this forenoon, bringing Liverpool dates Of Jan 9TH,
having experienced very heavy weather She will !
be due in Boston on Wednesday The Atlantic ar |
rived at Liverpool on the 9th and the Andes on |
the 1st
Advices from Constantinoplc and St. Petersburg |
We're contradictory, but there was little doubt that
the Car had refused the last proposition of the
tern Powers, and that general war must ensue |
tremendous snow storm, the heaviest for many |
years, had occurred throughout England, France |
and Belgium. Great floods were feared.
EASTERN AFFAIRs.-The Paris Noniteur contains I:
circular from the Minister of Foreign Affairs dated
Dec. Both, addressed all the French Legations on
the Eastern question. The document is moderate
but very firm. 1t the phases of the question
states that England, France, Austria and Russia had
solemnfy recognised the territorial integrity of the
Ottoman Empire. 1t further declares that the affair
at Snope took place in violation of all these provi
sons, Russia having declared that she desired only
territorial guarantee. Therefore, to prevent the
Ottoman territory and flag from attacks from the |
navy of Russia, the French and English fleets are
ordered TO enter the Black Sea.
The circular terminates by expressing the hope
that Russia will not expose Europe to new convu-
sons.
The papers authoritatively state that the French
Government is dissatisfied with the evasve conduct
OF Austria, and mas addressed stTonu remonstrance,
ntmatIng that any further Ission from the pro-
cecdings OF the otner powers will be regarded as
mcditated hostitcs, result by which Austria must
be prepared to abide. 1t is also iutiInated that
France will extend aid to hungary and Italy.
Paris papers report that the Gar had given orders
| for the immediate crossing of the Danube, which
forbids the pc that he VIII accept the last note of
the Western Powers.
| The latest advices from Constantinoplc express
little hope that negotiations canead to any satisfac-
tory result. The Turkish council had declared itself
! permanent. The Cabinet was harmonious. On a
recent occasion, when disturbance occurred, the
Sultan declared he would rather abdcatc than accept
assistance against his subjects.
The Russians had occupied the frontiers Of Austria
and Wallachia, from Orgiva down to Cronstadt
They also permitted to make purchases in Aus
| tran territory.
! Prince Esterhazy had not yet gone to St Peters
| burg on account of some political misunderstanding.
| Constantinople was quiet Trieste mentioned
as the place for the meeting of the proposed Con-
gress
1t was reported that the peasantry had risen along
the Danube, from kalafat to Turna, and turned out
the Russian officials.
Authentic information confirms the report that the
Porte had accepted the note of the four powers and
says it will not object under certain conditions, to
an armistice, but insists the evacuation of the
Principates and the maintenance of tho Turkish
sovereignty 1t consents to a Congress in neutral
city-to a revision Of existing treaties and will con-
slider the propriety of further ameliorations in behalf
of its Christian subjects.
The deliberations of the dvan continued for three
days, and, when then result was announced, tumuit
| arose at Constantinople mob of three thousand
persons led by the Ulcmas, assembled and declared
the constitution violated by the council. For time
a riot was apprehended and force of marines was
landed from the English and French steamers, but
proclamation was issued by the Sultan, on the 22d,
which restored quiet Several of the mob
rested and banished
Definite information relative to the action Of the
Car was daily expected. Intelligence from St. Pc
tcrsburg the 2Oth received at London states that
the Emperor had formally rejected the Vienna prot
oco and Ghc note of the 9th ins but had consented
to examine the Turkish propositions of the Goth,
without recognizing the right of European interfer
ence between Russia and Turkey.
The allied fleets had not entered the Black sea on
account Of tempcstuous weather. The instructions
to the commanders of the fleets are, that in the event
of meeting any Russian vessels of war; they WILL in
the name of their respective governments, request
the Russian commanders to return to Sebastopol,
there to await further orders from their government
On their refusal to return force will be used.
The Russian statements affect not to feel the 81 ght
est alarm about the movements of the allied squad
ron. On the contrary, they assert that when the
fleets enter the Black general outbreak will
occur in India Algeria and Greece and that Greek
Instructions will break out in Turkey every thing
Gar. -
Between the Russian and Turkish armies move
ment of importance had taken place, but skirmshes
between the outposts were of daily occurrence The
Russian dispatches state that the Turkish army in
Asia utterly disorganized, and that the troops
had killed Selim Pasha and Gen. .Guyon. These
statements not credited. The Turkish bulletins
merely acknowledge the evacuation of the Russian
territory without loss. -ssz -
The latest accounts from Persia were more salts
factory but rreconcileablc with the statement that
the Russian General Germeloff commands the Per-
sian army. A Constantinople dispatch says the
British Charge to Persia had succeeded in terminal
ing the differences between Great Britain and Persia
r The most extraordinary military activity is mani
tested all over Russia. The Gar. had got supply
of 10000, 600 rubles from the church. The London
Observer says that agents the way to purchase
ships and ammunition privately for Russia, in the
United States.
Habil Pasha is in the Turkish ministry, without a
portfolio Ria PasIa succeeds Mahmoud Pasha as
Minister to Marine. x
= EtaLAND-Much indignation was felt against
Prince Albert the public voice protesting that he is
