His Imperial Majesty the Sultan wishing to stop, by

peace amongst the populations placed under his sove-
reignty; and their Majesties the Queen of the United
Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Emperor of
Austria, the Emperor of the French, his Royal Highness

sentatives of their said Majesties and of his Royal Highness
have agreed upon the followitag Articles :
[Here follow Articles I. to VI., as above.]
It is understood that the six preceding Articles shall 7be
embodied verbatim into a Convention, which shall receive
the signatures of the undersigned Representatives, as soon
as they are furnished with full powers from their Sove-
reigns, bat that the stipulations of this Protocol will come
immediately into force.

that the present distribution of the Prussian ships of war
may possibly not permit his Government to co-operate at

Protocol of a Conference held at the Department of Foreign
Affairs, August 3, 1860.
The Plenipotentiaries of Great Britain, Austria,
France, Prussia, Russia, and Turkey, desirous
of establishing, in conformity with the intentions
of their respective Courts, the true character of the
assistance afforded to the Sublime Porto by the provisions
of the Protocol signed this day, the feelings which have
dictated the clauses of this Act, and their perfect disinte-
restedness, declare in the most formal manner, that the
Contracting Powers do not intend to seek for, and will not
seek for, in the execution of their engagements, any territo-
rial advantages, any exclusive influence, or any concession
with regard to the commerce of their subjects, such as
•could not be granted to the subjects of all other nations.
Nevertheless, in recalling here the Acts issued by his
Majesty the Sultan, the great importance of which was esta-
blished by Article IX. of the Treaty of March 30, 1856,
they cannot refrain from expressing the valuo which their re-
spective Courts attach to the fulfilment of the solemn pro-
mises of the Sublime Forte, that serious administrative
measures should be taken to ameliorate the condition of the
Christian population, of every creed, in the Ottoman Em-
pire.
The Plenipotentiary of Turkey takes note of this decla-
ration of the Representatives of the High Powers' and
undertakes to transmit it to his Court ; pointing out that
the Sublime Porte has employed, and will continue to em-
ploy, her efforts in the sense of the wish expressed above.

PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, OCT. 27.
The Athens, Captain Clark, with:the above mail,
arrived here this morning.
She left Table Bay on the 22d ult., St. Helena
on the Ist, and Ascension on the sth inst.
Prince Alfred's progress through the Eastern
Province,fthe Free State, and Natal was well ar-
ranged, and everything passed off satisfactorily]
The Prince everywhere met with an enthusiastic re-
ception which made a good impression °tithe nativesi
Mosliesh came out with a great company to meet
his Royal Highness. Sandilli, chief of the Gaikas,
and twelve councillers, came down with the
Prince in the Euryalas to Capetown. The inaugu-
ration of the breakwater, the sailor's home, and
public libraries, with the accompanying festivities,
were all brilliant affairs.

The Euryalus, with the Prince, left the Cape on
the 19th ult., St. Helena on the Ist, and Ascension
on the 4th inst. All well. She was to touch
at Sierra Leone and the Cape de Verdes.
Her Majesty's shins Forte and Wasp were in
Table Bay.
The Sidon left for Simon's Bay on the 22d ult:

Admiral Keppel was still on his Eastern cruise.
The Wasp had been ashore, and everything ex-
cepting the guns was thrown overboard. She was
going to Mauritius for repairs.
Political affairs had been at a standstill since the
Prince's arrival, but were expected to become ani-
mated after his departure.
The Governor was going to Kaffraria and would
make it a separate dependency. A strong feeling
adverse to a responsible Government was evinced
in Cape Colony.
The Postal Money Order System had not been
introduced, but it was much desired and expected.
The South African Turf Club had petitioned the
Queen for an annual Queen's Plate.
Business at the Cape was very inactive. Several
failures had taken place. The money market was
very tight and getting worse. It was said that if
no remedy could be found commerce would be sadly
crippled. The Colonial Finance Returns were
satisfactory. The income was £45,000 over the
last corresponding half year.

Her Majesty held a Council at half-past 3 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Present—The nine° Consort, the
Lord Chancellor, Lord John Russell, the Duke of Somerset,
the Right Hon. Sir G. C. Lewis, the Right Hon. Sir C.
Wood, the Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, and Viscount Castle-
rosse, Vice Chamberlain. A proclamation was issued for
the election of a new peer for Sectland in the room of the
Earl of Leven and Melville. Parliament was ordered to be
further prorogued from the 6th November, until Thursdity,
the 3d of January.
