CONSTANTINOPLE, April 3.—The Divan had come
to a decision to permit the entry of Russian mer-
chant ships into the Bosphorus.

turbances at Hedjaz still continued, and that the
Porte had taken measures to put them down. The
same journal speaks of other disturbances having
broken out in the province of Katkiari.

THE MEDITERRANEAN.
MARSEILLES, April 11.—More than ordinary pre-
cautions are being taken not only at Marseilles,
but at Toulon, to prevent the introduction of the
Crimean fever into France. The British steamer
Columbian, Captain Atkins, which sailed from Con-
stantinople on the 25th of March, having on hoard
332 French soldiers discharged fr oal the hosi,it ds,
arrived here to-day, carrying the yellow flag at the
foretopmast. On her passage from Constantinople
to Malta, which she reached on the Ist, she lost
several of her passengers by dAness. She left at
Malta 22 soldiers and 10 of her crew seriously in-
disposed. Before her arrival at Toulon she lost
more soldiers, and having landed 40 others she was
placed in quarantine. She sailed from Toulon this
morning, in quarantine. On her arrival in the port
of the Joliette the Prefect of the Department, driv-
ing round the harbour, observed the Columbian, and
immediately called to the officer of health on Cluty
to know the reason why a ship carrying the yellow
• flag should be suffered in the port. It was ex
plained to him that, having lost a number of sol-
diers on her passage by sickness, she had been
placed in quarantine at Toulon, and was now pro-
ceeding to land the remainder of her passengers at
the lazaretto of the Froul. The British steamer
City of Washington, towing the clipper Lard Dal-
housie, arrived at the Frioul this morning from
Constantinople, having landed their military pas-
sengers at Port Vendres. When fumigated these
vessels will be admitted to pratique. The City of
Washington left some of her crew at the hospital in
the Frioul, who had been attacked with fever on
their passage. The steamer New York, of Glasgow,
Captain Craig, which sailed with 333 invalids
from Constantinople on the 23d March, arrived
here on Saturday last from Toulon, where she was
placed in quarantine for three days, having lost one
of her passengers on her voyage. She brought to
Marseilles 200 tons of bomb-shells. The British
steamer Elammonia arrived hero from Constanti-
nople on Monday, with 268 military passengers and
a quantity of Russian shot and shell. She was ad-
mitted to pratique after a few hours' detention at
the Frioul. The French steam-packet Meandre,
which arrived here in the midst of a heavy gale
of wind on Monday, bringing the Constantinople
mails of the 31st ult., was, in consequence of
sickness on board, sent to the Frioul, to be puri-
fied. Thei passengers, with the exception of
the Queen's messenger, were not permitted to
land :until Tuesday morning. A number of Gen-
darmerie,who have arrived here from Paris, keep,
with
the aid of the local police, a sharp look-out,

and closely examine all soldiers arriving here from
Con stun tinople.

GERMANY.
According to a rumour in circulation at Vienna,
a circular note, under date of the sth, has just
been addressed by the Austrian Government to ito
diplomatic agents abroad. It sums up the policy
followed by Austria iu the affairs of the East, and
afterwards goes into the matter of the Congress,
on which it expresses itself in these terms--
" Never was there seen so much disinterestedness
on the one hand, and so much abnegation the
other." Speaking of Turkey, the note expresses
confidence that that State, which only so short a
time ago was near its ruin, will revive in conse-
quence of its entering into the European concert.
It afterwards enumerates the advantages which re•
suit from the treaty of Paris, particularly as re-
gards the free navigation of the Danube, and con-
cludes by invoking the co-operation of all Govern-
ments and all well-disposed people to heal the
wounds occasioned by the events of late years.

Another expedition is about to be undertaken
against the Kabyles, and troops are being de-
spatched for that purpose. The French steamer
Henri IV. has sailed for Algiers, heavily laden with
troops and military stores.
