JERUSALEM, MAY 15.-The special Envoy Of the Porte

Sultan has manifested respecting the Greeks have

LONDON JUNE THE agitation and uncertainty on the
Turkish question continue but although pacific intel
gnce has yet been received the feeling of apprehension
seems upon the whole to have slightly diminished Ac
cordng to the latest accounts the Russian troops are adj
vancing to occupy the Danuban prncpalties and 1T is
quite probable that this event may take place. Such
result however, would be much better than any move
men Of the Russian feet from the Black Sea to Constan
tnope, which would bring them face to face with the
English and French squadrons and render an untoward
collision imminent.
The chief fact that has tended to rcassure the public
mind is the that all the European Powers
understood to have arrived at the same conclusion
with regard the conduct Of Russia and that If she now
proceeds extremies she win do in direct violation
Of what is universally acknowledged the public law Of
Europe France England, Austria, and Prussia have all
notified their union OF sentiment the matter and their
readiness to act in concert.
The Emperor Napoleon, through of his organs of
the press has stated his decided will to resist the intended
aggression if France win be supported by England and
Austria but if she is to be left to act alone In this
position of affairs the remarkable anomaly is pointed out
that the Emperor Nicholas receiving lesson
good faith and moderation from Bonaparte while the
fleets of revolutionary France sent to protect the
rights and treaties Of other nations against the oppressive
demands Of the Sovereign who has long claimed to be the
champion of legal authority and conservative powers
Besides these demonstrations other have been
resored which likely to Russia to alter her
doing so without open humiliation. The Sultan, 1T is
said has appointed Ali Pasha his brother-naw TO pro-
coed special mission to ST. Petershurgh one object
of which, it is believed win be to to the En-
peror that the Sultan will be willing to place the Chris
tan population Of Turkey under the protection Of all the
European Powers although he cannot submit to the ex
elusive demands Of Russia Meanwhile, however, by way
of fully maintaining her dignity Turkey is making oil
those demonstrations of prepared vaor the
part of the weak when they know that more powerful
agents at hand to take up their quarrel.
Looking at the entire question at this moment, 1t is
impossible to anticipate any other than quiet conclu-
sion. With all Europe sincerely eager to avert the
threatened collision is very unlikely that Nicholas will
put himself in the position Of outlaw merely to preci
plate an event that or later inevitable from ma
tura causes.
The Paris correspondent of the London Times, in
a letter of June 4th, writes as follows:
