tan.
There has been ministerial crisis at Con-
stantinople. The Serasker and Capudan Pa
cha have been replaced by Ria Pacha and
another Turk, both supposed to be more fa-
vorable to peace. Redschid Pacha, however,
still remains at the head of the ministry
Omer Pacha is laid up at Widdin with typhus
fever.

France are making active preparations for a
war with Russia.

ments. 1t is thought that the central powers
cannot long retain their neutrality-the fire
must burn-the long pent up gasses of Euro
pean tyranny must and will explode; but as
to the result, God only knows.
