The Austrian troops were mov ing towards the Turkish territory. A difficulty had occurred at Smyrna between the Captain of the United States frigate St. Louis and the Austrian Consul, growing out of the arrest of Costa, the Kossuth emissary.

Messelrode had issued a circular more menac ing than the last, saying that Russia occupies the principalities because French and English fleets had been sent to the Dardanelles, and intimates that Russia will refuse conciliation uutil those fleets are withdrawn. He expresses, however his willingness to evacuate the principalities when his demands are fully complied with. This has opened the eyes of Wesrern Europe, and public opinion demands a decisive settle ment of the question. It was believed that Russia was only attempt ing to gain time to render her position impreg nable. Despatches announcing a pacific tendency of affairs generally, was regarded as simply ridic ulous.

The Captain also states that most of the peo • pie of St. John’s Island, Cape Breton and Gulf of Canso, who formerly petitioned for official vessels to drive off the American fishermen, are now signing petitions to have the restrictions removed, as presence of American 1 fishermen brought considerable business to these i points, whilst now they will soon be in a starv . ing condition, and obliged to call upon the Gov ernment for pecuniary aid.

Turkey and Russia.— The intelligence from j the East is decidedly warlike, though, notwith standing the threatening aspect of affairs, there, are some who hope for peace. A despatch to the London Times, dated Vienna, July 6th, states, that the Russians had crossed the river Pruth at two points lor the purpose of occupying the principalities of Wailachia and Moldavia. ~ A protracted cabinet council was held at Lon don on the 2d instant, at which it was said to be decided that the French and English fleets were j to enter the Dardanelles as a counter move to the ; hostile demonstration of the Russians. It was thought, however, that negotiations would con- i tinue even after the occupation by Russia of the principalities. The report in London on the 2d, that the Rus- | sians had entered Jassy had caused a panic in j the London Stock Exchange. The rumor was denied by the Austrian Minister on the 4th, but was still believed, owing to the fact that the Paris Moniteur had announced the receipt of an official despatch from St. Petersburg decreeing the occupation of the Danubian provinces. The warlike preparations of Turkey are con tinued on the most extensive scale. The un furling of the Sacred Banner of Mahomet will be the signal for the rising of the Mahommedan ; tribes from the Red Sea to the Caspian. At the j ! Arsenal of Constantinople 44 vessels were being | armed, and the militia of Constantinople had . been ordered out. The Prince ofServia had offer- j ed to place 45,000 men at the disposal of the Sul- I tan, and a similar force was being raised in Al- j bariia. It was stated that the occupation of [ , Moldavia by Russia had caused Austria to unite j cordially with France and England. Prussia j maintains her neutrality. Count Gayluse was to leave Vienna on a spe- | cial mission to St. Petersburg in regard to the Turkish question. The Emperor of Russia had issued a manifesto on the 26th of June, denying that he wishes war, j and throwing the whole blame if one comes i upon the Ottoman Empire. Markets. Liverpool , July 6.—Wright & Gandy say that | i there has been much excitement in the market | for Breadstuff's, and prices have advanced on ali j descriptions since the Arabia.

