Correspondence Of The Tribune.
WASHINGTON Tuesday, June Is 1850.
Letters received in this city from Mr.. MARSH, our
Minister at COnstantinople convey the information
that he has succeeded in prevailing upon the Turk
ish Government to send Commissioner to tho
United States for the purpose of examining In
stitutons and becoming better acquainted with the
commercial Importance of our country, &C. One Of
their most intelligent officers OF Government has
selectedfor that purpose and he is TO be accom-
panied by Mr.. BRows, the Dragoman and Acting
Secretary Of Legation at ConstantinopIe. They
may be looked for a. any moment, as they were to
embark for the United States the day subsequent
to the mailing Of Mr.. MARsHs letter.
learn that Mr. Marsh writes, that owing to tho
insdequscy Of bis salary he is limited in his useful
ness 10 that country The Turks Judge Of q nation
by the csentaton and parade Of ito representatives
at their court and a. our minister IL more parsimo
niously compensated than that OF any other DIpios
matte Agent at ConstantnoPle, he OF course can
make bat the least display and command bat the
less respect To republican ears this may not sound
very democratic, nor comport with their ideas OF
what should be the department OF our minIsters
abroad but If they are sent 10 foreign courts for the
DuTpcfc, among Ctner tnings 0t tdsducinB INC com~
nerc~ interests OF the country, they should be
pected to respect that old adage-" When you ara
among the Turks you must do as the Turks do"
Those who are acquainted with Mr. Marsh, his hab-
its and bis education, will not accuse him Of arsto-
cratic or extrevagant dess in matters OF this kind
His complaint in this respect Is consequently tho
more entitled 10 consideration. His object 10 To
eneft his country, and TO open up commercial adj
vsntages with Torkeyn not previously enjoyed by
Us: and If this can only be accomplished by an OUT
ward show and parade, which In our estimation
may be an unmeanhg ceremony, let the parade be
made so that the advantages 70 the country are ac-
gVired.

The reported release OF the Cuban prisoners
turned cut precisely a. supposed it woulds-s
humbug. Had any such results followed, our Consul
at Havana would have furnished such informaxioR
to the President a speedily Is it could have bssa
conveyed by others TO New Orleans, and thence
