The intelligence from the seat of war, is
several days later than before received II
now appears that the negotiations between
the hostile powers, opened at Adrianople
on the lst of Sept. but, in consequence Of
wish on the part of the Turkish commits
sioners, to obtain further instructions on
some point or points of discussion, they
we've suspended on the Sd, with notice on
the part of the Russian COMMANDMENTS
Chief, that he could not extend the suspen-
sion beyond the 18th. In the mean time,
he had moved his forces forward towards
Constantinople, and, at the latest account,
is stated to have been within fifteen or
twenty leagues of that city. That the
Grand Seignor must yield to circumstances
he cannot resist, is rendered so probable as
to amount very nearly to a certainty. 1t
seems that in addition to the pressure from
the Russians icithout, he is threatened with
the insurgent spirit of the Janissaries with
im-an evil, perhaps, more Immediately dan
gerous to his personal safety, than the ap-
proach of the Russian armies.
If the war terminates in this manner, the
Turkish empire will have received shock,
from which, in our opinion, it can never re-
cover. Its weakness will not only exist,
but it will be so manifest to the rest of the
world, that it must cease to be an object of
dread to any other nation. In truth, it
would seem, according to the common
course of things, that it mast, in a short
time, become an object of very little inter
est among the nations of Europe, when they
may be engaged in adjusting what they call
the balance of power. 1t is now apparent
that Russia can crush the Hahometan do
minion in Europe, whenever she is disposed
seriously to undertake such an enterprise.
1t is true, that other powes may combine
to uphold Turkey but it isabout as prob
able that they will unite aid make some
different arrangements among themselves,
and place their security on basis more
satisfactory, if not in the enl more perma-
nent, than to leave it dependant upon gov
eminent that is scarcely lble to stand
alone.
In the mean time, it will he an object of
interest to see what effects tie Russian war
may have upon the remoter PROVINCES of the
Ottoman empire. Egypt, and the Barbary
States, which have long acknowledged not
much more than nominal dependence, will
ascertain, beyond all question, that if they
should choose to declare their own indie
pendence, the Sublime Porte cannot prevent
them from establishing it.-.E Y ADJ.
Paris, Sept. %. We mentioned yester-
day rumor of the renewal of hostilities
between the Russians and the Turks. The
report seems to be confirmed by the follow
ing extract of commercial letter of the
18th inst. from Vienna: Sat the opening
of the exchange to-day, bank actions were
at 1893, but they fell suddenly to 100.
This fall is attributed to intelligence of the
rupture of negotiations, serious connections
at Constantinople, and the definite march
of the Russian forces on the Turkish CAPT.

The advices of the Doth ult. from Con.

having been threatened with a dreadful
catastrophe, which was only averted by the
arrest and execution of grea. number oil

Turkish capital, nothing is known respect

certain that the mountains which extend
towards the sea of Marmora are covered
with troops. The negotiations Of the Eng

Adrianople we learn that Gen. Diebitsch
