General Santa Cruz, the Bolivian Mivister in Paris, is engaged in negotiating a treaty of commerce between France and the Bolivian republics. Everything is quiet at Rome. Interesting from Turkey. Our advices from Cometantinople are of the 25th of November. According to the correspondent of the London Times, of that date :— It is the — opinion here (Constantinople) well-informe: tee for the invasion of bd na ings lead one to this conol received from bis government by M. de Titoff for de- manding the expulsion of the Polish vague and so open to different int was as difficult for the Russian envoy them clearly to the Porte as it was for the Porte to give @ precise auswer This inctness was evidently intentional the part of the Czar, and its ebject was ef course rstood f by his representative at Constan- tipople. The Porte could not understand, nor would M. de Titoff explain to them, whether the Em Nicholas demanded the expulsion of ail Polish refugees resident in Turkey since 1830, or whether he asked for the ex- — of those who sought an asylum here after the te insurrection in Hungary. ¢ Turkish ern- ment admit that the treaty of Kutchuk Kalmardji a Russia s right to demand the expulsion of the t pamed , and to that demand they are therefore willing to consent; but the Porte refases to expel those Poles who took up their residence in Tur- key previous to the late Hungarian insurrection. The Turkish Ministers, in thelr note to M.Titoff, said thet from the vagueness of the Emperor's demand, it was impossible to understand ite precise meaning, but that Seg as eran an answer to what they supposed might be {te purport. M. de Titoff affected to be equally per- plexed with the Turkish gover: nt, and said he had no other alternative than to transmit their reply to St. Petersburgh, and wait for further instructions. Diplo- matic relations of courre continue suspended bet Turkey and the allied Imperial powers. No com: ie cation can be received from Russia in answer to~th note of the Porte till the middie of next month.
