This piece of news about Suleiman, which may be unimpor-
tant or may be all-important, comes both from Vienna and Con- stantinople. It is affirmed, apparently with full authority, that Suleiman Pasha, whose absence from the front on a "tour of in- spection" at Varna, had been severely commented on, has unex- pectedly arrived at Constantinople with 10,000 of his best troops, whom he says he shall employ as the core of a new Army. He had received no orders, but immediately obtained an audience of the Sultan, and remains for the time in Constantinople. The movement may be an accident, but it is certain that Suleiman Pasha is supported by exceedingly powerful interests at the Porte, and more than a month ago we read a statement that, if Plevna fell, Suleiman would at once take his men to Constantinople, and establish a new Goternment. He may, of course, have been summoned to protect the Sultan, but he has always been supposed to be with the extreme fanatical party, and to desire war to the bitter end.
