TURKTSEI  CABINET,  WARLIKE PREPARATIONS BY SERVIA.  On Wednesday, the accession to the throne of His Imperial 11,f+jesty Mourad V. was proclaimed, "By the grace of God and the will of the people," amid the most perfeet tranquility. The population has greeted this fortunate event with unanimous and enthusiastic good wishes. All are anxious to display their spiv Lthy and devotion towards the new monarch by public demonstrations. The joy and sa,isfaction of the people are bArig manifested by illuminations boll in the capital ah,l in the provinces. On Thursday, the Grand Vizier sent a telegram to the Turkish representatives abroad, announcing that a programme of reforms will be drawn up immediately....  The following are authentic details of the deposition of the Sultan Abdul Aziz. The measure was effected because the Sultan would not mbdify his conduct, which placed the country in jeopardy, and it was decided upon by the Grand Vizier, the Sheikul-Islam, Whs., Paoha, and Elimpain Aeoui pactia. At midnight the Imperial Pa!ace was surrounded by troode, end Huss-do Avoni Pacha proceeded thither, taking Monied Lffendi with him to .the Seraskerat, where Mourad was received by the ministers and by deputations from the Softas and Ulemas. He was received with acclamations by those assembled, and was proclaimed Sultan. Thereupon General Redif Pacha went to the Sultan Abdul Az z, and announced to him that he had been deposed, and that Monrad Effendi had given orders to conduct him to the pavilion at the end of tne seraglio. Abdul Aziz was in great wrath when the news was communicated to him, but seeing that the palece wit surrounded, and that resistance was useless, he allowed himself to be conducted with his Bons to toe Ilio-ve selected for him. The next morning Mourad Eff ndi took up his residence at the lmperi ,1 Palace, where he received numerous congratulations.  The ex-Sultan, Ab Aziz, committed suicide on Sunday by opening a vein in his arm with a pair of scissors.  It is not known whether Russia will recognise Sultan Muted, but it is believed that it will do so if the new Government gives sufficient guarantees of its stability. 'I he elle :ed massacre of Christians at Lebanon is not confiimed.  The Porte ilrawingup a vary liberal Constitution, which 1k ill be promulgated at an early d,ite. The comma-der-in-chief of the army in Bulgaria has returned to Oonstahtinople. The Russian, An-trian, and French Governments are stated to have instructed their representatives at Belgrade to counsel moderation to the bervian Government.  It is not bt-lieved that the insurgonts will diminish their pretensions to autonomy, but their prevails a hope that the Powers will not supoort them any longer, us reforms will now be carried ont on the lareest basis, and uhristians will now enjoy the same rights as Mussulmans,  13Esmit, Jane 5. There are symptoms of a possible change in the relative position of the Powers. Reciprocating the cold language of the Russian press, journals in eonnexion with the Austrian Government suddenly oppose the policy of Prince Gortschakoff, and congratulate Turkey on recent events at Coustantinopk. To judge from what is said sod printed by adherents of the Austrian Governm nt, Count Andras, earnestly contemplates the possibility of abandoning Russia and adopting the En4lish view of Eastern iff .irs. France and Italy have given instructioi a to their arabaisadors at Ginstautinople which indicate a certain inclination to turn over a new leaf aid revert to the policy of 1854. The dual Oet!rminajon of these Powers will depend upon the results of diplomatic correspondence. The German Government give no outward warning of their intentions', unlesS, the repeated declaration by Ministerial papers that th4i country is not immediately interested in pending affairs be taken as such. Of Russia the Slavonians seem to expect ,hat she will speak when her army is on the Pruth. the fact of the Serviana not resenting a violation of their frontier by the Turkish troops when they are undoubtedly ready for war is thought to indicate a determination to wait for lin,sia to begin'. Already the Mir, the organ of the St. Petersburg slarophils, regarding war ae imminent, discusses th, localities in which the Austrian troops will probably be concentrated to ward off the Russian attack. The fact of such an article bi ing publish d in St. Petersburg with impunity is serious matter for reflection.  The Bulgiriiin rebels have sent special messengers to the H-rz siavioa insurgent camp at Banyani. M. Weseelitzki, the lit Itu,sian and subsequent insurgent agent in Herzegovina, has also gone to Banyani to be present at the meeting. Austria and Germany will not hesitate to recognise the new Sultan, even if Russia refuses to do so. In Vienna the triple alliance is looked upon as weakened, and both the German and the Austrian press side with England as against Russia, except, of course, the official and semi-official organs. Germany's engagements to Russia are believed to be very serious, and the Berlin Bourse takes a pessimist view of the siiu .tion. Sultan Marad's Government at once sent emissaries to the Mahomedan states in Central Asia to notify the change of rulers, and exci,e them against Russia. It is thought here that France aim solely at securing a Ripisian (alliance in the European complieations which are expectod to ensue, and that she is net so eager to accept the ;olio). of Great Britain !as is believed in our Foreign Office, and as advanced in the columns of the French press. ROME, Monday night. La Rome Va'icali organ, and the Bereagliere, report tha; 20,000 men were in 'readiness to embark from Odessa when counter orders ramefrom Constantinople in consequence of Abdul Aziz's suicide. There is alrea ty a division in Cue Turkish Cabinet. The Grand Vizier and Hass, in Avni are opposed to Midhat Pacha's scheme of reform. The Sultan leans towards Hussein Avni, who declares that the troops are with him. I know, however, that many officers are with Midhat Pacha. rue national party intend to press for a constitution, and if Hussein Avni does not yeild we may have come bloo 'shed in two or three weeks. The ambit on of Hussein Avni is danceroua, and may bring us into trouble shortly, but the national party will and ought -zo prevail.
