     A French correspondent informs u. 
     
     that .there are, at the present moment two 
     
     bad signs of the times in oonnectionlwith 
     
     the affairs of Turkey-—the arrival in Puts 
     
     of a number of Greek crosses (decom- 
     
     tions), and a number of Turkish shawls. 
     
     “I hope,” says he, “that the latter are 
     
     only intended, according to Oriental cus. 
     
     tom, to hide from the world the charm, 
     
     of the fair sex. The present is the criti- 
     
     cal moment for the future of Turke 
     
     which all Europe has an interest in keep- 
     
     mg independent; that independence and 
     
     power ‘to resist the enemy, depends on 
     
     domestic reforms; those reforms, again, 
     
     rest on the united action of France and 
     
     England in supporting the Sultan. The 
     
     allied troops have left the domestic or. 
     
     fairs of Turkey in the hands ofaloyal 
     
     Sovereign. There is much to accomplish 
     
     —inany difficulties, the niot grave, viz. 
     
     religious prejudices, to overcome. Bui 
     
     there is material for the most happy re- 
     
     sults,if the Ambassadors of France and 
     
    
   
   
    
     Council of Manufactures, the oflicisls of 
     
     the Custom-house, take a part in the cere- 
     
     mony. The bosrd of Mines, the Chamber 
     
     of F inance, the Commissariat, the Univer- 
     
     sity, the Post-oflice, the Department of 
     
     Theatres, with a number of other bodies 
     
     equally share in the great solemnity. Hence 
     
     the all-absorbing character of the ceremo- 
     
     nial—and hence the niightiness of the pre- 
     
     parations which have been made for its 
     
     celebration. 
     
    

    
     In the other Kingdoms and States of Eu-

     repose in which it has lately been the sin- 
     
     bition of her King to steep hour. by_ "10 
     
     announcement, that the might and majesty 
     
     of her maritime flag, even when floating 
     
     from the mast—head of a ship of war, coin- 
     
     manded by one of her Princes of the blood 
     
     royal, has been impudently set at naught. 
     
     and subjected to a downright defeat by a 
     
     saucy band of Moorish pirates. All the 
     
     press of Prussia has been busy for the_last 
     
     three weeks in repeating the tale of Prince 
     
     Adalbert’s mishap wit the Rid‘ pirates, 
     
     and terrible have been the denunciations 
     
     launched against the audacious rovers. 
     
     The King of Prussia has made up his mind 
     
     to avenge the outrage committed on his 
     
     flag,and to sweep the robbers and assassins 
     
     from the face ofthe earth; to which end he 
     
     has, what? Fitted out a couple of frigates 
     
     and half-a-dozen gun-boats, and despatched 
     
     them to the Mediterranean, with orders to 
     
     settle all accounts between him and the 
     
     impertinent gentlemen of thc Riff coast? 
     
     No such thing. The King of Prussia does 
     
     not avenge himself in that common-place 
     
     manner. He does not undertake the task 
     
     himself, but petitions others to undertake 
     
     it for him! Instead of instantly fitting out 
     
     such a naval expedition as would suffice for 
     
     the punishment of the piratical horde, by 
     
     whom his flag had been insulted, he goes 
     
     a-begging to England, to France, and, as 
     
     it is said, even to Russia, and petitions 
     
    
   
   
    
     EUROPE AT BET. 
     
    

    
     There seems at the resent Inornent to 
     
     belittle in the record 0 passing events in 
     
     any of the nations of Europe to challenge 
     
     particular attention or call for special com- 
     
     ment. For the time being, the surface of 
     
     society exhibits everywhere an appearance it 
     
     of perfect tranquillity. The inhabitants of 
     
     this broad quarter of the globe, busily en- 
     
     gaged in the genial labors of the harvest, 
     
     seem to have consented, whilst the sun still 
     
     shines, to merge all other considerations in 
     
     the one great aim of gathering in and secu- 
     
     ring the bountiful fruits of the earth which 
     
     a benelicent Providence has afforded them; 
     
     and thus we find, that whilst this labor is in 
     
     progress ,the linm of discontent, even in 
     
     taly and Spain, is hushed, and conflict be- 
     
     tween liberty and oppression for the time 
     
    

    
     suspended. . 
     
     How long this peacful state of things may 
     
     continue is more than any human being can 
     
     venture to foretell; but it can hardly be ex- 
     
     pected,that the bitter feelings lately aroused 
     
     in the bosoins ofthe oppressed people of the 
     
     Italian peninsula will not again break forth 
     
     with renewed acrimony against the tyranny 
     
     of Naples, of Rome, and of Austria, and 
     
     that too at no distant day. \’Vhenever this 
     
     occurs,the danger of a collision between the 
     
     principal Powers ofEui-ope will again pre- 
     
     sent itself, and all our songs of peace may 
     
     once more be suddenly changed into the 
     
    
   
   
    
     TURKISH REFORMS. 
     
    
   
   
    
     (From the News of the World.) 
     
    

    
     The last intelligence which reaches us 
     
     fro Costantinople is not altogether satis- 
     
     fac ory. There can be no doubt what- 
     
     ever, that the Sultan and his Ministers 
     
     are sincerely bent on improving the con- 
     
     dition of the country by the prompt 
     
     application of the new law; the Haiti 
     
     I-Ionyayuioum has already been promul- 
     
     gated wherever it was prudent and possi- 
     
     to do so; and several Greek churches 
     
     are already in the course of construction. 
     
