Russia makes a formal declaration against the Porte.-The first battle. A formal declaration of war by Russia against Turkey has boon made. Prince Gortschakoff has sent the following note, dated April 24, to the Turkish Charge d'Affaires: "The earnest negotiations between the Imperial Government and the Porte for a durable pacification. not having led to the desired accord, my august master sees himself compell od, to his regret, to have recourse to force of arms. Be therefore so kind as to inform your government that from to day Russia considers herself in a state of war with the Porto." England will and must protect her commercial interests, and as she owns the larger pait of the Suez Canal, it is not surprising that she will employ all hor force to protect that intorust. From that protection will spring England's complicity in the European war. Mr. Layard, British Minister at Constantinople, is stated to have informed the Porto that England had guaranteed the integrity and independence of the Ottoman Em-. pire only under the conditions laid down by treaties stipulating for the exercise of control by the powers. The Porto having contested this right, it has forloited the bonefits guaranteed by these treaties and England could not interveno with her army in its behalf. An immonso crowd witnossed the removal of the Russian insignia from the portal of the Embassy at Constantinople. The Gortschakoff circular regrets that Russia finds herself under the necessity of prucoeding single handed to realize the wishes of Eu ropo. Russia has in view the im provement of the condition of the Christians and not territorial agran. dizomont. War gossip says wvhen tile Rue sians cross the Pruth the Turks will bend a large force of Circassians tc destroy the railroads. Andrassy now favors the mobiliza lion of the Austrian forces suflicient to protect Austrian interests. The Russiani army enteredI Rou manin, a disaffected province of Turkey, on Wodnecsday. The Russian naval authorities have suspended navigation betwveen the Crimea and Caucasus. Russiai lhas promised Roumnania independ ence and a royal title. The Austro -Hungarian army at Posthl is placed1 (ouchLant for any emergency. Turkey is bringing timber from Tramsylvad~ia for the bridges over the Danube. There are only 7,000 Turkish troops in Crete, and the peOople arc organized for an insurrection. The Italian squadron, which sail-. od ,from Taranta under sealed orders, is bound for Salonica. Twenty thousand Russians aro conoontrated on the Pruth, and will soon be ready to eross. Ameer, of Kiashgar, is assembling atn army on the Russian frontier of Khokand. Thet Turks Ehave made the most activo preparations for the war. The .sultan, in his proclamation to th( .army,.says: "Russia has declared war and we :are forced to take up arms. We have always wished peace, and lie. toned to tile advice of the powers in this respect, but Russia Wants to dost-oy our independence, and so, if Russi m attacks no, God, wh 0 p~rotetE rigt and 'ustice, will gr ant us5 the( vac Ary, 9ur soldiors will defond with their blood the country gained by their ancostors, and with the 1he11 of God, maintain the independ. .one of the Osmanli. The nationi 'will protect the wives and children~ of the doldiers. Should it be necos uary,'the Sultan will go to the arm and raise the standard of the Kalifat and the Sultanait. The Sultan is ready to sacrifice his life or tihe honor and independence fof the country." Thle first enigagemnent of tihe war was fought at Tchurukson, near Thatourin. After some fighting the Russians were routed, with a loss to abont edght hundred.' Ninety men wore lately brought out from Now York to Port Royal to complete the force required to run the big monitor Dictator, which will shortly leave that port for the North. VEGETINE V EGETINE has never failed to effect a cure, giving tone and strength to the system debilitated by disease. SHE RESTS WELL, SOUTH POLAND, ME., Oct., 11, 187C. ML. It. 1t. S-rEVENS: Dear Sir--I have been sakk two years with the liver complaint, and during that timo have taken a great iany different medicines but none of them did me any good. I was restless at nights and had no appetite. Since taking the Vogetine I rest well and relish my food. Can recom mend the Vegotino for what it has done for me. Yours respectfully, Mn. ALBERT RICKER. Witness of the above, Mr. Geo. M. Vaughan, Med fjrd, Mass. VEGETINE. Thousands will bear testimony (and do it voluntarily) that Vegotino is the best medical compound yet placed before the public for renovating and purifying the blood, oradiiating all humors, impurities or poisonous secretions from the system, invigorating and strengthening the system debilitated by disease; in fact, it;, is, as niny have called it, '"The Great Health Restorer." SAFE AND SURE, Mn. I. R. S-vENs ; In 1872 your Vegetine was recommend ed to me, and yielding to the perst asions of a friend, I coiscItel to try it. At the titue, I was siulering from general debili ty and nervous prostrations, superin duced by overwork and irregula"r habits. Its wonderful strengthening and curative properties seeied to affect tay debilitated system froiii the first dose, and under its persistent use I rapidly recovered, gain ing more than usual health and good feeling. Since then I have not hesitat ed to give Vegetine my most unqualified in dorsement as being it safe. sure and pow orful agent in promoting health and res toring the wasted system to new life and energy. Vegetine is the only medicine I use, and as long as I live I Dever expect to ind a better. Yours truly, W. II. CLAM K, 121) Monteroy Street, Alleghany, Pa. VEGETINE. Vegetino thoroughly' eradicates every kind of humor, andi restores the entire system to a healthy conditlon. The following letter from Rev. G. W. Manstield, formerly pastor of the Metho dist Episcopal Church, Hyde Park, and at present settied in Lowell, must convince every one who reads this letter of the wonderful curative qiualities of Vegetine as a thorough cleanser and purifier of the blood: LIYDE PAnK, MAss., Feb. 15, 1876. Mn. H .I. RSTEVENs: Dear Sir-About ten years ago my health failed through the dep!eting etfects of dyspepsia; nearly a year later I was at tacked by typhoid lever in its worst form, it settled in my back and took the 1 irm of a largo deep-seated abscess, which was fifteen months in gathering. I had two surgical operations, by the best skill in the Stato but received no permanent aure. I suffered great pain at times andi was constantly weakened by a profuse dhischiarge. I a so lost small11 pieces of boell at different times. Matters ran onl thus about seven years, till May, 1874, when ai friend recoms mienlded me0 to go to your office and1( talk with youl of the viritule of Vegetine. I did so, aind by your kindness passe I thurouigh you mamfctory, notin~g ihe inigYedients1', ec., bly whichlVll yo u mdy is 11rnueed. By whlati saw and heard I gailined somec con fIdence-in Vi gctine.( I commenfcelCd tailing it sooni after, but felt worse fromi its effects; still 1 pehr severed and soon felt it was benefitting mtie inl o'h1cr respeots. Yot I did nt see the results I de~siredl, till I had taken it falithI fully for a 'ittle more than a year. wv ien the dtiflleoulty in the hack was clured, and1( for n11inelonths I have enjoyed tile best fhecalth, I have in thlat time gained1 twenty-five lpounds oif IleshI. being heavier than ever before in my life, and I was n1t ver moa021 able to p~erttorml labor taan no0w. D)uring lhe plast few woeks I have a scrofuilouts swelling as largo as mny list gather onl aniothler part of my body. I took Vegetinle fiiully and it re miovedi it 'evel 'with the surfiace3 in a monthl. I think I shouitld have b~een cured of lmy manin trouble0 sooner if I had taken hu-ger doses, after hlaving becomio aiccustomeid to its effects. Let your pautronls troubled withiscrofula or kidney disease unrderstanud that it takes time to cure chironlic diseases, and if they will patiently take Vegetinle, it will, in my judgment, cure thoem.
