the Turkish Manifesto, il one of the strongest
end most unanswerable state papers that has
ever been issued during the present century.
The London Post says that morally, Rus
sia is already defeated, and that she will be
so materially. Hosiilities on the Danube
and the shores of the Caspian Sea are deem
Ell ic be inevitable.
A dispatch from Vienna, of 18th inst,
says that Goitschakof, the Russian Com
mander in the principalilies, has replied TO
The Turkish summons TO leave within fifteen
days, that he has no authority either 10 com
mence hostiIi,ies, make peace or to evacua,e
the principalties, and that therefore, he re-
fuses 10 do either.

Danube up 10 the 25ih inst, but alter thai,
they are TO be excluded.

subjects from the Turkish service.
The Turkish declaration Of wal has been
published in full. 1t is temperate in Ian
guage, but high spirited. 1t lays 10 embar
go upon Russian ships, and fully protects the
rights Of commerce.

that they will keep neuIal in the difficulties
growing on, of the Eastern Question, and
French and Engish dipomalisls, therefore,
consider that The war being confined to the
Turkish frontier will not be likely to spread
throughout Europe.
When the Car Of Russia heard of the de-
clara,ion of war BY Turkey, he fell into
furious rage, and swore he would wage
war of determination with the Turks.
Omar Pasha has notified the Russian Com
mander TO clear out Of the Principalhies be-
fore the 25lh, or he would commence hos,il-
ties. 1t is no, supposed that the fighting will
commence on the Danube, but in Georgia or
on the Black Sea.
Chi General Paskewiich is 10 take the
chief command Of the Russian army in the
Principal,ies.
