Advices from Constantinople, of the 25th ult.,
state that on the preceding day a Queen's messenger
arrived at Constantinople on board the French war
steamer Tartare. Ile was the bearer of dispatches
from the French and English Governments to Sir
Stratford Canning and General Aupick. Those
from Viscount Palmerston were dated the 9th, and
those from Paris the 10th of October. This was the
second message which had arrived from the Foreign-
ofllce within the week. The former dispatches (of the
dare of the 3'l of October) brought to Constantinople
by Lieu'ena.nt Robbins approved the conduct of the
Porte and the policy pursued by the English Ambas-
sador on the ques ion of extradition. The instruc-
tions received by Sir S. Canning on the 24th of
October expressed, still more clearly and decidedly,
the determination of the English Government to grant
material support to the Sultan in case of emergency,
and to firm a defensive alliance with the Porte in the
event of the Czar attempting to carry into execution
his menaces of aggression. As the first step to-
wards such a measure, orders had been sent to
Admiral Parker to put himself in communication
with Sir S. Canning, and the British fleet was already
at the mouth of the D irdanelles.
The tenor of the instructions of the French Go-
vernment to General Aupick was nearly to the same
eff.!ct. France approved of the conduct of the Porte
and of her Ambassador at Constantinople. But
although there was an evident desire that France and
England should act in concert, it was not certain
that a defensive alliance would be formed with
the Sultan in the event of a declaration of war by the
Emperor of Russi,. It was understood, however,
that France wouldiupport Turkey " as long as the
Ottoman G.ivernment acted with prudence." The
Ropublic was opposed to war, and desirous of pre-
vee ,g• it if possible.
:Meanwhile the Sultan and his Ministers were well
pleased by the support granted by the two great
western Powers, and they were still more gratified
by the enthusiastic approval of their conduct by the
public press of London and Paris.
No communication had been received from the
Cz relative to the reply of the Porte to the demand
of Prince ltalzivil. Matters remained in statu quo,
and diplomatic intercourse was still suspended be-
tween "Turkey and the allied Governmerits of kustria.
and Russia. Four Ru'sian men of-war sailed on the
25;h for the Black Sea, in order (as it was- supposed)
to annoance the presence of the English squadron;
and the hourly expected arrival of the French fleet.
It would ba impossible for the Czar to commence
hostile operations against Turkey by land before the
month of May, 1850.

TUB ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION.

Dunr.asT, FRIDAY.--The first instance of a proxi-
mate c Alision between the jurisdiction of this Com-
mission and that of the Court of Chancery occurred
to-day, but was averted by the cautious proceeding
of Baron Richards. The parties in the case were
William W. Carr and Anne Carr; and the petition
for sale having been on a former day dismissed, Mr.
Napier, Q C., and Mr. Lowry, appeared to sustain it.
It appeared that a cause had been instituted in the Court
of Chancery, and a decree had been made by the Lord
Chancellor, which decree it was sought, under the
provisions of the Encumbered t sthtes ,A:ct, to transfer
to the Commission. The Cohimissjanere were of
opinion that the proper parties not having been all
brought before the Court of Chancery, the petition
could not be proceeded upon under the Commis
sion. The Chief Commissioner stated that although
the jurisdiction of this court had reference to the
effecting of sales only, yet that whenever, incidentally,
the question of a deed being fraudulent or not aro3e,:the
Commissioners would not shrink from disposing of
it. In the present case, however, he (lid not think
that the circumstances could justify the Commis-
sioners in acting on the petition. Ile advised the
filing of a bill in Chancery, in order that the opinion
of that Court might be had upon the validity of a cer-
tain deed in question, and thus a conflict between the
two jurisdictions would be avoided,, inasmuch as the
parties having settled their rights in Chancery might
then come before the Commission for the sale of the
estate. His Lordship accordingly made no rule on
the motion.
A.lr. Lower applied to the Court, on behalf of the
solicitor for the petitioner, that the Court would
order that the documents which had been lodged with
the petition should be returned, for the purpose of
carrying on the proceedings in Chancery.
The COMMISSIONER stated that in this and similar
cases all the documents,'except the petition itself,
should be returned.
IN THE MATTER OF WILLIAM DUDLEY PERSSE.
In this case the petition had been dismissed by the
Commissioners in chamber, and Mr. Vance, counsel
for the petitioner, appeared to sustain it.
The Court held that the petition had been prolix,
and had failed to set forth distinctly the title of the
petitioner. Their Lordships suggested that a new
petition should be filed, setting forth the rights of the
petitioner in a more concise and perspicuous manner.
Mr. Commissioner HARGRAVE called the attention
of counsel in this case to the circumstance that the
--, 1' iketsVildated to be the owner had been an insolvent,
---,---wheress. either at law or in equity an insolvent could
__J not be c,e sidered owner.
