of European interest, and the question Of peace or
war between them is yet unsettled, SO TAR as is
known here. Rumor, however, is very busy, and
among other things in circulation to-day IS state
ment that the British ambassador IS preparing to
leave ST. Petersburgh. Paris is disquieted with
umors of new manifesto OF the Gar, described
to be Of very warlike character and insulting to
the Western Powers, particularly to France. The
Paris correspondent of the Chronicle says:
q The Russian manifesto has arrived in Paris, and is
now in the hands Of the French Government but the
thores have formally forbidden such Of the Paris pa
pers as may receive it from publishing the document
This fact is considered sufncent ground for believing
that the manifesto is warike one and extremely hos
tile to France. On the other hand NJ de Kssele the
Russian Minister, has had long and animated
saton with NJ Drouyn de LHuys the general of
affairs. NJ de Kisselef positively declared that Russia,
Prussia and Austria perfectly understood each other
and resolved the they should take in
tain circumstances and he added that in the Of
the slightest revolutionary movement in Switzerland
Italy Germany, they would unite to put down.

We would, as the best mode Of giving an idea Of the
uncertainty about this affair furnish you with the opin
ions of the leading journals English and French it
not for Lord CLARESDoss observation to the Fnsbury
dputaton upon the subject that he had not yet found
two words Of truth in all the foreign newspaper state
ments."
The latest teegraphic intelligence from Constantine
pie is that the English and French fleets have passed the
Dardanelles and anchored off the Isle of Marmora This
step, the Patre says, in respect changes the stua
ton weakens the chance OF aicabe arrangement
still important piece Of has been received from
Bucharest which is to the effect that OMAR PAcHA was
preparing to the Danube The term fixed by the
Turkish General for the withdrawal Of the Russians from
the municipalities would expire the 25th that if
OMAR PAcHA has adopted the bold step of crossing the
Danube attack the Russian ntruders, there will be
little chance Of in the attempts mediation
which have been spoken of by the Augsburg Gazette
This mediation was it said be established in
London. A letter from Paris says:
SIT is evident that the Government journals have
ceiyed mot dordre to represent the approaching in
the East harmless affair of honor in which
England and France are to play the part Of seconds and
to arrange the quarrel after the first shot fred The
Patrie Pays and Constitutional, which, when left to
themselves have often advocated Numerically opposite
views on this question, now harp complacenty upon
single string They use, with scarcely verbal yaria
ton the argument. The affair is now, they say,
in such state that nothing prevent hostile meet
ing between Russia and Turkey. They must 60 OUT
but upon the ground the wisdom power and loyal
ty of the Western Powers will forthwith arrange their
differences and make this local, temporary, inocuous
and in degree alarming warfare the foundation for
honorable and lasting peace"
We think few days must now settle this very impor-
upon happiness or misery,
the prosperity the distress of great portion of the
civilized world for the next quarter of century in all
probability depends The the pity that it should
be since its solution hangs upon the sic roio of sin

At home the question of the cholera is becoming a
fearful one at least respects London The deaths in

The weather during the week has been extremely un-
favorable for agricultural operations particularly so for
the autumn sowing of wheat There is consequently
great danger of similar state Of things again occurring
as at experienced last autumn and which has

is beginning to IN off, says the Mark-ane Express and

of daily bread during the approaching winter and
the coming spring, the statement cannot be unnteres-

NEARLY the whole Of the available stocks held the
ports in the Baltic earlier in the year have been shipped
this country and France and the wheat is not
coming to hand in fit condition to stand voyage
cannot expect to receive any further aid of importance
from that quarter until the spring Of next year. At the
continental ports there is scarcely thing left for
shipment and prices relatively higher at Hamburger
Rotterdam, Antwerp, SC. than in our markets From
France learn that, after short period of inactivity
wheat had again begun to excite attention, and quota
tons rapidly rising in that country to point to
leave margin for profit consgnments from hence
indeed within the last few small purchases of hard
wheat have been made French account 1t would be
folly to endeavor to disguise that Great Britain and
France will require immense importaons between this
and harvest and that the Baltic ports will have
smaller surplus for export than in ordinary These
facts do admit of dispute and regard therefore
certain that prices must rule comparatively high if all
other difficulties removed Irrespective Of the pro-
liability Of war; the extreme scarcity Of shipping opposes
almost insurmountabe obstacle to obtaining the
aid we are likely to stand in such need Of"
