TURKEY

MARSEILLES, Feb. 23rd

Advices have been received from Constantinople
to the 16th inst. There has been another despatch
of troops to the Danube. Government is
arming- six frigates, and preparing numerous
transports. The destination of these vessels,
in case of the outbreak of war, would be
the ports of the Adriatic. The attitude of
Roumelia appears to be threatening. Several
Colonels have been sent thither charged with a
mission to enforce the payment of taxes. Sir
Henry Bulwer, it is said, had remitted to the
Porte a note, expostulating against the disordered
condition of the finances. Reports are still current
respecting a change in the ministry. The position
of Omar Pacha in the neighbourhood of Bagdad is
critical, the Arabs having surrounded him still
more closely.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.

THE GOVERNMENT OF THE POPE,

A letter from Rome, of the 19th contains the
following important intelligence :
" The pontificial government can no longer
disguise the anxiety it feels about the Italian
question and its bearing upon the states of the
church. The few words addressed to M. de Hub-
ner by the Emperor on New Year's-day, and M.
de Morny's speech to the Corps Legislatif, are the
constant theme of discussion in the cabinet.
These events have led to a very serious step.
The Pope's government has renewed the demand
which it made two years ago from Bologna for the
evacuation of its territories by the troops of France
and Austria. The French and Austrian ministers
at Rome were lately requested to inform their
governments that ever since the Bologna
request the Pope had tolerated, but not
approved the presence of their forces in his
dominions. This communication was forthwith
transmitted to Paris and Vienna, and, if we are
rightly 'informed, a despatch in cypher---the only
answer yet received---has been sent from the latter
capital. This despatch has been the subject of a
long conference between M. Coloredo and Cardinal
Antonelli, and it is rumoured that after the inter-
view the cardinal wavered. According to his
original intention, a memorandum was to be sent
to all the powers of Europe, informing them that
the Pope had peremptorily called upon the two
powers to evacuate. It is thought that his holi-
ness still perseveres in the idea of sending the
memorandum, but the wording of it is to be
submitted to the Council of State, which is sitting
while I write, and that body may very possibly
think the communication already made to the
French and Austrian government sufficient for the
nresent."
