Turkey Extract Of private letter
of the 10Th ult. from ConstaDtibople -
every one is anxious TO know what will
be the issue of the conferences of the
Russian and Turkish Commissioners at
Alderman, that have been ollong re-
tarded through the fault of the Turks.
After very naughty note upon the
choice Of a Town for the place Of meet
ing, the Turkish Commissioners pro-
ceeded at length TO Alderman, and
there had first conference on The 18th,
at which the Turks demanded lhe pure
and simple execution of the article of
the treaty of Bucharest, which guaran-
teed TO the Porte the restoration of the
Asiatic fortresses. The Russi,n Com
missioners declared that the Emperor
would never consent thereto, seeing that
these iorIresses are actually situated in
countries which, by late conventions,
have been reudered~subject 10 the sove-
reignty Of Russia. Ii seems that, since
this interview, every thing has remain
ed in state Of stagnation, and that the
respective Commissioners have sent
couriers to their courts, to ask fol fresh
instructions. M. Minciaki has had con-
ferences with several distinguished Wa
lachians and Moldavians, since which
rumor has prevailed that Russia not only
opposes the restitution of the Asiaiic
tortresses, but commands the complete
and rigorous maintenance of the rights
secured TO Walachia, Moldavia, and even
SerVla, under the guarantee of Russia.''

lem has now been happily solved ty nj.
