LORD PONSONBY AND THE PORTE

PARIS, TUESDAY —Despatches from Constantinople,
dated 9th inst., arrived to this Government last night, by
a French courier. The state that all intercourse between
Lord Ponsonby awl the Porte had ceased ; and the rest of
the diplomatic body, finding the affair become so serious,
had backed out of it, refusing further to interfere. I am
bound to add, without of course expressing an opinion of
my own, that the Corps Diplomatique consider that Lord
Ponsonby went too far in his demands and menaces. The
Ottoman fleet, which had orders and was ready to sail, was,
in consequence of the state of this question countermanded,
and the squadron which had already quitted the Bospho-
rus, was re-called (that is, orders for its recal were issued.)
The reason for these measures was lest the British fleet
should attempt to seize that of Turkey by a coup de main.
The Porte is, in other respects, assuming a defensive at-

. .
titude, and is displaying an unpleasant degree of enmity or
of incivility towards England. A few days before the date
of those despatches, a firman applied for to enable a British
vessel (with despatches) to enter the Black Sea, was for-
mally refused by the Turkish Government.
M. Boutanieff (the Russian Ambassador) had forwarded
to his Court and to London remonstrances arid protests
against the charges directed against him and his Imperial
Master by Lord Ponsonbv, justifying himself against the
imputation of having had anything to do in producing the
treatment of which Mr. Churchill had been the object.
The Austrian Ambassador had also protested against those
accusations, declaring them unfounded.
This is not all.

The Austrian Government has forwarded to its Repre-
sentative at the Court of London a formal protest and re-
monstrance against the conduct of Lord Ponsonby in the
respect in question, and stating unequivocally that it (the
Austrian Government) will consider as a declaration of
war any act of hostility committed against Turkey by ANY
power of Europe, and that it is determined, moreover, to
maintain in its fullest extent and meaning the integrity of
the Ottoman empire.
I cannot close this hurried but important statement with-
out adding that all the dispatches received last night (and
there were three besides that from which these particulars
are extracted) speak of the affair as very serious indeed.
