TUB DISTURBANCES AT BALLARAT.

By the letters and papers brought by the Over-

(Yr. m the Singapore Straits Tints, Jan. 16.)
After the above was set up iu typa, we received, via
B.taail, Melbourne, and Adelaide pipers to the beginning
of nit:ember. Tee Melbourne lournels mention that the
disturlssnees at Ballarat diggings had asaumed the form of
a rebellion. The diggers had armed themselves and
fought w;th the mops; the latter consisting of detachments
of the 40th and 12• h Regiments. Several of the soldiers
were shot, and many of the diggers were slain. Mr. Com-
miisionst Reed was a prisoner in this bands of the diggers.
Monster meetings had been held at Melbourne and at the
diggings, at which the liberty of all digger prisoners was
demanded, es also the di:miseal of Mr. Foster, the Colonial

Secretary.

DEATH OF THE CZAR.

Yesterday the Foreign-offlos received telegraphic
intelligence that the Emperor of Rtunia was dead.

Tits first information was forwarded in the follow-
ing terms by her Majesty's minister at the Hague :
"The Emperor Nicholas died this morning at one
o'clock of pulmonic apoplexy after an attack of in-
fluenza."

Lord Clarendon also received from her Majesty'.
minister at Berlin a despatch stating that the
Emperor of Russia died about twelve o'clock yester-
day. About an hour before this despatch arrived he
received accounts from Lord John Run% at Berlin.
stating that the Emperor was at the point of death
and had already taken leave of his family.

The Dasly NesoB, in the course of this day, has
received several telegraphic messages relating to the
event. The accounts are somewhat at variance as to
the immediate cause of the death. One despatch says
" paralysis of the lungs "—another" inflammation of
the lungs." The Paris Morsiteur of this day, in con-
firming the intelligence, uses the former term (pare-
lysie de pournon).

NEWS FROM ABROAD

THE RUSSIAN DEFEAT AT
KARS.

011011 OVI OW,

HAMBURG, 0ar.16.

A private despatch has been received here from an
authentic source which gives some details of the Bas-
si= dishat before Hers on Mamba's-day, the sub-
stance of which I communicated by the telegraph. The
battle lasted for more than eight hours, and was carried
on with the greatest desperation on both sides; the
Russians appearing determined to take the place,
and the Turks manfully resolved to keep poems-
sion of it. At one time the Russians succeeded in
taking

_ two batteries; but before they had time to
lan round the guns, or even to spike them,
the Turks rushed upon them with such vigour,
as net only to regain possession of the bat-
fade% but this movement being effected suddenly,
dislied the fortune of the day. Being repulsed
with much fury, the Raglans were quits taken by
surprise, and fell back upon their comrades, wits
were thrown into confusion. The Turks them
rushed out of the fortress, and measured sa
enormous number of the enemy, before they
had time to form their ranks and recover from their
surprise. The despatch (which is from a Raman
source) adds that although a great number of killed
and wounded were tarried off the field of battle dur-
ing the action, more than 4,000 were left dead under
the walls of the fortress. A couple of hundred Russians
were made prisoners, and some pieces of ordnance fell
into the hands of the Turks. In consequence of
this disaster, adds the despatch, the Russians de-
termined to raise the siege, and when the courier
left they were making preparation. to carry this re-
solution into effect.

TURKEY.

CONSTANTINOPLB, Die. 21.
The Sultan's brother-in-law, the ex-Grand Vizier
Mehemet Ali Pasha, has been condemned by_ a Mar-
belts of the grknd council to restore to the Treasury
76,000 piaarree—,‘ bribe which, it appears, had been
accepted during ti_Ne interminable judicial Inquiry
set on foot respeetit'R, the affairs of Djezaerin, the
Armenian banker. 14 ithout at all attempting to
comment on the nettle 's of this sentence, I shill
merely remark that it auk
proves that there is a firm determination on the part
of the government to
carry , Nut rigorously the enact-
ments of the Tanzimat, and
y, 'lt an end for evermore
to venality and peculation.
This, yen are aware, has been the fatal source of
incalculable evils and disasters . `rein the earliest
times, the real obstiele to progress, and to all that
is great, noble, and patriotic In the general ad-
minuitration of this empire. As regards the
special instance under consideration,aln unable
to say whether or no the proceedings hays beencm"
ducted with the same scrupulous attention, and whe-
ther the evidence was such as is required in British
court of law. Jealousy and animosities am‘ og the
great functionaries are well known to exist to ,a
fearful extent in this country, and all I can say 1. la
extenuation of this particular act of the condemnet.
" let him who is innocent throw the first stone."
_

