TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, in a German journal,
says :—" It has been rumoured that some of the fanati-
cal Turks had formed a plot for attacking the Christians
with arms on Easter-day of the Greek Church, which
this year fell on the Ist May. The rumours obtained
such general belief that some of the Foreign Ministers
made inquiries of the Porte whether there was really any
reason to apprehend anything of the kind. The Porte
answered in the negative, and added that it would
undertake to preserve order. These declarations re-
moved all fears. Disturbances, as already stated, broke
out recently between the Greeks and the Armenians, in
the temple at Jerusalem, but they were not so grave as
represented. The Porte has ordered an investigation to
ascertain the causes of, and the principal actors in, the
riot."

A letter from Smyrna, of the 27th ult., in the Sema-
phore of Marseilles, says :—" In consequence of the
menaces of Russia and Austria, all the political refugees
are to be expelled from the Ottoman Empire. This
morning the Governor signified the order of expulsion to
MM. Diamanti, advocate ; Boudoli, physician ; Storari,
engineer ; Cricca, dancing master ; and Cugini, paper
manufacturer. The same measure is about to be en-
forced with respect to the Hungarian, Wallachian, and
Italian proscripts, without any exception."

GERMANY.
An autograph letter has been received by the Em-
peror of Austria from the Pope, thanking him for the
protection accorded to the Christians in Turkey, and
expressing a hope that it would be continued. A desire
has been expressed by the Romish Court for a more
intimate union between Austria and France, as a
means of counterbalancing the increasing pretensions of
Russia.

The new Austrian law for the re-organisation of the
East India Consulates has received the Imperial signa-
ture, and will shortly be put in execution.
It is stated that the Commission, of which Count
Rechberg is president, has been instructed to make a
list of those persons who have been affected by the re-
cent decree of sequestration in Lombardy, which mea-
sure is to be put in force against those only who shall
be proved to be culpable.
An emeute recently occurred at Brunswick, originat-
ing in two persons having been taken into custody, in
consequence of approaching too closely to the military
arsenal with lighted cigars. The military were com-
pelled to charge on the mob, and several arrests took
place.
The members of the Opposition party in the Hessian
Second Chamber still threaten to vacate their seats, in
consequence of the recent expulsion of three of their
colleagues. The Government has decided that in case
of resignation, the expenses attending the election will
fall on the deputy. The police exercise a strict surveil
lance over the residences of the members, and every re-
union is strictly prohibited.
