TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 23.—1 t is asserted that Ali
Pasha, the Sultan's brother-in-law, is to go on a special
mission to St. Petersburgh.
The Ottoman fleet commanded by Aohmet Pasha, is
concentrated in the Bosphorus. The arrival of the
Egyptian contingent, of from 25,000 to 30,000 men,
was expected.
SCUTARI, IN ALBANIA, MAY 24.—Omer Pasha has
issued marching orders to the bulk of his army. Only
three battalions will remain in the pashalik. Omer
Pasha himself is about to proceed to Monastir.
Advices from Constantinople state that a manifesto is
about to be published by the Turkish Government, con-
taining a detailed account of the present state of affairs.
It is also reported that after the departure of Prince
Menschikoff, a high functionary had been dispatched to
St. Petersburgh by the Porte, in order to furnish the
Emperor with any explanation required.
All the Paris journals of yesterday contain articles
upon the Eastern question. The Constitutionnel notices
as follows the admissions of the Debats in its article of
yesterday on the Eastern question :
"The Journal des _Wats has received some fresh infor-
mation from Constantinople as to the demands of Russia.
But this last information has no doubt come by sea, for it
is of a quite different character from the news which it
declared had come to it by land. This information
does not teach us anything new, for it merely confirms
what we have not ceased to repeat, namely, that the
protectorate claimed by Russia in favour of the Greeks
is of quite a different character from the protectorate of
France in favour of the Latins. But it is not useless to
declare that the Journal des 'Mats, better informed by its
letters by sea than by its news by land, is forced to admit
that the demands of Prince Menschikoff relate to quite
other things than purely religious privileges, and that in
reality the rights and immunities which the ambassador of
the Czar desired to make the object of a synallagmatical
constitute a bond fide civil and administrative juris-
diction."

The Assemblee Nationale expresses a fear that the
Emperor of Russia will take offence at the language of
some of the English and French journals, which
have taken the liberty to remonstrate with, and
even to menace him. The Assembles asks what could
be done for Turkey if the Emperor Nicholas should
think that he is bound by a sense of his dignity to per-
severe after the defiance that has been thrown out by
these journals.
