The Journal des Daats publishes the following
letter

" Constantinople, Nov. 17.
" In consequence of the news from Sc. Petersburgh,
which arrived he re on the 3d by way of. Odessa, M. de
Titoff sent a note on the 6th to the Porte to make known
the intentions of his Cabinet. As I have announced to
you, this answer was pacific. The Emperor desists, it is
true, from his demand for the extradition of the Polish
refugees who took part in the rise in Hungary; but he
introduces two new demands, which have given, and will
still give, occasion to long and laborious negotiations.
Thus, he demands the impris annent at Diarbekir of
General Bern and the other Polish refugees who have
embraced Islamism, and the expulsion and inter-
diction from the Ottoman territory of all Polish
emigrants, and even of those who are natural.
ized, or who are furnished with foreign passports, if
the naturalization has been granted without the consent
of the Emperor. M. de Titoff has announced at the
same time that he would not resume relations
until the Porte should have given on these points, an
answer which would satisfy his Court. M. de Sturmer,
who had, in the first place, announced that he would
resume relations as soon as the place of the imprison-
ment of the Hungarian refugees should hare been fixed
upon, has since stated that he will not do so until Russia
ahouid have done so also. An incident which it is well
to mark is, that Count Zamoiski and General Dembinski
are claimed both by Russia and Austria. The latter
demands their imprisonment, and the former their ex-
pulsion. The Porte will wait till they have settled the
question between them. Both Z imoiski and Dembinski
are provided with French passports.
" I announced to 3ou in a former letter, that the
English fleet had arrived at the Dardanelles. As the
roads of Besika are not very safe, and the south wind
was blowing with great violence, the English penetrated
into the straits, and advanced beyond the point of Bar-
bier, outside the forts, but sufficiently near to exchange
salutes. The Russians considered this an infraction of
the treaty of the 13th July, 1841, on the closing of the
straits; and M. de Titoff sent a protest to the Porte, in
which he declared that he would not resume his relations
with the Porte until the English fleet had retired. This
incident, however, has not gone further; for the English
fleet had already returned to Besika before Admiral
Parker was aware of the step taken by Russia. The
French fleet is at Ourla.
" M. de Titoff has had several conferences with the
Grand Vizir and the Minister of Foreign Affsirs, rela-
tive to the question of the refugees ; so also has M.
de Sturmer ; thus the rupture of relations is not
strictly observed. The Sultan has even sent as a pre-
sent to M. de Sturmer a snuffbox set with diamonds of
the value of a thousand pounds. M. de Stunner ac-
cepted it, on one condition, it is true, namely, that the
authorities of the Mint should take back the snuff-box,
and give him its value in money, in consideration of
the hardness of the times.

" The Porte replied, some days ago, to the note of
Russia about the refugees. It seemed disposed to send
away from its terftories all those who left Hungary to
seek refuge there ; there can be no difficulty upon this
point. As to the demand of shutting up in Diarbekir
Bem and those of his companions who have embraced
Islamism, the Porte, restricting herself to the terms of
the treaty of Kutchuk Kiarnadji, repels it in the most
formal manner. The individuals included in this category
are protected both by treaties and by religion; they are
now subjects of the Sultan. The Porte no longer knows
a General Bern, but only Murad Pacha ; and it at any
future period the conduct of this subject of the Sultan
may give to Russia any legitimate motives for complaint,
the Government will take the matter into consideration,
and will take such measures as may seem proper.
"As to what concerns the expulsion from the Ottoman
territory of all the members of the Polish emigration
who may happen to be there, and the interdit Lion of that
territory to persons of the came category—as they are
all furnished with foreign passports, especially English
and French passports—the Porte cannot, without some
other motive than the wish of the Emperor, undertake a
I;aeiisure which will itttwa the right of those rowers,

That, then, is a point on which Russia must comp to an
understanding with those other Powers, and especially ,
England and France. But if individuals who are sub-
ject to the Sultan, foreigners, Poles, or others, residing
on the Ottoman territory, render themselves guilty of
acts contrary to the relations of friendship which exist
between the Porte and Russia, the Porto does not re-
nounce its right of police; and Russia has only to point
out those acts—to produce the proofs of them—and she
will hasten to send away those individuals from its
territory.
" I do not know whether this answer will satisfy
Russia. However, it is certain that M. de Titoff, who
is to resume his relations as soon as the Porte shall have
given an answer of a nature to satisfy his Cabinet, has
not as yet resumed them. He has not even answered
the above note; and alleging the rupture of relations,
he has informed the Porte that he was going to transmit
the note to St. Petersburgh, and that he would commu.
cate the reply.
" There is nothing besides of any gravity in the pre-
sent state of affairs. They have negotiated, and further
negotiations will take place; but the question has lost
all its gravity, and one may be sure that no serious com-
plication of a nature to compromise the peace of Europe
will result from it—at least, unless Russia, awaiting a
better opportunity, should wish to keep the question
open till the spring, in order to do then a hat her inte-
rests may prompt. We live in an epoch fruitful in
changes, and some event may arrive before spring which
will permit Russia to resume her menacing attitude
without meeting the same obstacles.
" General Aupick has sent the Saverne to Smyrna,
with dispatches for the commander of the Fredch
fleet. This steamer returned the day before yesterday.
"Sir Stratford Canning has left for the Dardanelles,
on board the Dragon ; he has gone to pay a visit to the
fleet.

" Tho packet-boat Telemachus, expected on tho 12th,
arrived only on th© 16tb, This delay has been caused
by the bad weather which has continually existed fn
the Mediterranean. She brought only the news of the
29th October ; but an English steamer which arrived
later, brought news from Paris up to the Ist of No-
vember, and, consequently, the President's manifesto
and the composition of the New Ministry."
