First Murmur of a War Alarm. CONSTANTINOPLE, Oct, 28, 1870. For the present the Russiau press seems to breathe only war; but war of a purely defensive nature. It is at present, to all appearances, a cardinal petnt of belief (nat Prussia having once made an end of her Present victim wili turn all her strength upon Rus- sla, and therefore that the whole duty of the Musco- Viles will be preparing for defence, It 1s for this pur- pose that a large armed force is being concentrated in Western Poland tu order to observe Prussia, and not against Turkey. But what ts most serious,aud what affecta us more, 18 that the tussian system of internal communica- ion 1s stlil being pushed forward with unabated vigor, It 13 oficially announced that in a few mouths the rathway from Kliarkov to Poltava, as Well as that from Voroney to Rustoy, wil be con. pieted.

The terriblo war between France and Prussia bas, as yet, iu no manner troubled the “Zast.” There is no doubt that the French possess the sympathies of a great part of the Ottoman functionaries and tho people at large, especially the Armenian and Greek Christians here, Even the Sultan remembers his brilliant reception in Paris, during the Exhibition of of the genoral subject or surrender forever her right toa voice in European affairs outside of her own domestic conceras.