The report that the Russians had crossed the Pruth is confirmed. The rumored entry of the Russians into Jessy, is false. The Emperor, however, had issued a decree declaring his intention to occupy the provinces. Russia —The following extraordinary and highly important Russian manifesto reached London on the sth. Manifesto. —“By the Grace of God, we, j Nicholas 1.. Emperor and Autocrat ot all the i Russias, Czar of Poland, &c., &c., inform all j people: “Be it known to our beloved faithful subjects— the defence of our faith has always been a sa cred duty of our blessed ancestors, tiom the day it pleased the Almighty Fathers for the mainte nance of our holy obligations with which it is inseparably connected, has been the object of our constant care and attention. There, acting on the ground-work of the famous treaty of ] Kain.adjii. which subsequent solemn treaties; with the Ottoman Porte fully confirmed, have been directed toward upholding the right of our church. ■' But to our extreme grief in latter times, not withstanding all our efforts to defeat the inviola bility of the rights and privileges ot our orthodox church, the numerous and wilful acts of the Ot toman Porte have inlringed upon these rights, and threaten finally the entire overthrow of all that ancient discipline so precious to the ortho- j doxy. “All our efforts to restrain the Porte from such act have proved vain, and even the word of the Sultan, solemnly given us by himself, is soon faithlessly broken. Having exhausted all the means of conviction—having in vain tried all the means by which just claims can be peaceably adjusted,we have deemed it indispensable to move our armies into the provinces on the Danube, in order that the Porte may see to what his stub borness may lead. But even now we have no intention of commencing war. In occupying those provinces, we will hold a sufficient pledge and guarantee for ourselves for the re-establish ment of our rights, under any circumstances whatever. “Conquests we do not seek for. Russia does not require them. We seek to vindicate those rights which have been so openly violated. We are even yet ready to stop the movements of our army if the Ottoman Porte will bind itself sol emnly to respect the inviolability of the Ortho dox Church; but if obstinacy and blindness will it otherwise, then, calling God to our aid, we leave it to him to decide the quarrel, and in the full confidence in the right hand ofthe Almighty j we move forward on behalf of the Ortho-j dox faith. “My success would render the Government i more popular than at present with the Musco- ' vite paity, wfcich is not now attached to the < former by any good will. “Given at PeterhofFs twenty-sixth day ot June, ; in the year of the birth ot Christ, 1853, and our i reign the twenty-eighth. “ Sealed at Senate, St. Petersburg, the twenty- < sixth of June, 1853. “Signed,”. Nikolai.” The latest telegraphic despatch, dated Vienna, ■ July sth, slates that the Pruth was passed by the Russians at Devva, by a corps destined for the occupation of Walachia, and at Skouliany < by a corps which was to invade Moldavia. , Gen. Gortsehakoff was to arrive at Bucharest on the sixth. Peaceful Appearances. —A letter from St. Petersburg, dated June 15th, says : “To judge by.the aspect of society here, there can be but little intension of involving the State in war at ! the presen"inoment. It is true it is far enough from here o the Danubian principalities for our j troops to :>ave passed the frontier, and we to be living here in blissful ignorance of the fact. A number of high officials have received leave of absence, >u pursuit of health and pleasure, and every thi qg at court betokens profound peace. There is JS least an absence of war and war’s alamrs, J Bm t’u qld Russian party is working away be neath the surface, and is endeavoring to work up an inter- M for the orthodox faith in Turkey. It is this patty—the old Russian—the Sclavonia. properly speaking—that Prince Mdnschikoff leads, a- Count Nesselrod, the so-called German ' party.” i Tuß’ —Letters from Constantinople, under ; date of June 2d. says :—ln a month more the ! Porte will be able to have on foot 250 000 men. M. Deßruck, of Austria, is actively engaged in j the work of conciliation, and is endeavoring to have hi- government as mediator. There are extensive movements in operation among the English and French. Every day the discharge of cannon announces some new arrival. The Snglish steamer Retribution left this morningato take up a position with the Turkish fleet at Jie mouth of the Black Sea, and two i Adm ra*are momentarily expected. Important intelligence has been received from i Servia which states that the Prince offers 45,000 men—of whom 15.000 are for the protection ot the fortress of Belgrade, and 30,000 for that of i the frontiers of the principality. I Gold is being coined in great abundance at the ; Mints in Turkey, and four machines are at woik j day and night. Four are being fitted out for immediate l service at the arsenal. i The Redifs of Constantinople have received i orders to muster. Sanitary intendance has been abolished at quarantine. The English Ambassador received a dispatch | on Friday, the 17th inst., brought by hand, and on the following day a courier left, j The Journal at Constantinople opines that I should a collision occur, Admiral Dundas would I have chief command ofthe fleet,and some French I General any troops which might be landed. The correspondent of the Trieste Zeitung j writes that the Turkish fleet in the Black Sea | numbers 1,000 guns, and the Russian fleet in the ! same sea 1,500. According to the Turkish accounts 40,000 vol icnteers have already reported themselves.

