which would not be until the 18th or 18th. The
choice of President of the Chamber of Deputies
would exercise considerable influence on the So
luton of the ministerial crisis.
It was reported at Madrid that the Spanish
Consuls at Bayonnc and at Perpignan had for
warded information to the government that the
Carlists were about TO attempt another lnsllrrec-
/ ton. This report, however, had not created any
sensation.
PoRTuGAL.-Lisbon papers to the oath April
give an account OF destructive fire which broke
out on the 22d, in large public building called
the Collcgio dos Nobres, formerly the .Jesuit's
College and lattcrly the Polytechnic School. 1t
appears the fire was caused by an explosion, which
took place while some chemical experiments were
being made.
The Duro Wine Company Bill had received the
royal assent, and the Pope had confirmed the APP
pointments of the Patriarch OF Lisbon. the Arch
bishop of Braga and the Bishop OF Lereia A
general feeling of regret seemed to prevail on ac-
count of the failure of the tariff negotiation.
TURKEY AND RUssIA.-Thc autograph cores
respondence between the Emperor Nicholas and
the Sultan, on the affairs of Scrvia, which has
Just come to hand, is made up of two interesting
State papers.
THAT correspondence exhibits, we venture to
assert, the designs of Russia and Turkey in a
more mdiSgulsed point of view, and in more I'M
equiyocal and audacous language, than any pre-
vious manifestation. The letter of the Gar would
almost seem TO have been composed for the ey-
press purpose OF arousing the other allies Of the
Sultan 10 a sense Of the danger impending over
the Ottoman Empire; in it alternately sparkle
rage and cunnng-a desire to prccptatc and
force the Porte into rupture with Russia, and
an intention TO test how far the Imperial designs
may-nnder the poor and wretchcd guisc OF regard
for treates-be advanced without resistance from
the other great powers Of Europe. Had 1t been
addressed to Grand Seignior before Turkey had
been dismcmbered oppressed, and half smothcred
by Christian intervention mediation, injurious
kindness and destructive support, the reply OF the
Sultan to such a communication would have been
made with the scimitar and not with the pen.
'Thc peaceful answer Of Abdul NIcdjid is how
ever as rcplctc with dignity, courtesy, modera
ton, firmncss, due sense of his own sovereign
power, kind and patcrnal regard for the constitu-
tional rights, happiness and prosperity of the-to
his Highncss-herctica Scrvians and calm reso-
luton not to be voluntary party to his own de-
graduation, or to the Reorganization of his En-
pirc. as the Empcror's letter Is crammcd with
monstrouS pretcnsons, improper language, mock
ing falsity threatening demands inconsistent
with the independence Of the Sultan and the good
government Of Scrvin, and utter disregard of the
treaty of 18th July 164l. The spirit of the
Cross seems 10 have fled from st. Petersburg and
sought refuge in Constantinope ; and the former
fury Of the Crescent have penetrated into Chris
tian councils
AusrRIA.-vlENNA, April lG.-It is reported
that the European Powers have almost come to
an agreement relative to the restoration of Prince
Milosct. If Russia were to deprive the Prince
of the rights of succession for his family, and
thus make concession to the Porte, our Cabinet
could adhere to such an arrangement with GER
tain notifications. It's believed that III the pre-
sent state of things Prince Milosch would be the
most likely person to guarantee the independence
