THE EAST.

The latest intelligence from Constantinople comes
down to Jan. 27. Certain "Circassian slave-mer-
chants who were proceeding to Constantinople to
sell some young women and children, having bee❑
refused passports by the Russian consul at Trebi-
sond, in consequence of the promise of the Sultan
to interdict the sale of white slaves, took up
arms, and wanted to set fire to the consul's
house. The resident Europeans and the con-
suls of France and England. all in arms, to the
number of 300 persons, gathered round the Russian
consulate for its defence. In the end, the Paella
interfered and put a stop to the disturbance. Some
troubles of a religious character broke out at
Adrianople between the Greeks and the Bulgarians
relative to a church common to both. The consul
of Russia intervened. The snow storms in the
neighbourhood of the Turkish capital were still fall-
ing, and the streets of Constantinople were impas-
sable."

" The last accounts from Bosnia, Servia, and the
Herzegovine," says a Vienna letter of the Ist, " are
anythingbut satisfactory; they, in fact, prognosticate
a considerable rising among the Christian popul at ions
of the Greek church. Ismail Pacha, who commanc's
the Turkish troops at Mostar, has already received
the strictest orders from ;the Porte to repress by
every means in his power the insurrection in the
Herzegovine. His force, however, being scattered
about on d►fferent points, are powerless to ac,
against the armed bands which devastate the coun-
try. It is feared that the rising will soon extend
to Bosnia. The concentration of a body of Turkish
troops on the Danube under the command of
Achmet Pacha has lately been talked of, but it i,
well known here that these forces do not amount
to more than two demi-brigades."
Another letter fr om Vienna states that the paella-
lies of Saraj two, Scutari, and Trebigne have been
declared in a state of siege, but that the rajahs re-
fuse to give up their arms.

FRANCE.
PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING.
Baron de Bourqueney, the_French ambassador at
Vienna, has left Paris to return to his post.

peletier :d'Annay ; 3d, M. Davinck and Count de
Flavigny ; 4th, MM. Gouia and Crosnier ; sth,

The daughter of CJunt de Morny was baptised
two days ago, and received the names of Marie
Eugenie, the Emperor and Empress acting as
sponsors.

A letter from Berlin, in the Constitatiennel,
says :—" The refusal of Prince Frederick William
to receive the deputations of the political associa-
tions has produced a considerable sensation here.
These associations have been accustomed to put
themselves forward on all occasions, and they had
now requested permission to congratulate Prince
Frederick William. The Prince refused, observing
that he did not like political demonstrations. It
is believed that, if any durable change should be
made in the Government of Prussia, an end would
be put to these bcdies. Two processions by torch-
light will take place in honour of the Prince, one
organised by young men in business and the other
by the students."
The Princess de Belgiojoso publishes in the Paris
journals a letter which she has addressed to the
Augsburg Gazette, denying in energetic terms au
imputation cast on her by that journal, that she
was in some way implicated in the recent attempt
to assassinate the Emperor. The Princess declares
that she knows nothing whatever of any person
concerned is the crime ; and she adds that the
great majority of Italians have as much horror of
assassination as the people of any other county.

MADRID, FEB. 4.—The COTtO3 have voted tha
bill relative to the land tax, by 200 votes to 14,
and the address in reply to the speech from the
throne, by 200 votes to 14."

The journals of the 31st ult. are chiefly filled with
the speech delivered by M. Bravo Murillo in the
siting of the previous day, and which was of such
enormous length that it occupies no fewer than ten
of their columns in close print. In addition to the
points in it noticed yesterday, M. Bravo Murillo
declared that for some time past social opinions had
made such progress in Spain that society was se-
riously menaced, and the po3se3sors of property
would do well to be on their defence. (This
declaration created some sensation.) The
best way in which these persons could defend
themselves was, ho said, to pay larger taxe.,
so as to enable the Government to take proper
measures for the preservation of order. With
respect to the property of the clergy which had been
sold, he thought that an indemnity ought to be
granted to the clergy, butithe Holy Father should be
supplicated to sanction the sale ; awl as regarded
the ecclesiastical property not yet sold, his opinion
was that it ought to be restored. He then went
on to say that in order to re-establish society
firmly on its basis, it would in his opinion be desir-
able to confine the right of voting to the persons
who paid the highest amount of taxes, to re-
duce the number of deputies, to have no func-
tionaries and no military ofli;ers in active service iu
the Chamber, and, lastly, to have the diicussion3
secret. After his speech, for which he received the
congratulations of his friends, the debate on the
address was again adjourned. A meeting of the
different fractious of the moderado party had been
held, in order to see if it would not be possible to
come to an understan&ng, so as to re- establish the
union of the party, even if necessary, by sacrificing
its chiefs. But to conclusion was come to ; a new
meeting was, however, decided on. Ltters from
Cube state that the yellow fever was raging with
some violence.
