CONSTANTINOPLE.

A despatch from the Turkish capital, of June
104 b, says Prince Napoleon is expected here to•

day ; he is about to march with his corps d'arsnie
upon BourgaP. General Bosquet is approaching
Adrianople with 20,000 men. All Circassia in
arms is to take part, it is said, in the projected
attack on the Crimea. The camp of Schamyl

act on the offensive. The army of Kars ie orga•

The Moniteur says :—" We have received from
Constantinople, under date of the 4th inst., the
following details, which complete and rectify the.
news given by the telegraph of the movement
which has taken place in the personnel of the
Ottoman cabinet. Reschid Pacha had lately on
several occasions tendered his resignation to the
Sultan on the plea of ill health. In consequence
of the combination which has been adopted, ReB-

ANTICIPATED RECALL OF THE BRITISII
AMBASSADOR AT CONSTANTINOPLE•
We find the following in the letter of the Paris
correspondent of the Times :

"I have alluded in some of my recent letters to
the reports relative to the British Ambassador at
Constantinople, and to the dissatisfaction which was
said to exist between him and some members of the
Government, or rather the diplomatic corps.
deed, most of the private communications which
have been received from thence within the last
month or so speak of the untenable nature of his
position, and of the wish pretty generally expressed for,
his recall. Of the justice • I these complaints I am,
course, unable to say anything, nor can I decide whether
they are merely attributable to the spirit of party, 1111. d
to the hostility excited against the Ambassador by Do
opposition to or preference of certain persons. I 001/,
know the fact that complaints have been made, and
that they proceed from different quarters. In my
letter a few days since I mentioned the report pre-
valent at Constantinople of the probable recall of
Lord Stratford—an event which has already been
considered less doubtful since the retirement of Red'
schid Pasha, of whom he was admitted to be the most
strenuous supporter and protector. lam now informed,
on rather good authority, that a correspondence has bees
exchanged for the last four or five days between the
French and English Governments on that subject, and,
that Rot later than Friday last the former presse.e•
most earnestly, and in a
_formal manner, the necessity
of recalling the English Ambassador. Whatever be
the real ground of this demand, it is probable that
the fact of the diplomatic business of France being nee.
entrusted to a single Chargé d'Affaires at Constantir
p'e will be the reason officially given for the English
Government ceasing to have any one of higher rank la
that capital. It may also be urged by this Cabinet,
that the French Government did not hesitate to recall
General Baraguay erliilliers when the necessity for
doing so was made apparent, and that the English Govern-
ment can scarcely refuse to do the same. A passage In
the Ministerial journal Le Pays would seem to confine'
the information that has reached me on that point.
'People are surprised at Constantinople,' observes the
Pays, that whilst France very properly thinks that
at the moment when active operations commence on
the field of battle it was to the General-in• Chief that
the supreme direction of diplomatic questions ought
to be left, that England has not thought it right to
adopt the same system.' It is not thought here that
the English Government will refuse to comply with the
request."

CONVENTION BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND

THE PORTE.

A telegraphic despatch from Vienna, dated 19th
inst., says :—" The convention has been concluded
at Constantinople between Austria and the Porte
relative to the Principalities. Its principal condi-
tions are said to be that, if Russia voluntarily re-
tires, the Austrian troops will enter the Princi-
palities, and form a defence between Russia and
Turkey. If Russia refuses to retire, Austria will
take such steps as may appear necessary to insure
her doing so."
A letter from Paris says those whom scarcely
any solution of the crisis, whether by arras
or negotiation, would please, affect to believe
that if the occupation of the Principalities
by Austria take place, it will be solely with
the view of preventing the allied forces from
occupying them, and not from any real intention of
commencing hostilities against Russia. Private
letters from Vienna mention that in certain poli-
tical circles it is asserted or anticipated that the
answer of Russia to the summons to evacuate the
Principalities will be conditional, and that the
Cabinet of Berlin will consequently employ all
its influence with Austria to dissuade her from
advancing at once against Russia, but rather to
wait until the explanations, or conditions on which
she would comply with that summons, be duly ex-
amined and deliberated upon. And the opinion of
the persons alluded to, and who are avowedly
friendly to Russia, is that Austria will not refuse
compliance. This, however, is not the opinion
here ; and the French Government appear to be-
lieve that Austria will not stop short in the path
she has traced out for herself. Indeed, Prussia
is not much thought of in the matter at all;
mice sure of the frank co-operation of the other
great German Power, there is no alternative left
for Prussia but to follow on, and, as matters not
are, follow she must.

MOVEMENTS OF THE AUSTRIAN TROOPS.
The Austrian Government has ceased to send

the troops in Moravia towards Cracow. The troops
of the 2nd army corps, which have been stationed
in Bohemia and Moravia, 80,000 in number, noir
march to the south-west. This is considered as the
result of the treaty with Prussia, according to
which the defence of the Austrian frontier against
the Russian forces in Poland devolves on Prussia.
