RUSSIA AND TURKEY.-Count Nesselrode

ties because French and English fleets occupy
Turkish waters; and hints most clearly, that Rus

gain time and render its position impregnable,
scarcely admitting the possibility of Opiu-
ions begin to press for something decisive, and the
public are continually amused by dispatches of a
pacific tendency, the latest implying that France
and England had, last week, forwarded to 81.
Petersburg a moderate note of concession, on
both Sides to end the matter. An answer was
expected about week from July lIth; till re-
ceved, all is mere guess work.
The London papers have the following rumors:
That NJ. Bruck Austrian Envoy, instead of
conciliatory mission to Constantnope, has made
an imperative demand on Turkey, for all conces-
sions previously refused 10 Liningen's mission.
Trouble at Smyrna. In riot at Smyrna, re-
sultlng from the arrest of Costa, Kossuths ennis
sary, the Captain of the U. S. frigate St. Louis
behaved calamity In consequence of the row,
Austria demanded, and received from Turkey,
satisfaction for he insult, and the governor of
Smyrna was discharged. The American COM
mander's conduct excited admiration. The U. S.
irigate Cumberland was still at Pir@us.
Advices from Smyrna, June 20, state that the
captain of the American frgate has laid his vessel
close to the Austrian brig in which the Hungarian
Colonel Costa is imprisoned The American
captain declared he would oppose the removal of
the prisoner to Trieste The United States min-
lister claims Costa on the plea that he is an Amer
lean citizen.
The Smyrna correspondent of the Marseles
Semapore, gives the following account of the dis
turbance at that place:-s'lF appears that NJ.
Costa, Hungarian ex-aid -de-camp to Kossuth,
and who had Just returned from the United States
was secfeted in the heuse ola Sandman in Smyr-
ma; his whereabouts came to the ears of NJ. Yer
becker, the Austrian consul general, who, under
pretence of searching for thief, dragged HIM
out, gagged, handcufed and conveyed him on
board the Austrian brig-of-war Huzzar. All the eff
forts Of the other Europeans, aided by Ali Pacha
and the native officers, to have the prisoner hand
ed over to the local tribunals, were in vain. On
the following day, the U. S. irgate St. Louis, en-
tered the port, and the captain of the frigate went
on board the Austrian ship,and demanded to talk
with the prisoner, whom they believed to have a
claim 10 the protection of the United States
The Austrian lieutenant denied that he had any
prisoner board The captain of the St. Louis
and the consul then went to the Austrian consul

NJ Verbecker admitted that the prisoner was on
board, and gave forced consent to see him. Re-
turning on board the Austrian vessel, the Amer
| lean captain thus addressed commander Schwartz
&c hen | came on board, short time SINCE
! your lieutenant lied to my face; the meanest of
my cabin boys would not have been guilty of such
cowardce! Where is the prisoner? | wish TO see
him. AS commander Schwartz hesitated, the
American added--''bear in mind that if the pris-
oner claims my protection, and has the slightest
right to it, will remove him myselfand will not
allow him TO remain another minute on board"
Unfortunately, the generous efforts ofthe captain
ofthe st. Louis useless, for the prisoner pre-
varicaed, and betrayed himself so much in his
replies, that he did not give his defenders the
slightest chance to save him. When this was
known on shore, the greatest excitement broke
out, and the Italians would have burned the Aus
trlan consulate had it not been well defended; in
their heat they attacked three Austrian midship-
men, who were on shore, and killed one.
On the other side. the Greeks or Ausrians,
(the account is somewhat obscure) laid plan to
assasslnate the American officers, but being
! warned in time, they avoided the danger. The
Italians and their allies have sworn TO poignard
the ten Greeks who arrested Costa, and the
Greeks swear they will murder ten Italians for
every Greek. The city continued in state of
| ferment
