It in rumoured that Messrs Eothsehilds "ave agreed to advance to the Turks two Millions sterling af-ainst a new tax of two I Piastres per e.iise on petroleum, According I to a u other rumour Russia is to receive one f Million on account o» the sums due in cou- beeliaa with the war indemnity, aud that lb" Russian Government has effectively, although informallv guaranteed Messrs.
