The deteils of the intelligence from Europe are highly 4nterestin;—mere so then the telegraphic summaryfleads ws to believe. Tt is curious that the present moment should have been ehesen by the House of Bourben for a reconciliation. Louis Nepoleon was never so popular as he is now, owing o the line of policy he has adopted in the Fast. The Legitimists and Orleanisty made it up. The Duke of Nemours, the eldest of Louis Philippe’s cons, has ea'led on the Count de Chambori (Henry V.) at Frohsdorff. At that interview, the Dake, as representative of the Or. eanista came to an agreement with the legitimate hoir that the Orleanists would recognise him as king. He was not to marry again, should his present wife die, by whom he hiss po children. The Oount de Paris is to suo- eed him to the throne of France, The French, however, @eem very well satisfied with the Emperor of their own ehoesing and this sudden reconciliation is attributed to Russian and Austrian int: The Sardinia Chambers have been Gissolyed, and new @lections ordered, ‘The Berlin Chambers meet on the 28th inst.

THE RUSSO-TURKISH WAR. Our London Correspondence. Lonpoy, Friday, Nov. 25, 1853. THE WAR IN THE East. The report that the Englisb and French had entered the Black fea ia not yet confirmed. I can, however. assura you from an authentic source that the Enzlish and French governments are firmly resolved to support Turkey by force of arms if meorssary. The Empsror of Rassia has | g@nnounced that he is still open to negotiations if the Porte is willing to propose peace, But the Porte is not willing aod England and France are sick of the humbug: ging of ths Northern autocrat. The heary rains which have folie and swollen ‘he Danube have for a moment put a stop to hostilities for, as Idare say you are aware, all the country around Bucharest and Guirgevo is marshy greurd, the roads, even at the most javorable time of the year, sre generally ins detesta'le state; even between Glurgevo and Bucharest part of the wayis ® wild. open marsh foovered with herds of helf wild cattle, over which no one but a Wallachian driver could find his way. ‘The Torks have recro:sed the Danube at all points ex- cept Kals‘at. This retrograde movement is not regarded as adefest, butas a wise strategic measure.e Kalfat is elose unter the guns of Woddin, and at no great distance from Krsjows, the capital of Little Wallachia, where the | Russians lave concentrated a very considerable fore It is even reported that thoy have marched on Kalefat. It is not improbable that a sangui: ary engagement will take plsce there. The report published in some of the papers that Krajowa haz been taken by the Turks is not | true. They number 40,000 strong at Kalefat. It a» pears tha! Omer Pacha’s crossing at Tortukai and Rusi ehak was 2 manoeuvre to draw the atteativm of the Rus sians to that point whilst he was quietly concentrating a Inrger foveo at Kalefat. Now Kalefat is the key to Upper | Wallachia, which is the only mountainous part of the principaliiy. To the north and west it borders on the great ebsin of the Carpathian mountains, and on tha east it in protected by the river Olta, which separates it from the rest of Wallachia. The inhabitants are brave mountaineers, well disposed to the Turke. The Russians are entering the principalities in great numbers, Forty: five thoursid men under Luders had arrived by forced marches st Jassy, and other regimen‘s were advancing from otler quarters under Gen. Osten-Sacbren. From » trustworthy source I have received the follow- {ing statercent. The Ottoman army on the Danube pre- sents a total of 160,000 men, viz:~-120,000 foot, including the Egyptian contingent of 15,000 men; 12 regiments of regular caveivy; 40 batteries of artillery, well mounted nd manne; 10,000 zaltiés, or horse po!ice; 12,000 Albani- ans. Thi« army is divided into four priacipal divisions, which, at the time of crossing the Danube, were stationed as follows:— 4 Omer Pacha at Schum!a with 50,000, and in addition two 4attalions of picked sharp shooters with mimié Alim Pacha at Dabritciia with 26,000 men.

It fe doubtiess true that the Ot(pman government has poeeme sontewhat softened and elvilized during the pre- sent century.

