1t is announced that the Turkish Minis
try has positively refused to deliver up the
Hungarians who have taken refuge in
their dominions. The Russian Ambassa-

of the Hungarian officers, Kossuth, Dem
blnskl, Perczel, Mesmerasses, and their
companions. A Russian general arrived
at Constantinople on the 18th, on a spe-
clal mission-that special mission being to
bully the Sultan into a compliance with
the demands of Austria. A council was
held and the Turkish government resolved
1
either the Russian or Austrian Govern
ment. On this decision being communi-
catep to the Sultan, he declared in the
most impressive and determined manner
that the refugees should not be given up,
let the consequences be what they might.
The London Sun says:-.We trust that
Lord Palmerston will do his duty as the
Sultan has done his; that Russia and Aus
trla will be given to understand that war
with Turkey for such cause means war
with England. We are rejoiced to find
that kossuth and bis companions are fur
nlshed with passports from the English
Ambassador, and we trust that every as
slstance will be rendered by England to
support the independence of his country
against the attacks of Russia and vassal
Austria
