WASEISGroE, JUNE I,
The foreign news give, in to.day's paper ia
interesting, far as regards The. question OF
peace or war between Russia aud the Forte.
The oe.t Informed Journals of Europe had
protested To consider rupture so inevitable,
that we had begun to look for Intelligence OF
the commencement OF hosliities; but all the
adviccs just received concur IN giving a much
more pacihc aspect to trans. atlantic Affairs,
and It Is even asserted now, In some ui the
English papers, that the l4e Turkish note,
purporting to be an aununGatiCn of the rea-
sons OF that goverument los tejr"ting the
Russian proportions, is an entire fabrication.
This Is 1ot pFobabie; though the system oS
fabrication and dece cotton IN every thing which
can affect ST cck specuiations, Is carried 10
such an extent in England. that it throws
more or less suspicion around theis relation of
all circumstances in any manner connected
with The political affairs of the continent.
