THE TURKISH WAR. There are somé important incidents in progress of events since the date of last despatch per Nisgara. Austria has dowanded whether the Rassian coort would object to a European protectorate over the Curietiaas in Turkey. To thiv the Russian goverument replied, in most poritive Janguage, that Rassias would permit mo other Power to meddle in the matterof the Greok Ohurch— Roasia had treaties with the Porte, and would eettls the queatien with her alone. This news which seems to have the stamp of authenticity, was telegraphed from Vienos to London on the afternoon of Sunday, 8th inst. A telegraph despatch aamounces ths entrance into the Black Sea, om the 20th December, of a division of the combined fleet. It was fully expected in London end Paris that the Russlam Ministers would demand their passports on ite being knowa that the fleet had advances. M. Kisseleff, the Minister at Paris, had, however, said (60 it was reported,) that the movement cf the fleet, as mo tived anc explained im the despatch of M. Drouyn de VHuys, did not appear to him to be hostile, snd thers cre he would await further instructions from his govern- ment. Tempestuous weather is assigned as the reayon that the fleet did not earlier enter the Eaxine. In the Journal of Constantinople of Dacember 24:h we have the latest account of tae operatioas along the Danube, The Journal says:—‘' At the moment we are puttirg to press despatches, dated the 19sh December, bave arrived at the War Office, conceraing the operations of the army. of Roumelia, They contain the reports 0° three pew engagements that have taken place between the Ottoman troops and the Russians. Want of time prevents giving fall details. Two companies of infantry from the garrison of Kelefat, and 180 cavalry, ware eseort- ing 400 wagone sent ona foraging expedition, when, about six Iesgues from Kalefat, they met a numsrous party of Coesacks, who wished to cut them off, The colonel in command of the Turkish detachment drew up his troopa and the wagons in battle array, » hot fight ensued, acd the result was that the Russians fled with sensiderable loss, The Turks lest only eight killed and a few wounded. “The seeord battle was in front of Sistowa. A small Turkish civision engaged with « considefable number of Cossacks. The la:ter wore repulsed, the Tarks meting ten prisoners, “The third engagement was but slight A steaccer, towing two gunboat, again presented itaelf before laatehs and Watchir. The fort fired on them, avd sank both gunboats, besides damaging tho steamer, which thea sheered off in all haste,”” In the Tarkish paper, the Jiridei Hanadis. of Deo. 20, wa find as follows:—“‘We have already announced that the Russians captured a Turkish steamer aod took it to Sebastopol, where, after remaining some time, it was sent to Odessa, Afterwards it was taken back to Sebastopol with some Turkish prisonerc on beard. Ose of then managed to get into the hold, and cut a hole in the bot tom, which sunk the ship. This is authentio.”” It is said that a note from Count Nessslrode has been remitted to the English cabinet in answer to this de mend : “Will Russia consent to the establishment of a Euyopeen Protectorate over the Onristian population in Tarsey?’ The Osar has answered that he will never a] low any foreign iatervention in his cifferenses with the Sultan, and that he will admit no participation ia a right which he has co well acquired. THE PROGRESS OF NEGOTIATIONS. Advices from Constantisople are of date Dicom ber 26. Harmony bad teen re-established in the Ot_ toman ministry, The Seraskier Minister of War re taine his portfolio, and the resignation offered by Reds chié Pacha has not been accepted. It was stated that the ministry had agreed on the two points following, pamely:>—That if the Russians evacuate the Principali ties Turkey will consent to have the privileges of the Christians coafrmed by & congress, It was, no doubt, on this assent that Austria applied for Russie’s consent to a European protectorate of the Christiaus, The same letter adds: ‘Some symptoms of fanaticism have been rhown in the city, and the rallying signs of the old Janissaries have been displaye’ s4 marks of discontent. The demonstrations of the Softas had strengthened tae war party.” ‘We hive received the following letter from O.astanti rople, dated Dec. 25 :— At a Grand Council held on the 40th, the Porte accepted the note of the four Powers suthorizing them to renew the re Boner @f peace, on certain conditions favorable to Tar , which runs as fellows :— *1, the undersigned Ambassador of her Britannic Ms- accordance Jesty, in Prussia, have the honor to make known to the Sublime Porte that{ the goveraments of the four Powers, baving still rearon to the Emperor of Russia does not consider the negotiations broken and put aside by the declaration of war and its Consequences, smd knowing, moreover, from the declara- tlons made by bis I Majesty, that he "le auxiour werely to see insured an ity of rights and privileges conceded (cctroyes) by his Majesty the daltan, and by loricus predecessors, to the Christiag communities, jects of the Sablime Porte : The Sublime Porte having amswered such declarations by saying that she would eonsider it her decorous duty to continue to maintain the said rigats and privileges. and to be always willing to put an end te existing differenoss between the two empires: The proposed negotistions to be based :— he on the evacuation of the Prinoipalities as soon as weidle; Secondly, on the renewal of the former treaties; Thircly on the commusication of the firmans relative to the spiritual privileges concaded by the Sublime Ports to all ber subjects not Mussulmans, which commanica- tion, made to the Powers, would be accompanied by pro- per declarations given to each of them.
