Lowpox Orrice or TuE Cnicado Tninuwe, Bavapury 8tarer, W. O, June 106,—A woll- informed correspondent sends by rail n ‘budgot of gossip and news from Cen tanti- nople, which gives an interesting insight in- to the present condition and foclings of tho Turks. Ho says it is by no means certain that treachery hns not a good deal to do with the bad performance of the Turkish army in Asia. RUSSIAN MONEY hes for many years dono its work in misera- ble Turkey, snd prevented many s good schome from being carried out, and those who have tarriod nt Erzeroum :declare that they can only account for the very inefficient fortifications and proparations, ‘and for the same want of care at Ardahan, by the fact that for a long time past Russian gold has boen employed to prevent officient defonsein Loth places. Moro than this, they openly assert that many of the Turkish officersin tho field have been heavily bribed by Rus- sis. At Constantinople ‘THINGS ARE BTILL WORAEL, " It i stated that hero both Mahmoud Damad and Redif havo been bought by the Musco- vites, and that they will receive o large sum on the conclusion of a peace whichgives ad- vantages and possessions to Ruseia, Rus- sian wfluenco has had much more to do with Turkey's troubles than is genmerally sup. posed. Bome years ago, whon Khalil Cherif Pasha, tho presont Turkish Ambaossador at Paris, was foreign Ministor here, o CONCEIVED A PLAN which should make Borvia stronger, and yet strongthon Turkey, This plan waa to hand over the Principalities of Dosnia and Herze- govina and constitute Bervia & Kingdom, on the one condition that it should become afiliated with Turkey In much the same way as the Bavarian Kingdom ia bound to Prussia, and that ita armies should form s component part of the Turkish military forces. Tho schemo was admirablo, and would have been carried out, bat BOME ONE TOLD IGNATIEFF, and so alarmod was that astute statesman that without moro ado ho brought so much influenco to bear upon Khalil Cherif Pasha 0a to make him drop the only schomo which would have saved Turkey.

New Yok, Juug 17—3:30 a. m.—A corre- spondent at 8t. Petersburg telegraphs ho has liad a conversation with an officer high fu the contldence of the Russlan Government ou the subject of the relations between Eogland and Russls, which was of the most impor tant nature. The correspondent was naturally anxious to ascertaln the views of the Russlan Govermnent on the attitude assumed by En- gland in rclation to the war, and the informa- tion obtained may be relled on as coming from the highest posalblo source. Tho relatfons be tween England and Ruassia st tho present moimebt, according to the gentleman in ques- tlon, are of the most critlcal kind short of actual war. The two countries stand on TIE VERY VEROE OF HOSTILITIES, and the slightest focdddent might atany time preeipitato a confllet, Never alnce the Crimean war has tho sitoation been of such peculfar difl- culty, though tho relative strength. and influ- ences of Russia and of England have changed very materially since that period, What makes the situation so unsatisfactory 18 tho Indefinite policy pursued by Englaud in relatlon to Tarkey, Bhe will neither say one thing or the other. She will nelther say defl- nitely that she will Oght fu certain contingen- cles, nor will sho say that under all creum- stances shie will malntain a atrictly neutral atti- tude. Sbe spesks so Indelnltely of SCBRITISN INTROLSTS," that anything under tho sun may be facluded fo the category. Yet it fs when these undefined and unnaoied entities are endangered that En- gland will Aight.

Its advan- tages for the prescut, however, caxot ns QuEsTIONED, England reserves to hersclf tho declsion as to what and what aro not Britlsh jutcrests, and when they are or are not menaced or luterfered with. Duriug all this timeshe may boncgotiating alliauces agalost Russia aod bringing sil tho welzt of her moral and financlal Inllucnce to beur agalust her, 1f ahe {s successful fu form- Ing & strong coalitlon, and the chances of ar- resting the progreas of the Russlan arins aro considered good, Jt could then ba announced that Dritish intercsts were menaced. But if, on the other hand, the chances of success seemed unfavorable, the same Juterests could be represcuted us perfectly FRES FUOM ALL DANGER, ‘This vague aud uncertaln policy Is pecullarly cmbarrassiog to Russia, If England would declara hepselt dedoltely, Rusasia would kuow lhow to act, mnd would bave no hesftation in adopting the ueccssary meas- urcs for tho cmergency. Eoglaud's position at preacnt I8 not regarded by Rusafa as that of a neutral. Under cover of her neutrality she fs working, tooth and uall, agaiust Russis, and doiug almost as much damasge as if alio wera actually at war. ‘The Czar complains of England throwing her moral fnfluonce on the side of Turkey, and thus cncoursgiug the Forte to take actlon which would not be ventured upou but for the reli- unce placed on the ultimate ald of England, S8he Induces tho Porta to distrust Russis, and ASBAILS BUSSIAN CREDIT through her press and her financisl and diplo- matic agencles; But for Eugland the Czar thinl® Turkey would bave surrendered long ago, and it may truly bo said that England (s indirectly making war on Russia througls Tur- key, Cuunt Schouvalofl {s Instructed to say ex- plicitly that war would be preferable to the present uncertaloty, Iu Berliu great auxiety is felt 1n the best in- formed diplomatic circles coucernlog the rela- tlons between Englaud and Russis.