It im- Pores the harem upon omciety, and, rendering woman's Prostitute on earth, it would make her a voluptaous #lave in beavon. “It makes the Sultana deity, and man his tool. It digs an impassvele gulf between man and man, according to creeds. It is essentially barbarian ia its spirit; and, however a few of the higher classes, who have been educated in the capitals of civilized Europe, may flave adopted certain forma and signs of civilization, the great mass of the people are still brooding in the shadow of their original ignorance and: berbarism, And shall this dark and ominous dominion which sig- nalized its irruption into Europe by a display of all the sterner features of its;faith and its followers {the memories of which have not even yet passed away) atill be permitted to keep possession of the fuirest portion’ of Europe? Shall it still be allowed to curse the land of the “oypress and myrtle,” ‘where all save the spirit of man is divine?’ Shall it be allowed to hold the gateway betwoon Europe and Asis, and impede, as it bas done for ages, the flow of European light and civilization into Asia? Shall it, when the speed of pro gress is cending from every part of Christendom, colonies to dig in the mines of California and Australia, to buffet the snows of Upper Canada—to make war upon the hos- tility of savage men and savage nations, in every part of the earth, in search of fortune—be allowed te sit idle, voluptuous, stagnant upon the golden’ waters of the Bosphorus? Yay, cortainly, all this iy to be. , Past history is forgot: ten, the Greek revolution is covered up—Navarino, and its naval chronicle is wiped out, and why? What has brought about this attitude of sfairs—this change in the spirit of the dream of European statesmen ? Why, e:pecially ig England arrayed against Russia? Why is Austria paralytic, and Prussia deaf and dumb? Why is France ardent, and England hesitating in sympathy for the Turkish cause? Can you solve these riddles? It must be remarked by all who would understand European politics, that very few public questions are Giscussed on this side of the water, according to their actual relations. In France, the government has its Presses, which free from the daily task of dressing up Public affairs, as a coifeur does a lady of fashion—with Pomatum, rouge and perfumes. The truth is hidden, and even the prying prints of the opposition cannot get at it, or perhaps dare not publish it. The silent, but portentous bosom of the Emperor isan abyss which the foreign press alone dares to approach or fathom, In England, the whole truth is not confessed. The go- vernmeat are nervously anxious to keep the peace, but all the whys and wherefore: are not revealed, The rising strength of the masses, indicated and supported by the general rise of wages—their evident consciousness of their power and their rights, proved by the strikes in all direc. tiors—the discontent at the abuses of taxation, shown by general ground swell among the middle ranks—a gone. ral apprehension among the upper classes that Eogland has seen her bert days, and that she is deomed to wee her. self speedily eclipsed in the race of might, majesty, and dominion—there things, which no man who has lately been in England can bave overlooked, are not put forth as entering into the motives for the course England has lately adopted in her public policy. These are, however, s part of the reason why belligerent John Bull is now so pacifically inclined. In respect to the Turkish question the government has been obliged not only to regard these points to which we have alluded, and which render all agitation dangerous, but in respect to France, she most delicate part to play. No one places any real confidence in the present Emperor of Fracce. His crown is not yet set upon his head; two yesra have hardly elapsed since be violently seized the aceptre of despotism. He is surrounded with enemies, and his lie 18 not safe for an hour, Frazce ra: thee endures than loves him. Even if he may be sincere and faithful to his allies of to-day, what may cot the exigencies of his situation demand of him to-morrow? Will he who crushed a constitution to which be bad sworn fidelity—merely to gain a throne—be scrupulous as to any weans which ambition may diciate, whether it be ‘o maintain or enlarge bis dominions? Shou not Evgland, then, when she is allying herasif with euch an indivi ual, walk gingerly—logk bebiad as well as be ore, and keep watch upon ber ally as well as upon her open enemie? True love never did rua smoot, and were it otherwise such a hollow trace as that at present between @pgland avd France, may not run ameoih totheend The Britich cabinet know this; and hence their bedging and hesitating course of policy upon the Tarbish question. Eut why did England take part with Turkey? Why did she not go with Russia, or at least keep aloot altozetuer’ For two reasons, Nothing is more certain thaa that Rusia, by taking part with Austris against Hungary, from the very moment of triumph became an object of fear, hatred, and disgust to # great part of southern and middle Evrope. The liberal portion of the people—or ratber ihe portion not positively absolutiss—looked with hor) or upon this ruthless crushing of a generous struagle for liverty, by @ sarty not directly concerned. Even those who cared not for justics or humanity, were ap- palled at this portentous marching of the armies of the Nort deepot, seeming to carry fate in their very tresd. All mea shrink with disgust from the voluntary and needless atrocities of the war inflicted as well by Auatiia as Rossin, an intense Cislike of Russia. enhanced by the general unpopvlarity of Austris—her late proteyé @ the legitimate fruit of her participation in the Hungarian war. England sees this, and iudeod, all think- ing men in Europe feel it. There is really a public opi nicn hore, despite the muzzle upon men’s lips and hearts, and it is that opinion which England dared not face, mouch Jess ouirage. She saw that the ancient hostility— prejucice, if you please to call it so—of Christendom against the Turks, were silenced in the intensity of « deeper and sterner feeling against the despot of the Nerth, and though it is said, doubtless with truth, that Prince Albert’s afinities incline him towards Russia, and that Lord Aberdeen reflects his feeliugs—atill, the British gov- ernment, at the prerent moment, deems it necessary to with tke current in favor of Turkey, rather than ally fomelt with hated and dreaded Russia, As to the policy of the French Raper I suppose it is not difficult to divine it—though the columns of the Momiteur do not assist us in the selution.

