TURKEY.

We have received journals and letters from Con-
stantinople to the 17th. The financial state of
affairs appeared to promise some hope of ameliora-
tion. At a recent meeting of the mixed commis-
sion appointed to examine the project of the issue
of consolidated notes (sehims), and at which Fuad
Pacha and the Minister ofFinance were present, i he
question was the subject of a long and serious dis-
cussim. All the prim.ip .1 p tue measure
were decided on, and the details alone remained to
be erranged. Thenew notes to be issued are all to be
re'rnburseil in 24 years by means of a sinking fund,
which, as well as the interest at 6 per cent., is to be
furnish( d from the customs revenues of Constanti-
nople. The governmenthas engaged not to m.ke any
change in the intrinsic value of the present gold
coin, which is to be on the footing of NO piastres,
the Turkish pound. These guarantees are of a
nature to inspire confidence, and it is thought that
g )0d reults will be obtiined from the cliaibiriation.
Although the measure has been decided on in pritt-
cipl-, the application bas been postponed for three
months, either because the government wishes,
in that interval, to remove every obstacle to its
entire success, or from a hope that a loan may
be negotiated in Europe, which wou!d enable it
to withdraw all the paper-money from circula-
tion. Baron Prokesch, the Austrian minister
at Constantinople, was about to proceed to
Vienna on leave of absence, and it was generally
thought that he would not return to his post. M.
de Thouvenel had had a private audience of the
Sultan to deliver the reply of the Emperor Napo-
leon to the autograph let. er sent on the occ,siori of
the attempt of the 14th January. Some days be--
foie, M. de Souza, the Spanish Envoy, de iveted a
let er to the Sultan from his sovereign, netfying
the birth of the Prince of the Asturi,s. The last
ac7ounts which had reached Constantinople from
the Herzegovina were more satisfactory ; (rder had
not been re-.:stablistied, but the irritation in the
minds of she p ople was softening down, notwith-
standing the off irts made by the Montenegrin party
, to keep up the agitation.
