There is no very interesting intelligence
from Turkey. The movements and meas
lIres of the bellgerent powers. indicate the APP
proach ofimportant events. 1t is altogether
probable that before this time, the Russians
and the Turks may have tried their strength
in serious battle, the result of which may be
expected to have a material influence on the
remainder of the campaign. The Grand Vi
zier was at Choumla. If he should remain
shut up in that fortress, it might be difficult
for the Russians to draw him out for gener-
| al battle. From what has hitherto reached
us, the plan of operations for the season, had
not been fully disclosed. We should hardly
believe that the Russians would waste anoth-
er year in beseiging castles, if they are in earn
est in determination of pushing their way
into the heart of the Grand Seignior's domin-
ions.
We have seen no satisfactory evidence Of
any serious changes about to take place in the
British Cabinet.

| From The frontiers Of !Sercia.--MercaDtile
letters from COnstantinople say that the
French General Hullot, who lately arrived
there with the intention of entering the Turk
ish service, has been appointed by the Sultan
Chief of the General staff. The Turks con-
slider this acquisition as highly favorable, as
the General is represented to be very dis
| tinguishPd Officer, and has promised, by his
connections in France to engage many other
officers to serve the Porte. The Sultan has
had the new regular troops exercised in the
Generals presence, who expressed much sur
! prise at their appearance and discipline. In
general, all accounts agree in stating that the
regular Turkish infantry, has much improved
during the winter.
