The following connected account of the recent oc-
currences in Turkey is compiled from CONSTANT
nople letters of the 23d:
For some days before Prince Menschikof quilted Con-
stannople lat five o'clock the 2lst it generally
known that the Porte would not yield hairs breadth,
and consequently no one was astonshed when, on the
10TH it TRANSFERRED that the demands Of the Russian Cab
net had been defnitivey rejected In his final
nication to the Porte the Prince says
"The refusal of the Turkish Government TO give formal
guaranty for the complete realization Of the privileges granted
to the GrecoRussan church in Turkey forces the Russian
Government to employ all the means its power obtain its
terests Of the subjects Russia strongly recommended
the Porte"
The meaning of this is too obvious for it to be doubt
ed that the Prncpalties will Immediately be occupied
The Porte appears to be prepared for declaration of
war; three army corps about to be formed in Eu
ropean and many in Asiatc Turkey The latter say
the correspondents of the Trest Zetung and the Oes
Deutsche Post will be reinforced by 900 men, who
will be conveyed from Egypt to- Syria. The commander
Of the Egyptian feet and army is Suleiman Pacha ayes
with the Princes Said and Ahmet his generals The
| Pachas omsr Namik, and Selim will have the command
Of the European army corps Said and Ahme eaready

A telegraphic despatch on the oath of May from AL
bana informs that 0mer Pacha had issued orders to
the troops under his command to prepare to march Only
three battalons to be left in the pashalk One hun
dred thousand men will be raised IN European turkey
and thirty of the most opuent Turkish Pachas have Of
fered raise free corps at their expense The Ue
mae with the Multi at their head waited the Sultan
10 inform him that the first signal 80 900 sturdy young
should be at his disposal Similar Populations have
been sent from Arabia and Persia.
correspondent of the Triest Zeitung observes with
great truth that when the Emancipation hrman is pro-
mugaed it will act ent to the different Christian
elements in Turkey and make them disinclned
TO Russia than at present.
The general opinion is, that the influence OF Russia
must receive terrible blow from the failure Of Prince
Menschkofs mission.
The Impariae de Smyrne checks off the strength Of the
several Of the Turkish army and gravely tells
that it amounts to $50 900 men and 200 cannon.
The Cologne Gazette has the following under the head
Of Constantnople May %: The Sultan in putting his
signature to the rejecting the propositions Of
Prince Menschkof is reported to have said Il really
cannot understand what il is attempted TO exact from
desire only the happiness Of all my subjects, without
distinction Of religious creed and have shown this desire
with ardor than any Of my predecessors and yet
the display this feeling the less gratitude do find
on the part OF the Christian Princes who my neigh
bors The Sultan then signed, in a bold hand. The
language Of the Sultan has spread every where and has
produced electrical effect Never was Sultan be-
loved by his subjects"
The various organs Of the Austrian press contain infor
nation from the Turkish capital Of considerable mpor-
lance but the place OF honor must be accorded to the

proved incorrect " 1t is plain sailing. Russia in
sists the exclusive Proectorac the Greeks resd
ing in Turkey. The Porte offers TO grant complete civil
emancipation all its on-Mahomedan subjects and to
place them under the protection Of all the great Powers

sentatves Of Austria and Prussia for their own part
