BY far the most important political news
by this arrival, is the possible and even
probable war with Turkey. Il form. ,be
chief topic Of discussion in the English
and French journals, as well as amone,t
all classes; and in its paramount impor.
lance, the Roman difficulty, as well a. IN
other matters Of national im poriance. An.
pear almost wholly lost sight Of. The
most recent accounts from. Constantinople
state, that The Emperor Of Russia has mad
a formal demand for the SUI render Of Kc.
suth, Benz. and fhe other patriots who
have sought refuge III The Turkish donln.
IONS. The Turkish government, wi1Is
manliness which cannot be too highly e.
tolled, refused 10. be buiiied, and although
in England and France, cabinet councils
have been held 10 consider these grave
circumstances, not the slightest doubt can
be entertained Of the result, should Rus.
STA persist in her demand for the surren.
der of these devoted men, that an Europe.
an war would be inevitable.
The Paris journal des Debats" saws:
awe are glad 10 learn tina. England and
France are most cordially united in The "a.
vices given by them 10 the Porte res pect.:
ing the extradtion of.he refugees" The
Russian envoy, finding his threats uInnaavsil-
ing, took abrupt departure from constsn.
,inople, and the Russian Minister haS
closed all his diplomatic intercourse with

the Sultan in keeping him firm in his ifsi
resolution.

manufacturing districts accounts are iar

Another mail from the East Indies
brings dates from Calcutta TO the Goth Au-
gust, and from Bombay 10 Isl September.

and an advance OF 1 TO Genuine took place,
with sales OF | ,528 bales. There has been
a marked improvement in the rates Of
