After a council held yesterday al he af tho MI,fti cpvaral TN,rfara were despatched to the fortresses on the Danube, the nature of whose commission is unknown. The young Turks of all ranks are exercised after the European tactics. Since the departure of the Ambassadors, the enthu siasm in favor of the Sultan has risen to the greatest height. frman has been issued ordering that the Christians wherever resid ,a ing, and of whatever description, should be allowed to enjoy their religious worship 6without moestaton.
