THE

L which the Turkish Government attempted,
by communicating the draft first confidentially
to the English and Austrian Ambassadors
in order to gain their consent for the note
explicative which was to have accompanied it. As
you know, the representations of the French Am-
bassador were so strong in Consequence that the
Ministry gave up the note explicative. But this was
not enough. As might be expected, the French
were by no means disposed to look favourably on
a project which was brought forward under such
circumstances, and at the first conference the
French Ambassador came forward with a counter-
project, which was adopted by the majority of the
Conference, but which, as is natural, will in its
details find as much opposition as the former.
While this skirmishing is going on in the private
relations of the Western Powers at Constantinople,
there is one great proof of a separation visible in
broad daylight, and this is the presence of a con-
siderable English squadron, and the absence of the
tricolor, except on the stern of the Ajaccio,.attached
to the French Embassy, and the. Roland, which
has retired deep into Beicos Bay awaiting the
departure of Feruk Khan, the Persian Anibassador,
to France. On the 28th inst., the term of six months
fixed for the evacuation of Turkey had expired, and
we were awakened by the sounds of a royal salute,
with which the magnificent two-deckerCressy saluted
the Golden Horn ; with her came in three other
:steamers, the Desperate, Harpy, and the Supply,
so that at the present moment the fleet consists
of three line-of-battle ships, the Royal Albert, the
Majestic, and the Cressy, the steam frigate Curacoa,
the steam Corvette Vulture, three gunboats, and
several . smaller steamers. The
.Riissians have
tried -to take advantage or this separation between
the movements of France and England to ask the
Turkish .Government to protest against the pre-'
sence of the Ei'glish fleet, as contrary to the
convention, but they failed in their attempt This
attempt shows, however, that they think their time
has come.
The subject of difference between the policy of
France and England in Turkey is a delicate one,
but it would be useless to disguise any longer what
everybody sees and oomments upon. On the con-
trary, publicity can only do good in this as in most
cases. The differences are mostly of a trifling
character in themselves, although the mischief
which they do is immense. They could be removed
at the present stage with the greatest ease, while
if they are allowed to go on they will undermine
the position of both the Western Powers in Turkey.
I said it often, and I repeat it again, neither of the
two separately will succeed in preventing Russia
from encroaching, for they cannot be separated
without being opposed to each other and wasting
their strength iu defeating each other, while Russia
has, besides this, always her geographical position
in her favour, which ought not to be forgotten.
The Russians have made another attempt to land
at the Serpent's Island. They sent a steamer
there to land provisions, water, and clothing for
the seven men,. as well as different materials for the
lighthouse. Captain Vansittart, of her Majesty's
ship Magicienne, the superior officer in command
of the station, went on board, and informed the
Russian commander that he could not allow him
to land, but that he was ready to take off in his
boat the provisions and clothing, but -not the
materials for the lighthouse, as the latter has been
in a perfect state since the lath of the present
month, displaying a splendid revolving light after
the -best model, and with the latest improvements.
He offered likewise to take the commanding officer
with him on shore, and allow him to-communicate
with his countrymen. While the conversation was
carried on a boat pushed off from the Russian
steamer towards the island, but was prevented from
landing, and the Russian steamer departed re
infecta, after having given over the provisions and
clothing.

NGVEMBER 3.

It is a long established custom with foreign mi-
nisters to take advantage of some formal pretext to
bring before the Sultan the suggestions which they
have to make about political affairs. At the au-
diences in which Lord Redcliffe had to arrange the
details of the ceremony of the investiture of the
Sultan with the Order of the Garter, the conver-
sation naturally turned on the state of things in
general, especially as the Sultan seemed more than
usually inclined to approach that subject. He ex-
pressed his anxiety at seeing Redschid Pasha in
power, and his disappointment at not being able to
succeed. The consequence of this was a mediation
of Lord Redcliffe, which led to several more inter-
views, but ended in the positive refusal of Redschid
Pasha, unless his conditions were accepted. These
negotiations naturally did not remain secret, and
the oars of the ambassadorial caiques now played
merrier on the waters of the Bosphorus, crossing
and re-crossing each other. But it did not stop
there,—the Austrian Enternuncio went to the
French Ambassador, and expressed his indignation
at the attempt of the British Ambassador to inter-
fere thus directly in the internal affairs of the
country, and endeavoured to induce M..Thouvenel
to join in a protest against it. The latter declined,
and the Austrian Internuncio went alone to
the Porte to assure the Ministers of his sup-
port, and thence to the Palace. He saw the
Sultan, and after having expressed it as his
conviction that no foreign influence should ever
meddle with the internal affairs of Turkey, he
ended, (not very logically, it appears) by saying he
should think it his duty to protest if the ministry
were changed. The assurances of the Sultan must
have been very tranquilising, for the Austrian
Embassy took a good deal of trouble to make it
known that the crisis was over, and everything
settled. And so it seemed, for the resignation of
the ministers was not accepted. But the result
proved that this interference was the very thing
which at last decided the Sultan to kill two birds
with one stone, and not only to obtain his long-
cherished wish to have Redschid Pasha in power,
but likewise to show that he is still Sovereign and
to punish the Austrian Internuneio for his bad
logic. Three days passed without anybody having
an idea of what was impending, when, suddenly,
the very day of the investiture of the garter,
Redschid Pasha, whose name is so connected
with England, received peremptory orders to
assume office. It was meant and taken as a
demonstration. •

As yet no changes have taken place in the
Ministry itself, and it bill probably be some time
before a Cabinet can be formed. The only mem-
ber whose dismissal Iledschid Pasha made an
immediate conditiOn of his entering into power
is the Shiek-ul Islam, who, acting as Minister of
Justice, has succeeded in three years in corrupt.:
ing the judicial. body of the whole Empire, thus
lowering the administration of justice in the eyes
of the people.
The investiture went off very satisfactorily. The
Sultan sent two masters of ceremony and several
Court carriages, in which the insignia, exhibited on
red velvet cushions, and carried by the different
members of the Embassy and the heralds, were
placed, the Ambassador and Garter King•at-Arms
having taken up the principal carriage. Lord
Lyons, Sir Henry Bulwer, and several others who
had been invited, followed in the remaining car-
riages as far as there was room, the rest (mainly
officers) rode on horseback.
The Ambassador held an allocution, which was
translated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, and
then the statutes of the order were read.

The insignia were after this handed over, a com-
promise was made between the etiquette which
forbids to touch the person of the Sultan and the
customs of the investiture, according to which the
new member must be literally invested, so all the
insignia were handed. to the Sultan with the
exception of the riband with the St. George, which
the Ambassador placed over the Sultan's shoulder,
and the garter with which he touched the Sultan's
knee.
The Sultan seemed to take great interest in the
heralds, or rather in their costumes, which he
examined with great interest after the ceremony.

PRUSSIA AND NEUFCHAIEL.

The 'resolutions adopted by the Germanic Diet
in reference to the Neufchatel affair were couched
in the following terms :
1. To adhere to the principles expressed in the
Protocol of London of the 24th of May, 1852, regu-
lating the position of the Principality of Neufcha-
tel.

"2. To request the German Governments having
diplomatic agents acredited to the Helvetic Con-
federation, to support, in the name of the entire
Germanic Confederation, in setting at liberty, as
demanded by the Prussian Government, of the
Neufohatelese arrested. in September, and urging
