departure can hardly be supposed to have
taken place earlier than the evening of the
18th, or the morning of the 18th"
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. 10. On the 9th,
news was received at Constantinople that
Fabviere, supported by Lord Cochrane, had
made landing on the Isle of Scio, and that
the Pacha and the Turks had been obliged
to retire into the fort.
| The news of this expedition, IN which the
Turks suspected the Allies of having taken
part arrived while the Divan was deliber-
atlng on the steps to be taken in conse-
| quence of the events at Navarin, and it
greatly increased the irritation already felt.
| The Refs Effendi declared on the 9th to
the Dragomans of England, France and
Russia, That all intercourse between the
Porte and the Representatives of the three
Courts were suspended till the moment
when it should be known whether they 1.-THE
Courts) desisted from all interference in
the affairs of whether his sublm-
ity should receive an indemnity for the los
ses and damage caused by the destruction
of his feet-and whether he should receive
satisfaction for the insult which had been
offered him." This declaration produced
on the 10th an answer from the Ambassa-
doris, which is believed to contain the de-
mand of their passports.
1t was affirmed, that on the very day
when the Turkish declaration was made to
the Dragomans of the Allied Courts the
Refs Efendi caused a note to be delivered
to the Austrian Internuncio, in which the
Porte, protesting its desire to remain at
peace with the Allied Powers, notwithstand-
ing the affair at Navarin, requested the me-
diation of Austria. 1t was said that the con-
ditions fixed by the Porte for this reconcil-
iatlon with the powers appeared of such
nature that they would not be accepted.
CoNsTANTINoPLE, Nov. Z. "The Porte
has taken a very strong resolution, and has
therefore put stop to all the uncertainties
that had agitated the capital for week
past. The catastrophe at Navarin was
known in the Seraglio on the goth, and so
eXasperated the Sultan that nobody dared
/ to 90 near him for IL hours. The Refs Eff
/ fendi at length, on the 3D., sent for the Drag
omans Of the three powers, and appeared in
a state of CONSERVATION which is not to be
described. Without speaking to them of
the consequences of the affair, he asked
them the reason of such breach of faith,
and dismissed them, after giving an evasive
answer, with forced composure, adding
this remarkable declaration,- tie Porte
deeply regretted having listened for mo-
ment to the nslnuations and the promises
of the three Ambassadors their pres
ence at Constantinople was Indifferent to
the Porte,-that no advice would be given
them either to go or stay, that they were at
liberty to determine what they should do :;
lastly that the Sultan had resolved to break
off all intercourse with them
THUS the Franks passed in the greatest
alarm the two days, during which the Mus
sulmans seemed to expect with Impotence
the resolutions Of their Sultan, who had
convoked great assembly of the Divan.
This assembly was held at the Mufti's: and
all the Ulemas-and even those who were
adverse to the new system-Were summon
ed to attend it. The result of the delibera-
lions was anxiously expected at Pera. Yes
terday at two O'Clock nothing certain was
yet known. But in the evening energetic
measures were generally spoken of as hav-
ing been the result of it,
Z" 1t is affirmed that all the treaties with
the three Powers, France, England and
Russia, and especially the convention of
Akerman, were declared null and void :;
that the Porte breaks off all negotiations
with the Ambassadors of the three Powers :;
that it, however, considers them as under
the protection of the law of nations, and
that it intends to provide for their personal
safety so long as they remain on the Turk
ish territory. This declaration has been
communicated to NJ d'Ouenfels.
at Is now expected that hatti-scheriff
of the Sultan will be published, ordering all
Mussulmans to take arms, and the standard
OF the Prophet to he displayed on ST. Sophia
to rally the faithful. 1t is recollected what
this palladium effected eighteen months
ago, at the destruction of the Janisaries,
when it served to keep in check the enc
mics of the Sultan. At the moment when
the Porte made this declaration, all imarin-
able precautions were taken for the safety
of the Franks, and the guards were doub-
led at the gates of the Ambassadors. Hith-
erto every thing has remained TRANQUIL.
But the Franks, who have since been oblig-
ed by their business to go into the streets
OF the capital, say that its appearance is so
changed, that it is hardly to be known
The Turks are transported with Joy at the
resolution of their Sultan, and the approach
ing union of all Mussulmans. 1t is natural
that great apprehension should be enter
tanned, Notwithstanding all the precautions
that have been taken. People are anxious
to see what will be done by the Ministers of
the three Courts, who have continual con-
ferences with NJ. d'Ottenfels, who is at pres
ent the protector of the Franks. 1t is said,
that M. de Ribeaupierre has resolved to de-
part Immediately. The haiti scheriff, an
nouncing the resolutions taken in the last
Divan, is expected to appear tomorrow.
These resolutions appear even to the Franks
themselves to be the only means of saving
the Ottoman Empire, provided the Sultan
is able again to rally the Mussulmans. At
ter the convention of the 9th July, the en-
pire had hardly any alternative but the
choice of fall more or less remote"
