have three times stormed the citadel but unable

left Cephalons and the lie of NegropOnte, which is
ore Of the chief depot Of the flhousters. On the

than in France where they have resolved to put 1t

against tie present Prince, in favor Of Miosh but the

TIE rising in Spain, at least far as Saragossa is
concerned has been easily suppressed, bu. il re-

by general outbreak, since Spain revolutonized

Austria has declared that she is ready to occupy any
province of Turkey, Of in the interest OF the
sultan but not to fight the Russians As to the En-
glish and French MIR. Urquhart openly declares they
will not fight the Russians and indeed it seems If the
preparations for all over the Continent were to
maintain Turkish independence only by partitioning the
country do not mean to say that such is already the
plan Of tie English Government since il is well known
that the Ministry has plan whatever, but is drifting,
always drifting having lost the command of the ship of
state and being unable to take the latitude and long

Russia the Cabinet of all the talents is supporting
Austria and all the shaky thrones of Europe but in

Until row, at best, she has fully succeeded. Though
the English ambassador at ST. Petersburg has been sent
away by the Gar before he asked for his pass
ports, England has granted time for

will be till after the last formal refusal of the Car
to accept the conditions proposed by England and
France, which may arrive by the 18th inst, that war
will be declared, unless the Car declares it.
