TURKEY.

The Wanderer has letters from Constantinople of
the 21st ult., stating that Russia insists on her former
demand for the removal of BEM and•the other rene-
gades from the frontier, on their being excluded from
active service, and on their being kept and treated as
prisoners. The reply of the Porte to this request is
simple and firm: The Porte declares that the
persons in question by embracing the Mahomedan
faith have not only become entitled to Turkish
protection, but that they are now Turkish
subjects, and that the. Porte, as an independent
power, has an exclusive jurisdiction over them.
This reply was at once communicated to
Messrs. TITOFF and STURMER, the Ambassadors of
Russia and Austria. Baron TITOFF returned his
copy of the note, with the following remarks :
" The Polish refugees are not to be removed; they
are to be expelled." "We must insist on this ex-
pression being made use of in the decrees, notes, and
publications of the Porte. We must insist on the
Porte consenting to the expulsion of those Poles who
have passports from other states, as soon as Russia
shall have convinced those states and the Porte itself
of the revolutionary intrigues of which those Poles
were guilty in Russia—BEM and the other renegades
must be confined and strictly guarded. The latter is
a condition on which the Court of St. Petersburgh
must insist."
Baron Titoff declared that if these remarks were
received into the reply of the Turkish Government
he would consent to forward the note to his Court ;
but if they were not received he must decline for-
warding it. The Turkish Minister declared that
these demands were inadmissible; and the note, ac-
companied by a copy of Baron TITOFF'S remarks,
was sent to VUAD EFFENDI to St. Petersburgh, with
instructions to that diplomatist to endeavour to re-
concile the Court of St. Petersburgh to the non-
acceptance of Baron TITOFF'S remarks and the de-
mands
of the Russian Cabinet. In consequence of
this step of the Porte, Baron STEMMER, the Austrian
Ambassador, declared that he could not enter into
diplomatic negotiations with the Porte so long as the
official diplomatic relations between the Porte and
Russia remained interrupted.
The same letter states that tke city of Kutaga is
spoken of as being destined for the accommodation of
the Hungarian and Polish refugees. The French
fleet was still lying off Vourla, while the English
squadron lies at Besica. The rumours that the
Russian fleet was being paid off proves to be un-
founded—on the contrary that fleet is still lying off
Sestapol, and great activity is being displayed in the
docks of Cherson and Nikolajew.
Russian troops have been dispatched to the Cauca-
sus and Georgia.
The Turks are fortifying the cities of Rustchuk
and Chers. They have seat officers to the Anatolian
army at Ereroum. The corps of Irak and Arabistan
are being placed on a war footing.
