The steamship America, which arrived at Boston
yesterday atte noon, brought the latest Geographic
dispatches from all parts Of The continent o; Ed
rope which had been received at Liverpool up to
the hoos of dep arturo. From these we learn that
the utmost silence prevailed az 81. Petersburg with
regard to political affairs however the steady march
q large bodies of troops wards the Turkish from
tier combined with the positive refusal the Car to
accept the notifications of the Sultan The plan OF
settlement proposed by the neutral Powers and which,
N turn, was followed by an order from the Russian
commander notifying his soldiers that they were
scaled upon to anniniiate paganism, as well as
who oppose their sacred mission render it apparent
that Russia not only anticipated but anxiousy desired

Q degree unprecedented-tn were burning 20 drive
back the invaders. Omer Pasha was extending his
Ines and had SO concentrated his forces that he
could in twenty-four hours bring sixty thousand
men to any point Of attack or defence. N 1sr ia
vorable account had been given Of the disci.
pIine of the Turkish troops and their ability TOR
active and effective service, by two French staff
officers belonging TO their army. Our London
correspondent gives some information rela
tive to this matter which will be found very
interesting The regulars are considered reliable,
der anv circumstances, ard the volunteers well
calculated to sorely harrass the enemy aud render
apy other assistance that may be required; conse-
ouenty it is predicted that the first battles will b.
won by the MussulmaDs Under these circumstan ,es,
the Only possible way OF preserving peace will be for
the Sultan to retract his notifications and accept the
stipuations originally presented by England and her
eoedjutors. This policy vas strenuousy urged b.
the neutrals and in addition it was said that Omsr
Pasha had been forbidden to commence hostilities;
Int it was doubtful whether all these efforts would be
Of any avail in face OF the clamors OF the Turkish
people fer war. The Collins steamer Baltic, which
ia abou, due at this pors will doubtless bring intel
gence that will fully enlighten concerning The
pending crisis.
