TURKEY.

We have Constantinople journals and letters to
the 2d, brought by the Thabor. Everything was
perfectly tranquil in the Turkish capital, and Minis-
ters were taking advantage of the lull in political af-
fairs to occupy themselves seriously w ithl making im-
provements in different branches of the home admi-
nistration, particularly in the provinces where great
laxity in carrying out the provisions of the last
Hatti-humayoum had become apparent. . Several
governors have been already changed, and m many
of the towns the authorities have been dismissed
and replaced by others. The Journal de Constan-
tinople announces that Sir Henry Bulwer is about
to proceed to Syria. The Porte has addressed a
memorandum to the representatives of the foreign
Rowers relative to the suppression of the circula-
tion of Austrian copper coins, and the substitution
of native ones in their stead.
