It is mentioned in the Allgemeine Zeitung, on the credit

of letters from Constantinople, that the English Government is about to send a vessel to survey the coast of the Black Sea ; but it is added, that the Sultan's permission to any vessel sent for such a purpose will probably be withheld. Through the activity of Mr. URQUHART, an arrangement has been made for a British courier to go twice a month to &mho, to receive letters from another British courier, who will bring them from Constantinople; so that there will be two communications monthly between Lon- don and Constantinople, in addition to those by the Austrian mail.
