FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE

FRANCE.—A Council of Ministers was held at St. Cloud
on Tuesday morning, in consequence of the advices from
Constantinople, that the Porte had declared war against
Russia. The Moniteur declares that there is not the'
slightest foundation for the rumours in circulation of ap-
proaching modifications in the Ministry. There is an
announcement in Wednesday's. Constitutionnel, of the
inauguration of a temporary chapel for the celebration of
orthodox Greek worship. The authorization of the French
Government has been accorded to this step on the express
application of the Turkish Ambassador at Paris.
HOLLAND.—The cities of Amsterdam and Rotterdam
are still suffering from cholera. The number of cases. in
the cholera hospital of the former, from Sept. 30 to Oct. 3,
was 81, of which 57 terminated fatally. On the 4th inst.
four more deaths occurred in the hospital, where there
were then 29 other persons under treatment for oholera.
Several English vessels have been brought disabled into
the Dutch ports, in consequence of the late gales. The
schooner Dart, bound from Liverpool to Rotterdam, sprung
a leak on the 27th ult. off Egmond. For some days there
were doubts ashore as to her fate, but it is now known
that her crew were all saved. The English schooner Hor-
racks was brought to Flushing by some Belgian pilots;
The captain and some of the crew were carried off by a
heavy sea, and two sailors who, together with the captain's
wife; remained on board, were found in a disabled state.
The schooner, bound from London to Sunderland, was
drifting about when discovered by the pilots.
PRITSSIA.—On the night of Sunday, the 2nd of October,
the King, to the great surprise of everyone in Berlin, set
off for Warsaw. This remarkable step is generally consi-
dered as an open political demonstration, though there is
some pretence for making it appear an act of friendly
courtesy. It seems the Czar had sent an autograph letter,
by Count Munster, to Sans Souci, inviting the King to
attend the closing manoeuvres of the Russian troops, and
to meet the Emperor of Austria.
AUSTRIA.—On Sunday night the Emperor left sud-
denly, with the Prince of Prussia, for Warsaw. The
Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, brother of the Em-
peror, has just been named Governor-general of the
Polish provinces, of the kingdoms of Galicia and Lodo-
meria, of-the grand duchy of Cracow, and of the duchy of
Bukowina.

RllSSlA.—Letters from St. Petersburg, of the 24th ult.,
announce that the Russian Baltic fleet had received orders
to rerurn to Cronstadt, and hold itself at the disposal of
government, A telegraphic despatch from Berlin states
that the Emperor remained at Warsaw, and had been
joined by the Emperor of Austria and King of Prussia.
He persists, he says, in his professions of peace, and, it is
expected, will encourage the Emperor of Austria to make
another attempt at mediation. Before the Emperor left
Olmutz, he signed an ukase for a new levy of troops,
and sent it off by courier to St. Petersburg.
TURKEY.—Since the stirring :intelligince given in our
late edition on Tuesday, there have been partial contra-
