| Russia AND TuRKRY-The latest accounts from
COnstantinOple are Of very great interest, they
| announce the suspension Of diplomatic relations
between husband Turkey, in consequence of the
Sutan's psTsisianee in his refusal 20 comply with
the demand made by the Russian and Austrian
embassies for the delivery OF the fugitives from
Hungary, who have taken refuge in the Turkish
dOminions, and are now at Widen. The follow
| ing account is given by the correspondent Of the
| London Times at COnstantinOple:
" COnstaHtlnoPte, Sept. l6.-Ihe French steamer
which ought to have left yesterday will not start
until this evening. She detained by the French
Minister Gen. Aupic that Be- might be able to send
/ 10 his government the final determination Of the
Porte with regard to the Polish and Hugarian reflI-
gees. Prince RadziviI, the Cars aid-de-eamp,
does not return to bis imperial master till
| row. He was 10 have left COnstantinople to-day
| but he delayed his departure in hopss that the
| Turkish Government would reconsider their deter
mination not to crafty the Emperor Nicholas thirst
| for vengeance upon the unhappy refugees.
| Prince Radzlvil has not hesitated 70 say openly
that il is the intention Of the Gar ID have every
one Of the Polish and Hungarian refugees now in
Turkey hanged the instant they fall into bis hands;
and after this unblushing avOWal he has the hardi-
hood 10 insist upon the extradtiOn of his intended
victims. The whole Turkish nation protests against
being made paFlicipatOTs in such murdeFous policy.
Iha Grand Council with one voice have deter
mined to resist the demand Of Russia, and to defy
| her threats. The Sultan has approved of their
resolution, and in this his Majesty is supported by
the Sheik-ul-Islaem, chief Of the religion, and
the whole corps of Ulemas.
The Shek-ul- Islaem said that to give up these
| poor refugees would be a violation of one Of the
| 1rst principles of the Mussuman religion, which
OrdaIns that the followers of mahomet shall give
hospitality and protection to all who are in misfOr-
tune, without distinction of creed or country. In
| the interview which Prince RadzfviI had with the
Sultan, his Majesty did not disguise the indigna-
uo1 he felt at the demand Of the Gar, and at the
| Oyerbedring tone in which it was made. As to
Austria, she has sunk into complete insignifeance;
her name is not even mentioned in the present ne
| gOtiatiOns.
"SepteB1ber 19.-From the commencement Of the
| present question the Turkish Government had re-
| fused to comply with the demands of the Emperor
OF Russia for the exradition of the Polish and Hum
garian refugees but the Porte wished to do SO in
| the manner least calculated TO produce any unne-
| cessary irritation. This mode of proceeding did
not coincide, it seems, with the instructions which
| NJ. de Iitof had received from the Gar, and he,
therefore, in the afternoon Of the 18th inst. made
known to the Porte that if within thirty hours from
| the date Of his note the Turkish Government did
! not give decisive alIsweF to the demands Of the
Emperor, he would suspend all diplomatic relations.
| The Russian Minister, at the same time, ordered
Prince Radzivil to refuse the audience of leave
| which had been offered him by the Sultan. Late
| last night the Porte communicated to the Russian
| and Austrian embassies its final determination Of
rejecting the demand of the Emperor for the extra
| dition of the Polish and Hungarian refugees. M.
de litoH has, in consequence, suspended relations
with the Porte, and Prince RadziviI has taken his
| departure for St Petersburg"
u
| stated that the Turkish Minister of Foreign At
fairs addressed to the English and French Ambaz-
sailors several mOmentous questions after the ne
ceipt of the RussOsAustTian uttimQtH8l. These
questions were answered by collective note, in
which Sir StTatfOTd Canning and Gen. Aupic af-
hImed that the treaties Of Kutshnz- Kaimarli and
OF Passarowtch do not justify the demands iOr the
surrender of the Polish and hungarian fugitives
that the refusal Of The Porte tDollld ierefors not
amount 10 breach Of these treaties, or 10 lapfI
e cause Of oar; that the assistance Of the armed
forces Of France and England the event of uDar
could not be promised LDitOut sDecidl Instructions
but that these States t0Od readily prefer their me

Prince RadZivil Immediately set out for St. Peters
burg, and Will be followed thitheT by Fuad Effendi
charged to explain to the Emperor NichoIes he
scTuples of the Divan; so that at the very moment
the British Government is called upon 10 decide
upon the course it may hereafter have to pursue in
the East, the Russian Cabinet is resolving the
question of peace or war;
The TURKISH QUESTION IN FRANcE.-The
threatened rupture between Russia and Austria
and Turkey, has been the chief topic among all
classes OF the community, and in its paramount
importance the Roman difficulty is almost lost
sight Of The stand taken by the French Ambas-
sadOr at COnstantnOple was not so decided or dig
nihed as Sir Stratford Csnning's but there is little
doubt that, whatever steps Great Britain takes she
will be fully seconded, if not by Louis Napoleon,
at least by the French people. A correspondents
residing at Paris thus writes on the subject: "The
| Turkish question is still touched on cautiously
| The Lsgtmists do not wish to see France at war
with Russia The Theirs party would only desire
it on condition of being allowed to conduct the war
| themselves, The Republicans, anxious for the
glory of the Republic, ready to enter the field
| The Steele is quite sure that the Emperor of Rus
sla cannot draw back, and the NatiORal holds that
war is inevitable The latter paper distrusts Louis
| Napoleon, believing that he is secretly seeking the
support of the Gar. The President can now prove
his sincerity, by sustaining his Cabinet, which will
| not hlenph If allowed Of dizpOSi-
| tons. There can be no doubt, should the present
| Ministry be able to maintain itself, that Lord Nor
manbYs diplomatic task will be easy Should the
| Legiumists come into power, difficulties would
| most likely spring up, such as may not at present
be considered probable The Paris papers are
unanimous in declaring that the Turkish Govern
ment fully justified in refusing the eXtraditiOn
of the Hungarian and Polish refugees, as demand
ed by Russia and Austria, and that the conduct of
the Sultan and bis Ministers is deserving of the
| appreciation of EuroEs. The D6bdtS expresses a
hops that Turkey will not be left alone TO fight the
battles of the of humanity and of the law of
nations. The Dir Decem5rs, a Bonapartist papsr,
says: II is positively stated that the French Gov
eminent is decided on not allowing its old aly the
Porte, to be oppressed, and that the President of
the Republic, faithful to the sentiment of patriot
| ism, of which his name is the glorious standard
is resolved to enter frankly into the paths of ma
! tional dignity and energy, which preceding Gov
eFnments have too often forgotten for the last thirty
| five years."
