General Intelligence. terrible snow
storm had prevailed throughout Great
Britain, France and Belgium; the roads
were blocked up, and the mails stopped
for ten days, and It was feared disas-
trous floods would ensue, when the
snow melted.
The Russo Turkish affairs are more
complicated than ever, and it was gen.
orally conceded that general European
war would certainly take place.
The winter in the north of Europe is
very severe. The Baltic sea is packed
with floating ice.
1t was reported that another duel be-
tween Lord Howden and Mr.. Soule was
to take place, but has been deferred on |
account of Sickness in the family Of the
former.
The Paris Moniteur contains circu-
lar Of the French Minister of Foreign |
Affairs, addressed to all the French le-
cations on the Eastern Question. The
document is moderate, but firm. 1t
commences by narrating the various
phases of the Turkish question, and de-
clares that France, England, Austria
and Prussia, had solemnly recognized
the territorial integrity of the Ottoman
Empire, and Of the Pacha, and that the
affair at Sinope took place against all
these provisions, and Russia having de-
clared she only desires material guar
antee. Therefore, to prevent the Otto
man territory and flags from further at
tacks from the navy of Russia, the
French and English fleets have been or
dered to enter the Black sea. The cir
cular terminates by expressing hope |
that Russia will not expose Europe to
new commissions.
The same paper states automatically |
that the French government is dissatis-
fed with the eyasive conduct of Aus
tria, and had addressed strong letter
of remonstrance, intimating that fur
ther concessions must be made, or hos
tilities will be the result, which Austria
must be prepared to abide, and that
France will extend aid to Hungary and
Italy.
The Paris papers report that the Czar
had given orders that immediate pre-
parations be made for crossing the Dan
ube, which forbids the hope Of his last
acceptance of the last note, and the la
test advices from Constantinople give
but little hope that anything can be done
by diplomacy.
The Turkish council had declared it
self permanent and the cabinet harmo-
nious; and the Sultan had declared to
the French ambassador that he would
rather abdicate than accept assistance
against his subjects.
The Russians had been permitted to
occupy the frontiers of Austrian Walla-
CHA, and to make purchases within the
Austrian territories.
Constantinople was quiet.
Trieste is named as a neutral place,
where the four powers shall meet to car
ry on their negotiations.
Recent intelligence from Constantine
pie, confirms the report that the Porte
had accepted the note presented by the
four powers, stating it had no objections,
on. certain conditions to grant an armis-
tice, but insisted upon the evacuation of
the principalities and the maintenance of
the Turkish sovereignty; he also con-
sented to congress in neutral city, to
revise existing treaties, and consider the
propriety of the amelioration of the
members Of the Greek church, IN his
Empire.
The deliberations were continued in
the Divan three days, and when the re-
suit was known, a tumult arose in Con-
stantinople, and a mob of three hun
dred, led by the Ulmans, who assem-
bled, and declared the constitution yio-
lated by the Divan, and for time II
OF was apprehended, and a detachment
of marines from the French and Eng
ish steamers was called to Constantine
pie, and a proclamation issued by the
Sultan, which restored quiet. Several
Of the mob were arrested and punished.
