RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

The News front Constantinople is-—that the proclamation of war against Russia by the Sultan has been affixed to the chief mosques of the capital, but actual hostilities were to be delayed until sufiicieut time had elapsed to allow a messenger to reach St. Petcrsburgh with a summons to the Empe- ror to evacuate the principalities.—This would occupy an interval variously compu- ted from eleven to fifteen days, at the ex- piration of which period Omer Pasha would commence hostilities, without, however, as they say, meditating the passage of the Daunde.

The Czar plainly induces upon a Protec- torate, to which he has not the shadow of it title; the Ports refuses to concede any ground whatever, whereupon the Czar can either now, or hereafter, build up hopes for the eventual acquisition of a power over Ottoman subjects, or of territorial aggran- dizement; and the Western Powers, as we were sure they would all along, are reso- lute in supporting the Sultan in his resis- tance with the whole weight of their united

or.

Three Cabinet Councils have been held at Downing-street since our last, and not a doubt exists but that Ministers are unan- imous in the decided policy they have now coucerte . t was even reported that six regiments in Ireland had received orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark for the Mediterranean from Cork.—This is no doubt premature, but the whole naval and military strength of Great Britain and France will be put forth to check the pro- gress of the Czar. The Island of Candie has been named as likely to be the rendez- vous of the Anglo-French army.

Up to the present moment, however, no actual steps have been taken to despatch a military force to the Levant, but all kinds of speculations are hazarded as to the points where such an army might best harass or obstruct the progress of the Russians. In the meantime the Russians are pourin an immense body of troops into the Princi- palities. Prince Mcnschikofi‘ has been ap- pointed to superintend the government of these Provinces, and this appointment is completely in character with all the offen- sive proceedings of Russia since the spring. After a brief visit of the ing of Prussia to Warsa\v,the Emperor of Russia has return- ed the visit, and remained a few days at Potsdam. He left this place on the 9th inst., and returned to St. Petersburgh by the Ostbahn to Stettin and Konigeburgh. The public are left quite in the dark re- pecting what may have passed at these interviews. v

A resolution of the House of Commons, declaratory of the intention of England to maintain the status quo of Europe, would have spared all the present turmoil. We do not credit the reported no ociations said to be carried on ut‘Constantinople, throu h M. Argyropuolo, the first drngoman ofthe Russian Embassy, and it is still less likely that the Turks would listen to any over- tures from that quarter. ‘ U to the latest dates the French and'English fleets were at Besika Bay, but the general im ression is, that they have now enlcre t e ar- danelles, oitders to that effect having been sent on the 527th ult. The army of Omar Pasha is described still to be in a hi h state of discipline,—i-eady for action,—w ilst the concurrent reports make us believe that the Russians are suffering [greatly from cholera and disease. The ulte dc Ne- mours has visited both armies as an amaleur. He is travelling underthe name of Samblon, with an ollicer of great talents named De Roillez. The finances at Constantinople are described as utterly exhausted; how- ever, it should be remembered that the Turks have no national debt, but they are printing paper money as fast as they can.

At resent there is not even a leam of hope t at war can be averted; peop a, how- ever, cannot believe yet, but that, at the last moment, some adjustment ofthe dispute may be brou ht about. We feel ver sure that the Tur s will not yield, and w ether the Czar’s pride will allow him to recede remains to be seen.

We learn this week of int ortant move- ments in Central Asia. The crsians have taken Horst, and it is said they dream of conquering Bngdad, in the Turkish domi- nlons, which we cannot credit. The Per- sian monarchy would soon cease to exist if the present Shah indulges in his luetnf aggression. We also learn that the Rus- sian Governor of Orenburg has captured a fort which opens the_pasaege of the riser Sir Deria (the Jaxartes of the ancients.) The Titan says that this is the road to

. Khiva.

The telegraph announces the arrival of the India mail at Trieste. The dates are not given. But we are told that the Ameri- can squadron, under Commodore Perry, reached Japan on the 8th ofJuly, and left on the l'l\lt. It was well received, but the opening of Japan was post oned till the .9;-in‘ of 1864. The rebel ion in China

continued to progress, and Peltin was ex- pected to fall soon, and with it the Mnncbow dynasty. The accounts from Ava are un- satisfector . _

The 'Breslauer Zoitung is informed that desertions are very frequent in the Russian Army in the principalities, even amongst the ofiicers; that sickness is on the in- crease tbere, particularly rcmittaut fevers. The number of sick is stated at 10,000, which doubtless, as well as the previous statement, is exa gerat ; there were, however, no less than men lying in the hospitals of Bucharest Clone‘

It has already been stated that more than 300 Poles have inscribed their names at the the Turkish embassy, and offered their services to the Ports in the event ofu war with Russia. The Press now publishes a letter addressed to Reschid Pasha by M. Christian Ortrowski, and written in the name of his felldw countrymen, repeating this offer to the Turkish Minister of Foreign

ffairs.

DISCOVERY OF THE NORTTIWEST PASSAGE

The despatches of Captain lngeficld, who quitted this country last May, on his second Polar Expedition, have been published in the London papers. From these, and from the information communicated by apt. Cresswell, an ofiicer attached to Captain M‘Clure’s ship, the Investigator, but who has returned in the Phmnix, we learn the gratifying tidings, that the northwest pas- sage has been virtually accomplished, the interval of I70 miles, which alone separa- ted tho two expeditions, bcin crossed on foot by the hardy explorers. t was confi- dently expected, however, that this winter the whole distance would be accomplished by water. There are still no traces of Franklin, and we regret to learn that the brave Frenchman, Lieutenant Bellot, has been drowned. be following passages from the desputches will be read with in- terest:— isnururo or coausaxuila itr'ci.vuu raoss 1-iiu nasr AND usur.

