Further News BY the Asia

Further News by the Asia
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The Asia brought
147 passengers.
The following dispatches have caused
considerable excitement, being interpreted
that the Russians had recrossed the Pruth:
which, however, does not appear to be
! the case:
BUCHART, August 10.-Gen. Asten Pa
chen, commander of the third corps of the
Russian army, has crossed Pruth with
his forces. Gen. Luders, with the fifth
corps, is still at Ismail.
GALATz, August -.
y Russian commission has arrived at
the mouth of the Sulina to investigate the
condition of the river and to advise as to
the means of making it navigable. A re-
port prevailed at Constantinople on the
18th, that collision had taken place
between Omar Pacha and the Russians
on the Danube.
Correspondence from the Capitol states
that the French Government had received
dispatches from Vienna which are sur
missed to contain the adhesion of the
Porte, but only on the indispensable con-
dition that the Danube Personalities be
evacuated before the Sultan will send an
Ambassador to the Car. To meet this
punctillio Vienna conference proposed
as middle course for the point of accep.
lance Of the Gar and Sultan. This pro-
posal had been communicated from Wen.
ma to Constantinople and St. Petersburg.
Some time must necessarily elapse before
the replies can be received.
On the oath of August, at Osborne.
Mr.. lngersoll delivered to the Queen his
letters of recall, and Mr.. Buchanan was
presented by Lord Clarendon.
FRANCE
The settlement ofthe Eastern Question
is now generally regarded by the Parisans
as fat accompH.
Gen. Moutholon, who shared Emperor
Napoleon's captivity at ST. Halena, died
at Paris,
Accounts from the Departments repre-
sent all apprehensions respecting the
Eastern difficulty as dying away.
Commercial enterprise begins generally
to revive.
The Emperor and Empress remain at
Dieppe, where they were well received.
Mr.. Soule was in Paris at the date of

LATEST FROM CONsTANTINoPLE
\ despatch dated the nineteenth of
August has reached Vienna The Porte
has accepted the collective note with very
trifiing verbal notifications. Col. Raft
would leave on the twentieth with partic-
ulars thereof confirming the above.
Advices from London of the same date
say the Turks are anxious for Pacific
settlement Through the aid of four pow
ers, but they require some alteration in
the note that had been sent from Vienna.
A Turkish Courier is to proceed to that
place on the twentieth, with the note
modified according to their wishes.
