TURKEY.

The Journal des Debats contains the following
summary of its intelligence from Turkey :—" Ac-
cording to the last news from Constantinople, which
come down to the 25th ult., the dismissal of Ismail
Pacha, Minister of Commerce, and of Mehemet
Pacha, Minister of Police, appears to have a certain
significance, having been called for by the enemies of
the present Ministry. It is said that the position of
Reschid Pacha is somewhat compromised by_it. The
Sultan, however, still places confidence in that func-
tionary, and Turkey ought to be felicitated that he
does so, for it is certain that public affairs could not,
without danger, be placed in other hands to pass
through the crisis of 1852, the connterblow of
which will be certainly felt even in Turkey.
That country is not now in so normal a condi-
tion as it was in 1848 ; its relations with Austria
are compromised by the liberation of Kossuth ; its
difference with Egypt is not yet brought to a close ;
its financial situation is not in equilibrio, and tran-
quillity in Moldavia and Wallachia is rather precari-
ous., Austria is neglecting nothing to agitate Servia
and Bosnia, and the question of the holy places can-
not be settled without some emotion amongst the
Greek populations of Turk -y. This last question
has just entered on an awkward phase. At the mo-
ment when, after the examination and verification of
the titles produced before the commission, M. de La-
valette was on the point of coming to an understand-
ing with the Minister of Foreign Affairs on the basis
of a participation in common between the Catholics
and Greeks of all the sanctuaries claimed by the
Catholics, the Emperor of Russia sent to Constanti-
nople, by Prince Gagarin, an autograph letter ad-
dressed to the Sultan, and which was presented to
him at a private audience by M. de Titoff. In that
letter the Emperor beseeches the Sultan not to ad-
vance farther in the matter, and not to admit the
claims of France, the whole being accompanied by
the warmest
protestations of friendship and devoted-
ness. This incident has placed the question on a
new ground, and the Sultan, in presence of such a
letter, thought it only fitting to recommend his Mi-
nisters to suspend the negotiations entered into with
M. de Lavalette, who has sent in a strong representa-
tion to the Ottoman Ministry on the matter, and has
suspended his installation at Pera until the Porte
gives a satisfactory reply. The accounts from Bag-
dat announce that the cholera is raging there in a
dreadful manner. These accounts come down to
Septhmber 231, and at that date 100 persons were
carried off on an average per day. During the first
attack of the malady scarcely any person seized
with it escaped, and in one day out of forty-two sol-
diers taken to the hospital forty died. On Septem-
ber 22 not less than 150 deaths were ascertained to
have taken place, and all business was suspended.
The European colony, which, however, is not very
ultra:emus, had only lost three of its members. It
appears that the
,quarantine administration of Con-
stantinople, admitting the inutility of quarantine
measures against the cholera, has
decided on not
having recourse to any. All that will be dohs is to
have recourse to measures of general precaution. It
is supposed that the discussions which have taken
place at the sanitary conference, held at Paris, are
iy not without infl-nce on the determination thus come
to by the Turkish board of quarantine."
Some of the German journals state that M. de
Titoff, Russian Minister Plenipotentiary at Constan-
tinople, is about to be sent on an important diplomatic
mission to Italy, and afterwards to different parts of
Western Europe. They add that M. d'Oustinoff is
to act as plenipotentiary at Constantinople during his
able nce.

Letters from ZAra, of the 31st ult., state that Omer
Pacha has entered into negotiations with the Vladika
of Montenegro, for the purpose of settling the differ-
ences between Turkey and the Montenegrins.

CANADA AND THE BRITISH PROVINCES.
The Boston Post has the following summary of
news from the British provinces :
Toe P. E. Islander of October 17 has what it con-
sider* good authority for saying that about 50 corpses
were driven ashore between Brackley Point and Ca-
vendish—a distance of only about twenty miles—
within twenty-four hours after the storm had abated.
Of these, ten sleep in, Cavendish churchyard. The
same paper has a report of a large vessel being driven
ashore at the Noah Cape, bottom up, and 111 dead
bodies being taken out of her and burried at Nail
Pone, hut doubts its correctness. Several masters of
vessels at Plctou published a card of thanks to Consul
Norton for his kindness in their trouble, and regret.
ting the inadequacy of his fees.
• The Governor of Prince Edward's Island has
issued a proclamation directing officers of the re-
venue, magistrates, and others, to render all aid in
their power to the unfortunate fishermen of the
United States who have been wrecked on the Nor-
thern coasts, and especially to exert themselves for
the preservation of property, and its restoration to the
rightful owners.

of the late disastrous gale at Prince Edward's Island:—
The committee who went down to Prince Edward's
Island on behalf of the owners of fishing vessels be-
longing to this port, returned last night, and brought

nothing had been heard when they left the island on
Saturday het.
'We have been furnished by Cept. Robert Bayley
and Capt. George Knight with a complete list of the
vessels lost on the island. Of the vessels belonging to
this port, 44 are s ife, 19 lost, and 2, the Actor and

Not heard from—Actor, Augustus, 2.
The masters of schooners Fulton, Ruby, Montano,
and Grafton, had chartered an English brig for 1,050
dollars to bring up their fish.
The committee estimate that although some vessels
have undoubtedly been lost at sea, with all their
crew; the whole number of vessels ashore and lost
will not exceed 75. and the number of lives lost will
not exceed 150. The following is a list of the lives
thus far known to be lost, and the names of the ves-
sels to which they belonged:—Statesman, Fowler,
of Newburyport, ten men lost; Traveller, F. Cur-
rier, of ditto, eight ; aderna, of Portsmouth, ten ;
Lion, of Castine, six; Franklin, Dexter, of Dennis,

wieh, two; Fair Play, of Portland, eleven ; Flirt,
of Utoucester, thirteen; Nlary Moultan, of Castine,
twelve; Vulture, of Ne wburyport, one ; Native
American, of ditto, one ; America, of Lubeck, nine.
Total 97.
St. Xohn's, New Brunswick papers contain further
particular, from Prince Edward's Island, that the
sehooner Flirt, of Gloucester, foundered at her an-
chors in shoal water, and that all her crew were lost.
sc
Several unknown vessels, it is supposed, foundered
at sea, the crews of which were i
fof course lost. The
committee visited the re
ninety tons, a mile outside of Zael about eighty or
could not ascertain her name. She had
hharbour, but
ad an eight-
square bowsprit, and from this they judged eY Judged that she
was either a
icolaoras vessel.
