TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 4th says :
" The Sultan has just dismissed his first chamber-
lain, Ghalib Bey. The reason assigned is that his
Majesty, having gone incognito to render assistance
in extinguishing a fire which broke out a few
nights back in the district of Bechiktache, near
the Imperial palace, remarked that Ghaiib Bey,
though residing there, did not present himself :
it is also said that his Majesty is irritated against
him for having made repeated demands to be
promoted to the grade of Muchir (Marshal), and
to obtain an increase of salary. A grand review
and manoeuvres took place a few days back war
the ' Waters of Europe.' The Sultan was not
present, but. the Minister of War, Namik Pacha
did the honours to Generals Codrington, Monte-
bello, and Willisen. General Codrington, who is
already decorated with the Order of the Medjidie
of the first class, has been presented by the Sultan
with a magnificent snuff-box, ornamented with
diamonds. He has left Constantinople, but is to
spend two or three days at the Dardanelles to
inspect the fortifications, and is afterwards to
stop some time at Athens. General de Montebello
has received from the Sultan the decoration of
the Medjidie of the first class, and so likewise
have General Willisen and Count Golez. General
de Montebello intends to remain here ten days
more. He is engaged in visiting the principal
curiosities of the city and environs, and in addition,
has frequent interviews with the Grand Vizir and
the other Ministers. The General, who has always
professed great sympathy for Turkey, lately paid
a visit with all his suite to Riza Pacha, and had
with him a conference which lasted about two hours.
After it Siza Pacha manifested great satisfaction,
but what was said by the General is not known.
Said Pacha, Viceroy of Egypt, lately visited the
Grand Vizir at the Sublime Porte, and two days
back dined with the Sultan, who shows him much
kindness. The Viceroy is studying the Turkish sys-
tem of military administration and of manoeuvres.
The Valide Sultana has just presented Sir H. Bul-
wer with a ring arnamented with brilliants, as a
testimony of her special esteem."
