Russian ArFAIRs.-The news respecting
the Eastern question is conflicting and I'M
decided, as even the Sultan refuses to sign
the war declaration against Russia The
French and English Ambassadors therefore
sent for assistance to protect the Sultan and
Christian residents. Four steam frgates,
two French and two English. passed the
Dardanelles, and anchored off Constantine

occur. The Sultan was displeased with the
Foreign Ministers for bringing their fleets to
Constantinople.