This Roman Catholic hatred dee and extends the hostile feeling against Russia xlready mentioned.

The large hall was crowded to the’ doors, not fewer than 3,000 persons being present. Coun *illor Moir was called to the chair, The following letter from M.

That eaure, sir, is highly deserving, not only of the warmest sympathies of every juat, honest, and upright man, but slao particularly of the most energetic ao-ope- ration of the people of Great Britain at large, and. of every exertion of ita constitutional influence upon the course of British policy; so much ao, that any apy wrong direction, any irresolution, or half in that respect must be followed by’ conse chievous to the world, but to nobody more t Britain herself. : y pot tc Tarkey in the light of were generous favor to the Sultan; an¢ still that is not the case, Private indivi- duals may act from sympathy—goverpments never do. {t is important to rectify that aifvotation ef generosity, because itéces harm to Tarkey by placing her in the unbecoming tituation of a protected State, No, sir; if Great Britain would assist Turkey, {t would do’ so, not from generosity, but from the necessity of taking care of ber own future ‘and her own interests, It is England's fatrre which is at stake in the Kast, not leas tham that of Tarkey.

Ifnot, de mind in ‘time the Oriental question; your own future is there trembling in the scales, and’ your own battle is fought on the battle pelds of Turkey. I would like, sir, to take up, point by point, the con- sideration of each ‘of your material interests, and feel contident of fully establishing that assertion, Bat nei- ther time nor cocasion permits, and, therefore, speaking to intelligent Britons, 1 will only say that each of your material inte cst, from your jal standing in the great family of nations, to your Indian concerns, whers = and letthat word well be minded while there is yet time to mind it—all the millions of your Mahommedan sub- jects reeognize the Suitan of Constantinople as thelr re- ligious chief, down to the very price of your daily bread, is invelved in the struggle between Turkey and her enemies, Mind, while itis yet time to mind it, was my word: and, ip fact, a8 no living man+m earth can feel more deeply interested in the ucsess of Turkey thin I myself do—as well by cational concerns aa by personal gratitude— L have great pleasure in seeing that there is a general dis- Position in public opinion here to mind that cause. Bat unfortunately, I see grent hesitation about the practic course to be taken to that effect. ‘Tha! hesitation, sir, 1s caused by the constantexertions | of some miswanugers of public opinion to lower the great question at issue iato the miserable proportions of a per- sonal cispute batween the Czar and tue Sultaa. Thus they have, until now, succesied in chocking public nion to arrive at an energy which is commensurate to the importance of the suse, since itnever can ba roused to fullactivity but by the highest motives of national interests. Those 1 iemanagers of public option speak ta 5a con- stently cf the honorable endeavors of your gover for snintaining the blessings of European p:ac Sir, the time has come for pronouncing it in che wo! phatic manner, that itiaa bitier serosem and hypoorlay the misrala of violence with the name of 7 and to the suppression of nations If such a concition be the situ, sir for which jal exertions of Great Britain are to be used, then let Great Britain at least conierve the merit of frankcess, if it has resolved upon forfsiting its reputa- tion of liberality. These mirmacagers of public opinion go further, sir; they consider the presence of your fleet ia the Bosphorus but the means of enforcing some possible trumpery ad- justment of the quarzel. Why, i ridieolous igeorauce to believe that the Turkish question, or rather the European question involved therein, ean be disposed of by some miserable adjustment, which leaves sight, internaticual Law, and popular Liberties in Europe oppressed, sui tae field of Russia open, to he come yet the master of the world, by renewing the war ata more favorable opportunity? Ii really sich be the destinaticn of the presence of your fleet in the Boepho- rus, then. I profess, it would be better for Turkey te ree The’ weqden walls of England steering back to Ports mouth, Ic the British men-of war would sink or capture the Russian fleet, and bombux't Sebastopol, and land @ Turkish army at Odesra, and eesure the linegor communieation;for the Turks, that would be an assistance, sir. But the erence cf your fleet before Conan‘ ineple is rrasament to Turkey, a check to her enerzie ant to her niakisg use of thore menni of de- fence which every political consideration points oat to her as the most availing and the mort esgeotisl It is, in fact, nothing else than the practical assurance that, in cave of succes#, Turkey ehovld be prevente. from reaplag such fruits of her victories as would finally eettle the great Oriental question, open for more than @ century; aud, in case of defeat, to make her cis, not like « hero, by aglorious death, but to piae away in conmmption, brought on her, by slowly, but certaisly, kil ing diplomatic negotiations. The fallaciee of this false situation are resulting from the want of suflicient reflection tpon the roal nature of the struggle between Turkey and Jtuesia, Tbe Jloly Shrines, the Greek church, the asylum altorced to Hun- arian and Polish exiles, the wounded peraonal digaity of fhe Czar, and all petty considerations of similar kind, have notbing in the world to do with. the pending contest: and therefore ne srrangemen ts uyo such potty grounds can setile it. The real motive of the contest is the ne- cessary consequence of the position of Russia, and of all that agglome: of events which were heaped up io of the Jape ¢ than 160 yeors.

