 LLAYE ISLAND OF MITYLENE.
Porte nformed That the French Gov ernment Wa! Resume Diplomatic He- Intions Sultan signs an Trade for the Execution of His Engagements-
stantimOple shortly.

Paris, Nov. 1o.-It is officially announced that the sultan of Turkey having acceded to all the claims of the French government M. Delcasse, min- ister of foreign affairs. has informed the porte that France will resume dip ! lomatic relations with Turkey and that Admiral Caillard's division of the French Mediterranean scuadron has been ordered to leave Mitylene. The French foreign office has an- nounced that the sultan has signed an trade for the execution of his engage ments with the French government and that the Franco Turkish dispute is now at an end.
 Tewflk Pacha. Ottoman minister of foreign affairs. wrote a letter to M. Bapst, councillor of the French em- bassy in Constantinople. notifying him of the signing of the trade, which. while settling the original French de- mands, accepts the fresh demands as set forth in a dispatch to the Temps from Constantlnople Friday and cabled to the Associated Press, together with an additional clause by which the sul- tan pledges himself to consider as au- thorized in full right the foundations, extensions, constructions and repairs of the schools and religious and hospitable establishments which France may de- sire to carry out if the porte Is advised of her intentions, and makes no obiec- tion within five months.
 France has thus received full satis- faction and M. Delcasse, on the receipt of M. Bapst's dispatch this morning telegraphed him to inform Tewfik Pacha that diplomatic relations had been resumed and that M. Bapst should consider himself as regularly charged with the affairs of the embassy.
 Instructions were also sent to Ad- mira Caillard at Mitylene to re-embark the marines and to return to Greek wa ters, which Is understood to mean the vicinity of the Island of Syra. Admiral Cailard will remain in the Levant some time longer
 M Constans, the French ambassador, will return to Constantinople very shortly.
 The additional clause was conceded at the request of France in order to prevent future difficulties, such as the Turkish provincial authorities have of ten raised either on their own initiative or in consequence of instigation by the porte.
 The Temps which describes the result as brilliant victory for French diplo- macy" says: "The great merit of the government was in being able to re- strict it's action Very serious difficult ties might have arisen had France de- parted from her reserve. The favora- ble disposition shown to our representa- lives abroad has been due to the fact that the civilized world has had oppor- tuntty during the last seven years to observe the progress of the anti-Euro- pean movement In the sultan's councils. Frenchmen, Americans, Austrians, Ital- fans, and Britons have all been victim ized by the sultan and his councillors. After the Armenian massacres and the successful war with Greece they thought everything was permitted them
 We hope that the sultan will now understand his duties toward the civil- iyed powers and toward his own sub iects until whom be has taken solemn engagements which he has always dis regarded. Otherwise Europe. which thanks to the energetic action of France, is now able to reassume at Constantinople the authority she lost several years ago, will applaud the in- itiative which the signatory powers of the Berlin treaty are reported to be about to take to extort from the sultan the execution of clauses too long fallen into disuse."
