TURKEY.

Letters which have reached Paris from Constanti-
nople (says the Constitutionnel) announce that great
irresolution reigns in the councils of the Ottoman
Porte. It was generally expected in the Turkish
capital that Reschid Pailoa would soon return to office.
A letter from Constantinople of the 31st ult., says :
—" The Greeks have succeeded in preventing the
ratification of the arrangement respecting the holy
places, and fearing
new changes have exerted their
influence to procure the dismissal of Reschid
On the 28th ult., however, he was appointed Presi-
dent of the Council of State, in place of Rifaat-Pacha,
who has been dismissed."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Snt,—Abuse enough—surely even more than enough,
though all be damned for saying hold!—has now been
hurled at the head of the Prince President of the
French Republic, and in sufficiently scurrilous and offensive
language, to satisfy the fondest lover of liberty or the
wildest hater of despotism.
Let us then hope, now that the hurry and folly of our first
moments of excitement and indignation are passing away,
we may not be carried deeper into this stream of improper
feelings,
interference with the affairs of our neibours,. leading, as it
would seem to do in the end, to very angry
actual hostilities.
May our nation now take a calm and dispassionate view
and of t
of the position of the French people,he leader they
have selected.it not to
In order to do this, let us for a moment consider what
were the avowed opinions of Louis Napoleon before he had
any prospect of becoming the Chief of the French nation;
and let us ask ourselves what reason or right we have to
conclude or suspect even that his views and ideas are changed
either from his own avill or from force of circumstances.
If any of your readers, Sir, will give themselves the
trouble of turning to a pamphlet entitled "lies Idees Na-
poleoniennes," they will find an answer for ell those
who have taken it into their head to suppose that Louis Na-
poleon has the least wish to become a great conqueror in
war. His ambition is great, no doubt, to carry out the
peaceful views of his uncle.
exclaims, " mais his n
n'est pas mort,"—and rightly,
therefore, do we ask what the nephew's opinions of that
spirit may be. Hear his own words, and let us trouble him
no more in his fancied
