The Eastern Question.
The Pq,4s Constitutional says:


isadors sent e5Aiaccioto Besika, with NJ Bene-
etti, 6t Secretary of Embassy, to request the two
Admirals to send up some large vessels to Con-
stantnople, and on the 3ths and 10th two English
steam frigates, the Niger and the Tiger, aud two
Frenchb the Mogador and the Conner, arrived. On
board the last named vessel was Rear Admiral Lee
barber de Tinan, who then had under his orders,
in addition to the above named fngateS, six other
steatneIs5 the RetribUtion the corvette Fury, and
the Caradoc, for the English; and the Sane, the
Chaptal aud the aiaccio, for the French; in all
fFgateS two coEvettes and two steamers of smaller
force, without reckoning the Frledand, the repairs
of which will be completed beture the end of the
month. AS to the motives which may have led to
this display Of force, our correspondent has more
difficulty in explaining them, considering that it
was for the religious ceremony of the 18th, that
uneasiness was felt, and that that ceremony was
over on the very day whenthe first vessels arrived
from Beska. The Porte had besides taken every
proper precaution 10 secure the safety of the Sui
tan, who was to show himself IN the midst OF the
procession of the Bairam. All the troops in the
neighboEhood of COnstantinople were brought
nearer to thecapitol, and nothing happenedto JUS
tify the fears which might have been entertain-
ed. Reports of all kinds continued in ciTcula-
ton at Consantinople, as TO the rece ption given
by Russia to the notifications made by the Di-
van in the note of Vienna. While some persons
no pretend to be ell informed, affirm that Rus
STA had consented to accept the modified note 9TH
eIs entertain completely different opinion. The
one found their ideas adViceS Ionl Vienna, and
the others on those from france. Aicourier from
st. Petersburgh was expected, from whom the COLI
rect version would be obtained. To sum up, in
spite of certain degree of agitation on the 18th,
the Divan had never ceased to be master OF the
situation at Constantinope, and was able at full
liberty to judge of the diplomatic communications
which have been sent TO it on the subject of the
last reply made by Reschid Pacha to the note of
the Conference" stl W

awe have received letters from ConStantinople
to the 10Th, which were brought by the Nil. They
Inernit US 10 give with somewhat more precision
than the teegraphic dispatches do some details as
to the proceedings of the Ulemas. ltwas in the
rank of the muderTis (proteSSurS) of this learned
body that the idea OF presenting petition to the
Sultan originated. It was signed By about sixty
members, and deputation of fifteen members
lpresented it The prayer of it-draWn up, We are
told, in becoming terms, and supported by texts
! from the Koran-calleI on The Sultan to declare
war against Russia, as the only means OF protect
ing the honor of the throne and the independence
of the empire, the only line of conduct, in tact,
traced out by the principles of lslamism. 1t app
pears that this step at first made profouudimpreS!
sion on the part Of the Cabinet least disposed to
expose themselves to the perilS of war. But by
degrees they perceived that the mudeTrS wereouly
the instruments of the war party, at the heal oil
which were Mehemet Ali, brother-in-law of the
| sultan, ana helelQ6L Intimate au+
wiser of Mehebet Ali, two men TO whom is attTib-
luted more ambition than patriotism and devoted
ness to their sovereign. The Sheick ul-slam hay-
ing called the mudeIrS to him, reproached them
with their conduct, and blamed exceedingly pro-
ceeding unexAmpled IN the annals of the empire,
and an encroachment on the rights of the Sultan,
| to whom alone as sovereign and head of the Splr-
itua power, ii belongs to decide questions within
/ The range of his divine right. The mudelris pro-
tested that they were actuated by pure intentions,
and declaring that they were perfectly devoted 10
the Sultan, expressing great regret for what they
had done, and declared that he who had urged
/ them on was the hGljG (preceptOr) of Mehemet
/ Ali. They persisted, however, in affirming that
war was indispensable, being commanded alike by
religion and by the interests of the empire. ltwas
under the impression of this manifestation, which
by no means had the alarming character attributed
to ii, that the ambassadors considered it necessary
TO call up patt of the fleets to protect the Sultan,
the Christians, andthe city from the consequences
Iof an agitation which might break out at any mo-
lment The Porte at first was not much disposed to
accept the offer OF the ambassadors, but in the end
| consented, and NJ. Benedict proceeded to BeSka
| Bay, in the Aiaccio. Two steam frgateS, the Go
mer and Mogador, the first having A miral Lehar-
bier on board, soon after arrived. The most COM
plete tranquility prevailed at Constantinople, the
more remarkable because during the feast of the
Baram the whole population is out Of doors. The
i Europeans, more numerous than ever, were pres
Tested. On the contrary. the greatest condsiera-
i ton was shown them from every quarter. The
news from the provinces were good; aud Bulgaria
about which some fears had been entertained, was
| perfectly tranquil
! The Cologne Gazette has the following from
| Berlin, dated the 25th:
at is asserted in well-informed circles that the
dispatch of Count Ne, Selrode, as published by
Berlin journal, is not complete. Several impor-
tant passages, it is said, have been omitted
| letter from Berlin states that in order that
Prussia may not be taken by surprise, the Govern
meut has decided thatThe new steam corvette the
Dantzig shall proceed to Constantnople, and be
placed at the disposal of NJ. de Wildenbruch, the
| PrusSian ambassador. 3.E

made by the Cologne Gazette that the Russian
Consul at Eucharist had requested the Daube
Steamboat Company to place 60 vessels at his dis
poSal.
The Wanderer of Vienna, in POSTSCRIPT to a
letter from Constantinople of the 18th, says:
Frhe news ofthe rejection by the Cabinet of St.
Petersburg of the notifications made in the note
Vienna has this instant arrived here. tits the more
difficult to say what impression this account has
produced onthe Turks, as an account of contra
ny sense had been just before received from Odes-
Sa.'
A letter from ConstantinopIe of the 10th, in The
Lloyds of Vienna, says that the Sultan had refused
to sign warlike manifesto to be addressed TO the
nation. 1t adds that the Great Powers hal not
succeeded in causing the Divan TO accept the note
of Vienna without notifications.
1t is stated IN letter from Rustjuck of the 14th
in the Press of Vienna. that Omar Pacha had left
Varna to make an inspection of the forttesses of
the the Danube, and that Col Magnan, of the en-
gineers. was replacing him. The letter says that
Omar Pacha was entirely surrounded by French
refugees, some of whom were renegades, and that
they doing all they could to excite the fanat-
icism OF the Turkish troops. 1t is added that the
Greek priests were hastily leaving RoUmelia.
The Hamburgh Correspondent, under date of
Vienna, says:
eve learn, that as.regards the conclusion of the
new loan of the Austrian Government, the pro-
gramme would have already appeared had not the
Minister of Finance considered it necessary to
modifyit. This having been done, it will shortly
be published. The loan will be contracted abroad
and will be for thirty millions o. FORMS
Th. independence, of Brussels, says:
Letters from Vienna of the 23d state that the
representatives. of the powers forming the confer
ence; had held sitting on the previous evening,
before the departure of NJ. de Buol O'mutz. In
this sitting this statesman is said to have declared
that in presence of the last communication made
in the name Of the English Government, namely.
