Critical State of Affairs in the

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

Numerous arrests have been made at Stamboul in
consequence, it ie stated, of the discovery of • con-
spiracy against the Sultan.
The new Note of the Porte has aroused at the
Embassies the utmost india,tation. It is considered
an insolent defiance to Europe, and a formal declare.
tion of the rejection of the reforms drawn up by the
Commission for European Turkey. The reasonable
party amongst the Turks are themselves indignant at
such • reply.
The commanders of the International Fleet, at
tted t anchored In the Bay of Taodo, have been
to hold themselves In readiness to depart in
48 hours for a fresh destination.
Vioe-Admiral Sir F. Beauchamp Seymour on
Saturday, after receiving instructions from London,
summoned all the admirals and commanders of the
International Fleet separately on board the Alexandra.
The German and French ambassadors have had an
Interview with the Sultan, in which they endeavoured
to induce his Majasty to yield to the wishes of the
Power.; but the result is not known.
It is 'asserted that Russia is the only Power that has
unconditionally adopted the proposals of the English
Cabinet in referent* to Turkey.
Saturday evening's Pall Mail ensette contained the
following
We understand that the English Government is
now acquainted with the views of all the Powers on
the coercive measures by which it is proposed to secure
the fu,filment of the treaty obligations of the Porte.
The naval operations in the iEgean, by which it is
hoped to exert and effective pressure on the Sultan, are
approved by all the Powers, and will be carried out
with their sanction. The execution of the decision of
the European concert will be entrusted to the fleets of
at least three Powers, who will act as the mandocries
of Europe."
Since the presentation of the Porte's lest Note the
Ambassadors have held • conference, at which the
strongest disapprobation at the attitude of the Turkish
Gtorminnotat was unanimously exposseed. Austrian
and German Ambassador,, are nevertheless endeavour-
ing to induce the representatives of the other Powers
to avoid hasty action-
It is understood in diplomatic circles that Austria and
German would firmly oppose isolated action on the
part of y_ Bngland and Russia, and would even prefer
ultimately to join them to seeing them act alone.
The Sultan has declared that he will abdicate rather
than yield to the wishes ef the Powers. His Majesty
has had a protracted interview with Admiral Hobart
Pasha.

he felt "gout all over, and was advised to go home,
instead of which it is said he stayed about in the co'd
and rain. He was iinmediately after attacked with
severe iafiamination of the lunge, and y Sunday night
his medical attendant, Mr. Edward Turner, saw no
chance of escaping a fatal termination, and this, we
regret to say, was reached on Monday afternoon.
As Chairman of the Police Committee of County
Magistrates Mr. Littlehalia was well-known at Quarter
Sessions, and some few years since he was prominent in
the field of the 8.V.11. lie was very attentive to
his es-officio duties as a Guardian, and presided at a
meeting of the School Attenda,ce Committee on the
Thursday week preceding his death. Mr. Littlehales
was a cousin of the late Sir Edward Baker, and of the
present Sir Talbot Biker, of Ranston, whose father,
the first Baronet, Sir Edward Littlehales. assumed the
name of 13aker in 1817. lie WM in his 77th year, and
had been a magistrate of Dorsetehire since 1864. As •
magistrate he was clear-headed, patient, and without
bias, whilst his courteous manner and kind heart
endeared him to all who had the pleasure of his
acquaintance. His loss is very deeply regretted.
