The French Journal deg Debits publishes the 101
lowing letter from Constantinople, dated 25th Sep.
tember:—

"As I mentioned in my former letter, it was on the
morning of the 17(11 that the Russian and Austrian
Ministers made known the rupture of their relations
with the Pole. Prince Raezivil left on the 17th by
the packet from Odessa. Ile was to have been received
in the course of the day by the Sultan, but in conse•
quence of his abrupt departure, his audienco to take
leave was erased from the programme. If what is said
of the first audience be true, the Sultan would not be
much concerned at not having had to grant a second,
It would appear that Prince wore
accustomed to carry military orders than
diplomatic messages, confined himself on entering
the presenca of the Sultan to give a mi-
litary salute by carrying his right hand slowley to the
top of his hNt. The Sultan demanded through the
Minister of Foreign Affairs an explanation of such an
unusual proceeding, when the Prince repied that it was
the military salute ; to which the Sultan in his turn re-
plied that the Prince was not received as a General but
as an Envoy Extraordinary charged with. a diplomatic
mission. If this anecdote be true, Prince Radzivil opened
his campaign badly,and the Sultan would have given a les-
son of politeness to the aide-de-camp before giving one of
humanity to the Emperor. Fuad Eff ndi, who has been
charged to carry the reply of the Sultan to the Emperor is
by this time en route for St. Petersburgh. It was im-
possible to have made a better choice. Fuad Effendi
speaks French fluently. He is a very intelligent man,
with great sang-froid, pleasing manners, distinguished
address, and great aptitude for business (he has succes-
sively represented the Porte at London, Madrid, and
Lisbon); in a word, he is c, moldered to be a man equal
to any difficult position. Abdulhy Effendi, the chief
physician of the empire, who did not attend the council
on the plea of ill health, but really because ha would not
3:gn the minutes of the last council, being strongly de-
voted to Russia, has been dismissed and replaced by a
young physician, Salih Effendi, brought up at the school
at Galata- Serau, and who bears a very high reputation.
'Cho attitude of the Porte is calm, and the spirit of the
people excellent ; there is not the slightest symptom of
uneasiness in the public mind. Every one, on the
contrary, congratulates the Salmi' and his Ministers on
having shown firmness and resolution on a question
of humanity, and which so highly interests the dignity
and honour of the country. It is positively stated
that the Polish refugees are about to be sent to Choutnls,
the Hungarians remain at Widdin. As to the Italian
refugees, to the number of 400 or 450, no one claims
them, and the Porte is devising means to make them quit
the territory.".

The Austrian Lloyd's announces, on authority of a
letter from Semlin of the Ist, that the insurgents of
Bosnia have arranged their differences with the Tur-
kish Government, the latter having abandoned the tax
of which they had complained.

HOLLAND.
OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE GRAND
DUCHY OF LUXEMBURG.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 8:---IllsiGiswiY1;eing unable
to open the session in person, that office was per-
formed by Prince Ham. His Royal Highness
took his seat by the side of the vacant throne, and
made the following speech in a firm and distinct
voice :

" Gentlemen,—lt was the desire of the King Grand
Duke to open the present session in person, but he is
detained at the Hague by imperious and unlooked-for
circumstances ; he has accordingly commissioned me to
replace him in his prorogation, and to open the present
session inlh is time.

" Gentlemen, Lit is with lively satialiction that I
find myself in the midst of the good population of Lux-
emburg, and ;.I am happy to be the interpreter of the
Sovereign, in conveying to you the sentiments of his
goodwill and affection. The serious events which took
place last year shook the foundation of a great part of
Europe, have left the Grand Duchy unscathed, thanks
to the moderation of its inhabitants, and thanks
also to the exalted and magnanimous siisdom
of his Majesty, the late King Grand Duke,
my dearly beloved father, whose memory I rejoice to see
so gratefully cherished by the Grand Duchy.
" His Majesty will not lose sight of every interest
which may afft.ct Luxemburg in its relation to Germany,
while vigilant to maintain the rights of sovereignty
and nationality of Luxemburg on the basis of existing
treaties.

" His Majesty desires to preserve in tact that sacred
trust which, by virtue of his birth and the constitution
to which he has sworn, has been placed in his hands.

measure
" The country, happily, is also in a great
exempt from that depreciation of commerce, trade, and
prosperity, which everywhere prevails. The inhabitants
of Luxemburg, by their love of order and economy, have
rendered such effects less disastrous than they have been
in other countries.

" The fin.mcial state of the country is satisfactory, the
public s(rvices are insured without effort by the ordinary
resources; these services are conducted with regularity
under the inspection of au Administration devoted to the
interests of the ccuntry. _

" Those grand means of communication which in these
days are indispensible in any country which is anxious
to prosper, are everywhere accessible from the Grand
Duchy. Luxemburg may very soon expect to benefit
by the advantages which railv% ay s confer on those coun-
tries which possess them.
"In cpening the present session, I am happy to ex-
press to you that the principles of order, law, imparti-
ality, conservation, and honour, will invariably form the
basis of the policy of your King Grand Duke; and his
Majesty is persuaded that be shall not lack your support
in ePrrying out these principles. Ilia Majesty and the
Government wi.l find in the Legislative Assembly •f the
Grand Duchy of Luxemburg, cordial and loyal con•
currence.

"By this means, and in the maintenance of these
principles, which Luxemburg has hitherto perseyered

in, thfre is every reason to expect that prosperity which
his Majesty hopes to be an eye witness of, so soon as
circumstances shall permit him to repair to his faithful
subjects of Luxemburg.
"In the name of the King Grand Duke, I declare
the ordinary session of the Chamber of Deputies to be
opened."

ilia Royal Highness then retired with the same
ceremonies which had attended his entrance, after
which the Charn-cer proceeded with the formation of
its bureau. M. METz was appointed President, and
Baron Tituslaw Vice-President ; Messrs. LEFORT and
GROS were appointed Secretaries.
One of the Netherland journals, the Toekonist
(Future), announces that the KING, in imitation of
LOUIS PHILIPPE, is letting his sons go through the
regular course of studies at the College of the Hague,
in order that, during the course of their education,
they may become acquainted with the views and
wants of the people whom they may hereafter be
called upon to govern. The High Court of the
Netherlands has ,decided the cause in favour of the
family of the BOURBON son of the soi•disant Duke of
NORMANDY, against the State.

TnE HAGUE, OCT. 10.—The Chamber of Depu-
ties of Luxemburg has voted an address in reply to
the Speech from the Throne. It is almost a repetition
of the Speech, and concludes in the following words :
"His MAJESTY and the Government may depend
upon the frank and loyal assurance of the Chamber;
that they take, for the basis of their policy, the
principles of order, law, and impartiality, of con-
servatism, of progress, and of holour. His MAJESTY
has not hesitated to recognize that Luxemburg has
hitherto followed these principles, and by persevering
in them, we may with confidence expect that pros-
perity which the country will be proud for its
SOVEREIGN to witness, whenever circumstances may
permit him to visit his faithful Luxemburg subjects."
His Royal Highness Prince HENRY gave a grand
dinner to the Members of the Chamber, at which
several loyal speeches were made, in acknowledgment
of the toasts. Altogether his Royal Highness has
been received with much enthusiasm.

The Cabinet Council at the Hague continues to have
one tting after another, and negotiations are carried
on with many individuals, but as yet his MAJESTY
has not succeeded in the formation of a Ministry.
