TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople of the 31 in the Con-
stitationnel says—" You perhaps supdesed that the
question relative to the Hungarian refugees was ter-
minated by the convention between the Porte, Russia,
and Austria, hut that is not the case. This question
seems destined to drag on, like all those relative to the
east, awl Austria has just raised pretensions which
threaten to revive the matter with all the accessories of
not,s, negotiations, and interventions. According to the
convention mentioned above, the Porte engaged to keep
under its guard the Hungarian refugees for a year, con-
ceiving the period to begin from the time when they
sought refuge in the Ottoman territory, unless the
tranquillity of Hungary was anew trouhlA within
that period. But as everything is tranquil in the
Austrian monarchy, and as the term expires this
month, the Porte has manifested the intention of
restoring Kossuth and his companions to liberty.
For that purpose, measures were taken to place at
the diapcsal of the refugees a state vessel to
transport them to England, or even America ;I
and a sum of 500 piastres (125 fr.), was to be die,-
