TURKEY.

The Paris Constitutionnel publishes correspondence
of March 20, from Constantinople, which contirms
the fact of Fuad Effendi not having left for Alexan-
dria. Ile had been detained by bad weather, but
was expected to sail in a government steamer on the
27th. This correspondence gives a very different
version of Fund Efkinli's instructions from the former
accounts, seconlingto which his mission was abruptly
to order that the Tanzimat should be obeyed, and in
the alternative to declare war. It states that he is
to examine the state of Egypt, and to judge whether
conformably to the demand of Abba I'acha,
the application of the Tanzimat in so far as
relates to life and death, would occasion any incon-
venience. The Porte would decide upon the report
of Fuad Effendi, and Abbas I'acha, had formally en-
gaged to submit to the decision, whatever it might
be. Fund Effendi was also to regulate the mode of
payment of the tribute, which, it is asserted, is des-
tined to guarantee a new financial combination, now
being made in Europe. Ik was also to cause the
rights of several of the heirs of Mehemet Ali, whose
property has been sequestered by Abbas Paella,
under the pretence that they formed part of the royal
domain, to be recognised. It is added, in conclusion,
that the council of -ministers had met on the loth to
I deliberate upon the final instructions to be given to
Fuad Effendi.
The French frigate Pandora, having on board
Admiral Remain Desfosses, entered the port of Con-
stantinople on March 20th, towed by the steamer
Chaptal. lie was saluted by numerous Turkish bat-
teries.

A telegraphic despatch from Zara of the Ist states
that the Scraskier Omer Pasha has arrived at Mostar
with several battalions. It is added, that he applied
immediately on his arrival to the Senate of Monte-
negro for permission to march some of his troops to
Albania through their territory by the nerds route;
but that the Senate has refused. file Montenegrins
have concluded a nine months' armistice with the
Albanians.

Constantinople journals of the 21th alt. an-
nounce the opening of the Senate and Chamber
of Samos on the 6th by the Turkish go-
vernor. For some time past this island, the popu-
lation of which is between 40,000 and 50,000, has,
though belonging to Turkey, been in possession of
the representative system of government, and the
inhabitants exercise it with great prudence and order.
The present governor, M. CoMmenes, has done much
to consolidate it. Before the formal opening of the
session, the deputies assembled in one of the princi-
pal churches of Chore, and elected their senior mem-
ber as provisional president, and their junior member
as secretary. The archbishop of the island then
administered to them the oath'of fidelity and sub-
mission to his imperial majesty the Sultan. A de-
putation was afterwards nominated to invite the
Caimacan (governor) to come to the church, and in
a quarter of an hour he arrived, accompanied by the
chief functionaries of the principality. lie was re-
ceived with enthusiasm by the deputies. The
Caimacan then read the opening speech, which set
forth the improvements which had been effected in
the administration of public affairs during the year,
and those it was proposed to adopt for promoting
public prosperity. The speech was of considerable
length, and from the minutenes with which it
entered into details on public matters, resembled
a message of a republican president. It caused
great satisfaction not only to the deputies, but
also, it is said, to the vice-consuls of England and
Russia, who were present. After the speech, the
clergy chanted the Te Drum. This was followed
by enthusiastic cries of "Long live the Sultan ! May
God grant him long and happy days!" Tho Came-
can then returned to his hotel, accompanied by the
archbishop, the vice-consuls of England and Russia,
and the great functionaries; and there he received
the congratulations of all the authorities of the
island. The deputies afterwards assembled in their
hall, and resolved to send a translation of the Cam-
macan's speech to the French newspaper at Constan-
tinople, accompanied by a letter from the president,
expressing unbounded gratitude and devotedness to
the Sultan. The Assembly was to meet on the 9th
to presumed to business.
