According to official adviees from Constantinople, Redschid Pasha, the Grand

Vizier, has appointed Aali Pasha Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Rime Pasha Minister of War.

The Monitory publishes a letter from Teheran, dated October 22. The writer says thdt he is unable to send "positive intelligence re- specting the fate of Herat." The besiegers had not been able "to ob- tain the surrender of the city in an amicable manner." On one side it was said that both parties were suffering from a scarcity of provisions; on the other, Bokhara merchants, who had left Herat a month previously,

" declared that when they passed through that city the siege was scarcely felt, as it consisted merely of a blockade before the principal gates. Provisions, and even caravans, entered freely by the other inlets of the place."