It appears that, though not avowedepenly, the shadows ,of these events fluttering before the eyes of your staceemem. Hence it comes tist, despairing of a rincere and active uoiwn with Austrio ia the present stroggle, they «{uench their fears with ancther idea aot less abeura than the first has deen; they endcwvor to psrsuade them- selves that, though Autria may cst be possibly indaced alde with the Great Western Pewers against Russia, will, at vast, remain reutral. And yet, an impar- tial aeutnility of Austria is, from her very position to Russia, equally ‘inporsible, a8 would ejually be her sid- ing with Turkey. More yet, sir, that nowtrality dees not actura‘ly exist axy longer. It is searcely nit montis ago since Omer Pxcha, at the head of thirty thousand mea, was marching against Mon- tenegro to check a ravolt which was stirred up by Russi and Austr's immediately. despatched an envos 9x traordi nary to Constantinopis to inform the Sultan p4rem ptorily that she coul not allow sush # large force (!) to be con- centratec so-near to thy Austrian frontiers; thet, there- fore, it must be withdrawn, or else Austria would con- sider it a legitimate caus of war. And wha: ix it that the same Austria does now? She bas ccneentrated ninety tioudand men in the immediate neighborhood, on the northwestern frontiers of Tutt and has she given any sat trality, eccompanied with sxch a threatening atttizde ? No, sir. Mere words!—emp: y wotts——words of that d 'y which has never yet held sacred even an ooth. And even these e:npty words pledged her only condition ally—saying, in so (ar as her interest will permit her to remain neutral. Have Great Britain and France guaria teed an impartial ventrali'y of Adstria? No, sir, they have not; they cannot, and Gare aot to it; therefore what is the result? The result is, that the Turkish government was forced, in contemplation of tue hostile attitude of Austria, to 16 tom porjurions dyn: } garrison the fortressas of Servia on s war (voiing, and to keep idle an army of obmervation ip Bosnia. By this necessity 56,000 men have deen abstracted from the active army of Omer Pacha, and that is positively if Austria had sent 60,000 men as a reinferce- 3 headquarters of Prince Gortdchakoff. Nay, it is werne;) since the sending of such an auxiliary forse would have relieved the Torkish goverarzent from the difficulties of au absurd diplomatic convenience prevent- ing ber until now of making use of the-heroic willing- ness of the Hungarian nation to afford suck aid as soon would have made Austria usable either to berm Turkey orbelp the Czar; whereas, by her false noutrality, sho abstracted such’a force from the entire Turkish army ss her open hostilities could not abstract, Thenafore, plas te toil me, sir are these diplosaatic endeavors of Great Britain backed even by & parade of your tleot up to tha Bosphorus, which had no other resalt and no vther aim but'to uphold this position, of any sssistaucs to the Turkish empire? No, sir, it is no assistance; it is worse than indifference, It is the ent y of a guest who, with his Very presence, absorbs the independence of tie’ house- owner. Fortunately, the force of events has so far favored jus- tice and right that there can be 20 more harm done