ArnAud. General Prim, General Cannon, are all at
Oonstsntinople. The Sultan pays the utmost atten-
ton TO his royal guests. The London journals are
full Of detailed accounts Of dinners, receptions,
speeches plans and projects Of these military gen.
Hemen.
The accounts from the Danube are vague. The
Russians are banging away at Silistria, but appa-
rently with little result. The Baltic is now the
chief point of attraction. The Servian government
is considerably alarmed at the concentration Of 80
large an Austrian force its frontiers as that now
assembled there. Servia is, you are aware, under
the sdzeranty of the Porte and the citadel of Bel
grade is commanded by Izzet Pasha, a Turkish
general Austria will not speak out, and Turkey as
bell Servia distrusts her. Moreover the Servians
object to the occupation of their territory by an
auxiliary Austrian force, and formal protest ha;
been drawn up be the Servian government against

An additional article is annexed to regulate under
what circumstances Austria and Prussia are to take
an offensive part in the war. II Says" An often
sive action on the part of both would however, be
first occasioned by the incorporation of the Prnci-
palitee, or through an attack or passage of the

This is very indefinite Russia is doing all she
can to get across the Balkans, and is in occupation

There are secret articles attached to this treaty
which trust to be able to send you shortly.
Russi, is now busy intriguing with the mailer
German States. A German convention is announced
to be held next month at Bamberg under the presi-
dency OF Bavaria. Its avowed object is to secure a

brother OF the King of Greece, asserts his influence
