The Turkish Question.

The following brought, over by the Niagara,
8 copy of the Vienna note by England,
France. Austria and Prussia, and containing
the propositions offered by those Powers for
al adjustment of the Russo. Turkish difficulties.
This note has been accepted by Russia, but
it Is improbable that she will further accede to
l,e notifications insisted upon by Turkey
The latter power, influenced by The growing
asee ndency of the war party, appears to be
firm in It's position. and hence, should the Vi
enna note be ultimately rejected, with the
overtures it contains from England aud France,
We may see Turkey left alone to struggle
in the fatal embraces Of her giant enemy
France may occupy herself in the meantime
in defining her "natural boundaries" along the
Rhine.
The following is the note Of TIE four Pow
efs:
