THE REFUGEE QUESTION NOT YET SETTLED —THE PREPARATIONS OF BOTH POWERS FOR war. Our advices from Constantinople are to the 25th of ‘November, As yet the extradition question had not been settled mor, according to the best authorities, was it likely to ‘be settled. The Emperor had, up to that time, persist- od in his demands for having the enemies of Russia, ems he calls the Hungarians and Poles, banished from the Ottoman empire. These demands the Porte re- -@ists; and sothe matter stand: It was thought during the early part of the woe! ‘that the whole affair bad been arranged; but it turns out to be untrue. In the opinion of the Times oor- Tespondent, the Emperor is merely desirous of post- poning a rupture till spring, when his operations wil be more favored by the season.
