TEE CHANCE OF MINISTRY IN TURKEY.

The following letter from Constantinople relates
to the circumstances which led to the ohmic% of
0 •
the Turkish ministry :
" As the 2Sth was to be the day on which the period
expired for the fulfilment of the provisions of the treaty,
the Porte sent a note to Lord Stratford de Redoliffe t)
remind him of that circumstance, and begging him to
make his arrangements relative to the closing of the'
Straits. The recent arrival of a reinforcement to the
English squadron sufficiently indicated that the British
Cabinet had no intention of recalling its fleet. The
English ambassador is said to have made a double
reply—a verbal one, which he made in person to Aali
Pacha at his private residence, at which interview
Foad Paoha was present, and afterwards sent the
substance of this declaration in writing. At the in-
terview, the noble lord is said to have declared in the
first place that the difficulties which had arisen relative
to the frontiers of Bessarabia and the occupation by
Russia of the Isle of Serpents constituting the non-
execution of the treaty of Paris by Russia, no astonish-
ment ought to be felt that England, who had fulfilled
her engagements with good faith, should require a kind
of guarantee for the conduct of the cabinet of St. Peters-
burg by keeping a squadron in the Black Sea ; that
those measures moreover did not less interest the Porte
than its allies ; and that it ought to understand that the
entire and strict execution of the treaty would be re-
quired from Russia. Lord Stratford de Redcliffo also ex-
pressed his astonishment that so much should be thought
of the presence of an English squadron in the Black Sea,
when in Moldo-Wallachia the Austrians were preparing
to pass the winter, and were increasing their garrisons
on• several points. This latter circumstance was, he
said, of much greater consequence to the Porte than
the presence of a few English vessels of war in
the Bosphorus. In consequence of there observa-
tions, it was decided that the Porte should demand ex-
planations from the Austrian internuncio, and M.
de Prokescb, in his turn, waited on the Grand
Vizir. His declarations were, it said, very pre-
cise, and the more candid, perhaps, because he
knew that his auditors were well disposed to listen
to all he might say against the Principalities. Ac-
cording to M. de Prokesch, the state of the pro-
vinces is very unsatisfactory ; the public mind is

A revolution was, he said", to be feared, if the Austrian
troops were withdrawn ; and the Cabinet of Vienna had,
therefore, decided on maintaining the occupation ; and
the more so ae the season was too far advanced to allow
of the removal of the troops. The English Ambassador
might have expected this reply, but he never-
theless manifested astonishment, and made this
declaration the subject of a blame on the way in
which affairs were conducted by the Porte. The
two Minister', Aali Pacha and Foad Pacha, replied
with great warmth, and a discussion took place, which
at length went so far that the English ambassador
said he should refer the matter to the Sultan, which he
did on the same day, but it was not known what was the
reception he met with from his Majesty. It was after this
interview and the visit of the English ambassador to the
Saltan that the two ministers tendered their resignations,
which 'were not accepted ; hut, on the contrary, Aali Pacha
(as has been before mentioned) received a letter from
the Sultan expressing his confidence in the Minis-
try. Many persons, however, are still of opinion
that there will be a change of Ministry, and that
Reschid Pacha will come into power. It is thought
that Kubrizzi Mehemet Pacha, the President of the
Council, who is now on a mission to Russia, will be kept
at St. Petersburg as ambassador, and that Reschid
Pacha will take his place in the Ministry. This commas-
tion is the more seceseary that Rifaat Pacha, who was
the ad interim successor of the absent President,
is too ill to attend to public affairs. As if to support
the declarations of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, a large
steam frigate yesterday came up the Bosphorus, saluting
the Turkish flag with 21 guns, and went to join the squa •
dron in the Black Sea."

A new and bbautiful college of St. Aidan, which is
belonging
delightfully situated in Claughton Firs, Birkenhead, was
inaugurated by a grand banquet, on Tuesday afternoon,
which was presided over by the most noble the Marquis
of Westminster.
The clipper ship Tudor, Captain Anderson,
to Messrs. James Baines and Co.'s "Black Ball Line,"
sailed from the Mersey yesterday, for Melbourne, with
400 passengers, about 40 of whom are first class. she
