RUSSIA AND TURKEY
LONDON, August 13.-Despatches from St. Peters

An extraordinary ambassador was 10 leave Con-
stannope for St. Petersburg with the Sutans decision

quence of the refusal of the Hospodars of Moldavia
and Walacha to obey the summons of the Porte to

indignant that fears entertained for the safety

There is little nothing add TO the last ad-

received at Paris from Vienna, announcing the ac-
ceptance by the Dvan of the Austrian proposals, and
that they will be accepted by the Porte, but the
ment that they have already been accepted is prema-
tuIe.
Vienna letters of the 9th state that the Cars readi-
ness to receive the ambassador of the Sultan is the

so much noise.

thus enabled early as July 28th, or perhaps 9th

is therefore reason 10 suppose that the Cars accep
