A large body of Cossacks having passed the river above Turtukai during the night to reconnoitre , were surpr ised by the Turks and cut to pieces . * Accounts from St . Petersburg describe the Emperor as incensed beyond measure at the successes of the Turks . He is resolvedto send the whole of the army now in Poland into the Principalities , while the Imperial Guard and the invalids who garrison the Russian fortresses are to supply the place of the troops so moved from Poland . The troops under General Osten-Sacken , which were to have reinforced Prince Gortschakoff ' s
army , have been otherwise disposed of , being sent to endeavour to restore the Russian prestige in the Caucasus , but letters from Galatz announce that the 4 th and 5 th corps of the reserve have quitted Bessarabia to enter the Principalities . Before they could arrive , however , it is not unlikely that Omer Pacha may be able to deal another effective blow at Prince GortschakofF . We hear of Russian movements in the North as well as in the East of Europe . The following intelligence as to the speech of the King of Sweden is important , as showing that the concentration af troops in Russian Finland and the naval squadron stationed at Helsingfors have excited the anxiety and apprehension of the Swedes : —
Stockholm , Nov . 24 . —The King opened the Diet to-day in person . His Majesty ' s speech contained the following passage : —'' Agreeably to the demands of my royal duty and the present political position of Europe , I will cause to be laid before you a statement of a complete system of defence . Such a system is imperatively called for , in order to place the country in a position to preserve its independence . "

By way of text to our article last week on the Bourbon conspiracy , take the following froni the Chronicle , which appears to lie authentic : — " On " Wednesday , the 10 th inst ., a major of cavalry , formerly aide-de-camp to the Duke de jfemours , and the Duke de Levis . met , according to appointment , at Vienna , for the purpose of deciding on the form in which the interview between the Princes was to take place . On Thursday , the 17 th , the Count de Chambord sent to Vienner-Weustadt one of his carriages , with the Count de Monti , to meet the Duke de NV ; mours . When the carriage arrived at the chateau , the Duke de Levis stood at the door , received the Duke de Nemours as he alighted , and conducted him to ' the apartments of the Prince . In the principal saloon , the members of the household were drawn up ; and so soon as
the Duke dc Nemours was heard advancing towards the door , which was half open , the Count de Chambord advanced fifteen , paces ( another account says more , and a third states that he advanced to the door of the saloon ) , the last of which was completed when the Duke entered . He took the hand of the Count de Chambord , and bent as if to kiss it . The Count took him by both hands , and in a very friendly , though very dignified , tone , said : — " My cousin , I am happy to receive your good visit . " The Duke de Nemours replied : — "It is I , my cousin , who am delighted to bo able to do now what I have so ardently desired to do long since . I declare to you in my name , and in the name of my brothers , that we recognise only one royalty in France , and that that royalty is yours ; but one throne , and that the one on which we hope soon to nee seated the eldest of our house ( Vain 6 dc notrc maison ) . "
These words were pronounced in a firm voice , and in tho presence of the numerous persons who were at the moment as witnesses in the saloons of the Prince . The Comte de Chambord , nreompnniod by the Duke de Nernourn , then entered the cabinet of the former , where they remained for three quarters of an hour . It is supposed that during their short interview they touched on the , questions most important to both . They appeared completely agreed . On taking his leave , the buke tie , Nomourn Boomed 11 attcrod , indeed overjoyed , at tho reception he met with . He
is reported to have saifl : — "I Ins duy i . s tlie brightest of my life . I remember that it is precisely the . anniversary of tho day I was named Colonel by his Majesty CliarloH X . " Perceiving tho Baron ( de Montbol ) , the Duke Haiti : — " 1 am delighted to bo uhle to congratulate you , M . lo Baron , on your constancy mid fidelity to the royal family .

The French government is believed to . have demanded of the crown lawyers a " case" for the confiscation of the estates of the Gomte de Chambord in France , by way of a reply to the Fusion . Certainly there is no reason why the Orleans family should be treated more hardly than the gentleman of the elder branch of the Bourbons .

A singular attempt at the reconciliation of science and theology , or rather of reason and Popery , took place on Sunday last in the restored church of St . GeneVieVe , formerly the Pantheon . The Archbishop of Paris , Mgr . Sibowi had revived the F&te des Ecoles , according to the custom of the University in old days . He had invited all the chief notabilities of literature , science , the arts , the professions , the press , besides all the constituted authorities of the State . Among the men of letters , M . "Villemain , Minister of Public Instruction under Ijouis Philippe ; among the philosophers , Victor Cousin was conspicuous .
According to traditional usage , the Archbishop delivered an elaborate eulogy on a Saint of the Church . Augustine was his theme on this occasion ; and in the course of his subject he dealt some severe blows at the Ultramontane and Obscurandist party in the Church ; advocating the use of the Pagan classics in education ; discoursing on the harmony of the true , the good , and the beautiful , and dexterously complimenting M . Cousin by the way ; insisting on the rights of human reason , and the human conscience , by which Socrates and other sages in Pagan times bad been able to arrive at a conception of the Deity and . of moral truth .
This discourse of the archbishop is well-timed , as Louis Napoleon is beginning to be weary of Papal arrogance . It will rankle in the heart , and give fresh gall to the pens of M .: Veuillot and his friends . Altogether , this is not one of the least curious passages in the history of the Church of St . GeneVieve at Paris . The inauguration of the railway round Paris will take place on the 12 th of December , in presence of the Emperor . The only part not yet completed is the bridge at Bercy , "But that is in . a very forward state .
An old institution , called the Congress of Bakers , has been revived in many of the departments , principally in the central districts . The chief object of the measure is to counteract the vulgar prejudice entertained by the poorer classes that foreign corn is always bad . The duty of the congress is to issue certificates of the quality of all parcels submitted to their examination .

