WARM BURoPE.-A writer In the New
York Tribune, under date London, July 18th
ult., says:
At last the Russians have entered the
Principalities. The harvest had begun a.
bout the Goth Of June. On the Sd Of July,
the first corps of the invading army, about
-, 900, crossed the Pruth, to be reinforced
subsequently by another corps Of about 49,
600 men. Bot far greater masses OF troops
are marching to the frontier. The prepar-
atons of Russia are on larger scale than
before the Hungarian campaign, in which
100000 men were sent out of the county
The Car has issued proclamation appeal
ing to the fanaticism of the Greek Church,
and charging the inoffensive Sultan, the
Khalif, the head of the Mussulman religion,
with perGdious perjury. This proclama ion
was not known in Constantinople when the
last post left that capital but it is easy to
predict thatthe Turks, and all the Mussul-
mans. will be excited beyond measure aud
that the war cry raised on the Ncva, where
the Russians, at the last solemn procession
of the Gar to the Church OF st. Isaac, i'm
plored him to lead them on holy crusade to
st. Sophia, ut Constantinople, will be re-
echoed from the Bosphorus. Yet the ex-
changes and the diplomatiSts oil Europe cling
to every triAng incident which can'afford
hope of maintaining peace. When the news
of the occupation reached COnstantinople,
and twas known that the Russians had real
ly crossed the frontier, the Ambassadors Of
England, France aud Austria went to the
Sultan, requesting him not to take the inVa-
sion for caSus 6eili, and not to summon the
fleets to the capital. The Sultan reluctant
" accented the advice-takiDg it for sign
that, after all, he cannct rely upon England
and France, aud will have to carry ON the
war unsupported by the Western Powers
The influence of Lord Stratford has accord
ingly materially declined.
In the mean time secret negotiations have
been carried on at London, and propositions
made to the Gear, without the knowledge Of
the Sultan, about the terms under which the
combined powers are ready to make set
tlement. But the conduct of Baron Bruck,
the Austrian Ambassador at Consta antino-
pie, becomes daily more suspicious. He Of
fercd the good offices Of Austria, but at the
same time he once more insisted upon the
cession of the Suttorina and Kleck, the two
strips Of Turkish territory intersecting the

the Adriatic, which had been refused to
Count Leiningen.
While such negotiations are going on at
London and Constantinople, Russian en-
missaries are preparing an outbreak in Ser
via against Prince Alexander Karageorge-
wch, and it is hintedin the papers adv ocat-
ing the Russian interest, that all occupation
of Serva may follow the invasion of the
principalties, and Austria has in fact sent
two regiments to the fortress of Petcrwar-
diem, close to the frontier Of Servia. The
Turks, on the other hand, have succeeded
from the port of Batoum, on the Black Sea-
where their garrison has been considerably
reinforced-in smuggling great quantities Of
arms and ammunition into the mountains o.
Circassia. A force Of $4,000 mon, too large
for the defensive, has been assembled a
Erzeroum, which, if war is declared, car
reach Shamyl and his heroic mountaineer'
in ten days. The preparations on botl
sides are enormous, the price of arms ha'
suddenly risen in Constantinople some sixty
per cent, but neither GeorgeLaw nor Col
Colt has taken advantage OF this splendi'
opportunity.
