battle =" which has just come of, in which
"the Turks were defeated" Gu" next
news Of that business will probably come
from Constantinopc. 1t does seem posi-
bic, however, to make out in vague sort
of way, through The haze Of laundering or
fraudulent kilograms, that the war in Crete
Is not over; and, also, that its continuance,
and the excitement in Greece consequent
upon it, are drawing the uneasy attention
of Europe towards the East. 1t Is already
known that Russia has been concentrating
largo forces along her southern frontier :;
and We ere now informed by some of the
same shcafs of kilograms printed yesterday
that q Berlin journal, semi-ofiicial," af-
firms the intention Of Austria TO make
war upon Turkey. Austria, since she
has been showed out of Germany,
has been always exhorted that her
true mission and destiny are to ex-
pand eastward: that is, at the expense
of Turhcy-a project which would ccr-
tainly, the moment she seeks to carry 1t
out, bring her into collision with Russia !;
and to bring about this collision by any
means is the present design of the Court
of Berlin. Also, another telegram, picked
out of the same bundle, tells us that Italy
has demanded an indemnity from Turkey
for firing into All Italian steamer. Another
amazing announcement, in the same pre-
cious bundle, is that Berlin newspaper
publishes proclamation establishing the
province of Poland in its rights under
the Russian Crown" This sounds like
absolute nonsense, and probably is so; yet
the numbers of such notices about the
concerns of Eastern Europe now flying
abroad upon all wires indicate an anxious
expectation or apprehension Of something
which is to hcfall in that direction. But
the cable tells Us as little as possible.
EsCoBED0 has not been hanged in Mexico,
by order of CANALEs; nor has CANALES
been hanged by order of EscoBEDo 4;
though they were both hanged, each by
the other, we cannot see what difference
it would make. Whether the Emperor
MAxIMIIIAN has been arrested as he was
about to abScond, and his trunk searched
for papers, is point on which we await fur
