TURKEY.

The English reports from Montenegro fully con-
firm the version given of the last conflict by the
Turks and Austrians. It was not, as the French
sources maintained, the Turks who passed the fron-
tier, but the mountaineers, who crossed the river to
indulge in their favourite pastime of cutting off a
few heads and noses, and the Turks contented them-
selves with driving them back across the river, with
a few killed and wounded.
The last news from Candla is of the 27th ult., and
according to it there is every chance of order being
soon restored. The rayah malcontents have all re-
turned to their homes, and their capitans renewed
their assurances of loyalty. Mahmoud Enim Pacha
was about to proceed to Candle to re-establish autho-
rity there. All the principal points in the interior
have been occupied by regular troops, which will no
doubt contribute to keep both parties from coming
to blows. Thus, unless some grievous mistake occur,
the whole of the unfortunate business may be said
to be concluded, and no mistake is to be feared with
the present commissioner, who, in spite of his age,
is a man of energy, and thoroughly acquainted
with the Cretans, whom he ruled for several years.
Ahmed Pacha, his predecessor, has returned to
Constantinople.
His Majesty the Sultan has returned from his
cruise in the Sea of Marmora. He never went beyond
the powder-mills of St. Stefano, visited the house of
the Armenian director, and dined there.
The staff of engineers destined to lay down the
telegraph wire to Asia Minor left on the 10th instant.
The Turks behaved well in the matter, and gave all
that was asked, so that there is every chance of the
work proceeding rapidly.
CANADA. -

Mr. George Brown, according to the last arrival,
had succeeded in forming a new Canadian Ministry,
but both Houses of Parliament bad passed votes of
want of confidence in it. The following telegrams
from Toronto are published in the New York papers :

TORONTO, August 2.
At the reassembling of the two houses this afternoon,
there was an immense rush for places to hear the official
announcement of the new Ministry. fhe excitement out
of doors was intense, and the Speaker had no aooner taken
his seat than all the galleries were filled with anxious
spectators.
Some routine business having been disposed of, Mr.
Patrick rose and stated that he had been instructed to an-
nounce to the house the names of the new Administration.
They were as follows :—George Brown, Inspector General
and Premier ; James Morris, Speaker of the Legislative
Council; Michel Foley, ostmaster-General ; John S.
WDonald, Attorney-General of Canada Nest; Oliver
Mowatt, Provincial Secretary ; Dr. Connor, Solicitor-
General of Lower Canada ; L. V. Drummond, Attorney-
General of Canada East ; G. B. Dorion, Commissioner of
Crown Lands ; M. Thibeandeau, Bureau of Agriculture ;
M. Lemieux, Receiver-General ; M. Laberge, Solicitor-
General of Canada East.
The names of Messrs. Drummond, Dorion, and Thi-
beaudeau elicited loud laughter and exclamations from
the supporters of the late Miuistry.
Mr. Putrick said that be was not authorized to make
any statement on that occasion of the views of the new
Government in regard to the measures before the house,
but that he hoped to do so to-morrow.
On the motion the a new writ be issued far Montreal,
vacated by Mr. Dorion's acceptance of office, Mr. Langevin
moved that the resolution be amended by adding to it the
following words
That this house, while ordering the said writ, must at the
same time state that the Administration, the formation of which
has created this vacaucy, does not possess the confidence of this
house and the country,
The amendment gave rise to a vehement debate, in
which Mr. Canchon, the Hon. Hamilton Merritt, Mr. Galt,
Mr. Morin, Mr. Peche, and Mr. Natman took part The
debate will probably last all night.
In the Upper House the conduct of the members of the
new Administration was violently assailed. In both
houses it is believed that the majority against them will be
large, although immense efforts are being made by them
to win over supporters. The only alternative left will be a
dissolution, and this the Governor-General is violently op-
posed to. You will see by the tone of the articles in the
Globe of this morning that the new Administration are
prepared to resort to extreme measures.
TORONTO, August 3.
Votes of want of confidence in the Brown-Dorion
Ministry were passed last night in both houses by large
