THE CIRCASSIAN EMIGRATION AND
RUSSIAN BARBARITY.

The Levant Herald, of the 21st, publishes •
correspondence from Kustenjie, from which it
appears that the Turkish authorities had requested
the Russians to prevent any further emigration of
the Circassians till next spring. Whether from a
misunderstanding or otherwise, it now appears that
140,000 of these unfortunates have reached the
shores of the Black Sea in a state of utter
destitution. It is further said that the Rus-
sians have ordered them to continue their journey,
declaring that if they remain on the shore,
they will be left without any assistance what-
ever. These poor wretches have no alterna-
tive but that of perishing of hunger on the shore, or
undertaking a voyage on the Black Sea in the depth
of winter, even if the state of the weather enables
the vessels to take them on board at all.

A letter from Trebizond says :—" We have now
here some 1,300 Circassian immigrants, and small
though the number appears, the mortality amongst
them amounts to about 90 per week. The famous
Michael Bey (Prince Michael of Abasia) is treating
with the Porte the terms of his emigration to
Turkey, accompanied by 30,000 to 40,000 followers.
God grant that this mass may steer clear of Trebi-
zond, which suffered so signally by the Circassian
immigration during the present year."

THE ENCYCLICAL LETTER.
PARIS, Drc. 30.

The Constitationnd of to-day, in an article
signed by M. Paulin Limayrac, says :—" The re-
suit of the encyclical letter is to control the con-
' sciences of catholics, to rejoice the enemies of the
'church, and thus increase the difficulties of the
wissiou which France has undertaken, and which
she pursues iu the interest of the Holy See."
