aad lately The Tisarr, also denounced T?rr aa a
sJeeerter I I do not know whether thom? organs
weald apply the same epithet to the great Duke of
Mariboroogh; but certainly Turr aeted after the
example of tbe Hero of Blenheim. The arreetof j
tbe poor Hungarian officer made a deep impression |
apon the Italians willing to enlist in the Anglo
Italian Legion, since nearly all of them are
claimed by Austria as deserters, and the fate of
CaL Turr is to tbem no inducement to enter
into English service. But while England has tar?
nished her honor by not upholding the inviolability
?f her dniTorm, the Sultan, the only real gentle
?ma amoDg all tbe crowned heads of Europe, has
again d i sting ui'tied himself by protesting strongly
against the imprisonment of Col. Turr on his ter?
ritory; he denies the authority of the Austrian
army! of occupation M usurp tho rights of sov?
ereignty, and maintains that in Moido-Wallachia
judicial power is not to be exercised except by
(be authorities approved bv the Saltnn's vice?
gerents, tho Hespodars. Accordingly he insists
apon the liberation of the unfortunate victim of
English subserviency to Austrian brutality.
The details of the plan of the next campaign are
la be diacuased and arranged in a Council of War,
at Paris, early in January, while the Russians, iu
advance of the Western Pow ers, have already con
eertcd their plans of defense. It seems that the
scheme of abandoning all the second-rate positions,
and concentrating the forces on the moat important
strategical points, is to be carried out still more
effectively than lofore. The capture of Kinburn,
by which two thousand Russians aud several can
aana fell into the hands ol tbe Allies, without
damage to the enemy, was a glaring example of the
aaeleasness of small fortresses and of the danger of
wasting the strength of the army to keep them gar?
risoned. Accordingly the fortifications of Odessa
will likewise be destroyed, and the troops with?
draw n from the town, which will he protected
solely by its mercantile character. But .Nikolai' fl
baa been converted into a first-rate fortress,
and General Todtlcbcn, summoned to St. IV
tershurg, when he was received with tri?
umphal honors, has now to complete the fortifi?
cations of the capital, of Vi borg, and of some
other important places on the Baltic shores. The
greatest efforts are being made to baffle the move?
ment? of the Allies, and as Pelissier and Cod ring
tan lost the opportunity to drive tfcV Kassian
forces out of the Crimea when demoralized by the
fall of the Malakofl they could not have offered any
aerious resistance. Prince Gorchakoft will now ha?
rass the A Hies during Winter. Twicealready within
tbe last fortnight the outposts and vanguard of the
French in the Beider Valley have been attached
by the Russians, who seem to reconnoiter the
positions of their enemies before they try aajei
more the" fortune of war iu a pitched battle; and
I wonld not he astonished to hear that in spite of
the season Gorrhakoff has assumed the offensivu in
earnest either against the army corps of l.upatoria.
ar the troops at Kertch and Venikale. Russia can?
not, unless it be by some able and successful moves
ia the field, regain her lost ascendancy in Ger?
many. All the smaller kings and princes are
ahakeu in their faith in the Czar, ami begin to 1
Cavitate toward Franco, in the belief that tho
iperial "parvenu" might after all, as lone as he
ia in power, he as good a protector of monarchy in
Europe as tho Czar Nicholas was for the last
?gearter ofthe century. Prussia alone continues to
cling to Russia. The Ministerial paper of Berlin,
tbe Zett comments upon the last peace proposi?
tions in a most unfriendly spirit, and points out the I
fallacy of a pretended neutralization of the Black |
Sea, which, while it forbids Russia to build a fleet
in that Sea. leaves the fleets of tho Allies and of
Turkey unscathed in the Aegean, barring their
access to the Luxine only by a paragraph of a
paper treaty. I he neutralization of the Black
?Sea would therefore be. according to the l'russiau
organ, merely a humiliation of Russia, unjustly
trurtailiua her rights oi sovereignty
Vicuna paper* admit that the propositions were
tkirly stated by the English journals as rcgarda
the neutralization of the Euxim*. the cession of a
atrip of Bessarabia, including Baal ami Ismail, and
the abandoiiiuc.it of anv pretensions to an exclu
?live protectorate j hut the] deny that l.'iissia Was
summoned to deatroj or not to rebuild her for?
tresses on the Black Sea, or to pledge herself not
to fortify the Aland Islands. 1 tie KagUeh version
is right, but the Western Powers are ready to
yield the two points disputod by the A istrian pa?
pers.
Considerable importance is attached to a semi
official pamphlet w hich has just appeared at Paris,
to demonstrate the ueceeeity of a Congress for the
Eicification ef Europe, it clearly shows that
apoleoa, having carried moil of his point* by
aaeana of the English alliance, seeks now by a
Congress to put himself on such terms w ith Russia,
Austria and Prusssa, as to be able to separate from
his exclusive alliance with England. The
pamphlet has, therefore, at London created some
dissatisfaction. It is considered as the first stop \
far loosening the M entente cordial**."

well known that nothing is easier in Fram e or
Austria, where the institution of the Grand Jury is

