SETTLES ORIGINAL FRENCH DE-
MANDS AND ACCEPTS THE
LATER ONES.

Paris, Nov. 12.-Diplomatic relations
between France and Turkey have been
resumed, and the French admiral at
Nitylene has been ordered to re-em-
bark his marines.
France has gained a victory in
diplomacy, and Turkey has learned
that she can no longer trifle with Euro
pean powers in the matter of finances.
/. The French foreign office last even
ing announced that the sultan had
signed an trade for the execution of
his engagements with the French gov
eminent, and that the Franco Turkish
dispute is now at an end
Tewfik Pasha, Ottoman minister of
foreign affairs, wrote a letter to M.
Baptiste, counsellor Of the French en-
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 from Constanti-
nople on Franday, with the additional
clause by which the sultan pledges to
establish in full rights the commercial,
trading, religious and educational en-
terprises which France may desire to
carry out, if the porte is advised Of
her intentions and makes no objection

M. Baptiste's dispatch, telegraphed
him to inform Tewfik Pasha that Dip
Icmatic relations had been re-estab-
lished and that M. Baptiste should con-
slider himself in full charge of the
French embassy.
Instructions were also sent to the
French admiral at Mitylene to re-em-
bark the marines and to return to
Greek waters, which is understood to
mean the vicinity of the Island of
SYRIA. Admiral Caillard will remain
in the Levant some time longer. M.
Constans, the French ambassador,
will return to Constantinople very
shortly.
The additional clause was acceded at
the request of France in order to pre-
vent future difficulties, such as the
Turkish provincial authorities have Of
ten raised on their own initiative, or
in consequence of instigation by the
porte.
The Temps describes the result as a
brilliant victory for French diplom-
acy."
