It is not fora Britisher, however liberal his views, to presume to suggest the course of conduct to be adopted by the government of Wash- ington. There can be vo doubt but that it will, in this mutter, ada one more “ glory” to the very maay already in stock. Now. Master Nicholas, of Russia, has evinced more discretion than bis blubber faced cousin of Austria. Sundry letters trom St. Petersburg, pub- lished in divers German papers, state that the Czar, pon hearing of the Smyrua affair, advised the Aus trian government to wind it up as soon as possible, and do anything rather than let you Yankees have the clightest loop-lole whereby you might pop your fingers into the pie-crust of Nuropean aifairs. dt wus suid at Jassy, July 17, that only 6,000 Ras signs will remain in Moldavia—the bulk of the army will take np ils quarters in Wallachia. By expresa orders of the Czar, the tribute, above alladed to, dae to Turkey, is to be placed at his Majesty the Czar's Holaregtt tis widely reported that it was decided in the cabinet council of Saturday last, that without wait- ing for the dilatory and doubtful support of Austria and Prussia, Russia should be called upon by France and Es glond immediately to accept the arrangement proposed by them, aad at once to evacuate the prin- cipalities. It was intimated with as much distinct- nees as diplomatic language allows that any evasive answer would be considered as a refusal to treat, and would provoke an order to the fleets to cnter the Dardanelles. The Turkish government, harassed by the condact of Russia, and having ably exposed to the world the conduct of that despotic power, has determined at last to act with vigor, i.e, have a go in atan uitimatum. Russia bas indulged in a good many; and now his Turkstip, with the approval of Engl and France, intends to frame one t ois Czarship, which will doubtless make Bruin’s hairs bristle. x M. Nesselrode and Menschikoff have indulged im manvers and langnage ill-becoming such dignita- ries, and now we shail see what effect a determined avd dignified Turkish utmatum will have upon them and old Ni it is impossible, in the absence of precise iaforma- , to give the text of this document, the composi- tion of which is doubt'ess a+ che suggestion and un der the direction of Frauce and Eugland. The re- sare to the effect that the Porte has to the present epoch evinced every disposition amd de- sue to continue on good terms with its neighbors; that it was always disposed to listen to just com- plaints and to remedy them; that no distinction waa tade between the Christus and Massulman sab- ets; that it has very recentl; ‘iven proots of its Jove of toleration and of impartial justice, in the fir- mans it has issued, and which sufficiently secure the immunities, privileges, and rights of the Christian f pation, All this the Sultan has done; but if he »¢ required to do anything more than is consistent with bis own houor, the dignity, and the ind ence of his people, he shall give the same reply he tos already given to the ultimatum of Count Nessel- rode, namely, a refusal; aod if the consequenses of thas refusal be war, war he must accept; but he leaves it to the world to judge between them, and to pronounce its verdict as to the party that rendered necessary so terrible an alternative. The note, or ultimatuin, concludes by reiterating the assurance that the Sultan is ready, should negotiations be ac- cepted, to rend an ambassador extraordinary to St. Petersburg. ‘The Russian troops in the principalities suffer very much on their march, from the heat, which is very ureat.
