THE TREATY WITII TURKEY.

The following is in substance the treaty just
concluded between the Sovereigns of England,
France, and Turkey :
Whereas her Majesty the Queen of the United King.
dom of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Majesty the
Emperor of the French, have been invited by his Highness
the Sultan to assist in repelling the attack which has
been made by his Majesty the Emperor of all the
Russias upon the territory of the Sublime Ottoman
Porte—an attack, whereby the integrity of the Otto-
man Empire and the independence of the throne of the
Sultan are menaced, and whereas their Majesties are per-
fectly convinced that the existence of the Ottoman Em-
pire in its present territorial circumscription is essential
fer the balance of power between the states of Europe, and
whereas they have accordingly agreed to grant to the Sul-
tan the assistance he has required to this end ; it has
seemed fitting to their IL and Imperial Majesties afore-
' said, as likewise to his Highness the Sultan, to conclude a
treaty, in order to certify their views in accordance with
the foregoing, and to define the way and manner in which
their Royal and Imperial Majesties aforesaid will afford
a sistance to his Highness.
For this purpose their Royal and Imperial Majesties
aforesaid, and his Highness the Sultan, have name i as
their plenipotentiaries (here follow the names of the English
and French ambassadors and that of the Turkish Minister
for Foreign Affairs), who, having mutually exchanged
their credentials that were found to be in due form, have
agreed to tile following articles :
Art. 1. Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland, and his Mjesty the Emperor
of the French, having already at the request of his High-
ness the Sultan, given orders ti strong divisions of their

naval forces to repair to ConstantinoiS; to protect the terri-
tory and the flag of the Sublime Ottoman Porte, as circum-
stances should require, their said Majesties engage, by this
present treaty, to co-operate to a still wider extent with his
Highness the Sultan i 0 the defence of the Ottoman territory
in Europe and Asia against the Russian attack, by supply-
ing such a number of their land forces as may seem neces-
sary for attain'ng this object. Their Royal and Imperial
Majesties will despatch forthwith these land troops to such
point or points of the Ottoman territory that shall appear
eligible, and his Highness the Sultan engages 'that the
British and French land troops which shall be sent in
suchwise for the defence of the Ottoman territory shall
meet with the same frient!ly reception, and be treated with
the same consideration, as the British and French naval

forces that have been sojourning for some time past in the
Turkish waters.

Art. 2. The high contracting parties collectively engage
to communicate mutually to each other, without loss of
time, every and any proposition that may be received by
them, directly or indirectly, on the part of the Emperor
of Russia, respecting the cessation of hostilities, whether
a truce or peace, and his Highness the Sultan engages
moreover to conclude no armistice, and to enter into no
negotiations for peace, as ikewise to entertain no prelimi-
naries of peace with the Emperor of Russia, without the
knowledge and consent of the remaining high contracting
parties. _

Art. 3. So soon as the object of the present treaty shall
have been attained by the conclusion of a treaty of peace,
her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great
[tritain and Ireland, and his Majesty the Emperor of the
French, shall forthwith adopt measures for the prompt
withdrawal of their forces by laud and sea, such as shall
have been employed for attaining the object of the present
treaty, and all the fortresses or positions on the Ottoman
territory that shall have been provisionally occupied by the
orets of England and France shall be restored to the au-
thorities of the Sublime Ottoman Porte within * * *
days, to be reckoned from the exchanges of the ratifications
of the treaty by which the present war shall have been
ended.

Art. 4. The present treaty shall be ratified, and the rati-
fi,,ations shall be exchanged, as soon as this can be effected,
within the spAce of * * * weeks, reckoned from the
day of signing.
In virtue whereof, &c.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

Notwithstanding that our market today was very
moderately supplied with all kinds of English wheat, the
demand for that grain, owing to the comparatively thin
attendance of buyers, and the large quantity of foreign
wheat on offer, was in a very inactive state, and to have
effected large sales, lower rates must have been sub-
mitted to.

Foreign wheat, the imports of which have exceeded
20,000 quarters, sold slowly, at barely Monday's currency.
There was very little inquiry for floating cargoes, the
value of which was barely supp rted.
The show of English barley was good— of foreign limited.
Sales progressed slowly, at Monday's prices.
There was a moderate sale for malt, on former terms.
The oat trade was less active, but we have no change to
notice in prices.

Beans, Peas, and flour sold slowly, at Monday's currency
