The Paris eOrre.pOndsu, Of a. london Time. writing

on Tuesday evening, saws
Acabinet courier arrived here this morning from St.
Petersburg with dispatches from NJ. de Kisele1. These
dispatches, which are of the Srd, are said TO confirm the
Geographic message Published In the Ikoaiienr with ref
erence 20 the Emperor of Russias acceptance Of the vi.
cuna note. His assent was given on the end. As ia al
ways the case on such occasions, a good many reports are
current OF the details commun icated to VI. dc Kisselef.
but beyond the fact Of the general confirmation Of the
important intelligence you are already In possession of
little Is known with anything like certainty. The mom.ntn 4
was sscertained at Vienna that the Car had consented
to accept the proposition Of the Powers, a message was
despatched to Constantinople, urging the Divsn to lose
no time in sending an Ambassador TO st. Petersburg, and
there can be no doubt that the strouges, recommendations
were added to repress INSTRUMENTATION among the army.
and TO prevent anything like disturbances among the pop.
ulation. The note OF the Powers does not. as / have al.
ready mentioned, make any direct reference 10 the eyacu-
that point the circular of NJ. de Nesselrode had already
gwen sufficient assurances, Tor IL the Emperor of Russia
II satisfied with the arrangement proposed to him, there Is
no necessity for a continued occupation.
1t is not considered probable that the Russians will re-
ceive the order to retire until the Turkish Ambassador
shai nave arrived. IL is doubted, however. whether that
oruer VIII DC gwen simultaneously with the arrival of the
Ambassador, or whether some days will be allowed to
elapse; but the opinion here is, supposing no new and un.
pleasant incidents to occur, that the Russian troops will
retire before the fleets quit Besik4 Bsy. Without being
IN any degree an a!armisL l still believe that the most i'm.
portant step of all-the one, indeed, which will really put
10 me test the good faith OF Russia-has yet to be taken;
and l repeat that If the Danubian provinces are not evac.
uated, and evacuated without any DELAY, no one has a right
10 say that the danger Is over. II | may Judge by what
" Sau uefco y parties who must be well acquainted with
,ne pohc! OF the Court of ST. Petersburg, l have little
doubt on my mind that any disturbance at Constantinopls
any outrages offered to the Christian population in any
part OF the Ottoman Empire, any real or pretended demon
strahon, would be eagerly caught at to maintain the oc.
cupation OF Moldsyis and Walachia.

ENGLISH CROPS.
The hne weather which has prevailed during the last
eight or ten days, the glorious sunshine which we have
mad Tor riPening the products Of the earth, aud the belief
mat peace will be preserved in the East, are all telling on
the corn markets of the United Kingdom. At Mark Lape.
on Monday, the decline was three shilHngs per quarter.
aud subsequent events have sill further cheapened the
stall Of life.
Nevertheless, there seems to be a general agreement
amongst all persons who have written or spoken on the
subject, that, under the most favorable circumstances. the
harvest OF the present year will be defcient-thc least
productive we have had for a long period. This is so &c.
nerally admitted, and coinci lea with the views of person.
IA Other respects most dissimilir in opinion, that We have
no alternative bus to believe it-subject. however. to the
change which the next few weeks may produce Oh the &C.
real crops of the United Kingdom.