The Prussian Chambers were opened by royal commission on the 28 th ult . The Royal speech was read by M . de Manteuffel , President of the Council . The only passage worth extracting relates to the war , and on the whole this royal and ministerial declaration on the character of Prussian neutrality is perhaps less ambiguous than might have been expected from such a source : — " Gentlemen , your labours recommence at a moment when fears exist that the peace of Europe , so happily and so long maintained , may be troubled by difficulties which have arinen in the East . " The Government of his Majesty tho King cannot and does not wish to dissimulate that these fears are founded , upon facts . Nevertheless , tho Government looks confidently at the future .
" Prussia , relying upon her own ntrongth , in which she has full confidence , will continue , as heretofore , to point in all directions her sincore and active efforts to lend to tho cause of peace and moderation in thin question , pregnant with consequences , a language as independent an impartial . Nevertheless , whatever turn ovontn may tako , Providence haa placed tho King , our gracious master , at tho head of a people really united , and niaintaincd by patriotism ; and tho Government of hiH Majesty—bo convinced thereof , gontlcmen—in all that it may have to undertake , will adopt an the exclusive guide of its eflbrtH and of its acts tho true inter

Of the four secretaries elected by the senate , three were returned by the opposition . Lord Howd ' en has resumed his post at Madrid . The reports , via Madrid , of a Miguelite insurrection in Portugal are not as yet confirmed . Such reports would always have probability in their favour

The theological disturbances in South Germany still rage . The dispute is one between Church and State , and is of old date . The Pope , some years ago , constituted an ecclesiastical province of the Upper Rhine , embracing the Papal hierarchy in the partially Protestant States of Baden , Wurtenburg , the Hessen , Nassau , and Hohenzollern , and endowed the Prelates with an authority distasteful to the Civil Governments of these States . Among other things , the Church claimed the right of presenting cures without State sanction . The State asserts the right of placing a lay-coadjutor by the side of the Archbishop of Freiburg , without
whose signature no episcopal document should be valid . This coadjutor has been refused the right of voting in the diocesan Chapter by the Archbishop , and some actual presentations without State sanction have beea made . The Government of Baden had also appointed a supreme synod for governing the affairs of the Church , and the Archbishop excommunicated the members of that Synod . Upon this , the Government arrested the recalcitrant ecclesiastics , who had read the Act of Excommunication from their pulpits . But the villagers of the Black Forest , are like the ignorant and brutal peasants throughout the Continent , bigoted and furious Catholics . When the constables came to
arrest their priests , these villagers rose and rescued the priests from the civic authorities . So the matter stands . Several bishops have publicly declared themselves on the side of the Ultramontane Archbishop of Freiburg . It is not a little remarkable that the Roman Catholic party is supported in its conflict with the Civil Power by aids of money from , among others , the Archbishop of Posen , all the Austrian bishops , and a Princess whose name is not mentioned . As the feeling throughout the province is very strong , we presume theconflict will rage over its whole extent , unless as is anticipated , it be summarily put down with a strong hand . It . may be remembered , however , that in the revolutionary rage of ' 48-49 , the Grand Duke of Baden , like other potentates , was glad to avail himself of the prestige and authority of the Papacy .

The rigours of martial law and of the state of siege are redoubled at Milan of late . The Genoa Corriere Mercantile of the 26 th ult . publishes a new notice of the Director of the P olice of Milan , enjoining the proprietors of houses in the city to close them at midnight , and in the suburbs at ten o ' clock , under a penalty of from 6 f . to 24 f . fine , or an imprisonment of from one to four days . The Opinione of Turin calls the attention of the government to tho attempts of the Jesuits to regain a footing in Piedmont , from which they wore driven in March , 1848 .

The Augsburg Gazette , in its Paris correspo ndence , relates a cancan which , if not true , deserves to be . Russian diplomatic cynicism ia certainly capable of the coup attributed to M . Kisseleff . Tbo Russian . Ambassador was recently invited to join the Emperor s , hunting party at Fontainebleau . At d 6 jedner , day , he was sitting silent and moody ; one of the 1 guests asked him what he thought of the present posturo of tho war and of affairs generally . He rep lica Russia could
that he did not see how , in any event , Buffer : for one of two things must happen' —either RuftHia would beat Turkey , in which case , tho most natural and satisfactory solution would bo found : or Turkoy would beat Russia , in which case Rwsia would appeal to France to hold out the hand of rescue to a subdued nationality , as she did to Poland in 1830 . Thifl tnot , wo repeat , doHervoa to bo true . Diplomatic and Russian cynicinm could go no further .
