at Beyrouth, on the part of some fanatics, who,
thank; to the energy of the governor, had been
punished in an exemplary manner.
The Constitutionnel says :—" We have already
stated that several solutions of the difference with
Turkey had been proposed to Russia. Without
entering into a useless detail to show in what these
propositions differ one from the other, we may
state that they are summed up in these two points :
guarantee by the Porte to Russia for the privileges
of the Greeks ; guarantee by Russia to Turkey and
to Europe for the integrity of the Ottoman Em-
pire. At present it is from St. Petersburgh that
the reply is to come, since these propositions have
been made in accord with the Porte."
The Cologne Gazette, under date of Vienna, 15th,
says :—" A circular dispatch has been received
here, addressed by the Ottoman Porte to its am-
bassadors, on the occupation of the Danubian prin-
cipalities by the Russian troops. It results from
it that the Ottoman Porte will not yield to the pre-
tensions of Russia. Yesterday a battalion of in-
fantry and a train of pontoons left for Peterwardein;
another battalion will leave this afternoon, and the
remainder will follow in a few days. The Chamber
of Commerce has been requested by the Minister
of War to point out to him persons who would un-
dertake the supply of lint for the army. The
Duke of Genoa, who is now in Saxony, is expected
here in a few days with the Archduchess Sophia."
The Weser Gazette of Berlin, of the 15th, says :
—" We learn from a source worthy of credit that
the Turco-Russia difference may be considered as
terminated • the Ottoman Porte being ready to
sign the ultimatum of Russia, and the cabinet of
St. Petersburgh having declared that no prejudice
to the sovereignty of the Sultan shall arise there-
from."
The Wanderer of Vienna states, that on the 10th
the head quarters of the Russian army were at
Bucharest, and the troops, about 80,000 in number,
were encamped around the town. It adds, that
though the heat was excessive, there was little
sickness amongst the soldiers, and that the supplies
of provisions were assured.
A letter from Constantinople states that the Earl
of Carlisle, a few days after his arrival at Constan-
tinople, left that city for Broussa.
A supplement of the Journal de Smyrne of the
7th contains an interesting account of the circum-
stances which followed the arrest of the Hungarian
refugee, M. Costa. In another article the same
journal announces that his Highness Ali Pacha
has been summoned to Constantinople, and is to
be replaced by another Pacha as Governor of
Smyrna. It expresses deep regret at this decision,
and says the same regret is felt by all the respect-
able inhabitants of Smyrna, whether Mussulman
or Christian. As a proof of this it publishes
an address to Ali Pacha, which was in the
course of signature, and had already received
the names of more than one hundred of the
chiefs of the best commercial houses. The
address, in fact, is of a nature to console the ex-
Governor for the course imposed upon the Sultan
by the Austrian Internuncio—more honourable
testimony was never offered to a retiring function-
ary. It recalls the circumstances under which Ali
Pacha came to Smyrna as Governor, and speaks in
the warmest terms of his energy in the then diffi-
cult attempt to restore order, of his justice, his
equity, and his moderation. After declaring that
the entire city manifests the regret evinced by the
parties signing the address, at the removal of their
Governor, the Pacha is assured that he will always
be cherished for his fine qualities and his virtues,
and is requested to accept the assurance of the
gratitude of the people of Smyrna for his eminent
and valuable services.
