FRANCE.—Paris still occupies itself with the East, and news is but scanty. On Thursday the Emperor reviewed the troops at Satory in the presence of the Empress and the Duke and Duchess of Alba. The camp was gaily adorned and sanded in honour of its Imperial visitants.
It appears that Admiral La Susse has been recalled from the command of the fleet in the Dardanelles; some say because he arrived there later than the British Admiral ; others that Admiral Dundee is the junior of Admiral La Susse, and that as it was desirable that the fleet should be commanded by an experienced officer, the French Government have sent out Admiral Hamelin, a junior to the British Admiral, who thus takes the command.
It is stated that M. de Persigny has bad an interview with the editors of the Parisian press ; and has assured them the Government has no de- sire to restrict, but rather to enlarge their present sphere of action. From this proceeding it is at least evident that in future the Minister of the In- terior will have that control over the press lately exercised by the Police.
The. Pays has some notable remarks on the Mediterranean, repeating a disclahner of the idea that it can be " a French lake "—" the Mediter- ranean is an European lake."
The Duke of Montebello, and several other French officers, were to leave Paris on Tuesday, for the Camp at Chobham.
TITRKEY.—Notbing is altered in the relative positions of the quasi-bel- ligerent parties in so far as the accounts yet go. The British and French Beets were still in Besika Bay at the date of the last advices. The Turks were still arming. Rumours that the Russians had, and that they had not crossed the Pruth, have been flashing from the Continental cities to Paris and London all the week. What seems really certain is, that on the 15th June the Russians had a strong corps ready to cross the river ; that the Hospodars have been ordered to prepare food and shelter for the troops ; that the Turkish army was strongly posted at Schumla, and ge- nerally in position on the line of the Balkans; and that both sides were ardently awaiting war. Meanwhile, the Sultan had issued the long-ex- pected firman securing the rights and liberties of the Christians ; the Pa- triarchs had presented their acknowledgments to Redschid Pasha ; and Lord Stratford had visited the Patriarchs. M. Wahine, the courier who carried the ultimatum—or, as the Germans call it, the ultimatissimum- had left Constantinople; but whether the Russians have yet passed the Pruth is uncertain.
The following is a translation of the last note sent by M. Nesselrode to Redsehid Pasha.
" St. Petersburg, May SI, 1353. "Sir—The Emperor, my august master, has just been informed that his Ambassador has been under the necessity of leaving Constantinople, in con- sequence of the peremptory refusal of the Porte to take towards the Imperial Government of Russia the smallest engagement of a nature to reassure it of the protecting intentions of the Ottoman Government with regard to the worship and orthodox churches in Turkey. "It is after a fruitless sojourn of three months—after having exhausted, by word of mouth and by writing, all that truth, benevolence, and a spirit of conciliation dictated—it is, finally, after having endeavoured to meet (mi- nager) all the scruples of the Porte by successive modifications, to which he had consented in the terms and the form of the guarantees which he was instructed to demand—that Prince Menschikoff was compelled to take the determination, which the Emperor learns with sorrow, but of which he could but entirely approve.
"Your Excellency is too enlightened not to foresee the consequences of the interruption of our relations with the Government of his Highness. You are too devoted to the true and permanent interests of your Sovereign and his empire not to feel a profound regret in prevision of the events which may follow, and the responsibility of which must rest entirely on those who pro- voke them.
" Thus in addressing this letter today to your Excellency, my only object is to put it in your power, in so far as it is still possible, to render a most im- portant service to your Sovereign. Place once more the real situation of affairs before his Highness; the moderation and the justice of the demand of Russia ; the very great insult done to the Emperor by opposing to his in- tentions, which have oonstantly been friendly and generous, unfounded mis- trust and inexcusable refusals.
"The dignity of his Majesty, the interests of his empire, the voice of his conscience, do not permit him to accept such proceedings in return for those which he has halt and still wishes to entertain, with Tuikey. He must seek to obtain their reparation, and to provide against their recurrence in future.
" In a few weeks the troops will receive the order to cross the frontiers of the empire, not to wage war, which it is repugnant to his Majesty to under- take against a Sovereign whom it has always pleased him to consider a sin- cere ally, but to obtain those material guarantees until the moment when, brought to more equitable sentiments, the Ottoman Government will give to Russia the moral securities which she has in vain demanded for two years through her representatives at Constantinople, and in the last instance by her Ambassador.
"The draft of the note which Prince Menschikoff presented to you is in your hands. Let your Excellency hasten, after having obtained the consent of his Highness the Sultan to sign that note sans variantes, and to transmit it without delay to our Ambassador at Odessa, where he still sojourns. "I earnestly hope, that at this decisive moment, the counsel which I ad- dress to your Excellency, with the confidence with which your enlightened views and patriotism inspire me, will be appreciated by you, and by your colleagues in the Divan ; and that in the interests of peace, which we ought all to be equally desirous of maintaining, it will be adopted without hesita- tion and without delay.
"I am, &c. NESSELRODE."
.The Russians have sunk several boats in the Sulina mouth of the Da- nube; so that no ships can enter or leave the river. It is said there are two hundred grain-ships within the bar. [This blockade has, however, been referred to natural accidents.] BRITISH GUIANA.—We have received a special copy of the Royal Gazette of Georgetown, dated 10th May, containing many expressions of regret at the departure of Mr. Barkly, the Governor, for England. Independently of the journal itself, which is warm in its praise of Mr. Barkly's rule, there are copies of two addresses, one from Demerara, the other from Ber- bice ; and the account of their presentation, together with a piece of plate, value five hundred guineas, from the inhabitants of the former, as a testi- monial of their regard. These were presented on the 10th May, by a de- putation, consisting of Mr. John Creel, Mr. Peter Rose, Mr. A. Macrae, Mr. Thomas Porterjunior, Mr. John Gordon, Mr. D. 'Vander Gon Netscher, Mr. P. M. -Watson, Mr. Daniel Blair, and Mr. John Scott. The address from Demerara expresses the high esteem and regard of the signers for Mr. Barkly, and their regret that they should be deprived of his "mild and intelligent rule" even for a short time. They thank him for having extended and facilitated immigration, improved the ad- ministration of justice, upheld public credit, and impressed on the owners of property the necessity of performing their duties. The Berbice address says, that under Mr. Barkly's government, "political contentions have almost ceased, immigration has been renewed, crops have increased, and the whole country has assumed an aspect of prosperity and cheerfulness to which it had for some time been a stranger." Both addresses trust that Mr. Barkly will advocate their cause in England, and urge the im- policy of impeding the free introduction of labour.
Mrs. Barkly is also respectfully mentioned ; and cordial wishes are ex- pressed for a pleasant voyage home, a happy meeting with family and friends in England, and an early return to the shores of British Guiana.
