Additional News by the Niagara.
BALTIMORE, August 5-1P.M
The following additional news by the
steamer Niagara, at Halifax has just been
received:
Respecting the Eastern difficulties there
is no doubt that the reception given by
the Cabinet, at St. Petersburg, to the first
proposition from the powersof France and
England was so favorable as to warrant
the expectation that the question will be
settled without further delay.
The Russian Chancellor is said to have
declined to the French ambassador. The
Gar will welcome the arrangement held
out for his acceptance.
1t is difficult to say whether the fol-
lowing important statement bepremature;
it came on the twentieth ultimo, and was
telegraphed from Berlin that the Gar
had actually accepted the proposal offered
by France and England. The public full
ly believe the main danger to be over.
1t was telegraphed from Vienna to
London, under date of Constantinople,
July 18th, that conciliatory note had
just been issued by Reschid Pasha, which
is considered OF such a pacific nature as
to bring the negotiations at once to con-
clusiOn.
The English and French fleets remain
still at Besika Bay.
The rumor is circulating that private in
telligence had been received which reports
that the American Minister at Constan.
tinople had addressed note to the Porte
announcing that the United States would
associate with the other forces to support
the Turkish integrity, and would hence
forth claim voicein the affairs of Europe.
1t is disbelievcd however,

The King has issued a proclamation
asserting that he would dismiss from his
service any officer, who, marrying a
Roman Catholic, shall promise to bring
up his children in that faith.

nople was serenaded by the Hungarian
refugees.
Notwithstanding the favorable accounts
from st. Petersburg, it is eXDected that
the Russians will remain in the princi-
palities until spring. They had fortified
Gessy at Bucharest, and fortified towns
on the Danube.

The war party are much concerned
about the pacific policy of the Ministry.
