TURKEY.

Mehemet Ali Pasha, brother in- law of the Sultan,
has been appointed to the Ministry of the Marine,
in the place of Hali Pasha, who-has been dismisseii.
This change cawed a great sensation at the Porte.
It is said that the Ministry will- he -shortly- com-
pleted by the addition of Milstapha. Pasha as Pre-
sid-.ut of the Council, and Veli Pasha as Minister
of Commerce. The removal of Izzet Pacha, Minis-
ter of Police, is also talked of. The following day
the Sultan paid a visit to Mehemet Ali, with whom
he had a long conference. Mr. Thouvenel called
on him also, and the Austrian Ambassador will
shortly follow. The appointment of IVPhernet Ali
was put off out of deference to Lord Stratford de
Redc.iffe, who has been absent for some days in the
Crimea,- not that there is any danger of the renewal
of that personal influence so much to be complained
of formerly. The best feeling exists between the Eng-
lish and French Ambassadors. M. Thouvenel, being
the only man in France who fully understands th,,,
Eastern question, will know how to keep up that
influence, which cost us rather dear, but which is
firmly established. • The good effects of the appoint-
ment of Mehemet Redschid Pacha bcgin to be al-
ready felt at the Ministry of War. He has freighted
a number of vessels for the conveyance of provisions
and ammunition for the army of the Danube.
Riza Bey, a Councillor of the Ottoman Embassy at
Paris, is named Minister Plenipotentiary to the
Court of Athens. Omer Pacha has not yet left for
the Crimea. Achmet Pacha, who succeeds him in the
command of that army, sailed on the 29th

morial to- the Porte, in which they demand the
restitwion of the property of the Greek convents
that had been confiscated under the Phan ariot
Princes. We have news from the Crimea to the 28th.
A considerable number of sick and wounded have
been sent to France, and whenever such an order
comes from the Crimea an important action is
about to take place. Since the affair of the 16th,
the Russians occupy the heights of Belbek. Our
army is every night under arms. We are =dental
expecting an attack. The sanitary state of the
army is satisfactory. We are so close to the ditch
of the Malakhoff tower that the formidable bat-
teries from which we suffered so much can 13°
longer injure us ; but, on the other hand, those .
the opposite side keep up a constant fire and wound
our sentries in the trenches. Our batteries cause
them daily immense loss.
