CHANGE OF MINISTER'S, &C.

CHANGE OF MINISTER'S, DC.
LONDON, May 29.-It was reported in
Constantinople yesterday that slmultane-
ously with changes in the Government al
ready announced, Redif Pasha, former
Minister OF War, &c., will succeed Fuad
Pasha, and that Osman and Mukhtar Pashas
have been appointed to commands in ASIA.
The superseding OF Sadvk Pasha, chief OF
the Ministry, by RuShdi Pasha, and the de-
siepation of the latter as Grand Vlzler, is
distinctly reactionary step. Rushdi, how
ever, is an advocate OF peace.
Russia.
ST. PETERSBURG, May 29.-The semi-of-
fetal journal OF St. Petersburg expresses
satisfaction at the progress made towards
the assembling OF the congress and the es-
tablishment of an understanding, and adds !:
6. Although in view OF the existence Of a
war party in Constantinople, Pesth, and
London some reserve is still necessary, yet
every day tends to promote a peaceful set

The Eastern question.
MEETING OF THE CONGRESS-B1SMARCK, &c.
LONDON, May 29.-The peace feeling is
not quite so buoyant to-day as yesterday.
The uneasiness is caused by the apparent
change in the attitude Of Austria. While
England agrees to the congress, Austria is
making demonstrations unfavorable to Rus
STA. There is no doubt of the fact that the
congress will meet.
The PAIL Mall Gazette's Berlin CORE
spondent states that formal invitations to
attend the congress will be issued as soon
as all the Powers have answered in formal
communications in regard to the date and
other particulars OF the meeting. Prince
Bismarck has been advised by his ply
sicians not to take part in the congress,
as his personal attendance might prove too
exciting and laborious for him IN the pre-
sent condition OF his health. 1t is probable,
however, that he will attend at the close OF
the deliberations and give his formal sane
ton to the proceedings.
THE PROPOSED BRITISH PRoTECToRATE OVER
AsIAT1C TURKEY.
LONDON, May 29.-The Times continues
to dwell on the necessity OF British pro-
tectorate for Turkey in Asia. The IGtt
Mall Gazette, in its leading editorial yester.
day, took the same ground, and argued that
such protectorate was absolutely necessary
in the interest OF future peace. The Gazette
has hitherto rejected every suggestion o.
infringement on Turkish independence.
