THE EASTERN QUESTION.

It is reported in Paris that the French Govern-
ment has received communications from St.
Petersburg expressing the desire of Russia to act
in accordance with France and England in the
East. The Russian Cabinet reiterates its opinion
that the events now preparing in the East may
hold in suspense the peace of the world, and that
the very existence of Turkey is at stake.
The Pays seems to imply that far more dread-
ful massacres are in contemplation, and that the
exciters of these disturbances in Syria have rami-
fications with other parts of the Ottoman terri-
tory. The events in Syria are only the prelude
to a formidable rising in arms of the Ottoman
populations against the Christians. These sinis-
ter projects are stated to have been long since
concocted by fanatical conspirators.
The Paris correspondent of the Herald says,
that the 4,000 men collected at Toulon have not
'embarked, as the dispatch of a larger force has
been decided on. All the Paris journals speak of
the necessity of intervention. It appears that
the French fleet before Beyrout will soon be
composed of ten vessels. Orders has been given
that, in case of need, the marines are to be landed
to defend the Consuls and Christians. A number
of steamers are to cruise along the coast of Syria
to render assistance where necessary.
