AFFAIRS OF THE EAST,
All accounts from the belligerent powers
in the east of Europe concur in the intelli-
gence that the most vigorous preparations
for war are making by both parties. The
Pacha of Egypt has yielded to the requisi-
ton of the Porte to send $4,000 men to the
Danube under the command of Mahmoud
Pacha. The capttife of Sozoboi by part of
the Russian Black Sea fleet, has been
deemed of such Importance that a Te Deum
has been celebrated at ST. Petersburg on
account of it. Letters from Varna state
that provisions were excessively dear there,
and also at Kavarne. 1t seems expected
that the Black Sea will be the chief seat Of
the hostile operations, and that landings
will be ATTEMPTED on various parts of the
shore in order to form chain Of posts into
the vicinity of Constantlnople, in order to
divert the Sultan from the defence of the
Balkan, by the alarm which he must feel
for the safety of his capital.
! A letter from Constantinople, of March
10, says" 1t seems that the Russian fleet
will really blockade Gambia and Alexan-
! dria, forming a line of ships from Boudron
along the coast of Gambia to Alexandria, in
order to hinder the landing of troops and
provisions as we'll in Gambia as the Darda-
nelles, especially as it is affirmed that the
Egyptian feet is to go to Constantinople,
in order to act, during the summer, in the
Black Sea, in conjunction with the five
ships of the line, two frigates. four corvettes,
! and twelve briggs, now in the harbor of Con-
stantinople.".e
Gen. Gulleminot is said to have been
ordered to Constantinople to cooperate
with the Hon. Mr.. Gordon, in order to in
! duce the Porte to agree to the provision of
! a new Protocol which it is =e-asserted has
been agreed to at London and which ex-
/ tends the limits of Greece to the Gulphs of
Arta and Volo On the other hand it was
reported at Naples that Mr.. Stratford Can
ming would go alone to Constantinople, and
remain there whether the Porte acceded to
the new resolutions of the Allied Powers or
not 1t is stated on the authority of ac-
counts received express from Paris, that the
Duke of Wellington and the Austrian Gov
eminent have made another formal repre-
sentation to the Cabinet of Berlin, that thew
will not suffer treaty of alliance between
Russia and Prussia on the subject of Tur-
| L L
ed, that it does not intend to form any such
alliance, and that the treaty which does ex-
list is of private nature, not calculated to
offend either England or Austria.
From the London Times of April Odd we
learn that according to some sure news the
Turks have made sally from Giurgevo,
with considerable force against the Rus
sian camp of about 5000, which was at a
distance of four miles but with screen of
about 1900 Cossacks they have been driven
| back to their lntrenchments notwithstand-
| ing which the commanding General has
since voluntarily abandoned his position.
! About SO wounded Russians have been
brought to the hospitals of Bucharest the
number Of killed is not known. There is a
report within few days, but it wants con-
frmation that Ibraham Pacha son of the
Viceroy of Egypt is armed with 5000 mount
ed Arabs near Rudschuck.
Travellers report that about the last of
Feb. very obstinate battle was fought
near Varna. Gen. Roth was induced to
risk sally in consequence of the report of
a Russian officer who succeeded under dis
guise in accommodating the Turks, who con-
F sisted of only 1000 men. But it was soon
ascertained that 1000 men were in ambus-
cade and Roth's troops were many of them
killed and wounded.
The new Grand Vizier is said to have at
length reached Adrianople, and to have
caused the Notifications of that place to be
repaired and strengthened, which would
seem to intimate an opinion on his part
that the defles of the Balkan may not prove
impenetrable, and that the war may break
through its barrier of mountains and over
flow the plains.
London, .4prI 90 I think may now
announce to you, as positive, the transmits
sion Of joint note from the French and
English Cabinets, on the subject of the Rus
sion war. The precise contents of this
note are, of course, secret-but it appears
from a private letter from Paris received
this day by express, that they are such as
to have given great offence to the Empe-
ror Nicholas.
The French Ministers are likely to lose
office, unless they render the Cabinet more
liberal-the Duke of Angouleme having
declared they are bound to follow the dis
position of the nation.

following are represented to be the condi-
tons Of peace proposed by Russia, to which
