The Eastern Question.
Since the sailing of the last steamer,
nothing definite has transpired regarding
the Eastern question, thoughmany rumors
are afloat.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times says that the English and French
governments have notified Russia in
strong notes, that it is now too late to
issue more notifications, and that Eng
land and France will support the integri-
ty of Turkey. This is probable, but wants
confirmation.
According to the best accounts from
Constantinople, which are yet imperfect,
the Sultan has not yet signed the dec.a-
ration of war, but the Grand Council has
voted that war against Russia should be
declared, leaving it to the discretion Of
the Executive, when to commence hostil-
tiles.
1t was stated that Gen. Cavobert will
60 with 10000 troops to Constantinople,
that French and English troops will &C.
cupy the forts on the Bosphorus and that
the combined fleets will reach CONSTANT
nople on the eth; all of which is doubtful.
1t is automatically stated that the Car at
Olmutz declared his strong wish for peace
to enable him to back out of the difficulty.
The Paris Pdtrie contradicts semi-offi-
cially that the Sultan had signed the de-
claration of war. The Council merely re-
solved that no more concessions could be
made, and that preparation for war must
be carried on with increased energy.
The Cholera was committing greater
ravages than ever among the Russian
troops on the Danube.
Before the Car left Olmutz he sent
courier to st. Petersburg ordering new
levy of troops.
Commander Inglefield had returned from
the Arctic regions, bringing intelligence
of Sir. John Franklin.
Commander Mcclure had sailed through
Behring's Straits to Davis Straits.
Whitworth & Co.'S extensive Mills at
Dee Bridge, Yorkshire, had been burnt,
involving a loss of f150,000, and throw
ing | 400 hands out of employment.