Mehemet Ali Pacha is now " fallen from his
high estate," perhaps ruined irrevocably, and there
is very little chance of his being entrusted again with
any of those important posts which he had occupied
with zeal and ability at various intervals. One tact,
however, I am bound to mention as highly creditable
to him, and which will prove some consolation in
his retirement—that he has ever been a friend to the
British and British alliance, a deadly enemy to Rus-
sia, and that he was a principal instrument in urging
the Sultan to a declaration of war. He was invariably
on the very best terms with our ex-charge d'affaires,
General Rose, and quite of his opinion at
the very outset of this question, in respect
to the vital importance of bringing up our
fleet from Malta almost immediately on the arrival
of Prince Mentchikoff at Constantinople. General
Rose, you are aware, is attached to the staff of
General Canrobert, and as he had been one of the
most popular of her Majesty's representatives at
Constantinople, we have all learned with the
highest satisfaction from French officers that
there is not a braver soldier in the whole
army. He looks, it is said, with the same
coolness and complacency out of the embrasures, as
he used to surrey from the British palace windows
the mean gambols of his Arab stud—his splendid
children of the desert. General Rose is a great
horse fancier, and thus, although he has miraculously
escaped with but a slight scratch in the late battles,
we may consider him to have been wounded in a vital
pare, for two of his beautiful chargers were killed
under him, and a third severely wounded by a am-,
ket ball.
London, England, 1855-01-09

PRUSSIA.

The Zeit. of Berlin—the especial organ of the
Minister Mantenffel —notices and confirms the state-
ment that Austria has demanded the mobilisation of
the military forces wherewith by the convention of
April 20,1854, Prussia and the Germanic confedera-
tion engaged to aid her in a certain case. The
ministerial paper is careful to add that this case is an
attack on Austria in her own positions. Thus whether
in her own territories or in the Principalities,
4' Austria," says the Zeit., " founds her claim on the
alleged threatening movements of troops in Russian
Poland, and also OR certain dislocations of troops in
Podolia and Volbynia." Having thus stated the
Austrian demand, the ministerial journal proceeds at
great length to dispute its validity, and concludes:
I" The demand of Austria being founded neither in
right nor in fact, it is very reasonable to expect that
it will not be complied with at Berlin."
The Official Prussian Correspondence, in an article
lon the Czar's manifesto, affirms that his Imperial
Majesty's determination there expressed, to maintain
a defensive position, renders the participation of
Germany in the war "a very remote contingency."
The Court writer concludes by saying," But however
that may be, the Imperial manifesto leaves no doubt
as to the Emperor's disposition to hold out the head
Ito Pose, and we can only wish that this desire may
be sciraowledged and appreciated by all parties."
At a levee held on the morning of New Year's
Day, at his palace in Coblenz, the Prince of Prussia
I told the assembled officers that various portions of the
army were already fully prepared for war, and it
might easily happen that very soon the whole of the
army might be called to arms. "Should that be so, he
would repeat to them what he bad said to them last
year: it was for the King to point out to them
towards which side they were to front, and on which
side they were to fight ; it was for the army to think
only how it could best preserve and increase its
glory and honour. To attain this end every nerve

Mary Cowdry, an old woman, well known for years to
the Niendicity Society, was charged with begging.
On Saturday afternoon the prisoner was sun to stagger
about and apparently to fall into a St in St. Janses'e-square,
close to a carriage, in which was the Duchess of Argyll.
tier grace tastantly sent a footman to say that she would
defray the expanse of se:ding the apparently afflicted area.
lure home in a cab. The prisoner was made sensible of
the offer, but she declined it. Her grace them sent again to
say that she would provide medical assistance, bat this also
was refused, and as a constable was just coining not tbt i.:,.
toner contrived to hobble away. Shortly after this the pri-
soner was attacked with a similar fit at the door of the resi-
dence of the Marquis of Bristol. Police constable West,
who knew her to be one of the most inveterate begging itn-
paten in London, took her into custody, and lodged her in
the station house.
Mr. Bingham said the ease was a very bad ono, and he
should send the prisoner for instantly fourteen days to the
House of Correction.

THE GREEK PATRIARCH AND HIS BISHOPS.

