TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 30th, in the
Gazette du Midi, says :
"Toe affairs of the principalities will be among the
first the Government will have to discuss, and *bey eall
for a prompt solution. The dismissal of the two h ispo-
dars is definitively decided on. Another matter that
must soon be settled is, whether an ambassador extraur-
,iioary shall be sent to be present at the coronation of
the Emperor of Russia. As all the other great powers
send one, Turkey can hardly form an exception. There
is a difficulty, however, in the matter, which is, that
toe Emperor Alexander has not yet notified to the Sul-
tan his accession to the throne. It is, however, thought
that .Russia may make the notification by an auto4r ,ph
letter or by some intermediary ; and in that case Turkey
would send an ambassador. The person most ely to
be selected for the mission is Mehemet Pacha (K' sli),
who fulfilled the functions of caimacan during Aali Pasha a
absence. Another scandalous affair whicn prove., tn..t
in Turkey the Turks are not the most intolerant has
just occurred at Harpout, in Asia Minor. Toe child of
an Armenian family, Borne time since converted to Pro-
testantism, lately died, and its parents had it buried in
the Armenian cemetery, the only one for Christians at
Harpout. As soon as the Armenian bishop was informed
of the fact, be proceeded to the cemetery at the head
of the inhabitants belonging to his communion, and
had the body- dug up and thrown into a neighbour-
ing field, there to be devoured by dogs. Tte go-
vernor being apprised of what was done, F ent
guards to protect the body while he male the mo t
energetic remonstrances to the bishop. As the prelate
would not yield, the body was reinterred by the autho-
rities. The Porte has addressed a note to the Armenian
patriarch on the subject, demanding the dismissal of the
bishop, and has sent orders to the governor of Harpout
to give the Protestants a piece of ground for a cemetery
for themselves."

A company has been formed, with Messrs.
Cunard and Maclvor at its head, for the construc-
tion of a duck, with patent slips, somewhere on the
Bosphorus.. Mr. Barkley, the engineer of the
Heraclea. coal mines, has been commissioned to
find a suitable place and make the necessary
arrangements. He has chosen Beycos Bay as tilt,
site of the dock ; it is easily accessible and well
protected from every wind.

AUSTRIA.
VIENNA, JULY 7.

On the 30th June the Earl of Clarendon gave the
House of Lords to understand that " some good"
might be expected to arise from the endeavours of
the Powers to persuade the Papal Government to
make such reforms as would render a prolonged
occupation of the territories of the Church unneces-
sary, but information to-day received leads me to
believe that the Pope and his official advisers are
not much disposed to listen to the friendly advice
which they have received from the two great Catho-
lic Powers. State secrets are generally remarkably
welVkept in this country, but still it is known in
dipliamatic circles that Baron Werner's mission to
Rome was not attended with success. Everything
will be done to gain time, the two great Catholic
Powers will be played off against each other,
fair promises will be made to both, and as

soon as the slight external pressure which is
now felt is removed nothing will be changed.
A person who is in a position to form a correct
opinion on the subject tells me, that little more is
to be expected from the Papal Government than
that it will exert itself to protect the lives and pro-
perty of its subjects.
Prince Adalbert of Bavaria will leave for Madrid
on or about the 20th of this month, as his marriage
is to take place at the beginning of August.
The Frankfort Post Zeitung learns 'rem Vienna
that Prince Gortschakoff folly agreed with Count
Buol, that the Danubian Principalities " ought not
io be united ;" but you may be assured that such
was not the case.

A well-known English firm is likely to undertake
to construct the Vienna-Linz-Salsburg Railroad.
A treaty of commerce has been concluded for
