Turkey.
CoHsrANTINoPLE, MARCH I7.-Advics from Con-
stantinope OF the 18th ult from Athens OF the 18th,
and from Smyrna of the I'D ult have been received
From the Turkish capital the news is confined to the
New-years-day address of the Sultan to the Council
Of Ministers; their Exccllencies' answer; and the
Imperial Haiti Sheriff for the dismissal Of the Greek
Patriarch. IL is impossible not toadmire the good in
tentions of the Sultan, who has already devolved
upon his Council the shadow of the functions Of a
Parliament. Whether there il sufficient vitality
in the political body to recover its pristine
ergy under any treatment, is doubted by many;
but allowing such to be the fact il does not rctract
in the least from the admiration due the youthful
Reformer, aud should incline us the more to pay
him the homage OF eur sympathy.

NAMED in Cairo but two three days, and left that
city for Rosetta the 18th instant, and inspected
the forts He arrived here this norning Ii is said
he has ordered levy of 100 900 blacks from SEMINAR
and its vicinage, and also levy Of 40 900 men from
the Hedjar besides number Of troops recalled from
that quarter. With all these preparations for war,
one can scarcely imagine IL is the intention Of the
Pacba to submit to the decision Of the Allied Powers
upon the Tnrco Egyptian question; and yet how
much more difficult il il 10 believe he will with
bausted treasury, q dissatisfied people, and army
Of raw recruits, dare to oppose any Of the Three
Powers.