THE PEACE NBQOTIATION&
The week's news prOBWStS no BOW/bets aitOthe
piogiess of the pesce negotiations. We have, how?
ever, a great ninny report* and surmises, the tenoi of
a'l indicating Bnrnasf 4 hoiiee of a renewal of direct
negotiations.
'1 he I'rertr, of Vienna, has the following:
14 We leara frees a reepeetable aoarea that thi En
glish journals aie misinformed when they atatathat
Count Baterhaiy is tbe bearer of an ultimatum to I be
Russian Government. Be is simplv couunisdoued to
communicate to the Russian Culmiet pjoptoSHiillS
which may ultimately h ad to peace. A perfect under
standing prevails In tween Vieuua, Paris an.l Loododj
but a rejection of the terms now made will hardly iui
nu diately lead to the direct ptirtu-ipation of Awatrta in
the war. Austria will make another political deaaOB*
strntion?recall her Minister?before slie re-o|ve- on
tak.ng a st< p of rack extreme importance."
The Vienna OttteTttickitcht Zettuttg addsl
" t'p to the ptesent moment Austria has nut pledged
herself to natural tbe conditions of peace, as tlj? y BO I
stand, with the sword. Indeed, it would b ? simply
min uloiis to menace Russia at a s. aeon wbea it - im
possible to attack her."
As regards the natm ? of the terms offered to En- da,
the Piraaa (iazettt says;
"In fad, all the lost position* are to be restored.
The mouths of the Oneisti i und Danube, and. with
the exseption of a few point*, the Crimean coast, are
in the baud- ofthe opponents of Rus.-ia, and the sea i*
ha hid tie a to Raaaiai ships. Vet Rmv-.u u to sutTer uo

tense of guaranteeing the continent of Europe against
tin ptajrur. But Europe, which no loager rcouirae tbe
aid oi R;is-ln to secure in r against that et D,does need,
and must have, the freedom of the Danube."
The oBnetal Drrtiem Jsowroal state* that Baasiahas
expressed hi t wflliagai s> to agu e to thi aeatrality of
the Black Sea, subject to certain condition*, other
Prussiaa papers say that the demolition ofthe Russian

EMANCIPATION OF SERFS IN* MOLDAVIA.
The following is the text of the decree, dated the
>th of November, by which I'imee Gluka has eman?
cipated the lern in Moldavia:
? The law voted in Is 14 by the Extraordinary Gen?
eral As*< tabby, relative to the enfranchisement of the
serf-belonging to the State, to the metropolis, to the
bi-hopric*. and to the monasteries in general, provided
at the same time for the progressive purchase of the
-erf* of private persons, by si tting apait for the pur?
pose the sums nri-ing from the tax of the freed men.
the objec t of this philanthropic measure was to arrive,
in a series of years, at the abolition of slavery in this
country, und it reposed principa'ly on the hope that
most of the owner* of-erts. moved by emulation, would
spontaneously aid In the liberation of the human be?
ing* in th' ir pOSeaaskxe. Wo, howaver, regret to kytvo
to state that very f. w among them have thu*fsrre
?yooded to this humane appeal, while, on the other
hand, the small *nms set apart for redeeming slave*
have not, by any means, etfei ted their complete mau
BXaiaSSOB. Among the duties which our position im
po?ee on tia, and Hinonif the reforms \\ Inch We have
atti mpted to realize, we find that this question is one
of those which must be dealt w th before any other,
because it springs from the laws of humanity ir*e|f,
and greatly concern* the dignity of the country. At
the moment at wbu h all Kvops t> stifles guch groat
interest iu the Principalities, and contemplate* fixing
their future de.-tinics, it is the duty Of our coun?
try, on its part, to take a -rep in advance.
Many ytars have pa*-ed since Shivery wn* abol
isbeef la all the ctvlhaed States of the Old World;
the Moldo-Wllachia States have alone prescivid
this disgraceful vestige of burburous society; in
these Principalities xlone Slav ry forms part of the
generul social order. Such an anomaly neither onghf
to nor can any longer exist; such a state of thing*
is in opposition to the saiTed dogmas of rhe Christian
religion, to all the principles of hn'nanity, and to
the vital inten fttaof the State; it is, iu fact, the plague
Of society ?a plague which we 'mist not try to keep
from observation as ha* hitherto been attempted?for
it is impossible to hide it?but one which we mu-t
remedy as soon a* possible. In OnaoegBeaeO. BS a
Prince and as a Christian, consulting the dignity of
the eorntry and the sentiments of our own heart, wa
now call the serion- attention of our Council to this
imjairtant question; we connt|oii it* :udive co-opera?
tion in aiding us to solve this matter la ;i spirit in e?n
fonnity with the great laws of butnanitv. and at the
same time not to forget the indi umity aUeh it due to
the paasesaors of slaves; and we reooaxaarad it to prc
jaic a bill en the subject, and to submit it to us In
order that it may be dieeaxeed by the Ocacral Dtvaa.
Our opinion is, that the basis of thi* measure *hou!d be?
I, Um immediate abolition of Slavery iu Moldavia;
The regulation and the mode of apportioning the indem?
nity to be accorded to the poaaaaior* of slaves. We
hope that the co-operation of our countrymen, without
distinction, will not fail us iu this humane question
We do not doubt that the Ministers themselves wdl de.
v? to their effort* to carry out to Its full r it oat the ta-k
