TURKEY.

According to news from Constantinople of the
18th, the fetes in honour of Marshal Pelissier were
exceedingly brilliant. The evacuation of Turkey
by the allied troops, which is rapidly taking plac&
from day to day, contradicts the rumour of an
occupation by 20,000 men of the French, and 10,000
of the English army. European commerce is full
of activity ' • and the Turkish Government is about,
to impose a duty on the productions of the country,
and establish a new rate upon merchandise im-
ported.
Two-thirds of the town of Thessalonica had been
' destroyed by fire.
The Russians have occupied the Isle of Serpents,
of which Turkey claims the possession by virtue of
the treaty of peace. The Russians have refused to
admit the English Commissioners into Kars, de-
claring that they would not surrender the fortress,
until after the complete evacuation of Turkey b)
the allies.

A letter from Belgrade of the 16th, in the
Augsburg Gazette, says :—"A battalion of Turkish
troops, about 800 strong, arrived here yesterday,
and after a short stay it is to be carried to Schutnla
by the steamboats. These troops, which come
from Bosnia, confirm to a certain extent the ru-
mour that a priest named Hulas had at, empted te
get up an insurrectionary movement in the Her-
zegowina, but that it was suppressed."

The Berlin Gazette contains a letter from St.
Petersburg, which says:—" The programme drawn
up by the Councillor Guerlenoff for the ceremonies
of the coronation hai just been approved of by the
Emperor Alexander. French, German, and Rus-
sian plays will be performed at Moscow, and there
will be also an Italian opera. A French company
obtained au authorisation to open a large bazaar
for the sale of objects of art and luxury.
A letter from Vienna, 21st, in the Frankfort
Gazette, says :—" Baron de Habner, the Austrian
ambassador in France, has just left for Venice and
a tour in Italy. Prince de Hohenlohe, who has
conceived a project of forming a company with
shares for carrying on a trade in corn between
Hungary and Germany, has entered into relations
with the founders of the new Austrian Credit
Mobilier Company for that purpose."

Baron Nothomb, the Belgian ambassador at the,
Court of Berlin, has been for some days so indis-
posed as to be unable to proceed to Brussels for the
tes.
