INSURRECTIGN AT TRIPOLI.

THE Arabs of the pashalic olTripoli have revolted. A body
of Turkish troops sent against them were driven back into
the city, with a loss of 1,700 to '4,000. The Arabs were known
to have been suffering totally fnm failure of the crops, added
to which, they were commandd to pay extra taxes to the
Turkish Government. Gourma a chief, raised an insurrec-
tion. The Turkish army sent Rainst him was engaged in a
battle, which it was said lasted tvo days. The extermination
of the Turkish army, which hs almost all fallen into the
hands of the Arabs, is the result of the action. Gourma is
now at the head of fifteen thousand determined men, and
fourteen pieces of cannon taken 'rom the Turks, and intends
laying siege to the city, which iswithout means of defence.
TRIPOLI, July 15.—The wreckof the Turkish army which
has submitted to the rebels arrived this day. The Turks are
