An unintelligible story comes from Constantinople. It is stated that
four desperadoes contrived on the 5th inst. to enter the palace in which ex-Sultan Murad is confined, with the view -of carrying him off. They had a steamer in the Bosphorus, and are supposed to have been Greeks, who wished to use the insane Princess an instrument. The story is wildly improbable, but it his been repeated from so many sources that we must believe -that some plot of some kind was detected, and found so dangerous that a false account of it was given to the world. So much has been of late accomplished by violence in Constantinople, that very desperate plans may be considered feasible by the desperadoes with whom the city swarms, but the motive in this case is not traceable. An insane Sultan already deposed would be useless as a hostage, and there is no evidence that Murad has recovered his faculties.