The following further and fuller accounts are j forwarded you, being such as thelightning on the line prevented being got through last night : Great Britain. —A conversation came on in the House of Lords between-Lords Brougham, | Gray, Clarendon, Derby and Clauricarue, upon a request to the latter to postpone his motion for j information respecting the state of the Tuikish | difficulty. It was on ail hands agreed that the 1 discussion of the subject in its present critical VOL. 32 -NEW SERIES - -VOL -8 - NO. 24. condition would be injurious to the settlement, i The motion was consequently postponed. Lord i Clarendon, for the Government, said, unfortu nately, they could not say that negotiations had , arrived at that point that would render discussion i comparatively unimportant, but would say that ; negotiations were going on, and they most earn estly hoped that there might be a peaceful solu- i tion ofthe question. < The Earl of Clarendon further admitted that the Czar’s Manifesto,dated Peterhoff, June 26th, i was genuine. In the Commons Mr. Layard’s motion, on the ] same subject, was crowded out, but he insisted i on bringing it forward on Monday, the 11th. _ 1 Lord Palmerston explained, that the Russian Government had been repeatedly applied to, to < keep clear the Sulina channel of the Danube, but i had always evaded. Lord Palmerston, however, i himself evaded replying to the question whether, < in the event of hostilities with Russia, a force would be sent to pretect the numerous grain- < laden British ships now agroundin the Dan- ' uhe. 1 In answer to Mr. Hume, the Chancellor ofthe Exchequer stated that a measure had been pre- i pared by Government on the subject of a six penny ocean postage, hut sufficient time had not elapsed to obtain the views of remote colonies on the subject. The English Ministry being violently, and about equally divided on the Turkish question, was the cause of Lord Aberdeen’s retirement being rumored. The London Morning Herald, of the 6th, ad ded, that “ the disagreement which almost 1 amounted to a break up of the Cabinet, has been patched up. and things go on as usual now.’’ An agreement likely to be blasteifrat any mo ment. R. Hobbs, in three minutes, picked the pre mium lock which had been awarded a prize of 1 £lO from the Society of Arts, Mr. Chubb, the celebrated locksmith, presiding.

Queen Victoria would visit Dublin on Tuesday the 12th July, and remain until the 16th. Daniel O'Connell has been elected member of Parliament for Tarlee. France. —Os the several arrests at the Opera Comique in Paris on the night of the sth, of persons who were found to have weapons se creted upon them, the official police records merely say that there were ten or twelve mem bers of old secret societies who were disturbing order in the crowd. The arrests were magnified by the stock brokers into an attempt on the Enr.peror’s life, and affected the Bourse. Some maintained that the Emperor was really me naced. The French government has drawn up a note in reply to Nesselrode’s Russian note. It bears the signature Drouyd del Huvs—is firm and temperate. It asserts that France has equal claims to assert the pretectorate over the Latin charch in the East as Russia has over the Greek church, and hopes that Russia will adjust its claims without trespassing on the rights of Tur key. The note is ably drawn up. The duty of two trancs per ton on French ves sels leaving French ports, is abolished. The bill regulating the various ecclesiastical communities of Holland has just been laid before the Second Chamber. In the preamble the Government declared that the bill has in view the maintaining of equal rights and equal pro tection for all religions, the guaranteeing of the liberty of internal organization, subject to the rights of thagovernment to demand guarantees for the preservation and on'-. ; and ' the guarding of society from any prejudice which 1 may spring from the free professing of any form ! of worship.

The Neapolitans are much afraid that war in the East will awaken a new revolution in Italy. Germany. —The Zollverein Conference had not opened, the delegates not having all arrived at Berlin. Austria. —The Emperor of Austria has abol ished the taxes paid by the clergy in those parts ot his dominions where the majority of the in habitants belong to the Greek Church. The object of this remission at the present moment is too obvious to need pointing out. The Aus trian Government has made representations to that of Russia to obtain the discontinuance of the expressionßusso-Greek” Church in pub lic documents relative to the Eastern question. The Emperor of Austria has three million sub jects professing the Greek religion. The Countess Blanche Teleky has been sen tenced to ten years’ imprisonment for commu nicating with the patriots abroad. Her gov erness was also in prison, and her female attend ants had been sentenced to thirteen months’ im prisonment as accomplices.
