from Krajoya of the Both ut state that up to that
date the Russians had made no advance against
KaIafat. II was thought that General Fishback
had been ordered 20 fall back upon Bucharest,
where Prince Gortscbakof is concentrating the
whole of his troops, with the front Of his army
turned towards Sstria. On the 27th, 10Th, and
10Th ult. the Turks renewed their attacks near
Giurgevo, without, however, obtaining any favor
able results.
Within the last ten days about 400 Of the Rus
slams who were wounded al OltenitZa, had died.
Among them were fifteen officers and three colo
nels. The Russian general who was killed IN that
battle was Baron Plosen.

The following is the text Of the Sutan's reply to
General paraguay d'Hilliers
O have always relied, and rely in the present
crisis, on the material and moral support Of my
ancient allies, France and Great Britain France,
and the rest Of Europe, have the right to insist
(vouloir) on peace. !, too, desire peace, but only
if il can be had without prejudice TO my sovereign
rights and the independence Of Turkey. AT
present no arrangement is possible without the
entire remuneration of the pretenslons put forward
by Russia, and without the immediate and COM
plete evacuation Of the two principalities, which
are part Of my empire,
France.-PARIs, Dec. &C p. M.-The tele-
graphic dispatch in the IIn,es, which announced
the acceptance by Austria Of the proposals of
France and Great Britain on the Oriental ques-
ton had most favorable effect on the Bourse.

Prussia BERLIN, Dec. 2-The panic which
was produced some four or five months back by a
statement of the Aftonbladt that Russia intended
10 station 80, 900 men in Finland although written
down at the time as chmera, turns out to be
true, on the authority of the semi-oficia Svenska
Tdning II appears that not only hevel and Ri
ga have received $4,000 men of the picked grena-
diers, but also that 10000 men have been added
70 the usual garrison Of Finland, 10000 strong
OF this last addition 5000 aye stationed in Bomars-
und, on the island Of Alaad, over against Stock,
holm.
Ten thousand sailors are concentrated at Hell
singfofs and nine ships Of the line are appointed
10 that station, that they may be ready to put
out to sea earlier than they would be able to DO
from Cronstadt. Not long ago a Russian vessel
of war appeared of the southern coast Of Goth
land lwhere the Swedes are terrifying their harbor,)
and making signals of distress, put into the port
and sent on shore for provisions, to be supplied
with which the crew was in urgent want. The
rest of the day was occupied in carefully noting
the bearings, soundings &c. as well as the appar-
ent strength of the Notifications and when, next
morning, the provisions were brought down TO
the harbor the ship in distress" had put 10 out to
sea.
Austria vienna, Dec 2-You were yesterday
informed that the straightforward, manly address
read by M. de Manteufel, at the opening of the
Prussian Chambers was said TO have produced q
most unpleasant impression in the highest orioles
here, and this appears TO be probable enough.
The Prussian government not only employs the
language beseeming powerful State, but il also
reserves to itself the right of independent action
during the present crisis. Now, the aim Of this
government is supposed to have been to induce.
Prussia to sink her individuality for the moment
and 10 place herself, conformity with Austria, I'M
der the Central power at Frankfort. Had this plan
succeeded, the German Confederation might have
officially declared its neutrality, and Austria would
have been furnished with sufficient plea for not
rendering any active assistance TO her great north
ern ally. The rivalry between the two German
powers is as great ever, and for the following
son the policy of Austria must, in a great mea-
sure, depend on that of Prussia.
The antpathy to Russia is even more strongly
pronounced in Germany than il is in France or
England and should Prussia make common cause
with the western powers, the Germans would al-
most to q man give her their sufrages. OF this
fact Austrian statesmen are well aware; and there
fore il is not probable that such an advantage will
be conceded to the rival power, the more particu-
larly as the idea of a future German empire is not
entirely relinquished. On my return from short
Journey, some two months since, there was a
vague rumor in circulation ABOUT hints having been
thrown out by the Russians while at Olmutz, rela-
tive to the re-establishment OF an empire IN Ger
many, on certain conditions. II was even saidthat
the suspicious Of the prince of Prussia Were
aroused that the journey his royal brother To
Warsaw was consequence Of communications
received from the Moravian capital.
II is possible that people are inclined to find out
C meanings never meant !" but there is an impress
sion that in the event Of general war, in which
Austria sided with Russia, promises would be
made by the western powers to Prussia which
would at once insure her cooperation. All these
are depate matters to treat a in public letter.
and therefore, they have been but lightly touched
on. Your Paris correspondent recently wrote
that the duchess OF orleans WIS HOT q purity 10
the compact recently entered into at Frohsdorf,
but the correctness Of his assertion has been much
questioned. He is, however, perfectly right.
The Duke Of Nemours gave in his adhesion
g for himself and his brothers." as you were in
formed by my first ,elegraphic dispatch on the
subject. Mention was, OF course made, or the
Count de Paris but there is reason to believe that
his claims will be left in allegiance until after the
Oath of August 1854, when he will be 10 years of
age It is said that the Duchess Of Orleans wishes
that her son should have the privilege of Judging
for himself The prevalent opinion here is, that
an Austrian lady Of high rank had hand in the
reconciliation, but diplomatic men are inclined TO
fancy that the King Of Belgium and Russia were
the prime agents.
The Trest Zeitnng contains two or three letters
ofthe 2lst ult., from Constantinope, When M,
de la Cour had taken leave Of the Sultan, the lat
ter sent him splendid snuff box. with his portrait
in diamonds.
The enthusiasm and patriotism ofth Turks in
crease day by day. Voluntary contributions are
received from all parts Of the empire, and Con-
stantinope alone has raised $50 600 pastres for
the maintenance of the army. The English OH
