We have received advices from Constantinople
of the 4th inst. More troops were preparing to
sail to reinforce the Turkish army on the coast of
Syria. Laid and Lady LONDONDERRY were
treated with touch distinction by the Austrian Am-
bassador. The following private correspondence
of a foreign Journal, of a date two days earlier,
contains a good deal of interesting details of the
political intrigues now at work in the Turkish ca-
pital :

CONSTANTINOI'LE, DEC. 2.—On the third day of the
Beiram (Nov. 28) the Visits of the Rikiab ttok place
at the summer palace of Bachitach. There is every
reason to believe that in a few days sundry changes
wid be effected. It would be difficult to say whether
the reform or the retrograde party w:ll carry the day.
Stites the death of Sultan Mahmoud there has been
a certain coalition between these two opposite opi-
nions, and conciliating Ministries have endeavoured
to govern the empire. The retrograde party, which is
sensible of its incapacity, has not dared, in the face
of the grave incidents touching the question of
Syria, to overthrow its antagonists, which it abhors
from the bottom of its heart, but, as it hopes that a
:olutio❑ of some kind is near at hand, it is intriguing
at this moment in order to get into power. Tile Sul
tang Mother is the principal prop of that party, which
has the Grand Marshal, Riza Pacha, as its leader.
Ater the example of the vicissitudes of which the East
has invariably been the scene of action, the singular
good fortune of that personage may be easily conceived.
Four years ago Riza was but a simple grocer's shopman
at the Egyptian Bazaar at Stamboul. Sultan Mahmoud
made hint one of his pages, and on the accession of the
new Sovereign he was named Generalissimo of the
Guards and Governor of the Imperial Palace. He has
