FRANCE.

PARIS, AI G. 13.

The labours of the Plenipotentiaries of the Paris
Conferences will for the moment close without set-
tling the laws for the navigation of the Danube.
Varied interests have created conflicting opinions as
to the police arrangements. Each State through
which the great stream flows wishes to preserve its
police authority. Turkey and Austria appear to
favour these claims, and thus differences of opinion
on this question have to be settled at some future
union of the Plenipotentaries. The organisation of
the Danubian Principalities, as agreed to by the
Envoys of the great Powers, is not likely to give
universal satisfaction amongst the Roumans. The
fact is, by calling on the people to express an opinion
on their form of government, diplomacy raised a
hydra-headed diplomatic monster difficult to get rid
of. During the negotiations for the Principalities
Lord Cowley has rendered great service to Fuad
Pacha, and has given him his support when the in-
tegrity of Turkey or her legitimate influence and
rights were debated. I should presume the Queen's
present Government has followed the policy laid
down by Lord Palmerston's Cabinet during the con-
ferences.

Official despatches have reached Paris from Con-
stantinople, informing the Turkish Ambassador that
the Government of the Sultan is seriously and deter-
minedly occupied in creating financial reforms. His
Highness the Sultan has agreed to suspend his
palace-building expenses and those of the household
generally. Tranquillity again prevails throughout
the Turkish empire.
I have received the following :
" CONSTANTINOPLE, AUG. 4.

" The greatest anxiety reigns to learn that the punish-
ment shall be commensurate with the aggravated character
of the crime committed at Djedds. There are many who
would have the town destroyed by the naval forces of those
nations which have been insulted; but the most reasonable
men :among those whose long intercourse with Mahemedans
renders their opinion the most valuable, consider that such
a step would rouse at once the fanatical spirit throughout
Mussulman countries, the effect of which would be most
lamentably serious. The chastisement must be inflicted by
the Turkish Government, but it is the duty of England and
France to see that it is strictly carried out, and not in pro-
mise only, as is invariably the case when the Ottomans are
left to themselves.

" The French press advocates an armed occupation of
Turkey, to give effect to the Hatti-humayom ; and, without
such assistaiee to enforce its execution, it will ever remain
a dead letter. We are too apt to take it for granted that
England and France must have conflicting interests in any
proposition that proceeds from either separately; but the
result of establishing the rights of Christians firmly in this
country would be to induce a population, the chief ingre-
dient of which would be the energetic Anglo-Saxon, with
the valuable addition of Germans and Swise, which for a cen-
tury to come could have no interests opposed to our own,
which would create the most enduring barrier against
foreign aggression, and develope the resources of the fertile
plains of Asia Minor, becoming good customers for our
manufactures, and producers of vast supplies for European
consamption.

"The state of exchanges appears to have passed a crisis.
There has been a combination of merchants and bankers to
afford a temporary relief, on the stipulation that the Sul-
tan's treasury shall issue no more paper money. The sum
proposed to be raised is £BOO,OOO in bills on Paris, London,
&c., and the chief part of that sum is already subscribed.
It has caused the pound sterling, which had reached 187
piastres, to fall this evening to 175.

a The differences between Persia and the Ottoman Porte
are in the course of immediate adjustment. The Sultan
sailed for Broussa to-day in a screw line-of-battle ship.
" Mans. Lesseps went yesterday to Odessa to assist in the
establishment of a Chamber of Commerce. A clever Turk
facetiously remarked that he intends to pierce the Isthmus
of Perekop, as it is absolutely necessary for his happine
hat he should cut a canal somewhere."

MALTA.

VALETTA, Atm. 7.

Advices received from Canea, to the 27th ult.,
state that order and tranquillity had finally been
restored at Canca. The Turks were returning to
their country habitations, and a subscription had
bee❑ publicly opened, with much success, in relief of
those who had suffered most during the disturbed
state of the country. Mehmet Emin Pacha, a com-
missioner of the Sublime Porte, had arrived to re-
lieve Ahmet Pacha, whose removal has disappointed
the French party in Candia. Mr. Longworth and
Mr. Ricketts, who it seems are sent out by the Eng-
lish Government on a special mission relative to re-
cent events in Candia, have reached Canea. The
English Consul of that island left for Constantinople,
being called by our Ambassador there. The Go-
vernment have despatched troops to all the provin-
cial places. Matters in the town of Candia are,
however, still in an unsettled state. A Turk killed
a Greek at Rettimo, and the Greek population was
consequently thrown into the utmost consternation. I
Mehmet Emin Pacha intended leaving Canea for
Candia. Her Majesty's steam frigate Vulture was
stationed at Suda. The Greek Consul returned to the
city on the 26th. Mr. Zimelli, the Superintendent of
Public Works in Malta, has returned from London
and Paris, whither he was sent by Government to
collect information for constructing a new market in
Valetta. The design of the proposed building is an
excellent one, and its execution being left in good
hands, will no doubt be perfect. The present site of
the market is made the most of in the new plan,
as the intention is to construct it of stone and iron,
which will do away with many of the bulky stone
obstructions in the present market.

The illalta Times says :
" If we are to judge by the reports current in town, and
the movements of influential persons, as well connected
with as opposed to the present Bishop of Malta (Monsignor
Pace Forno), the ecclesiastical horizon forebodes a storm.
We observe the departure of Monsignor Casolani, the Bishopf
of Muricaitro, for Marseilles, en route for Paris and Lon-
don, also Mrs. M‘Donnell; and on the same day, that o
the Rev. S. Combo, secretary of Monsignor Pace Forno,
for Rome, bearer of important clerical despatches to the
Holy See, for which destination a relative of the bishop
(the Rev. Gauci Azopardi) took his departure shortly pre-
vious. Mr. R. Messina and Mr. E. Zammitt, merchants,
supporters of the Jesuits, have also left for Rome. All these
movements are owing to the wordy conflict between the
Bishop of Malta and the Jesuits—the latter supported by
their general at Rome, and the former by the English Go-
vernment."

A maresnest is discovered by the last Malta Times,
as follows :

A rumour is entreat, but we have not been able to trace
