EASTERN NEWS.

TURKISH FISONTIERS, SEPT. 29.—A letter from
Constantinople says, that Count Walewsky was quite
inactive in the hotel of the French Legation at The-
rapia, the Porte has had no communication with him.
Great activity is observed in the arsenals, and the . ~
Go-
vernment saw to be making the greatest exertions to
equip an army of 9,000 men.
About the 'end of Auiust the plague again broke out
in the neighbourhood of Erzeroura ; five villages were
surrounded with esarfitary cordon; some cases of
plague also occurred in Siwas and in Roumelia. My
conjecture that the parties to the Quadruple Treaty
would probably disapprove of the precipitation of the
Porte in pronouncing the deposition of Mehemet Ali,
proves to be correct. The Austrian Cabinet is said to
he .highly displeased at it, and the representatives of
Russia and Prussia at Vienna are entirely of this
opinion: The Russian Charge d'Affaires at Con-
stantinople seriously dissuaded the Porte from the
preniature step ; and only the Representative of one
of the Four Courts most esteemed by the Porte, se-
conded the importunity of Lord Ponsonby, which may
be attended with unpleasant consequences to himself.
But the Porte itself is most blamed for this extreme
step, as it must have seen that a serious disagreement
between the great European Powers, would arise from
it, by which the Turkish Empire would be exposed to
the greatest danger.

At the beginning of this month the French Consul,
M. I.3ubrika, left Belgrade, and gave up the Consulate
to his successor, M. Alfred Muray. On the 16th of
this month, the birthday of Prince Michael was
celebrated by Divine service, and the city of Bel-
grade was finely illuminated in the evening. Only
the Hotel of the Russian Consul-General re-
mained in darkness ; this was doubtless to give
vent to his vexation at the loss of his influence wits the
Prince. M. ‘Vaschtscheks loudly blames the political
conduct of the Prince, and is particularly vehement in
expressions against the conduct of the Mather-Princess
of Liuhitzi, because sbe openly joins in the general
wish of the count% for the return of her husband,
Prince Milosch. _ _ _

CONSTANTINOPLE, SEPT. 26.—There aro two reports
in circulation here ; the first is that a detachment of
16,000 Russian troops has been embarked at Odessa
and Sebastopol, and that these troops are actually on
the way to the Bosphorus. It is said that they will be
encamped in Asia Minor, on the road to Ekischeper.
'The other is that the late grand Vizier, Chosrew pasha,
has been strangled by order of the Sultan conformably
to the sentence passed upon him.
