INTERESTING ABOUT THE WAR BE-
TWEEN RUSSIA A. D TURKEY, &c
A dispatch from Vienna, Goth, not
dated from Bucharest, says that the Rus
SLAMS have taken seven Turkish ships.
idoubtful.) The Russians are lombard
ing Rtuschuck from Giurgevo. This last
is believed to be authentic.)
The two Russian frigates recently
fitted out in the English dockyards are
cruising off Madeira. The attention of
the Admiralty is drawn to the circum-
stance.
| The whole personnel of the Russian
Embassy has now left England.
They say that the Car is sick and ir-
rita BILE, and that his reply to Napoleon is
positively discourteous.
Nearly collision happened in the
Black Sea on the Sd. The squadron of
British and French steamers presently
cruising in the Black Sea met Russian
steam division under command of Ad-
mi al Corniloff. Both parties beat to
quarters, but held on their way without
saluting and without hosti,ities.
IMP0RTANT-BELIEvED TO BE TRUE
The attitude of Austria is so vascilla-
ting and questionable that if an immedi.
date categorical definition of her inten-
tons be MT given, France will form an
army of 100000 on the frontier of Italy,
and another on the northeast frontier
toward the Rhine and will send 10000
more troops 10 Rome as the nucleus of
operations an Italy itself, should Austria s
conduct force the allies to declare war
upon her.
ATHENS, 10th.-The Greek insurrec-
ton is formidable, G,O0O insurgent in
arms in Eperus, Thessalay and Macedonia.
Recruits are leaving Athens. The Greek
Government either cannot or will not
check them.
A flying rumor is to the effect that the
allied fleets will strike their decisive blow
bybombarding Sebastopol and Cronstadt
instead of opening at sea.
EASTERN WAR.
ST. PETERSBURG, l lth.-The Times says
Sir Hamilton Seymour had not yet COM
municated his recall to the Russian
Government, and his instructions to quit
the Empire had not probably vet reached
the British Minister. The Emperor
Nicholas had been suffering from erysipe-
las, and was said to be in state of great
irritation and excitement, which rendered
him inaccessible to the advice of his oldest
ministers.
The utmost activity in every depart
ment of the Government, and prepare
tons for war are made on the most ex-
tensive scale. An answer had been dis
patched to the letter addressed by Louis
Napoleon to the Emperor Nicholas, which
is framed in unsatisfactory, arrogant, and
discourteous language.
The Times Vienna correspondent tele-
graphs that the Russians lately attempted
q landing at Czernowod at the mouth of
the Danube, but were repulsed with loss.
He also reports the appearance of the
Russian manifesto ordering the levy of 9
men per 1000 between March l and
April.
The manifesto mobiles the whole army
and feet.
The Greek insurgent army in European
Turkey amounts to 5000 men.
Times Berlin Dispatch states, that the
Gar is extremely enraged at the answer
returned by Prussia. The combined
fleets are still at Eeicos. The Turkish
mission to Servia had completely failed.
The Vienna Lloyd learns from Odessa,
under date February Cd, that the Rus
slams fleet continually keeps the sea. The
first and second divisions cruise from
Kafa along the Circassian coast, and
observe Batoum. The third division left
on the Goth, in the direction of the Bull
garian coast, and, as it was thought, fol-
Varna. The Russian captains state that
for years, they have not known the
weather in the Black Sea so favorable as
at this season.
The Cologne Gazette publishes the fol.
lowing dispatch:
CoNsTANTINoPLE, February 6.-The
united fleets have saved Skefkatil from an
attack by the Russians"
The boarding parties of the Russian
fleet in the Black Sea are armed with re.
volvers-mostly Colts.
| Eighteen Turkish vessels sailed from
Constantinople 9th, for Batoum with
5000 men and large quantity of mater.
ial of war. They were accompanied by
eleFeH LuSllSu war steamers.
The health of the allied fleets is good
reports to the contrary notwithstanding.
| The instruction in Albania is not con-
sidered as of Importance by the Turkish
Government. but the Pasha of Thessally
is blamed for want of money. 1t was
intended to send more energetic men as
Pashas to the more important posts.