This may be taken as & sure indication of the' side Gerany will take in the event, which {s re- garded as very probable, of tho war extending. TOE SUNDAY SUMMARY, ON THE DANUBR. Loxpox, Juns 17.—As regards the European seat of war, the principal point worthy of re- mark has been the cxtraordinary stringency of he precautions taken by the Russlans to pie- vent anything transplring relatlve to thelr operations, &lthough tho correspondents lo Roumania number 820, not one of them has been able to give any real information which would assist in the formation of san opinion as to where the Russlans intend to cross the Dan- ube. This increased seerecy, taken In conjunc- tlon with the fssusof decrces for s new loan and a large addition to the army, is Interpreted by some—secmingly with good reason—as s algn that RUSSIA NO LONGER HEAITATRS, and that important events may ghortly be ex- pected ss soon a8 the Danube (which sll ac- connts agree s falling) is in a condition to per- mit operatlons. Of course, under theae circutn- stances, upinions relative to the Jocality of the Russian advance must be formed from indica- tlons observable from the southern bank of the Danube, Thcse observations scem still to fn- dicate somewhere not far from Nikopolis as the spot where the most scrious effort will bo made. The Russlana are making 8 notable concentra- tion of troops &t the mouth of the Rivers Bode and Alutle, across which they Lave thrown bridges. Thero i scarcely any doubt that the troops concentrated between theso two rivers FORM TNH OPERATING ARMY. It seems ns though the Russlans would make an attempt to crossat this part of the river, whilst energetically engaging Rustchuk with heavy artlilery. This latter concluston is sup- ported by the arrival of agood qusntity of heavy artillery, especlally mortars, at Glurgevo, and the fact that the Russians have occupied the Island of 8tokan, opposite the town, and are eslablishing batteries there, despite tho Tarklsh fire. The Turks also thiok a passage will beattempted in force between Nikopolls and Blstoval, and have considerably reinforced the camps and garrisons at those places. 1N ASIAy the principal feature this week bas been the partial withdrawal of the Russlan right wing, and a closer investmentof Karsand Batoum. ‘Tho tatal Russfan forco avallable for active op- crations fn Asla Minor s about 140,000 Of these 40,000 are around Kars, 30,000 between Kars and Batoum, and 80,000 between Kars aud. the lincof the Bayazld & Toprak-Kali thus leav- ing about 40,000 for thecontre, against Mukhtar Pl:shn’l 40,000 §n strong position. These figures show TNE RUSSIANS IAVE NO MEN TO SPARK. 1t they intend to keep tho country they have so far occupled, though, it thelr object were sim- ply toelfect a rapld advasce and defeat tho ‘Turks as prellminary to pesce, there is pothing to prevent their dolug so. It is confirmed from soveral sides that the Russians arc not bent on rapid operations of this latter kind, but, ou the contraryy are dolng thelr work thoroughiy, and are systematically taking over the sdminlstra- tion of the country ss they advance. Thus tho former Bandjak of Schuragel Is now completely Incorporated with Russta under a Russisn Civil Governor. It secrus that, in obedlence to this plan of consolidating their conquests and mak- ing all sure behind them, the Russians will make no attack fu the direction of Erzeroum unill their cantre and left wing are quite free and prepared to co-operate thereln. ANMBNIA. In connectlon with tho foregolng, the Moscow Gazette signilicantly remarks: * When we have sccured the freedom of the Sclavs,and the ques- tion of material compensation arises, the {ncor- poration of Armenia with Russis will probably Lo declded on as much on Armenlan as Russian futercsts,” Botl combatants have been relnforced during the woek, the Russian lefi wing baving received reinforcements which are supposed to have traversed Perslan territory in order to reach thelr destinatlon, Relative to the - POLITIOAL EVENTS OF TIZ WEEK, there Is great excitement In south Bervia, fn consequence of the operations of ‘the Turks against the Montenegrins. Loud demands are made there for Bervia to support tho Monte- ncering, who, unless they receivo speedy assiat- ance, acem to bave litle chance of being avle to long withstand the converging Torkish col~ umns, whose object s to drive the Montene- grins south and westward, and prevent them in tho coming strugele from joining hands with tho Bervians, thus cutting off Dostia and Herze- govina from the rest of the Empire, TUE PEELING IN 8ERVIA ° sgainst the Prince of Montenczro belng left to be crushed s 5o strong that it {s belleved Princo Mflan cannot safely reslst it It Is also thought facredible that Russia should allow the Monte- negrins to be ubandoned. Although the report &8s to the probable action of Bervia are very con- flicting, the above fairly represents the reasons why Prince Milan's visit to Plolest! s regarded as of great Importance, us it will probably bo declsive of the ncutrulity or co-operation of Servia. PROM CONSTANTINOTLE strong additional confirmation Is reccived that ex-Sultan Murad has in & great measure recov- ered. As those discontented with the present regime favor his restoration, his recovery con- siderably complicates the Internal sltuation.
