TURKEY.

We have the following from Belgrade : " Simich
has been named Ministar of Justice. Since it has
been understood that the Porte will finally make con-
cessions to Russia on the question of the refugees, a
more Rubino tone prevails here, and the PniaLe is
said to have jeer signed a declaration to the effect that
he will not allow young Servians educated abroad to
ba educated anywhere but in Russia."

CONSTANTINOPLE, DEC. 19.—The Russian steamer,
the Crimea, arrived here ou Saturday from. Odessa. She has
brought the satisfactory information that the Turco-Russian
differences, so far Irom assuming a more serious 'spent, are
tending to a pacific termination. The Crimea brought des-
patches for the Russian Legation and for the Sublime Porte.
Though not acqusinted with the actual contents of these
despatches, we hove nevertheless learnt that all the persons
who leave taken refuge in the empire, in consequence of
the Hungarian war, are to be expelled, with the excep-
tion of those who haws embraced Islamism. There
now re:gains only a few of the details to b 'settled, and
these will probably be alumna at Constantinople by the
exertions of the Porte, and of the chief of the Russian lege-
tion accredited in this residence. Several couferencts have
trice place between the Grand Vizier and the Minister (or
Pori itn Affairs, with the representativse of Engirt(' and of
the French republic. The exigencies of Sir Stratford Can-
ning, and the dignified aad at the same time modcrire atti-
tude of General Anpich, have been much spoken of.—Joser-

the hope that the revision of the constitution will be

nitively constituted during the present session, in
order that the oath to the constitution may be taken

A memorial was also presented to the Chambers

England.
In the second edition of the same paper are farther

principal alterations which the ministry propose to
make. The despatches in question say that the pro-

printers, commissioners, &c. are Rot to be prosecuted.)
2. Par. 35 and 36 are to rue thus:—" The army includes
all the divisioas of the standing army and Lortehreer. In

3. Par, 105 (which Create of the parochial circle district
and provincial associations) is to receive the followieg
additioi,—" For the maintenance of peace, audio accordance
with a special law for the pumas", a parochial protective or
civic militia may be established by parochial resolution "
4 Par. 42 is to be altered rui follows; " The creation of

nisters is to run thus: " The ....this° in are responsible to ttie

BARDINIA.—In the Chamber of Turin, on the
6th, the addraw in reply to the king's speech was
voted. It is as follows :

, - - -
Sire,—The harmony fortunately existing between the
prince and his people is a fact of ancient date in the monarchy
of Savoy. The interests of the nation ware ever sacred to
the prises. This people loved a monarchy whose aim it was
to improve the moral and physical condition of the country ,
to maintain its independence and guard its honour. This
fait, which is rare in the history of nations, will, we are
amend, never cease to salmis.. Nay, we are convinced that
the constitutional system, happily introduced by the mag-
nanimous Charles Albert, will offer the people more fre-
quent opportunity of confirming it; and already among
other proofs of affection, your majeety justly reminds us of
the electors, who hastened in numbers to answer your appeal
in order to take a part in one of the most hoportant acts of
political life, the election of deputies. The cor.filence of the
saiim is worthily placed in you, sire, who with such intense
affection and determined zeal have united your destiny
with ours. Your majesty may rely open meeting with the
Dame harmony in the deliberations of parliament, which will
be carried on with the conscientious sincerity which iOlllllll
the basis of good constitutional government, and will lacili
tate interior reforms, increase the public credit, and promos
our friendly relations with foreign powers. To maintain in
its integrity our liberty and independence, while we cJesider
you, sire, as the first champion in that cause ; to defend re-
ligion, without which liberty perishes, and society is dis-
solved; to promote elementary instruction, that the propli
may learn to know their rights and duties, end to iliitinguish
true liberty from insubordination to every authority, their
true friends from those who would attempt to corrupt and
mislead them; to improve, as far as circumettne, s u ill ad-
mit, the condition of the poorer classes; to provide auainst
the penury of the treasury without injuring the sources or
reproduction ; to introduce into the public departments
the rreorms which are called for by the constitutional sys-
tem. Such are, sire, the points to which in our opinion the
attention of government and the severe scrutiny of parlia-
ment should be turned. The Senate promises you, sire, its
prompt and loyal support. It has full conlideoce in thi. king
and con‘titu ion ; it is cot vinced that this generous and
prudent nation will show Europe that it is fit for the t t r-
aise of the pricious rights which it has been calla t upon to
