CoNsTANTINopLE, Nov. 1S, 1843.
We are Jogging on in our usual way OF intrigues
md quarres between the ambassadors of foreign
powers The Sultan could easily save large
sum, if he would DISMISS his own ministers, and
cave the management of his empire to- England
md France, or to Russia and Austria. Every APP
continent by the Divan is sure to give cause to re-
monstrances from one or the other of these gen
emen whose business it is to represent their lords
md masters at the Porte. So, for instance. the
Bosnia, was dsapproved by the Russian anlbas-
,ador England and France keep rather quiet tor
he present, because they have nothing to find
'ault with--the Turkish government having pro-
Missed a strict neutrality in the affairs of Greece
But il will not be long before they will begin again
quarrel, and Austria will have again to play the
mediator. 1t would be much better if the Sultan
,ould keep high hand over the foreign powers, as
he does over his own faithful subjects. One who
g troublesome, but usefsl, is appointed ambassa,
acs who sons 1 ohers Of ess

{ulation and poisoning form the principal levers Of
Turkish and Egyptian policy, as you can see from

moving obnoxious persons.
But ii is to be hoped that the cruel execution of
he Armenian Arghine, who fell sacrifice TO
Turkish religious preIudices, Tor having abured
lslamism, will exercise beneficial influence here
ifter. The energetic protesta!ions OF the French
md English ambassadors, supported by nearly all
} the diplomatcal corps, have induced the Sultan TO
modify those cruel laws, and to introduce spirit
of tolerance more in conformity with the present
state of civilization. The result of this inerces-
sion "a complete ministerial revolution. But
The most remarkable thing is the conduct of the
Sultan's mother, who blamed her son for his cru,
. lily, and reproached him with having lowered
Turkey in the eyes of Europe.
Women appear to play an important part in the
Politics OF the East. 1t is universally known, that
Mehemet trusts his female re ations with the most
delicate points of his internal policy. This is not
quite so astonishing if it is considered that they are
! Of mole liberal and faithful disposition, because
they never have any connexion with the priests,
