The ministerial changes I alluded to in my last
communication have been carried out, and just as
predicted. The Duke of Newcastle is Minister o.
War; resigning the colonies, which are entrusted to
Sir G. Grey. Lord John Russell becomes President
of the Council from which Lord Granville retircs.
Lord Granville accepts the Chaacellorship Of the
Duchy Of Lancaster, IN the roon Of Mr. Strut, who
retires. 1t is reported that Palmerston declined
serving as War Minister under Aberdeen. do not
however, believe that it was officially offered to him
Lord John Russells elevation to the Presidency, me-
cesstates his reelection. He has issued his address
to the electors of London, and has found an oppo
nent in David Urquhart, who has issued violent
address, accusing the government Of corruption and
cows,dice and connivance with Russia. The elcc.
tion takes place tomorrow, and Lord John will.
doubtless, be reelected In his address, Lord John
observes =" The ministers of her Majesty are en-
gagged in great struggle. great military power
eDdeavors to frighten Europe, and pretends to an
nul the verdict Of the civilized world. We wish an
honorable, solid and durable peace. Penetrated
with the necessity Of carrying on the war until that
peace Is established solicit the honor of your sup
port and the continuance of that confidence, which
am proud in having enjoyed for thirteen years."
The King of Prussia has returned to Berlin from
his interview with the Emperor Of Austria, at
Teschen. Both monarchs were attended by their
foreign minister's Count Thun, the Austrian envoy
at Berlin, and Count Alvensleben, the Prussian
Minister at Vienna were also present. What passed
between the sovereigns has not transpired 1t will
take some time to ooze out. The Gar was not
represented there, nor was he there incognito, as
some persons expected. The result of this confer
ence is said to be favorable to the Western Powers
and the first fruit thereof will be- it is said, the mis-
sion of Gen. Monteufel, aide-decamp of the King Of
Prussia, to st. Petersburg He will be the bearer OF
a note from the Prussian government supporting
the summons recently addressed by Austria to Rus
sa to evacuate the Principalities.
At the same time we learn that the Russians are
actually leaving the Principaities, and the head
quarters Of Prince Paskiewitsch are being removed
from Bucharest the capital of wallachia to Jassy,
the capital of Moldavia. This sudden retrograde
movement is regarded in some quarters as reply to
monstaton against this power. The advance Of
the allied troops, and the necessity Of concentration,
is probably the real key to the movement. Aban-
doning her line of battle along the Danube, from
opposite Kalefat to the sea, Russia now forms q
perpendicular line from Silistria to Jassy in Mol
davia.
Tie siege Of Silistria still continued on the 9th,
without any great event. It is true there is re.

port of Helsingfors. Some shots have been ex.
