ALTMOUGH the mo.-A prominent- topic of the day,
and the one which nifr_pears to exercise-comsiderable
influence on monetary :and cornineraiaaffSirs, is the
dispute between Russiaand Turkey, the protracted
negotiations, and the many conflicting reports which
hare been received by-telegraphic despatches, have
tended !trial to diminik the interest in the actual
details. :It appears, from the explanations 'which
have been given by 3alisters in both Hones of
Parliament, that while England and France were

agreed as-to the importance of interposing 'their me-
diation in ore er to prevents, resort to the last appeal,
Austria hesitated to interfere until Russia, by-some
overt act, had ..eeated at ;least an apparent. caws
belli. This of stac/e was reznoved by the Russian
armies crossing :the river Prnth, and taking ,inili-
Mry possession •of the provinces of Wallachia and
;"Moldavia, and accordingly Austria summoned the
•cepresentatives of the great European powers to a

and, ,after some deliberation,
.a pl*n was agreed
upon; as satisfactory to all parties. The terms have
not transpired ; but it is said to-have been coin-
cided in,-by all the Ministers present, and to have
been transmitted to Constantinople and Ectersburg
for the approval of the prineipals -in ;the quarrel.
Turkey, of ;course, consents, 'because she has no
other course than to rely upon the friends who have
interposed in :her favour ; but sufficient *time
has not elapsed to receive the decision of the
EMPEROR NICHOLAS, which is said to be con-
fidently expected ; And we must be content to
wait several days more before anything defini-
tive can be known respecting it, though the
dispatches which were received yesterday, by Elec-
tric Telegragh, stated that Ate Cz..ta had given his
adhesion to the terms proposed by the Austrian
mediation. In the meantime accounts are re-
ceived of the proceedings of the Russians in
the Danubian provinces, of the confiscation of
the Turkish tribute and the defection of the
Hospodars, or provincial governors, who are said
to have transferred their allegiance from the
SULTAN of TURKEY to their new master the EM-
PEROR OF RUSSIA. These reports, whether true
or false, should have little weight, because at the
most they only confirm the previous opinion that
Russia was sincere in her avowed intention of
taking possession of these provinces as a security
for her alleged claims on Turkey. It remains to
be seen whether the Czen persists in his intention
after he has received the ultimatum of the Euro-
Pegn powers, a course which appears hardly Pro-
bable, considering the extent of the face Which is
