review the two Russian divisions near Modlin,
but il is now stated that no such review Will TAKE
place. and that the Emperor will return to ST.
Petersburgh."
Other accounts state that the Emperor will not
visit Berlin, as has SO often been mentioned IN
previous advices. The annexed article, show
ing the cordialty existing between the two En-
perors, IS quoted from the LelPsic Gazette:
s.Durins the stay of the Emperor OF Russia at
Munchen Gratz, esolutions and nanueuVres were
performed by three regiments Of cavalry, and two
regiments Of infantry, in the presence OF his Ma
jssty. The regiment of hussars having particu.
lsrIy attracted the notice of the Emperor Nicho.
las by its fine appearance the Emperor OF Austria

Of the regiment. Two days after the Emperor

Emperor Francis. The Emperor Alexander had
done the same ON former occasion. The En-.

Many and conflicting are the accounts and
speculations, respecting the recent confiagratlons
at Coustantinople. The German papers, and
Paris letter writer's, are very active in these dis.
cussi0ns
..Letters are said, in one Of these papers. to
have been received direct from Constantinople,
affirming that the houses consumed by the late
conAagration were only 500, and that no insur-
rection actually took place; they admit that
mutiny existed among the troops, in consequence
of reduced pay, and that the Sultan only pre-.
vented an open rebellion by complying with
their demands. 1t is said, however, that more
recent accounts have been received from the
Turkish capital, via Belgrade, which assert upon
the authority of Russian Courier. that a new
fire had burnt down 1000 houses, and the mills
which supply the capital with Hour were In this
quarter. The consequent scarcity OF bread had
increased the public distress and discomfort. 1t
Is admitted that the Sultan's lite was not one mo
ment safe, and that he had, as his only means Of
protection. applied to the Russian Ambassador
for assistance--a step against which the English
and French Ambassadors protested. IL is most
likely, as We have said before, that those fires are
the work a. Russian emissaries, for the very pur
pose of compelling the Sultan TO call for the ex
ecu,ion Of the offensive and defensive treaty."
Letters from ConstantInople to the TIA Of Sep
TENDER. being three days later from that capital
than the anlecedent advices. were announced in
Paris on the 81 Of October.
at is said in these letters that The Sultan. 1t
was believed. had applied to the Russians Tor
troops 10 defend Inn against his own dissatisfied
subjects; and that, in consequence OF such an ap.
plica,on, the English and French squadrons will
remain eff the Darrlaneles. II l, added, that
the English and French Ambassadors had pro.
tested against the re. admsson o' Russian troops
TO the very gates of the capital. but that this step
on their part had been disregarded by the Sultan.
These incidents, however, were not known IN an
authentic manner to the writer's OF the letters.
who therefore allude to them as being merely re-
ported to have occurred"
The Paris Correspondent Of the London Cou-
rier, however, scouts these stories Of the alarm
lists. He says
The fact Of the confsgration is too true, but
any one at all acquainted with Turkish manners, |
knows that such events are Of frequent occurrence
either from private revenge, or the desire OF plum.
der, without any political feelings being concern |
ed. In the present instance, the contagrauon IS
of much greater extent than 90 any former occa.
SION; but in q town built Of such combustlble ma |
terials as CunstantinopIe, no conclusive argument
can be drawn from that fact. as lire which is on
ly intended to destroy one house may easily con- |
sumo thousand, in spite of all efforts to stop il.
Considerable discomfort happened to prevail at
the same time among the troops, but it arose from
q specific cause, and with that cause the effect
ceased. ANY application for or need Of Russian
Intervention to protect the Sultan never, be-
Iieve, existed"
Extract Of letter from TouloD, dated Sept. |
49," The inhabitants Of the Island Of Cyprus. |
overwhelmed By the burden Of taxes imposed by
the Sultan throughout the empire, in order to
raise the means Of fulfilling his secret engage
ments with the Emperor of Russia, have broken
out into open rebellion. The island has become
one general field of battle; bloody conbats TAX
log place at every point. The troops OF the Gov
