what may be the result shall hold that 1t win be
wrong to call steps taken by the Turks declaration
Of war" War was think, declared by the Russians
when they invaded the soil Of Turkey II the French
to land troops in Kent Sussex, and the English
Government were to order troops march from Surrey
Hampshire to drive out the invaders the marching
such troops could not be called declaration Of war
The question of policy respects England and France
taking sides in the possible contest cannot think be
discussed They pledged to support Turkey The wis
dom exhibited in giving such pledge may be questioned
the obligation to redeem it does not admit of any doubt
is certain that the English and French Governments
have rejected the Olmutz proposition Theywill not have
the Vienna note retained do they consider the deca
ration offered by the Car guaranty against its abuse
These views communicated to the Emperor whilst
at Berlin The English and French Governments insist
upon his acceptance Of the Vienna note modified by
REscHD PASTA. The Emperor has also been informed
that while the Porte takes its stand upon the basis of its
last Offer France and England will support it if
ry by force Of So this great question stands at
this moment, far our knowledge in England
tends
The Emperor of Austria and the King of Prussia have
been paying what is called military visit to the Car at
Warsaw In some quarters there suspicious that the
visit was diplomatic, and that it beokens alliance be-
the three soveregn and detection of Austria and
Prussia from the Western Powers. The most probable
opinion however, to be that, in the event of Rus
sia and Turkey becoming involved in war; Austria and
Prussia will remain neutral rhe Times verifes the cir
cumstances and conclusions which we have stated:
"The Gear has learned the terms from which the
Western Powers will not syerve, and which they pre-
pared at the cost Of war; to maintain 1t will be
satisfactory the whole country to understand that these
resolutions have been taken with perfect unanimy by the
Cabinet, and that between the British and French Gov
erments there prevails entire accord upon every
to dissolve or impair tie alliance have utterly failed
France and EnglaJd have announced their determine
tion to support Turkey if necessary by force Of arms in
resisting the demands preferred by Russia They have
agreed in point fact abide by those conditions of
settlement which the Four Powers conceived themselves
to be expressing in their Vienna note but which they
failed to convey with any accuracy Of language The
notifications suggested by the Porte substantially
adopted by the Western Powers the basis OF their
terms and the Emperor Nicholas has not been INDUCED
in his desires respecting the point of form At Omuz
readers aware the Car professed his readi
concede the principle of the Turkish notifications
provided only that the recognition affected by means
of an explanatory declaration and the original Vienna
note still retained the regulating instrument between
the parties. In this particular however, France and Eng
land declined to yield and they have required that the
of the Gear conditions which he already admits
in substance shall be expressed and recorded in do
cument unchanged by previous false interpretation
which Russia has already publicly declared to mean
exactly what the Western Powers think it should not
mean represent satisfactory settlement be-
tween the Western Powers and Russia
The Emperor of Russia subsequently visited the King
of Prussia Berlin and Potsdam, where it is said, the
sovereign acted the part of maker and
urged the Gear to make the necessary concessions.
As though war, come when it WILL will not be bad
enough sorry to find that many hot-headed peo
pie in London, Leicester Sheffield, and other places
endeavorng induce the British Government to plunge
headong into hostilities large meeting held at
the Lonnon Tavern on Friday evening" at which Lord
DUDLEY STUART presided and Sir CHAs. NAPIER, Mr..
BLAcKETT, NJ P, and Professor NEWMAN made highly in
fammatory speeches. Mr. URoUHARr wished to propose
resolution declaring that Ministers not competent
the emergency but having made his speech he aban-
doned his motion.
In the mean time the westward march of Russian
troops through Bucharest continues and the number of
arrivals increases and the Turkish Government has
tainly relaxed its activity Reinforcements al
daily sent off to the army the Danube steamers
sent Syria for troops and munitions and ord
nance to the forces in Asia Minor The equvocal posi-
ton of Persia the subject uneasiness in Con-
stantnople, and late letter from that city says:
1.-The Journal of Constantnople not long since took
compacent notice of the concentration Of troops in Per-
sia and their direction TO tho Turkish frner, IL IL
we're certain that they destined TO lend their aid
should be glad TO learn that the Ottoman
Government could rely the support, at least the
neutrality of Persia but considering the secular antpa-
thy of the two nations ii will be wonder if the Shah
Is seduced by Russian arts into hostility to Turkey The
recent Persian mission to ST. Peersburgh and its objects
enyeloped in much mystery but know the Envoy
received decorations from the Gar and similar distinctions
been accorded to the other members of the embassy
The Shah is himself puppet in the hands Of venal
and INSCRIPTIONS Minister'S and the power Russian geld
will doubtless be proved should the situation require
military diversion the Persian side of the Turkish
frontier. Happily, the Ottoman Government has means
in its hands of weakening the external power of Persia
The Usbecks warike race descended from the great
original Turkish nation which occupied the modern Turk
esan have their seat the Persian frontier and have
often proved by warke deeds that they cherish their
relationship to the 0smans Of Turkey, and ready
Asia will find work for Russian forces than the Car
spare should the Porte and Russia come to serious
fighting"
The British Ambassador at Consantinople whatever
may be the result Of his exerons in his present most re-
sponsibe position has identified the of STRATFoRD
CANNING with rational progress in the East He has
lately achieved three important steps in the march of
amelioraton l. The abolition of the haratsh capita
ton tax, by which Christians obtained for year the
right Of carrying their heads their shoulders 2 The
full admission of the evidence Of Christian witnesses in
criminal courts without which innocent lives might be
away by fanatical depositions 8. The transfer
nation of the Council Of State into species Of represen

spirit Of deseron spreads in the Russian army Up to
the present time four corps have passed the Pruh These
