TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 17.—The mission of Rifut
Bey was officially announced to the Ambassadors on
the .sth, and the notification he was charged to make
to the Pacha was to the following effect :
" His Highness promises to grant to Mehemet Ali,
to be possessed by him and his descendants in a direct
line, the administration of the Paellalie of Egypt, and
his Highness moreover promises to grant to Mehemet
Ali, during his lifetime, with the title of Pacha of Acre,
and the command of the fortress of St. Jean d'Acre, the
administration of the southern part of Syria, the ex-
tent of which is to be limited by the following boun-
dary line :

" This l►ne, leaving Cape Ras-el-Nakhora, on the
Mediterranean coast, will extend directly thence to the
mouth of the River Sciallan, the northern extremity of
Lake Tiberias, will run along the western bank of the
Dead Sea, continue thence in a straight line to the
Red Sea, ending at the northern point of the Gulf of
Akaba, and following thence the western coast of the
Gulp'. of Akaba, and the eastern bank of the Gulf of
Suez, as far as Suez.

" However, the Sultan, in making these offers requires
that Mehemet Ali shall accept them in the space of ten
days after receiving communication thereof at Alexan-
dria through an agent of his Highness, and that Me-
hemet Ali shall at the same time deposit in the hands
of this agent the necessary instructions for the com-
manders of his land and sea forces to retire immediately
from Arabia and from all the holy cities therein situ-
ate, from the Island of Candia, the district of Adana,
and from all the other parts of the empire not included
within the limits of Egypt and of the Pachalic of Acre
as above defined."

The Government had laid an embargo on the steamer
II Pada di Pellegrini, sailing under Tuscan colours, but
known to belong to Mehemet Ali, in consequence of its
having been discovered that several emissaries of the
Pacha had arrived in her at Constantinople. The
Charge d'Affaires of Tuscany was officially informed by
the Porte that the vessel would not hereafter be per-
mitted to enter the Bosphorus. The guard placed on
board had been removed and the steamer allowed to
depart.
The steamers Seri Pervas and Metternich arrived on
the 12th from Ismidt, bringing 1,400 Albanian troops.
The Sultan had conferred the decoration of Iftikar
on M. Conte, Director-General of the French Post-
office.

M. Christides, the Governor of Syra, had arrived,
with full powers to negotiate a new treaty of commerce
between Greece and the Porte.
Khosrew Pacha is still detained a prisoner in his house
at Rodosto, and all his property has been confiscated.

. . .
Recent advices from Persia state that the differences
between the Shah and Paella of Bagdad had been
amicably adjusted.
