TURKEY.
CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 27.—The Supreme Council hat!,
(~f has
after some days' deliberatioa, decided on a diminution
amount of tribute to Le exacted from Mehemet Ali. It
been redncrel to 25,000,000 piastres, or 250,000/. per annum:
This return to something like moderation in its dealings
with
the Pacha, gives us reason to hope that a permanent pacific'''.
tion may at length be effected between him and the Porte.
The weakness of the Government, and the untimely conces-
sions made to to the Rayah populations, have, instead of awa-
kening sympathy and gratitude, only encouraged the latter in
the belief that the hour has come for shaking off the Turkish yoke.
The only check upon the violence of the 'Turkish Cabinets
is the respect—no matter from what motive it proceeds--
which is now universally entertained for the European
t
Powers, and which operates very strongly.with the present
Ministry, who, though espousincr, for 'their own purposeis,
the liiV t 3 of the Thema and the fanatic party, care lilt et
in reality for anything but their personal interests. Bese
with difficulties which it is quite beyond their skill to
overcome, they only think, lika seamen in extremity,
of helping themselves to everything within their reach,
