ANGLO-TURKISH RELATIONS.

Losdox, January 2. It has been ascertained that the conduct of the Turkish Ministry in regard to the representations of the British Government arose through jealoraly of Sir Henry Layard's influence witii the Sultan. The Ministry persisted in evading the demands of the British Ambassador, and the latter was compelled to take a decided stand. The Home Government has expressed regret at the incident, but supports Sir Henry Layard, to whom it has given carte blanche to deal with the Porte according to his judgment. The Liberal party at home generally approve of the action of the Government in the matter. It is expected that a compromise wiH'be effected, and that England will not have to proceed to hostilities. The German: and Austrian Ambassadors have both intervened, and recommended the Porte to arrange the matter.