We read in the Univers :—" Our last letters from
Constantinople contain some particulars of the conflict
which has been going on between the Greek Patriarch and
!several of his bishops. The Patriarch, sure of the support
of Lord Stratford de Radcliffe, displayed an set of courage
in addressing 13 the two bishop. of Cysies and Nicomedis,
an order to proceed immediately to their respective resi-
dences. These prelates turned a deaf ear to the order, and
one of them, he of Nicomedie, treated it in the most un-
courteous , declariag that he would not lean, and
that he would not deliver up to the Patriarch the part
of the synodal seal which bears his name. This seal
ie divided into four separate parts, one bearing
the name of the Patriarch, and the others those of
the bishops of Hendee, Cysies, and Nicomedia. When it
is wished to use this seal, it Is necessary for the four parts to
be united together, so as to form a whole, representing the
sancti,n of the Holy Greek Synod. The Patriarch, how-
ever, did not give up his point. By the advice of the en-
Pr,nce of :autos he addressed a note to the Porte, in which
he claimed 'he right, which his tredecessors enjoyed, of
sending back to their respective dioceses such members of
the synod as he 'nicht be displeased with, and of replacing
'hem by others. The Patriarch brought forward numerous
privilege, :—Aeathangr los sent them all back in 1828, Con-
'cantina in 1832, Gregory in 1837, Melltius in 1843, ito. The
sacred canoes (which are however forgeries of the clergy of
Constantinople) and the privileges granted by Maboaset Il.to
the Patriarchs of Constantinople ratify this right. The pre-
seat bishops of Cysica and of Nioomedia, as being the most
turbulent, have been sit times sent back to their dioceses.
In 1852, the Salton by an snide seat them off without coa-
eult Patriarch. The latter concludes his not* by
declaring that he will not accept an inquiry, regarding it
as anti-canonical, and before he resigns his patriarchal
dicnit) he must be ordered to do so by the Sultan himself.
' It is from his august mouth that I received my nomina
tion, he adds,' and it is from it alone that I will receive
my dismissal.' Thus stands the affair at present. The
adversaries of the Patriarch have had the imprudence to
loudly pretend that they bad gained over men who bad
access to the most influential penonages. This language,
which has compromised their cans* and the support of
Lord Radcliffe will probably maiatlin the Patriarch for
some time longer in hie post."

DENMARK AND THE UNITED STATES.

(PROW OUR OWN

COPENHAGEN, Ocr. 6.

From the same source which enabled me to com-
municate to you the first authentic intelligence that
the United States had actually given notice to Den-
, mark of the termination of the treaty, lam now
enabled to give you the following particulars of the
present state of the question.
It is perfectly true that Denmark has taken mea-
' sores to endeavour to stave off the blow threatened
by the United States, and I am able to add with
partial success, for the French government is of
opinion that the question of the Sound dues is not
merely a private matter between Denmark and the
United State., but that it assumes a general European
character, and can only be settled by a congress of
all nations. Whether the United State. will take
the same view of the cue, and assist at such a con-
gress, remains to be seen: and it is even possible that
the well intentioned plans of France may shipwreck
on the wilfulness of Brother Jonathan. But u
regards the probability, I have reason to think we
may very shortly expect to see a congress convoked,
if only to effect a provisional arrangement, and to
come to a temporary understanding; and indeed
there is nor much time to lose, as the treaty will
expire in Si; months. In that case the de-
fleitive settlement of the question would be reserved
for the decision of the general congress of nations,
which must necessarily tike place on the conclusion
of peace, when other weighty questions affewing
the interests of commerce will be brought under their
notice. In this general congress Russia will of
course be represented.
Bat in the meantime. Denmark is endeavouring
to make s difference between the states bordering
on the Baltic shores and those not so, and towards
the former has expressed her readiness to negotiate
for accepting a round sum in the west of caset for
giving up her claims to levy the Sound dues, such
sum to be borne jointly and subscribed for in due'
relative proportions by such Baltic states according
to the interest they have in the abolition of the
Sound dues.

prevent the symbol of a grim sosdodorscy is support of

IMPENDING BOMBARDMENT OF ODESSA.

The important news from Odessa, which we were
the first to announce to the English public, has filled
with evident alarm the Russian organ, Le Aord, by
whom it was thus commented upon yesterday
evening :
The English journsla will probably announce tomorrow
the bombardment of Odessa. It is tbooght that there are
at that place imams storm of wheat, and, us the supply of
grain in Ragland and Franca is deficient, it is ao doabt eon-
sidered quite ratioaal to barn what Russia pommies.
Timm are sad espediticias, disasters without glory, whit&
eayseem the hostility of the beluriersues, which humanity
deplane sad 'morality condemn, even supposing Meat to
be attended with some strategic result. It is probable
that we may behold in the Black Sea a new bombardment

of Sweaborg. Even if it shonli have worse flaaneial 00Ine.
quinces than the other for Russia, we may ask ourselves
whether such an expedition will ex►aust the umpire
ea the English journals assert, and whether the
evil which the Allied Beets can inflict on Resale will not be
a terrible blow to the commercial intermits of all countries
which are interes,ed in Odessa. The reply will be, " This
is war ; we will barn everything -.2 the coasts that la not
surrendered " Alas ! all will be bamt, perhaps, but sir
laird, it will not be surrendered.
