TURKEY AND EGYPT.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Jan. 11.

The Porte received a letter from the Khedive on
Saturday last, intimating his willingness to sur-
render the ironclads and breechloaders, which had
been ordered by him. his Highness explains that
the delay in complying with the demand of the
Porte has merely arisen from the desire of the
Egyptian Government to ascertain the cost of the
breechloaders and ironclads, and to settle the mode
of payment by the Porte.
This explanation is stated to be considered per-
fectly satisfactory to the Sultan and the Grand
Vizier.

A rumour is current that Ministerial changes
are imminent, in `consequence of the above final
settlement of the Turco-Egyptian question.

THE ANTEUIL TRAGEDY.
PARIS, Jan. 12.

In yesterday's sitting of the Legislative Body, M.
Mont Peyroux asked the Minister of Justice whe-
ther tylpn-thers of the Bonaparte family were
amenable to the common law of the land?

M. Rochefort followed, and demanded whether
the Minister of Justice intended to put an end to
the system of not treating as murder the
assassination of one of the sons of the people
by a Prince ? M. Rochefort compared the
Bonaparte family to the Borgias, an expres-
sion which evoked loud dissentient remarks.
The President called M. Rochefort to order.

M. 011ivier, the Minister of Justice, said—" In
the name of justice and of right, tile Government
which you insult asks you to listen to its reply,
which will not be couched in such mouthing
language. If M. Rochcfort understood justice
better he would not attack an accused person. An
accused person must always be treated with resp .ct.
Prince Pierre Bonaparte demands to be tried by a
common jury, in conformity with the formal text
of,the law, and it is necessary to assemble the High
Court of Justice. We shall at a future time in-
quire whether any alteration of the present law is
necessary, and whether we ought to abolish excep-
tional jurisdiction. Ou that point we may possibly
be of the same opinion as yourself. I protest against
the words that the magistracy is wanting iu dignity
and independence." _

The Minister held that the ugh Court of Justice
afforded a guarantee for the impartial judgment
of this crime committed by a high personage, and
concluded

"A proof will thus be given that nobody escapes
the justice of the country. I regret to witness the
popular excitement fomented by sanguinary and
exaggerated descriptions which have appeared i❑
the journals, but we look upon these without fear.
We embody right and justice, but, if compelled,
we shall represent material force." Immense cheer-
ing resounded from all the deputies except from
those of the Left.

After a few incidental remarks from NI. Raspail,
the President, announced a requisition for the
authorization by the Chamber of a prosecution
against M. Rochefort in consequence of the article
in that day's issue of the Marseillaise. The re-
quisition is signed by M. Grand Perret. The Pre-
sident concluded by saying—" Justice cannot re-
main insensible to the violation of the law."

The above requisition will be taken into con-
sideration by the Bureaux to-morrow.

PARIS. Jan. 11.

As soon as M. Pietri, the Prefect of Police, had
made his report in reference to the homicide at
Anteuil, the Minister of the Interior, M. Chevan-
dier Valdrome, at once proceeded to the official
residence of M. 011ivier, where M. Grand Perret,
Procurator-General, had already arrived. Orders
for the arrest of Prince Pierre Buonaparte were
immdiately forwarded to the frontiers, in case his
highness should attempt to escape from the
country

It is asserted that to-day's edition of the Mar -
seillaise has been seized. A large crowd assembled
before the offices of that journal.
The Ga:ette des Tribunaux says : Last night,
at about half-past five o'clock, M. Rochefort ap-
peared in a carriage on the Boulevards, accompanied
by a very large crowd, who sang the " Marseil-
laise" and shouted "Five Rochefort !"
Upou his arrival at the Boulevard Montmartre
M. Rochefort left the carriage and exchanged a
few words with his followers, when several persona
ran through the crowd and called out " Until to-
morrow."

Nothing further resulted from this demonstra•
tion, and during the evening the Boulevards wore
their usual aspect.
