PoL1rIcAI AFFA1Rs.-The Eastern
question is still involved in doubt and
mystery. Some accounts bear-s pacific
tone, whilst others are war-hke. All at
best seems to be but indefinite rumor.
One account states that there had been
no fighting, whilst another, purpOrtmg
to be the very latest dispatch from the
East by telegraph intimates that hostili-
ties had commenced, and further asserts
that desperate battle had been fought
in Asia on the 9lst. Also, that the
Turks had been defeated by the Rus
slams in a serious engagement in lower
Wallachia.
A refugee tumult has taken place at
Pera.
The combined fleets are lying off
Laksaki in the Dsrdanelles.
Russian subjects in Turkey have been
placed under Austrian protection.
The Porte has dispatched Namik
Pasha to Paris and London on a special
mission.
Gortschakoff left Bucharest for Kra-
ioina. His departure produced great
sensation, and a battle is expected in
that direction.
is stated that martial law has been
proclaimed throughout Russia and Tur-
key-that it was strickly enforced in
Bucharest and all towns in the pro
vinces. Any person found correspond
ing with the Turks was at once shot.
The Turkish fleets weighed anchor on
the 95th, for the Black Sea.
1t is said that Austria has consented
to mediate for peace with the other
poYers.
There are other accounts which say
that affairs along the Danube are war
like, but that the general belief was
that the question would be finally
settled amicably.
Omer Pasha, previous to crossing the
Danube, addressed a proclamation to
the army, stirring up their courage by
declaring that he would sacrifice body
and soul to be revenged.
1t is supposed that the Russians
purpose allowing considerable portion
of Turks to establish themselves in
Lesser Wallachia, in order to bring on a
battle the sooner. The Russians are
confident of victory, and after quietly
driving back the Turks, will await a
settlement of affairs on such terms as
the combined European powers may
think reasonable.
Turkey kept her word in reference to
the evacuation of the Principalities,
having commenced hostilities immedi-
ately upon the expiration of the Is
days.
Affairs in England and France were
comparatively quiet.
The supply of breadstuifs generally
in Europe is known to be short.
German affairs were perfectly tran
quill, except so far as the excitement
caused by the Eastern difficulty.
The very latest reports state that
fighting had commenced briskly in
Wallachia. That 1000 troops had at
tackled the town of Gingos, and had an
engagement with the Russians, which
resulted in considerable loss on both
sides. Another encounter took place
near Klafat between 5000 Turks and
5000 Russians, and that the Russians
were obliged to fall back. Many killed
and wounded on both sides.
