ATTACK UPON A PREECE! TRAVELLER IN A
MOSQUE AT DAMASCUS.

The Preass If Orient hen the following letter from
Damascus, dated Oet 2:
Our city was bet month the scene of a very deplorable
event
"A French traveller, Id Inquiet. Eusize, who served
fee two years as a doctor is the Turkish army uprn the
Danube and is the Crimea, and aft.-rwards as whits:it-
lorzeon in the French luny nista the period of the evacua-
tion, hu been the vitt en of a most unfortunate seratilt. He
is a very inoffensive man, in a rate of heaith which aloe.
ought to have protected him. To. Occasion was the
Tint of the doctor to ti.e mosque, formerly the church
of It. John. Some people acute Id. Juggler of
imprudence; the notions of the people io matters of reli
gious belief are not so nde ,nee 1 here as at Coastansinople,
and if the mosque of St. S. phis can be visited without
peril, it is otherwise with that of Damascus. If the doctor
had consulted others, they would certainly have dissuaded
him from his project, and narrated the tact that last year
when the Duke of Brabant visited the mosque, the governor
took the wise precaution of potting the troops under areas.
This was comically dons, as a mark t f honour t. the
Belgian prince, bet in reality to prevent any
accident. Even the: step, however, did not pre-
vent some Imago from eonsideriag the temple as pro-
faned, and from abusing the mate and carpets. Them
sentiments are certainly to ha r.gr.tred, but it will be some
time yet before they disarpeer. Dr. 'winless Hula was
desirous to visit the mosque. He did so is the dress of a
medical man, and wore the tee, and on entering observed
the usual formalities. Two doorkeepers asked him if he
was • moseultaso ; he replied that he was a doctor, and
that he had for two years taken care of the sick and
wounded of the Ottoman army. They allowed him to eater,
and he visited the mosque without farther interruption
from the °facials. - Bet while leaving the edifice tome
doses children, minted by fanatics, threw stones at hiss.
lie was then surrounded, nod after receiving the grossest
insults, was struck by gets, stooge, and sticks, seta he fell is
the midst of the madmen covered with blood. Happily
ether isbabitants ran to all for assistance, and the infer-
lomat* doctor was rescued.
When M. (horsy, the Frisch consul, beard of this
event be west instantly to llshesosel Pecks to amend the
puaishment of the guilty. The Puha bed already re.
.rived a report of the idol', and bed commenced an M.
quizy ; he 'spewed the greatest perrible indignetkm, sad
mid that the aesellaate should be severely punished. All
the keepers of the mosque who were suspected were
sneered, and M the desire of Malummed Peale
and the judge appointed to unpin fate the of
the doctor, notwithstaading his mad., assisted
then is the ievestigation, mai several individuals meg-
aimed by him were arrested."
In a note appended to the above eesoust the Prom

forms es of the arrival ha that city of Dr. Easier, who Is at
present at the Freed% Hospital in a feeble audition."
