TURKEY.

Constantinople letters and journals of July 1
have reached us. They give long accounts of
Prince Napoleon's arrival and proceedings, already
known in a general manner by telegram. The fol-
lowing account, condensed from the Levant Herald,
will under the circumstances suffice : —Prince Na-
poleon arrived from Bucharest, via Varna, on Sa-
turday morning, and was met at the entrance of
the Bosphorus by Raouf Pasha, one of the Imperial
aides-de-camp, to welcome him in his Majesty's name.
The yacht cast anchor at Ainale-Kavack, and his
Highness at once proceeded down to Dolinabatkche,
whit's, the Sultan had come is from Voldi7
to receive his illustrious guest. After the audience,
the Prince returned up the Bosphorus and landed
at Hunkiar-skelessi-kiosk, at which, about an hour
afterwards, his Majesty returned the visit. His
Highness, however, slept on board the Jerome
Napoleon. . . On Sunday he received several
visits, and in the evening was the guest of M.
Bouree at a grand dinner, to which the Grand
Vizier, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and seve-
ral other members of the Government_ but none
of the diplomatic body except M. Bertinatti—werc
invited to meet him. A portion of the Sultan's
band was in attendance during the dinner. The
Prince wore the Osiname in brilliants, which
had been sent to him by the Sultan on Satur-
day afternoon. Monday was chiefly spent
party rode
in excursions up and down the Bosphorus.
On Tuesday his Highness and a lively
from Buyukdere to Belgrade, and breakfasted under
the shade of Godfrey de Bouillon's historic oak. On
his return in the afternoon he visited Baron Prokesh
in Pera, and sebsequently called on Mustapha
Fazyl Pasha at Kaudili. The idea of the Prince's
opening M. Bourec's lyce3 has, we learn, been aban-
doned, the convenances standing too visibly in the
way of any one but the Sultan himself inaugurating
an establishment which professes to be Imperial and
Turkish. This (Wednesday) evening he will dine
Atvwietive ;
h the
aSultan
to-morrowa t Bey 1 ewr
will
yb ,e at
the
e a
guest of the Ita-
lian small party of
Minister. His visit will not, it is aid, extend
over Monday." The store journal has the follow-
ing :—" The anniversary of the Sultan's accession
was celebrated on Thursday with the full comple-
ment of official and pyrotechnic honours. Shortly
after noon his Majesty held a rikuab at the Palace,
which was attended by all the Ministers and prin-
cipal functionaries, the diplomatic body, and the
chiefs of the native Christian and Jewish commu-
nities. In the evening A'ali Pasha gave the usual
banquet at Bebek 4o a hundred and twenty
native official and diplomatic guests. The dinner
was served in the beautiful conservatory of his
Highness's yali. The festivity of the evening,
however, was clouded by an untoward accident on
Joard the French despatch-boat Ajaccio, in the
lowering of a boat to land M. Bouree and his
first secretary and dragoman. By some mishap,
the boat capsized on reaching the water, and
the two men in her were thrown out. One only of
the poor fellows could be rescued, the other being
carried away by the current under the eyes of the
Pasha's assembled guests. On shore, the illumina-
tion of the yali audits fine gardens was as splendidly
perfect as on any previous occasion, and on both
sides of the strait all the great mansions were simi-
larly lit up. Below, in the capital, all the public
buildings, and many private houses on both sides
of the Horn, were also fringed with the usual
luminous lines of white and coloured lamps ;

whilst afloat, on the Bosphorus, from Balata up
to Yenitnahale, the frequent discharges of fire-
works took place from floating stages from nine
p.m. till nearly miduight.—A regrettable con-
flict occurred on Saturday morning at Routneli-
hissar, in the Bosphorus, between the captain of the
English barque Kirkwood and the master and crew
of an Ottoman brig Commanded by a rayah Greek
reis, in which the latter, when in the act of attempt-
ing to stab one of the crew of the barque, was shot
down by the master of the latter vessel. Up till
yesterday the wounded man was reported to be
dead, and at the last moment we are glad to hear
that he is still alive. In the meantime, the English
skipper has been arrested, and is in the British
Consular prison, awaiting trial before the Supreme
Court for firing the shot.—Cura"Pearl, the famous
Phryne of Paris, arrived by the Varna steamer of
Friday, and alighted at_Lapierre's Hotel, Buyuk-
dere."
