sian operations. Anapa had not been captured.
The Austrian Correspondent states that the meet
ing of the Austrian and Prussian monarchs far
nishes another proof that the interests of Germany
and Europe will be cared for in the war now waged
by Russia against Turkey. This article is more anti
Russian than anything that has yet appeared in the
ministerial organ.
The Vienna correspondent of the London Chr0ni-
Gle says, the result of the interview satisfactory
and perfectly consistent with the avowed policy.
No diplomatic note resulted therefrom. The policy
of the minor German States formed the chief object
of discussion.

4ria made sally, destroyed the approaches vi the

The correspondent of the London Chronicle tele
uaphs report that some English vessels on BcAh-
stab, in Finland, demanded the gun boats baiAdAng
there. They were refused entrance into the h,rhor
They took or destroyed the gun boats and large
number of merchant ships, and fired the wharf.

Vmount Of 100000 silver rubles were destroyed
