The Eastern question continues unchanged IN
its aspect. Below we publish the concluding por-
tion Of the Turkish Declaration of WAL which IS
said TO have been made known by omer Pasha to
The Russian commander in brief and soldier like
letter notifying him that ON the 25th inst, at lateS
the state of war would commence. The Car on
his part had declared that the war should be war
of determination. Meantime, the FIench and
English negotiutors think that their diplomacy VIII
serve 10 confine the war to the Turkish frontier,
without extending to general Europe. Austria and
Prussia declare their neutraliyln the coming strug-
gle.
TuE EASTERN QUESTION: private dispatch
states that when the Gear read the Turks declara-
ton OF war, he fell into fury, and declared that
he retracted every concession he had made, and
that nothing now remained for him but war OF
determination against the Turks.
The Turkish DeclaIation of War concludes as
follows:
stSince the cabinet of st. Petersburgh has not
been content with the assurances and pledges that
have been offered, since the benevolent efforts of
the high Powers have remained fruitleSS, since,
i'll fine, the Sublime Porte cannot tolerate or suffer
any longer the actual state OF things or the pro-
longation OF the occupation OF the Moldo w ALA
chan PrincipaliGeS, they being integral portions
of its empire-the Ottoman cabinet, with the firm
and praseworthy intention ofdefending the sacred
rights of sovereignty and the independence of its
government, will employ just Teprisals against a
violation of the treaties which II considers
belG. 1t notifies, then, officially, that the govern
ment of his Majesty the Sultan finds itself obliged
to declare war, that it has given most precise in
structions es instructions les plus cdtegdriques TO

GortSchakof the evacuation of the Prncipalitles,

teen days from the arrival of his dispatch at the
Russian headquarters, answer in the negative

at is distinctly understood that should the re-
ply of Prince Gortschakoff be negative, the Rus

the commercial relations of the respective subjects
Of the two governments shall be broken off.
eat the same time the Sublime Porte will not
consider it just to lay an embargo upon Russian
merchant vessels, as has been the practice. Con-
Sequently, they will be warned to resort either to
the Black Sea or to the Mediterranean Sea, they
shall think fit, within term that shall hereafter be
| fixed. Moreover, the Ottoman Government being
unwilling 10 place hindTances in the way of COM

Omer Pasha is stated 10 have written to the gov.
eminent offering to cross the Danube and force the
Russians from their position, If $4,000 more men
be given him. Notwithstanding this, it was con-
sidered doubtful if ostilies would commence or

esting account of the movements of the expedl
ton is from the North China Mail, of August 18th
The appearance of the steamers-the first ever
seen in japanese waters-with the other vessels in
tow, moving with all sails furled, at the rate O
nine or ten knots an hour, appeared to produce q
considerable sensation among the japanese, and
all the trading iunks, with which the bay was
crowded, carefully kept out of their way.
As the vessels were coming to anchor, two shells
or rockets were fred into the air from battery
about mile distant, but apparently as a signal,
and not as token OF hostility. Several govern.
ment boats Immediately came of and endeavored
10 put on board the usual notifications to foreigners
warning them 10 depart. They were notreceived,
however, and the Deputy Governor of Uraga, who