by Profossing it openly; thet the Turkish Empire oxi neither In ite present struggle have « more valuable ally than the Hurgarian nation, nor its frtare can get any better varantee than the restoration of Polish nationality and ungatian independence, Without this Turkey will alwoys have to fear in the present struggle that Austria might at such » moment throw down the mask of her false nentrality, when the Turks, though victorious, will be wora out by their -ver vietories. It is not for the first time that Austria wi have played such afoul play. In 1737, in that Turkish Ruasisn war which endea wita tho-tresty of Belgrade, it was Austria who took upon herself to azt as mudiator be- tween the belligerent parties. But while she was medi- ating at Niemsrofi she, Austria, the jmodiator, conoen- trated. her armies, upon the intelligence that’ Marshal Movich had teken Oczakoff, aud Marshal Lasoy advanced im Orimer, nat as rhe does now, andattacked Turkey on Whole Kine, from Bosnia up to. Wallachia; alleging that the treaty, congluded between Austria and Russia in 1726, end corfitmed in 1755, obliges her not only to aid Bosla in any war against Turkey,’ but, should Turkey be tie agaressor, even to declare a divest wat aguinat the Sultan ‘You ave well eware, mir, that from the time of the wolf and the lemb, whoever 1a willing to commit violence is pever at» lous to pervert truth. You.are aware that the Caar, in his wani(e st» of November 1, declarsa barefaced- ly, even now, that Tarkey is the aggroasor in the present struggle. And that treaty of 1726 is iil ready for use; itimay be taken out at will from among the diplomatic rubbich. sinee the-spirit of the treaty has been ¢oniirm- ed by the Fo called Holy Aliance, and that alliance has, inits turn, again been confirmed junt now at Sans-soaci in Prussia, after the imperial conference at Olwiitz, and hes still more forcihly beon confirmed by the Ruaeian La- tervention in the Hungerian war, whieh, from an alty, and possibly a rival, converted the ‘Swperor of Austris into an obsvient servant of the Crar. No, str; no imsginable diplomatic adjustment ean aattle the Oriental: question, unless it does raise a barrier be- tween Turkey. and her ambitions neighbors, As long as Austria is depending upon the Crar, she will always be in danger of the independence of Turkey in the interest of the Czar. On the contrary, if wo imagine her—a atrango imagination inteed—independsat.anistrong, she wil al- ways threaten Turkey in her own interest, Austria, if deersed a first rate power, reckons it to ba her inherited policy tospeculate npon the partition of the Tarkish em- pire, ux well ap the cabinet of St. Petersburg. The Orar is pushed by the wirh of becoming a grost maritime power, while Austria'is pushed in the seme direction by mightier Teasons yet then those of an inhovited ambition. Bs it that ehe loses hold of Italy, whiah, sooner or later, is in evitablo—be it that Prussia gains on ascendancy over her in @ermany, in any possible emorgency, she looks for compensaticn only to the Tarkish empire.

Jt’ might have been supposed that those at- tacks woult have been enough to weaken the power of Turkey; but a third atteck waa made upon her by one of her own Pachas—Mebemet Ali.
