"First-What are the instructions. that
the Porte has sent to Ibrahim Pacha?
Second-In what light the Porte would
consider hostile operations on the part of
the three squadrons, if occasioned by Ibra-
him Pacha persisting to refuse compliance
with the declared will of the Allied Courts
"Third-Does the Porte persist in its
refusal to accede to the proposals made by
the Allied Courts ?"
/ The Refs Effendi, who was still ignorant
of the events of the Goth of Oct. gave the
following answers to the three questions =
"The Porte has not questioned the Allied
Courts respecting the instructions they have
given to the commanders Of their squadrons
it therefore does not feel Itself obliged to
communicate to the Courts the instructions
given to its. General.
"We hope that no hostilities have taken
place, and we not feel disposed to declare
now what we should do or not do in certain
cases. People do not give a name to a
child before it is born and its sex known.
"The Porte will never depart from the
principles it has already expressed"
On the same day the first accounts of the
battle of Navarino were received by the
Porte and the Austrian lnternuncio. The
/ latter immediately sent to the Refs Ehendi
to urge him to do his utmost to dissuade the
/ Porte from all precipitate measures, and
+, he supported his advice by all the argu-
ments which he could command in such
complex state of AFFAIRS in his capacity as
representative of a great Court, whose con-
slant endeavors are devoted to the preser-
walton of perpetual tranquility.

similar instructions, and animated by the
same sentiments, was not wanting on his
part in endeavoring to make the Porte SEN
sibe Of its own interest.
On the I'd, the Refs Efendi sent for the
dragomans of the three Ambassadors, that
they might give him some explanation of
what had passed.
! Their answers were not considered by
the Turkish Minister as satisfactory, and
the Refs Effendi declared on the following
day, that the answer of the Ambassadors of
the three Courts had given different face
! to the whole affair, and removed it from the
! domain of politics to that ofreliglous legis-
lation. The Refs Effendi, however, request
ed the Austrian InternunCio to induce the
Ambassadors of the three Courts to draw
up Declaration, which he would endeavor
to support in the Divan. The Internuncio
Immediately conferred on the subject with
his three colleagues. On the 4th Novem-
Der the Interpreters of the three Ambassa-
doris brought a written Declaration, which
however did not produce the effect desired.
On the 9Th, there was grand meeting of
the Divan, at the residence of the Multi.
The Imperial lnternuncio chose the mo-
ment when the council was assembled, and
sent his first interpreter, Won Huszar, to
call the Refs Effendi out, and deliver him a
note, full of the most friendly exhortations.
No final Resolution was taken in the
Council.
The 9th and 9TH, passed in conferences
between the lnteruncio and the three Am
