The EVACUATION OF THE PRrNCIPALI-

The intelligence which reached us yesterday Of
the consent OF the Emperor Of Russia to evacuate
the Turkish territories ON the demand Of Austria,
Wallachia, Giurgevo, and Silistria, to the other
side Of the Pruth, brings the Allied Powers to

that in attempting TO conciate the German powers,
the object Of the Emperor Nicholas Ia only to carry
on the war against the Western powers with greater
activity, and perhaps eventually to engage Austria
