IMPORTANT AND AUTHENTIC STATEMENT OF THE AZ.
fUAL POSITION OF AFFAIRs-A CRISIS.
Without entering into refutaton OF the many
contradictory statements current respecting the posi-
tion Of the Eastern question, SHALL without more
ado, give you precise account Of how things actu-
ally stand.
In my last communication informed you that the
governments Of France and England had resolved "a
make last proposal for an adjustment of affairs.
which, if not accepted would compel them to give
orders to their respective fleets to att In consequence
Of this determination, which was communicated "a
the Prussian and Austrian ambassadors at Paris tho
question has entered new phasis. A meeting was
convened, partaking rather Of the character of q
council of war, between the ambassadors Of England,
nd xba
Foreign Affairs. The English and French govern
ments proposed that Congress should be held ak
some neutral capital, to concert measures for the
re.estabishment and for the maintenance of peace.
At this Congress all the Powers are to be represent
ed-the point of departure and1oasis Ct all negc.
tiatons to be the maintenance of the integrity of tho
Ottoman empire. Seeing the firm determination o.
Engand and France, Austria, (very reluctantly,
and Prussia consented to the proposals. aud declar-
alton to that effect vas made at Vienna on the ID
inst. formal protocol was drawn up, aud was
signed at Vienna on the 9Th inst. The intelligence
OF this common act Of the four Powers was tele-
graphed 10 ST. Petersburg the Sd inst. The place
for the meeting Of the Congress has not yet been
fixed, but Vienna is spoken o.. The protocol was
Immediately forwarded to the Sultan for his ap.
proval.
On the strength OF this the funds have risen at
Paris and London.
With all due appreciation Of the importance Of
good understanding and common action between the
four Powers, which certainly diminishes the fears
general European war, it must me-, at the same
time, be overlooked, that without the con-
sent Of the two belligerant parties, this lase
attempt at settlement Of this question
will prove failure, like the rest It has still to be
ascertained what will be the reply of the Gear and
of the Sultan 1t is scarcely possible that these re-
plies can arrive here before next mail.
AS regards the Sutan's views we have the follow.
ing data =
In reply to the address Of the new French Ambas-
sador to the Porte, General paraguay d'Hilliers.
the Sultan said =
will still reckon have hitherto DONE on the ma.
terra! and moral support OF my an,ient allies France
rgh ardenty to desire peace and also anxious for
1t, but only tndsnuch in iuay affects nv rights sf
soteregniy and The independence Of Turkey. At present an
amicabs arrangement is 1ite unacceptable ioi.o Aa
complete abandonment by Russia Of the preensons whch she
has raised and Without the immediate cudon Of the tuo
Prircipdihes WAich form an integral part Of my empire
Nov, what can be palmer than this? paraguay
dHlers distinctly stated to she Sultan that France
was of the same opinion; and at grand banquet
given on bo,rd the Turkish Admiral's ship Lord
StrAtford declared that England was desirous of
peace, but that she wished it without prejudice to
the integrity and sovereign rights of the Porte.
Turkey, France and England, are therefore of the
same opinion. Austria and Prussia have-in semb-
lance at leastgiven their adhesion to that opinion.
which is the basis of the new attempt at concilia-
tion.
Now for the rub-What will the Gear do2 VIII
he consent to this? Will he sign the protocol, with
draw from the Principaities and thereby acknowf-
edge in, the face Of all Europe, that he has been
acting the part of tyrant ani bully and retract,
simply because h finds, not that he is wrong, but
that he is not strong enough?
] imply the answer, but leave it to you to state
your own opinion.
Russia mas been beaten on the Danube beaten in
Asia, by the Turks. She has lost the prestige of
military superiority. Had she bssn victor ious she
might have retired with a semblance of honor.
Every concession on her part now is an acknowledge.
ment Of defeat.
1t is be hoped that England and France will act
up to their declaration, and IL he refuses to consent
to the terms proposed, commence active operations
in support of Turkey. The crisis is come
Meantime, but little has been doing upon the Dam
ube the river is frozen, the mountains covered with
snow. There is report, (Which requires confrma-
ton,) that the Turks advanced from KalefAt and
attacked the Russians, near Crajowa, but were de-
feated and driven back. Russian reinforcements
arrive daily in the Prncpalitiss. Baron Budbery has
arrived at Bucharest to take possession in the mama
of Russia, Of the government Of Wallacha and Mol
dayia. Prince Gortsehakoff has officially announced
this to the authorities. The Russian Councillor of
State, NJ de Kaltschinsky, has been appointed Vice
President of the administrative council of Wallaohia
This does not look as If the Emperor entertainsl
the intention Of evacuating the PrincipaEass.
