in foreign countries of real property situated in Russia, under
pain of a fine of 3 per cent. on the sum insured. The same

TURKEY.—ER7.EROUX, Atm. 14.—We have re-
ceived news from Teheran up to the Lt of August. The
corps of Serbasen, 15,000 strong, which it had been proposed
to increase to the number of 40,000 men, now occupying the
town and its vicinity, have rebelled, on account of their pay
being in urea?. They have already created disturbances,
and the first minister, Hadschi Mena Afghani, has been
compelled to resort to the greatest humiliations in order to
re-establish order : the affair was not settled when the
courier departed. It is beyond a doubt that the Hadschi,
who is point of fact directs the government, has very war-
like views ; however' it is not yet ascertained whether his
projects lie to the east or to the west. He has had some
hundred cannons melted, and ordered several hundred thou-
sands of gone, principally in England. This number,
though great, seems to be exact. But then orders will not
be executed with iut trouble, as money is wanting ; the dis-
order of the finauces is beyond belief.—Gazette d' Awesome g

BOSTON, AvG. 30.—" The Hon. Mr. Laseelles,"
writes a correspondent of the above date, " is at the Ocean-
house at Newport, very dangerously ill of typhua fever. He
is receiving every attention. Dr. Wanes, of Boston, has
gone down by railroad to consult. I left there last evening,
tI and before starting saw his physician Dr. King he was in
a drowsy state, and the chances were against him; but the
. announcement of his death in the Herald and Tribune is
premature."
