THE PORTE ANGRY.-The Porte is re-
ported very angry with the United States
for allowing the Russisn feet to remain in
American waters IL il not reported. how
ever, that the Porte is angry with the United
STATES because its citizens are permitted 70
fill Turkish orders for arms, If the United
States should order Turkish men-of-war out
of American waters, and permit Russian
men of war 20 remain, there would be cause
of complaint Meantime. both h-ets are well
come, as long Us they do not violate the laws
of neutrality. 1t is also reported that the
Porte is not pleased with the idea of English
occupation of Coustantinople. The sensible
and practical Turk in.imates 10 Enyland
that If she wants 20 assist, there Is fighting
gong on Oh the Danube and in Asia, but
that at Constautinople professed peace pre-

that if England stands aloof during the crit

her Interests renders her appearance neees-
siry, tha; the Turk will regard her an open
enemy with as much favor a. her lukewarm
friend. An alliance - entirely selfish as
that which leading English statesmen de-
clzre to be Englapd's policy, cannot be con-
sdered very complimentary to the Turkish
