CONSTANTINOPLE, 7TH OF JUNE.-011 the Ist the mom-
hors of the Ottoman Cabinet and the high dignitaries of the
State met in Council, the Suhail being President, and re-
mained in deliberation for several hours. On the 2d an ex-
traordinary Council was held, and yesterday another took place.
Baron de bourqueney addressed a note yesterday to the Porte,
demanding satisfaction for an insult offered at lieyront to a
French Lieutenant on board the Surprise brig, by two Alba-
Man soldiers. This rote ocasioned some long communications
with the Ambassador, and a meeting of the Council, The
sultan's Government, seeing that the complaint was made nn
just grounds, agreed to &rant the satisfaction demanded. In
consequence, the French war schooner, the Alesange, is to set
sail from the liosphortis to morrow, to deliver an order to the
Aloustapha Paella to give up the two culprits, who are to be
brought to Constantinople to receive a severe punishment.
Yesterday, Chekib Effendi, formerly Ambassador of the Porte
at London, was ordered to repair to Wallachia, to arrange cer,
twin differences which have arisen between the Prince and the
Primates of that principality."
The following is also from the Journal de Smyrne
The little island of Calymnos has just been the theatre
of grave events, which call for the solicitude of the Sultan's
Government. The inhabitants, having refused to pay an
annual duty of 100 piastres for each boat and 18 for each
man employed in the sponge fishery, an Ottoman brig of
war was despatched, towards the end of the month, to en-
force payment. The Captain on his arrival had an inter-
view with the Primates, who promised to exert their influence
to persuade the population to pay the tax, the moderate
amount of which was not contested, The next day one cf the
Primates, named Ismayl, was invited to dine on board, and
whether from having drunk too much, or front some other
cause, died suddenly on board. The inhabitants, when
in-
formed of this event, accused the Captain of having poisoned
their Primate, and, having risen tumultuously, attacked the
boat which brought the body to the shore, broke it in pieces,
and killed five of the crew, The brig immediately brought her
broadside to bear on the town, and destroyed sory,e stores
which were within her range. Some Europeans, who hap,
pened to be at Calymnos, then interposed their ntediation, and
obtained a cessation of all hostilities on both sides, until orders
should be received from Constantinople. Nothing '
as vet taken place. has

ANTwElP't•TViiii,% 24,----The British Queen arrived here
this mo,rning (the 24th) at half-past eight. It has there-
fore performed the voyage in less than 17 days.—Juur-
nal du Commerce d'Anvers, June 25,

A few days since 4 riunther of men, employed in
diving the canal ol Maurage, near Vaucouleurs, in the Meuse,
imprudently lighted a tire in one of the subterranean excava-
tion , by the smoke of which eight of them were suffocated.
A elergyinan, who addresses the Editor of the
Church lutellfpwer, thus describes the state of the parish of
which he has the spirr ual supervision:—" My duties are here
so onerous, that I have been able to overstep the boundaries of
my parish but four times since October last. Here are seven
meeting-houses, nineteen preachinr, shops, one hundred and
seven. fellows who put on a black coatrs and a white tie, and call
themselves preachers, prayer and class leaders in abundance,

down to the River Plate by the Cockatrice : end the return
advices brought up by the Viper. Her Majesty's ships left
in Rio harbour were the Isis and Crescent, ketch Sparrow, and
brig Curlew.. The next packet following, the peterei. arrived

Her Majesty's corvette Rose bad sent into port a slave prize,

being condemned, would be in a few days sent to Jamaica

Brazilian ships of war at Rio.—The Principe Imperial, Para-
guassa, Campista, AndroMache, and transport Paraiba.
The crops of coffee (1842) will, it is supposed, exceed last
tear's produce by 1,100,000 bags. The season in the interior
had, generally speaking, been favourable, and the harvest of
Indian corn, beaus, and rice, was expected to be plentiful.
Considerable excitement exited on the slave question. It
was believed that the British Government bad proffered to ex •
tend to Brazil the same measures she proposes to the Spanish
Government to adopt in the Spanish %Vest India possessions.
The daily cress teemed with tirades against what is termed the
psendo-philanthropy of England. An address on the subject,
tram the provincial legislature of Rio, also gave rise to a copious
discharge of Brazilian bile.
Some ferment also predominated respecting the anticipated
dissolution of the new Chamber of Deputies, elected in 1841.
The session was to be opened on May 3 ; and the general opi-
nion is, that shortly afterwards the decree for the dissolution
would be issued. Some modification is likely to take place in
the Ministry. Vasconcellas, it is said, will come in for the in •
tenor, Alves Branco, for finance, and Rodriguez Torres for
the marine.

Passengers—Messrs. Coleman, Guieguer, Witt, Poole,
Webb, Alehorne, and Canter. Freight estimated at 28,000/.

The difficulties which occur in some provinces in obtaining
precise accounts of the quantities of corn, and of the agricul-
tural produce, have convinced the Minister of the Interior of
the necessity of requiring an annual return. The Magistrates
of the Cornmones have, therefore, been requested to ascertain
every year the number of acres employed in the cultivation of
the several kinds of produce, so that it may be possible, be-
ginning with the year 1843, annually to obtain before the 15th
of January, an accurate account of the produce of the harvest
of the preceding year.
