GENERAL ISTELLIGENcE.-The steam
er America arrived out on the 3lst ult
/ 1t was feared the Emperor of Russi
would decline to withdraw his force
from the principalities, as stipulated Il
the proposition of the three powers
The English and French fleets would, i
that case, be ordered to pass the Oar
danelles, thereby placing the peaceful
settlement of the Eastern question il
great jeopardy.
A telegraphic despatch from Con
stantinople, under date of the Goth ult.
says the Porte and the representative
of the great powers had accepted th'
proposition of the American minister
which arranged that the English feet
should withdraw from Besiks bay, willis
the Russians should evacuate the Danu
bian provinces. Turkey would ther
send an ambassador and open negotia
tions with St. Petersburg.
The London Morning Chronicle re.
afirms that the United States had of,
fered the Porte both money and active
forces.
A decline in the funds, both in Lon
don and Paris, had been caused by an
article published in the Paris Constitu-
tionel, declaring that France and Eng
land would not consent to the arrange
ment which had been proposed at Con-
stantinople; and news that the Gar had
issued decree, ordering fresh levy Of
recruits throughout the Empire, had
created great uneasiness, the movement
being interpreted war measure.
Moldavia had declared itself inde-
pendent of the Porte, and had refused
to pay further tribute. A similar move
ment was expected in Wallachia. 1t is
asserted that the Porte intends address
ing an ultimatum to Russia, in which,
after paying due regard to the rights Of
the Sultan's subjects belonging to the
Greek church, that the Sovereign de-
clares that if, regardless of these re-
peated assurances, the Car should per-
sist in offering war, the Porte is re-
solved to accept it, but that the response
bility must rest upon Russia. 1t is
stated that this document had been laid
before the Ambassadors of France and
England.
Orders had been sent to the Hospo-
dars of Moldavia and Wallaehia, COM
manding them to quit the Principalities,
and retire to the right bank of the
Danube.
A very favorite change had taken
place in the weather in England, which
had good effect on the prospects of
the wheat crop.
The reports of the spread of the
Potato disease were conflicting; but, on
the whole, unsatisfactory.
Among the passengers by the Hum
boldt is S. G. Goodrich, late Consul at
Paris.
The Egyptian fleet, with 10000 men,
had arrived at Constantinople.
Admiral Dundas, of the English
feet, with all his captains, had been on
a reconnaissance of the Turkish ports
and vessels.
The Russian demand on Persia for
the cession of the Province of Tauris,
in lieu of 8O,OOO,O00 rubles, was re-
newed.
1t was rumored at Vienna that
secret treaty was progressing between
the United States and the Porte, and
that it was probable Marmarizza would
be ceded to the former. Three Ameri-
can frigates were in the Bosphorus.
Another ministerial crisis is feared at
Constantinople. A Frenchman, named
Raymond, had been arrested
at Southampton, on charge of having
against the life of Louis Ma
poleon. He was taken to London for
examination.
LArER.-The America arrived at
Halifax on the 10th inst, with Liver
pool dates to the 9th:
RUSSIA AND TURKEY.-The Eastern
question was nearly decided one way or
the other, but the aspect of affairs did
not look promising of peace. The
Cars final answer could not be known
until the 12th of August. If he ac-
cepted the propositions of the three
Powers, his troops must be withdrawn
from the Principalities. The confer
snces at Vienna in pursuance of ar
will conclude a treaty to
protect Turkey at all hazards for all
lime to come If the Car refuses the
lltimatum or evades reply, the allied
fleets will enter the Bosphorus and fur
ther active measures be taken to main
ain the integrity of Turkey.
The conduct of the Russian Generals
in the Principalities, indicates the inten-
lion to maintain permanent possession.
Russia exhibits no sign of retraclion.

sian admiral had gone to Sebastopol to

we're also fortifying Jassy and Bucharest.
