| enclose you two important documents on the
Eastern question The first is another circular des-
patch OF Count Nesselrode, the Russian Metternch,
TO Russian diplomatic agents at foreign courts ex-
planning the Emperor's views and intentions towards
Turkey. The language is arrogant as that Of the
former one. II Tretends, in addition, that the ad.
rance Of the combined fleets Of England and France
to the mouth of The Dardaneles is a maritime occw-
patton on the part Of those ,vo po,cers, and warrants
the occupation ,cich has taken place of the Danubian
primcipatt,es Such specious pleading is absurd,
when is known that the positions of the fleets is no
infringement Of treaties they have not entered the
Dardanelles and that their sole object was to pre-
vent any sudden attack Of Russia on Constantinope
The Emperor says that, under the circumstances, he
cannot recede In order to maintain the status quo,
he says, "that Turkey must act towards Russia in
such manner as to render the coexlstence Of the
two powers possble;" in other words that the Sultan
must do the Czars bidding at all times.
The second document, published in yesterdays
HERALD which is Prince Gortschakoff's pDcla-
nation, (the general in command of the troops
that have occupied Moldavia and Wallachia) dis
tincsy states that the Emperor will avoid an often
sive war against Turkey as long ashis dignity and
the interests of his Empire ,cH permit him to do so
This is plain enough. 1t is now rumored but the
fumor requires confirmation, that Austria is secretly
inclined to support Russia and has in fact recon-
menced bullying at Constantnople.
I war oil r,lo OH $oo, ol
dence in the telegraphic dispatches published by
some of the London papers without being properly
authenticated. In both houses last night interpella
tons were put on the reported entrance of the Aus
TRANS into Bosnia. Lord John Russell declared that
the Austrian ambassador did not believe it, The
reported sailing Of the Russian fleet from Sebastopo
is also contradicted Nesselrodes circular was also
discussed Lord John said that he did not think that
the Russian government could substantiate the allie
CATION that the occupation of the Danubian pro
vinces had been caused by the advance of the English
and French fleets
As it Is, peace or war hangs open thread. There
Is report in circulation that collision has taken
place between Turkish and Russian ships or troops
but look upon it as an idle rumor.
There has been a serious disturbance at Smyrna
details of which are enclosed and what may tend to
cause a breach between Austria and Turkey. The
conduct of the American comm ander is deserving oi
the highest praise.
All dssension in the ministry is at end. Pamers
ton himself, the other night, requested Layard to
postpone bis Interpolation the Eastern question
No better proof could be given Of the concord which
prevails in the ministry. Pamerston, moreover, de-
clared that the English and French governments
we're firmly resolved to act together, with the same
policy aud interests in view, and that they were de-
termined to maintain the integrity of the Ottoman
Empire. The greatest harmony prevails between the
officers and crews Of the French and English squad
Ions at Reska RaY.
