves', 101 30.

BERLIN, SEPT. 9.-The measures taken by the police
against forestallers of corn produced a great sensation.
Twenty persons were excluded from the Bourse for fore-
stalhng ; and preliminary legal proceedings were com-
menced against them.

ODESSA, SEPT. 2.—Wheat, 2s. Sd. or 3s. per quarter
decline, but holders are not disposed to press sales.