The first meeting of Lieut. Bedford Pim with the party from the Investigator is thus described in a private letter from Captain Kellet, C. B., dated “Her Majeety’s ehip Resolute, Melville Island, April l9th. 1858" :—

"This is really a red-letter day in our voyage, and shall be kept as a holiday by our heirs and suc- cessors for ever. At nine o'clock of this day, our look-out man made the signal for a party coming in from the westward ; all went out to meet them and assist them in A second party was then seen. Dr. Dcmville was the tint personl met. I.cannct de- scribe my feelings when he told me that Captain M‘Clure was among the next party. 16... not long in reaching him. and giving him merry hearty shakes —no purer were ever given by two men in thu wer . M‘Clure locks wall, but is very hungry. Hi des- cription of Pim'e making the Harbour of Mercy would have been a line subject for the pen of Capt. Marryatt, were be alive.

“ M‘ClIre and his first lieutenant were walking on the line. Seeing a person coming very fast towards them they sup need he was chased by a bear, or had seen a beer. allied towards him ; on getting on- wards a hundred yards, they could see from his pro- portions that he was not one of them. Hm began to screech and throw up his hands (his face was as black as my bet); this brought the captain and lieutenant to a stand. as they could not bear entici-

ently to make out his len uage. , "At le Pim rescIied the party, quite beside himself, and stammered out, on ‘Clure's asking _

‘ Who are you and where do you come from I'- Lieatenant Pim, erald. Captain Ksllett.’ This was the more inexplicable to M‘Cltire, .e_e I was the last person he shook hands with in Behriag's Straits. He at len h found that this solitary stranger was a true Eng ishman—un angel of lights he says:—' He soon was seen from the ship; theiyhad only one hatch- _way open, and the crew were airly _yam_iited there in the r endeavour to get up. The sick jumped out of their hammocks, and the crew forget their des- pcndency : in fact. all was changed on boerd the In-

" Another party of seven men were to have gone by M'Kenuis, with a request to the Admiralty to send out a ship to meet at Point Leopold, in I854. The thirty men are on eir way over to me now. I shall, if possible, send them on to Beechy Island, with about ten men of my own crew, to be taken home the first opportunity.

“ Should the ice break up in this bay, euficiently early to permit of our getting through the Straits this season, and flndiog the water open to the eastward of Leopold Island, it would be my object to push forward, without sto ing to take on heard any provisions from Part Leopolll’; but if, on the contrary, the ice should be thick towards Lancaster Sound, I would. if possible,

If, however, we are detained in this boy unti next year, it will on be uislie to leave towards the end of April, and make for Port Leopold, where I am aware that there is a good boat. a house, and ample lllp lies ; and when the navigable season opens, proceed) to Pond's Bay, coasting along the south shore of Berrow’s Straits. Arriving at Pond's Bay, and (hiding from the Be uimaux that no whelers have its yet been there, I s uld there wait their appearance as long as uty provisions won it, and than go down the west shore of Bafln’I Bey. keeping close al the land Ice, where whslere or their hosts are a most certain of being utet with. Failing this, I should cross to Disco. with the hope of getting a go in some of the Danish vessels which come there annually, and leave about the be iani of Sept. ; or, being too late for them, either c rter or rcltese one of their coasting soltoensre, which believe are made a t

As. however, it may occur (as was the case with Sir John Iloes) that the ice may not break up in Prince Re ent'e Inlet during the whole summer, it is as w I to rovide against such a contingency.

DEATH 0|’ H. IILLOT.

The following is an extract from Capt. Inglefield’s official report :—

" While Ibus employed (20th Au net), I received, by an oflicial letter front Captain ullen. a copy of which I enclose, marked, ‘ L I, ’ a re rt ofthe me- lancholy intelligence of the death of . Ballot, who had been sent by Ca in Pullen on his return dur- ing ray absence to acquaint me of the same, and to curiy on the original despetches to Sir Iklwaid Bel- . This unfortunate occurrence took place on the night of the gals, when M. Bellot, with two nisn, were driven: elf from the shore on a doe ; and shortly after, while reconnoitering from the top of a huin- mock, he was blown off by a violent gust of wind into a deep crack in the ice, and perished by drown- ing. 'l‘he two men were sev y a coiviparetive miracle, and after driviu about for thirty‘ hours without food, were enabl to land and rejoin their fellow-travellers, who gave them provisions, and then all returned to the ship, bringing back in safety the despatches; but three of them lit subjects only for invaliding.

The ship Annie Jane, front Glasgow, with passengers for Quebec, was wrecked at Berra Head on the 29th ch. 100 were swept away by a single sea which struck the ship. From 350 to "400 lives were lost. The survivors were a total onl of l09—one of whom wase child, is: wdmen, and as of the crew.

Captain ‘Munro and wife of Quebec, were lost.

The emigrants were mixed English, Irish and Scotch. A hundred house carpenters and join- ers from Glasgow were of the number-—fresh. able young men : all of them have perished.

Lord Pslraerstcn hss interfered for the liberati- on of thirty Irish girls who were seduced from Belfast, by an agent named Steele, to work in a factory near Louvaine, in Belgium, where they were most cruelly treated.

A Gslway paper of Wednesday says: " There seems still to be no ohork to the fearful tide of emigration which is depopulatiug this unfortunate country."

The Revenue Quarterly Returns just published, exhibit a large increase, notwithstanding the ex- tensive abolition of duties and reductions of taxa- tioo which have recently taken place. The increase for the year extends to all sources of ordinar revenue, except the items under the head ‘ Mis- celleneoos;’ these have door to the extent of £ll0,033. whilo the other sources have in- creased £1,660,897 during the twelve months. For the quarter the only articles of revenue which exhibit a dtcresse are the ,Poet0tIice and taxes.
