TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 2t.
The Egyptian question is likely to be settled in
the most satisfactory way. The last letter or the
Grand Vizier to Abbas Pasha says clearly that the
Porte cannot acknowledge the right of Aldus Pasha
to enter into negotiations with foreign emissaries,
involving the interests and resources of the country
for the future, but if the Pasha applies to the Porto
for the permission of the construction of a railway,
the Porte will grant this permission, under tho
lowing conditions:
1. That the railway should be made out of the
regular income of the province, and that it never
should be a pretext for the heavier taxatiou of the
people.
2. That the native workmen should lie paid, and
work for wages; the work should not be a compul-
sory and gratuitous one.
3. The administration of the railway must re-
.

main in the hands of the regular authorities, not in
those of foreigners.
This ultimatum shows clearly that the Porte is no
enemy of the railway scheme, but that she cannot
allow that it should become a pretext to make
Abbas Pasha, the hereditary viceroy, an independent
prince.
Lord Palmerston has taken now the same view.
Sir Stratford Canning has delivered a dispatch to
the Porte,wherein the Foreign Secretary ink no w
the rights of the l'orte. The pretensions of tip
Consul-General at Alexandria arc thus checked, and
Sir Stratford enjoys now the same unbounded influ-
ence as he had before. When tho difficulties wore
more threatening, Mehemet Pasha, the late ambits.
sador at London, was summoned front his Piuihalik,
Aleppo, in order to proceed to England to settle this
Alin., but now he is likely to return again to

Aleppo.
Mons. Ustinoff is expected here at Constantinople,
to remain ud interim until the ambassador, M. Titoff,
returns from his secret mission, which is to be tho
counterpart of Lord Minto's far-fitmed mission. Ho
goes first to Naples, but it is said that he will visit,
"on account of his health," all the other courts of
Italy, and go even to Paris. In the meantime tho
principalities and Bulgaria arc overrun by Russian
I agents and emissaries; their chief is the Chamberlain,
M. Buttiano, who since IsPi has his bead aptarters
at Bukarest. The importance of the principalities
you may perceive also by the recent appointment of
M. Girseh, the cunning secretary of the Russian le.
gation at kanstantinope, as consul-general at Yassy,
in Moldavia.

Fethi Ahmet Pasha, who occupies himself with tho
practical improvements in the empire, has sent a
distinguished surveyor to Varna, on account of a
high-road to ho constructed from this seaport to
ltustshuk.

The disgusting disputes about the Holy Sepulchre
are to be settled by a compromise of the interested
communities, without foreign interference.
The great questions which now occupy the Porto
are the establishment of the bank, the loan, and tho
regulation of the taxes. The result is yet unknown.
The opinion prevails here that the two Emperors
of Itussta and Austria have formally promised their
support to Louis Bonaparte for his ambitions schemes,
and eventually assured to him an honourable posi-
tion either in Russia or Austria, in case he should
fail. So much is certain, that all the French
matical agents side always with the Russians.
Two divisions of Russian gunboats have anchored
at Akierman and Suliac, at the mouth of tho
Danube.
