The Trieste Gdzette has the following from Con-
stantinople, 28th 'ult. :--" It is not , yet known
whether the question of the Holy Places is at this
Moment the subject of deliberation between Prince
Menschikoff and the Ottoman Porte, but it is cer-
tain that the Divan is negotiatimr, with the Prince
on the affair of Montenegro and the emancipation
of the Christians. The apparent isolation of the
Russian Cabinet in presence of the resolution of
the other powers to refuse any co-operation, does
not in any way diminish the prospect of an amicable
arrangement. But it is certain that Prince Menschi-
koff will not and cannot yield, and that he will
place himself as the protector of such subjects of
the Ottoman Porte as profess the Greek religion.
He is, nevertheless, very dissatisfied with the Pa-
triarch. The Russian Colonel Christophores (a
Greek by birth) has arrived from Montenegro.
A certain sensation has been produced here by the
departure of several Russian officers for that coun-
try."

A letter from Erzeroum, the capital of Armenian
Turkey, states that about a month ago the acces-
sion to the throne and the marriage of Napoleon
111. were celebrated with a good deal of pomp by
the French consul and residents, and that the high
Turkish functionaries took part in the ceremonies.
According to a letter from Teheran of the 26th
February a grave misunderstanding has arisen be-
tween the Persian Court and the British Legation,
relative to Herat, and a rupture was feared.
" What is certain," says the letter, " is that Colonel
Sheil, who was about to quit Teheran in a few days
on leave of absence, expected to take with him all
the personnel of his legation." The cholera was
advancing towards Teheran ; it had reached Resht
and Caslin, and had made ravages in these places.
The winter had been one of the most severe ever
known in Persia. Snow had fallen for several days,
and in some parts communications had been inter-
rupted. The Schah, notwithstanding the intensity
of the cold, had been on a hunting expedition to
Hirsa. He was obliged in the course of it to re-
main in tents for ten days, and several of his suite
died from cold.
