The following is an extract of letter
which was received yesterday at LlOyd's
from the Turkish capital:


" ConstantinopIe, .4pril 25-


"Since | last addressed you, on the
10th inst we have been exposed to some
risk from the wanton acts of an armed
Turkish popuIace; many persons have
been killed, and much danger was to be
apprehended lest the crews of the ship
ping now in port should, either as a
measure Of retaliation or self-defence,
have returned the fire.


am now happy to add, that in con-
sequence Of Memorial which judged
it advisable to present, his Exceilency,
Lord Strangford, made such representa-
tions to the Porte, that for the last two
days these acts of violence have entire
ly ceased; and it is with great pleasure
l have to add that, except some trifing
damage, no injury has been sustained by
our shipping, though several sailors be-
longing to vessels of other nations have
been killed. Tranquility is now so
much restored that we hope tomorrow
to be able to return to our warehouses
