The rumour in Paris, yesterday, was that the expected Russian
mani- festo had arrived. Hearing this the Police, it is said, had made inquiries, and hearing also that the manifesto contained expressions injurious to France and England, had forbidden its publication. The phrase objected to is, that the Emperor of Russia would consider any succour, moral or material, given by England or France to Turkey, " as an insult." M. de Kisselef has had a long interview with M. Drouyn de Lhuys.

Negotiations have ceased. Had their object, -when they were in pro- gress, been rather to solve the difficulty than -to compromise it, they might have proved more effectual. As it is, Russia must retire, or Turkey must succumb. The Czar must undergo severe moral' and material cheek, or the Sultan must Iose half his demitions, and the influence of the Western nations be overthrown. These are the only alternatives be- fore the contenffing Powers.—/dem.
