It was recently ancorated by the Levant Herald that four e-Ministers who lately held high poellions in the Turkish Gurernment had. been exiled, and were to be confined in a for- STORE. The aume paper now atates that, al- though this was nominally the sentence passed. apon them, their punishment really amounts to little more than removal from the capital. ON Two are merely sent to Oyprus, where they "will be free to live in all the comfort which the ample wealth of both can afford." The others have been sent to tasir native places in Auix. Such deportation, the Levant Herald remarks, differs widely from that experienced by French political prisoners, although in the present instance administrativa aufteraction was the offeros laid to the abarge of the Minis-

tera.
