Intelligence has been received here, that Mr. Adair, the British Minister at the Sublime Porte, has intimated to the Reis Effendi several demands in the name of this Court, which occasioned an extraordinary sitting of the divan, at which the Grand Signior himself presided. The nature of these demands is not known, but they are said to be accompanied with threats, which have produced a very strong sensation, and are stated to be derogatory to the honour of the Porte. It is not easy to form an opinion on the measures which the Turkish Government will adopt on this occasion, but it is generally supposed, that the Divan will be compelled to declare either for or against England.
