THE SULTAN AND THE CONGRESS.

The Independance Beige has the following :

" The reply of the Sultan, whish was reported to be in
the hands of the French Government, was only forwarded
on the 3d December, and Musurus Bey, the Turkish Am-
bassador to London, who was on leave of absence at Con-
stantinople, is charged to bring it to Paris. A first reply
had (been drawn up, but, to put it in accordance with the
present :condition of the question of the Congress, it has
been modified by the Privy Council. This modification, we
learn by private advices from Constantinople of the sth, is
the following effect :—The Sultan declares that he does not
decline to take part in the Congress if he can thereby con-
tribute to consolidate the principle, already proclaimed by
Europe, of the integrity of the Ottoman Empire. This re-
serve excludes from the programme of the Congress the
question of the Danubian Principalities and of Servia,
which it was supposed would have been brought forward."
