TURKEY.

The Levant Herald of the 25th ult. says :—" We
have reasons to believe that the Turkish govern-
ment has decided upon establishing at Constanti-
nople a distinct law court in the form of a Tribunal
of Arbitration, for the purpose of settling in an
equitable manner all commercial disputes and dif-
ferences, whether between the Porte and foreigners,
or between Turkish subjects and foreigners resi-
dent in the Ottoman dominions. The con will
consist of three members—an English barrister,
and a French and a German advocate. Wo
have heard the names of these gentlemen who have
been selected for this new judicial office ; and we
understand the salary of each has been fixed at
1,2001. a year. This institution may, no doubt, be
made productive of great future benefit. It will
save the Porte the frittering away of large sums in
protracted wrangles about contracts ; litigations on
questions of personal, commercial, and international
contention will be considerably shortened, justice
will be promptly administered, and both the public
and the government will reap the benefit."

THE MEXICAN QUESTION.
PARIS, F. 5.

The Moniteur of to-day publishes a oOrrespond-
enoe from Mexico, which contains an extract from
a letter addressed by the Archduke Maximilian, on
the 4th November, to General Almonte, stating
that his resolution is well washed.
The &dykes also announce the departure of a
fresh deputation commissioned to offer the Arch-
duke the ratification by the Provinces of the vote
of the Assembly of Mexican Notables, which was
the condition laid down by the Archduke for his
acceptance of the crown.

The same authority holds out the prospect of the
early adhesion of Generals Doblado, Drags, and
Etchegaray, to the new empire.

" M. Guizot," says the /edipeadance, "has read
to the French Academ► an interesting fragmeet from the
volume of his ' Memoirs,' which is to be published shortly.
This extract contains an account of M. Guisot's entry into
the ministry in 1840. and a relation of the ooeveysoes of
the remains of the Emperor Napoleon I. to Paris. IL
Oairot, in referring to the profound security which Louis
Philippe appeared to enjoy at that period, admits the im-
prudent coafidsece which go►ernments often place is them-
selves."