     But the great difficulty displays itself in 
     
     persuading the old Turkish party to ac- 
     
    
   
   
    
     deadly blast of war. _ 
     
    
   
   
    
     them to “ whip” the pirates for him. Can 
     
     the dignity of a Monarch, assuming to 
     
    
   
   
    
     cept with sincerity the new order of 
     
    
   
   
    
     England work together for the welfare 
     
     of Turkey, and the common interests of 
     
    
   
   
    
     For the moment, however, everything 
     
     over the whole face of Europe wears the 
     
     air of complete tranquillity. In Englan 
     
     and France, rulers, statesmen, heroes, le- 
     
     gislators, and politicians of all ranks and 
     
     creeds apear to be solely bent upon the one 
     
     endeavor of discovering how the time may 
     
     be passed in the utmost repose and ease. 
     
    
   
   
    
     things. 
     
    

    
     It appears that the executive in Turkey 
     
     consists generally and chiefly of a class 
     
     of gendarrnes, principally Albanians and 
     
     Rediflls, who, during the war, and in the 
     
     absence of the regular army, were charged 
     
     with the guardianship of domestic affairs, 
     
     and particularly to put down brigandage. 
     
     Now, it so happens, that this force has no 
     
     more interest in entirely extirpating the 
     
     brigands, than the professed rat-catcher 
     
     would have in efliecting the complete an- 
     
     nihilation of vermin. No rats—no rat- 
     
     catcher; no brigands—no Turkish force 
     
     to put them down. Robbery is said to 
     
     be certainly on the increase throughout 
     
     the Ottoman Empire, and it is plain that 
     
     there will be no remedy for this unless 
     
     the regular army is employed to enforce 
     
     law and clear the country of the lawless. 
     
    

    
     It has been proved in Greece, that the 
     
     regular army is useless for this purpose, 
     
     and the same may be said of Turkey. 
     
     There can be no doubt that the majority 
     
     of the Turkish Ministry, with the Sultan, 
     
     are sincere in their endeavors to apply 
     
     reforms ; but they are grievously obstruct- 
     
     ed in the execution of tip good work by 
     
     prejudices and personal interests of cer- 
     
     tain personages not far removed from the 
     
     Sultan himself, who persist in clinging to 
     
     the old state of things with the most ob- 
     
     stinatc tenacity. It is to be regretted, 
     
     that this party has latterly received a sort 
     
     of covert support from some of the mem- 
     
     bers of the French Embassy. As the 
     
     object of England and France is to im- 
     
     prove the internal condition and elevate 
     
     the external rank of Turkey, by placing 
     
     in the administration of her afliairs, men 
     
     superior to corruption, and sincerely de; 
     
     sirous of applying wholesome and neces- 
     
     sary reforms—nothing can be more inju- 
     
     rious or more fatal to the end in view 
     
     than that a contrary policy should find 
     
     the slightest countenance in any official 
     
     quarter to which the direct influence of 
     
     France or England may extend. The 
     
     good effects of the war depend on the 
     
     ability of the Western Potvers to renovate 
     
     the Turkish Empire—to make it national 
     
     and thoroughly well governed within it-

     Turkish reformation, which the Western 
     
     Powers have so ckep an interest in seeing 
     
     accomplished. 
     
    
   
   
    
     An extraordinary statement appears in 
     
     the Gala ne Gazette, which, indeed, might 
     
     be treate with indifference were it not that 
     
     the Paris_journals honor it with a place in 
     
     their co|uipns—and it is this, that the Czar 
     
     has_ promised to support King Bombs in his 
     
     resistance to the rcmonstrances I the 
     
     Western Powers, supported, as the llttep 
     
     are, in appearance at least, by Austria, 
     
     There may be something in this" statement, 
     
     monstroualy improbable as it looks. It may 
     
     be the case, that the King of Naples jg 
     
     besotted enough to throw himself on the 
     
     Czar for support, and that his agents are 
     
     giving out the story, which has found its 
     
     way to the banks of the Rhine.« That King 
     
     Bomba is as silly as he is tyrannical cannot 
     
     be doubted, because folly is stamped on 
     
     every act of his imbecile and reckless go- 
     
     vernment. There is nothing, therefore, 
     
     which exceeds the bounds of credibility in 
     
     the assertion that he calculates on the sup- 
     
     port of Russia. He is, no doubt, ofl'cnded 
     
     with Austria for having pronounced in fa. 
     
     vor ofthe requisition of the VVestern Pow- 
     
     i.-rs: and as he knows that Austria is not in 
     
     good odour with the Czar, he thinks it easy 
     
     to win the latter's favor and assistance, As 
     
     showing Bomba’s folly and stupid persist- 
     
     ency in his perniciotis course of conduct, 
     
     the rumour of a Russian alliance with 
     
     Naples is not unworthy of-attention; but as 
     
     regards Russia herself, it is hardly possible 
     
     to give a shadow of credence to such a.1 
     
     iriiputation on her confessedly astute under- 
     
     standing of political means for practical 
     
     ends and objects. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A few days, ago placards were affixed to 
     
     the mansions of the Greppi, Traversa, 
     
     and Poldi, in this city, on which were con- 
     
     spicuous and legible the mottos, “Long 
     
     live King Victor Emmanuel!” and “ Lon 
     
     live Cavour!_” Next morning, there was a 
     
     great commotion among the olice at the 
     
     sight of these placards, and t ey ordered 
     
    
   
   
    
     It is very earnestly to be hoped, that
