FROM OUR PARIS CORRESPONDENT.
PARIS, OCTOBER 90 1858.
You will receive by this mail the text of the mani
festo by which the Sublime Porte announces to the
world its determination to appeal to arms for the
arbitrament Of its quarrel with Russia, and gives
the motives of that determination. The document
is characterized by remarkable force of argument,
moderation and iberality In all these particulars
it would be worthy of the most enlightened
and liberal Government of the world. The
Russian Emperor is reported to have received
intelligence of the defnitive warke intentions of
the Porte with magnificent explosion of wrath, and
have instantly reractcda all conciiatory propositions
which have been currently attributed to him for few
days past These propositions, however, were doubt
less expressions of course, and did not indicate
any sincere intention his part to depart from the
rigorous terms of his ultimatum We have news from
St. Petersburgh up to the 18th instant. The de-
sign is manifested to conduct the war with great
energy and with overwhelming forces. His armies
upon the Danube and in Asia are to be powerfully
and promptly reinforced The whole of that divi-
sion of his military force styled the army of Eu-
rope, and which formed in great part his corps de
reserve, is ordered into active service In a short
time he will have five hundred thousand men upon
the Danube and two hundred thousand more upon
the eastern shores of the Black Sea in ASIA Prince
KEwITscH the most distinguished and who is considered
the ables of the Russian generals is to have the
Rand in chief of the troops operating against Turkey
On the other side the greatest enthusiasm prevails War
upon Russia is einenty the will of the nation Volun
eers offering themselves in vast numbers, and the
wealthy of all orders freely and zeaously offering
means for the equipment and support of the army But
apprehension is felt that until next spring any rate
military operations of Importance will take place upon
the Danube in Europe 1t is believed that express
ders from Constannope forbid 0MER PAcHA to leave his
enrenched positions among the Balkans and the right
bank Of the Danube in attempt the river and
storm the camps of the Russians the left bank This
would be too wildly abandoning the advantages of posi-
ton which the Turks PROFESSIONALLY possess present
Even if the propitious the Russians would

to Prince GoRTscHAKoFF, who at present commands in
the Principalities is to remain the deensue; main
tain his occupation resist attacks but avoid all aggres
by attempt to advance This accords completely
with the policy have all along attributed the Gar.
Fsna is his motto, borrowed from his brother En-
peror the Roman Caesar. Inacton except in strict de-
fence of his actual positions, military and diplomatic, will
all his present ends and finally open for him the
way to Consantinope more surely, speedily, and cheapy
than would the employment in aggressive hostites Of
his immense military departure from this
policy would in the Of and the advance OF
the Russian troops toward Consantnope most certainly
nduce France and England to declare openly for Turkey
for the protection of the Dardanelles and the Turkish
capital That protection would be efficient and sufficient
The Gar knows it. lie will not therefore provoke its
offer by exciting any doubt Of his sincere intention
fine himself for the settlement of his present quarrel with
the Porte to the terms of his ultimatum which, as
known, are deemed by the Powers so outrageousy
aggressive and imminenty dangerous to the European
equilibrium to dictate resort to by France and
England in order to prevent their enforcement We're
the Car to show intention to follow up the military
successes which will doubtless after few months, if
at first his arms by seizng Constantnople, the
war would there is equally little doubt soon become
general. France and England would join Turkey Aus
tria would soon find herself forced to join Russia and
little later we would Prussia compelled though sadly
against her will to ally herself Extensively and defensive
| y with the two Northern Powers. And thus We would
have general war; of which God only knows what would
be the result But fortunately for the peace of the world
