    A WINTEH campaign on the banks of the XI Danube , should that river be frozen over , is anticipated by the Times ; and the undecided state in which the recent hostilities has left the position of the two parties to the conflict , renders such a campaign probable , should the weather permit . The Turks are evidently not only willing to continue the war , but ardent to do so , from motives of chivalrous indignation ; and the Hussian officers will "be impelled by the stern orders

    of the Emperor , for Russia will no doubt do her best to accumulate forces , in order to retrieve the credit of her arms . The position of Turkey is now much better understood . The setting in of the rains has evidently been the more general cause why Omer Pacha has withdrawn part of his troops from the left bank of the Danube ; and tins must apply more particularly to the lower

    portion of the river , at Oltenitza . This reason appears to have been strengthened by the concentration of a very great Itussian force , far outnumbering the force which Omer Pacha held , and rendering it undesirable to risk a battle at the particular point , and so to undergo a defeat without adequate motive , or without any real inefficiency in the Turkish forces generally . The whole account of the affair now shows that tho Russians mado

    enormous efforts for the purpose of driving back tho Turks , and with all those efforts they could not prevent the Turks from destroying their entrenchments , and from retreating in perfect order without molestation . Those simple facts imply very great ability on tho part of Omer Pacha , and , of course , proportionate inoflicioncy on tho part of tho llnsaianH , notwithstanding their efforts , Tho Turks remain in . Lesser Wallaohia , whoro

    tho ground is higher , and where they have established themselves in greater force than at Oltenitza , and with complete communication across tho r ivw . Tho recent hostilities , therefore , leave tho position of tho Turks greyly improved ; while tho Russians may be Haul to havo tho enemy partially within their own ground , and ( liey havo Huil ' oml severely in their moral influence . The tyranny in which they still persevere , —( he forced wilistmonta , the execution of capital punishment ttp ° n doRcrtcrH , and tho nmiiiLonance of umrtinl law throughout the Princinalitien , —in riot likely to inereuHo their mil strength ; and it may bo

    expected that they will be harassed by many kinds of attack besides that directly brought from Turkey . The position of Austria in many resi ^ ects is becoming more equivocal , and her neutrality more than doubtful . Servia is now understood to have declared herself neutral ; and there is a probability that she may maintain that neutrality . The

    sincerity of Servia is th e more likely , since she might , with some degree of reason , declare herself willing to take part with Austria , whatever side Austria might take . For the Emperor Francis Joseph has been strengthening his troops on the Servian frontier , and is evidently preparing for the time when he may absorb that coveted portion of the Turkish dominions .

    We speak with the more suspicion of his professions of neutrality from the part which he has taken in giving importance to the reunion between the Count de Chambord and the Duke de Nemours . The most active member of Louis Philippe's family has at last accomplished his wish , in being received by the descendant of St . Louis . They have exchanged moi'ning calls , and tho Count has introduced the Duke to tho Emperor of Austria , who received the prince of the

    halfrevolutionary house of Orleans " affectionately . " The Duke had recently" come from Turkey . He is a person of no importance in Europe , unless it may bo as a disturbing cause , to be used against the Emperor of tho French . The Count de Chambord retains some very slight hold upon the political superstition , it may bo called , of the French peasantry—very slight indeed ; but ho is physically weak , and intellectually null . By the union tho Duke attains tho shadow of a position in

    France ; and tho King Henry tho Fifth acquires Homcthing of porsonal ability ; so that , clubbing together , they may hope , liowovor absurdly , to do something in Franco . But what can tho Emperor of Austria want with tliom P To damage Louis Napoleon ; who i »' , with England , tho . great support of Turkey . Sue-li is » uOl . LA ; - \ .-ut , i- '' ¦ ¦<• . the profoHBOtl neutrality < .: . untria is holloW / a ^ d that she is still subserving oho purposes of RuHHift . Meanwhile , Louis Na&oleon , maintaining his

    allinuoo with England niid . hi « vigorous position in tho EttHt , is busying hiniMolf about tho welfare of Franco . Ho has organized a system of medical relief for tho indigent ; sick , and an that irt coupled with relief in . the shape of food and clothing , tho mnv plan amounts to a species of

    [ out-door relief , under the administration of medical officers . This is an economical way of meeting the severer inflictions of the coming winter . The Moniteur has set forth how impossible it is for the French Government to feed the people , which must feed itself by the exercise of its own . productive industry . There appears no probability that the supplies of grain will be short of absolute necessity in France , and if prices are high , trade and employment are both good . An official decree in tho Moniteicr takes steps to

    increase the activity of industry in France , by abating the duties on h'on and coal . The reductions are made in different proportions on iron , ranging from ten to more than forty per cent . ; and they include pig , bar , and sheet iron , and rails . One of the greatest wants in Franco at present is railways , and enterprise in the construction of lines is active . The grand obstacle has been the excessive price of iron , coupled with the high price of coals . After tho recent dispute with Belgium , tho duty on iron and coal from that country remained at a comparatively moderate rate ; but the supply lias not been

    sufficient for French purposes . Great Britain is now placed on a level with Belgium , and ample supplies may bo expected to be sent from this country , with a proportionate stimulus to employment in Franco . This stop is very important as a commencement . Tho effect will bo watched by the wine-growers , who have already pressed for these very reductions , and who will not fail to urge upon their own Government negotiations for a reduction of wine-dutios in this country ,

    which will probably bo concodod in greater proportion than tho French reduction juat mentioned . Doubts have boon expressed m London whether tho effect of tho reduction on coals would not bo to increase tho price , and n eon temporary has shown that hucIi a remilt ; in nob probable . " Whatever effect of that kind may follow , " says the C'W' \ "it will be Blight-in eoinnmuHOn to the advant ;;< > . " '> tho com ! . trade will receive .
