TURKEY.

A despatch from Constantinople announces the
death of M. Sokolski, the Bulgarian Bishop, whose
recent conduct produced such deplorable results.
He died in the convent near Kberson, to which he
had retired, on leaving the Turkish capital.

The government of the Sultan has addressed a
circular to its ministers at the different European
courts, justifying its proceedings against the Mon-
tenegrins. It states that it has exhausted every
moans of concession and moderation, in endeavour-
ing to prevent the grievances caused among its sub-
jects by this little Principality. The Porte is
bound to protect those subjects against violence,
and the continual disorders arising from the
attacks and excursions of the Montenegrins. It
is now under the necessity of having recourse to
arms, and Omar Pacha has received orders to
commence the operations, and press them vigo-
rously. Finally, Turkey appeals to the justice of
Europe, and expects its approval of the course
adopted.
