TURKEY.

The Paris Monikur of the 26th says that a tele-
graphic despatch from Constantinople of the 17th
announces that the arrangements proposed by M. de
Lavatette, relative to the affair of fripoli and to the
other representations of the same kind, with which
he was charged, have been accepted by the Ottoman
Porte.

The Constitutionnel says :
We receive by the Lyeurgue, which arrived at Marseilles
on Monday. letters from Coustantinople to the 10th. It
was thought that fresh changes might follow those which
had just taken place in the Turkish ministry. The presence
of Suleyman Pacha at Constantinople led to the idea that
he might soon become tither grand-admiral or presi-
dent of the Superior Council of Justice, posts which
he has already occupied. The general opinion was
also that the ministers of finance and of commerce

would, with difficulty, preserve their portfilios.
Chalet-Bey, secretary-general of foreign affairs,
was named mouatechar to the grand visir ; but it was much
feared that he would not be equal to the duties of the situ-
ation. It was said that a diplomatic note, handed in by the
Marquis do Laralette to the minister of (emirs affairs, had
led to the change of ministry. In that note, the ambassador
enumerated in energetic terms the causes of complaint
which out government had against the Porte, and de-
mending a prompt reparation ; declaring that France
was resolved to take decisive measures, if haste was not
made to satisfy her demands; that, as a commence-
meat, a squadron had been sent to Tripoli, and that
another would probably proceed to Trevesa ; sad
that the Charlemagne bad orders to take her departure at
once for the expeditionary squadron at Tripoli. This lan-
guage explains the abrupt departure of the Charlemagne,
which left Constantinople on the Bth, without saluting the
town, which fact produced a great satiation amongst the
Turks. This note being communicated to the Sultan, led,
it is said, to a demand for explanation,' from the Grand
Visir, which not being satialoetory led to the fall of
nesehid.Pacha. The causes of complaint on the part of
France were, it is said, four: the affair of Tripoli, that of
Janina, that of the murder of Father Basile, and lastly, the
ill-treatment of M. Duvernoy, a Frenchman. M. de Lava-
letto waited for the departure of the Charlemagne to de-
mand a categorical reply to his note, not wishing to have
the air of profiting by the presence of that vessel to con-
, tinue his negoliatioas.

MALTA, AUGUST 17.
An unexpected arrival from Constantinople by a
French steamer enables me to write a few lines. I cannot
understand that her arrival is in any way connected with
political movements, but simply commercial. The American
toinisterhas arrived at Athens, and the Cumberland frigate,
with the broad pennant of Commodore Btringham, arrived
in our port yesterday, running up to her anchorage in beau.
tiful style. She saluted the forts and port admiral. She
will leave us again on Thursday for Naples, I believe.
A solemn mass was celebrated on the morning of Sunday
last in the church of the Madonna del Carmine, which has
given rise to much comment, it being quite a new thing,
and got up for the nonce. The French consul thus ad-
dressed his colleagues The Prince President of the
French republic has decreed that • national fide shall-be
annually celebrated on the 15th August." The French
consul, in censequence, hu the honour to beg your assist-
ance at a solemn mass to be sung at eleven o'clock on Sun-
day nest, at the Church of the Carmcs, for the prosperity
of the country and the preservation of the head of the state.
