TURkEY.--Letters from Constantine.
pie, dated Jan. II, speak positively of the
disastrous situation of the Turks. 1t seems
certain that the fire which broke out in
the arsenel on the night Of the 25th ofJan-
uary, was caused by incendiaries, that the
damage done was very great, although the
Turks pretend that it was completely sub
dued without any considerable loss. tits
also confirmed that the Persans in the
neighborhood of Bagdad have made hostile
movements. These letters state, that LORD
Strangford had given great offence to the
majority of the Turkish Ministry, by the
positive tone in which he demanded on
the Oath of Jan. the immediate evacuation
of Walachia and Moldavia, but that he is
in favor with the Sultan and the Grand
Vlzier, who are both disposed to pacific
policy.
