Two brief telegraphic despatches are published this morning-the first of
doubtful authenticity, the second more likely to be correct. One from Vienna, of yesterday's date, states that "all foreign troops are to quit Turkey and the Principalities within six months; sooner if possible." The second, dated St. Petersburg, April 24, announces that " the Czar has definitively appointed Prince Gortschakoffi recently Ambassador at Vienna, Minister for Foreign Affairs."
Intelligence from the Allied camp, received yesterday, illustrates the new state of things in the Crimea. On the 2d instant, General Luders met the Allied Commanders-in-chief on the Tchernaya, and invited them to Mackenzie Heights ; whither they rode on horseback, and inspected the Eleventh and Twelfth Divisions. After the inspection, the party dined with the Russian Commander in his tent. General Luders pro- posed the health of the Emperor of the French, Queen Victoria, and
Victor Emanuel : Marshal Pelissier proposed the Emperor of Rus- sia. In "a long speech," says General Luders, "he expressed his vene- ration for his Majesty, and his warm sympathies for our troops : he es- pecially requested me to bring to the knowledge of the Emperor, that what he said came from the bottom of his heart.'- The officers and men freely circulate on both sides.
