TURKEY.

Letters from Constantinople of the sth, mention
the particulars connected with the arrival of Lord
Stratford de Redcliffe in that capital. He was re-
ceived at the landing place of Tophana by all the
English residents who, according to custom, ac-
companied him to the Embassy. When there the
noble lord addressed a speech to them, in which he
said that his sovereign had principally in view to
assist the Sultan, in utilizing the resources of his
country, in order to secure its future prosperity,
by means of better management. He did not at-
tempt to conceal the difficulties which existed at
present, and which had been lately aggravated by
political complications, but said he hoped they were
not insurmountable. He made no other allusion
to the pretensions of Russia. The Turks saw with
pleasure the arrival of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe,
and they were waiting with impatience for that of
M. de Lacour, in order to be able to know exactly
what they had hope for from France and England
in the diplomatic struggle with Russia. Little
doubt was entertained that Prince Menschikoff was
charged to exact a treaty of affiance offensive and
defensive on the broadest basis, and renewed from
that which was concluded in 1798 ; when a Russian
fleet, under the command of Admiral Oushakoff,
passed the Dardanelles in order to assist Egypt.
The Seraskier-Pacha and Arif-Effendi, Kasaskier
of Roumelia, had been designated by the Sultan to
assist Rifaat-Pacha in his negotiations with Prince
Menschikoff. It was said that the principal ar-
ticles of the treaty had been discussed, and were on
the eve of being concluded, when the news reached
Constantinople of the arrival of the French fleet at
Salamis. This news by reanimating the cou-
rage of the Turks excited a certain degree of
discontent among the Russians, who redoubled
their activity in order to obtain at least a moral
engagement from the Porte. This question of this
treaty of alliance absorbs every other ; even that
of the Holy Places had been for the moment set
aside. There was, however, it was said another
question which is also serious. Russia complains
much of the revolutionary spirit 4hich has mani-
fested itself some time in the Danubian prin-
cipalities. She particularly accuses the Prince of
Servia of favouring the development of this spirit,
and of showing himself at times hostile to the
policy of the Cabinet of St. Petersburgh. On the
2d Prince Menschikoff gave a grand diplomatic
dinner at which Rifaat Pacha, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, and the first interpreter of the Porte, were
present. It was remarked that Kyamil Bey, in-
troducer of ambassadors, and brother-in-law of
Fuad Effendi, was not of the party.

MALTA.
Admiral Dundas expected that sailing orders
would reach him on the 13th.
A recent dispatch announces that, soon after the
arrival of the French squadron off Salamis, the
admiral received a visit from the Russian admiral,
who had gone to Athens, and had visited the dif-
ferent islands in the Archipelago ; he had also been
visited by the naval commandant of the coasts of
Greece. Advices from the Black Sea state the
armaments had somewhat slackened. The order
for the sailing of the French fleet was known at
Odessa at the date of the last accounts.
