RUSSIA AND TURKEY.
[FROM THE TlNtEs.]
JASSY, JUNE 17.—A special courier from St. Peters_
burgh passed through this town on the 15th inst. on his
way to Bucharest and Constantinople. After his depar-
ture the Russian Consul informed Prince Phika that
unless the Porte accepted the ultimatum of Russia, the
Russian General had orders to cross the Pruth and com-
mence hostilities. He consequently desired the Hospodar
to take the necessary measures for the victualling and
general comfort of the army. In the course of the last
three days detachments of Russian troops have marched
into Skuliani, near Jassy, in which place a corps of 40,000
men is to be concentrated.
ST. PETERSBURGH.—Letters state that the Czar
has held a grand reception. The Ambassadors of France
and England were present ; they were the objects of the
Czar's most particular attention.—The occupation of the
Danubian Principalities is there considered as very pro-
bable, and it would seem that preparations are making
for an object of still greater importance, as the whole of
the squadron of the Black Sea has been armed for war.—
Russia appears to mistrust the attitude assumed by Persia
ever since the Russian quarrel with the Porte.

AUSTRIA.—Vi ENNA. JUNE 23.—The Austrian Charge
d'Affaires has left Vienna for Berne, and a speedy and
pacifi^ settlement of the Swiss question is expected.

at Pallarate has been broken up, and that the blockade of
the Piedmontese territory is about to be suspended.
