The Earl of Id ALIIESBURY said that the statement
which they had just heard could not have come from say
err mon properly than from the noble lord who had just
sat down--(hear, hear)—and who had spent • life time in
his souniry's service In Turkey, principally in
abating that spirit of fanaticism of which they
now sew the fruits. On the Sunday before last
he bad received the telegram which their lordships bad
already seen, and be did not loss an hour in sending off
another telegram to Sir H. Salem, instructing him that if
the seams described had really taken placte,_be was to allow
Mao trifling whatever on the part of the Turkish "norm
swat, but was to insist on immediate redress, sad on rebibn-
Um, if necessary, forth/ murders which had been committed.
Mr. Omens, our consul at Alexandria, wrote a full aerostat
of what bad taken pace, founded upon information whiled be
bed received from Captain Sulks, of the Cyclops ; and in a
few words the cironvostanoselwere these. It appeared that
then had been a dispute between the Turkish authorities and
the captain of the Cyclops with respect to en Indian ship,
belonging to English subjects, who had wished to change
their nationality and to sesame the Ottoman religion.
This was contrary to law, for they could not with-
draw their allegiance, and thus obtain the protection
of the Ottoman law. The matter in dispute came before a
tribunal by which it was decided that the ship was English
sad not Turkish, bat in the course of a few days the Eme-
lt& lag was lowered sad the Ottoman flag hoisted. Nothing
terther for two days, when, without the least sus-

the bat lamination of the mamacre. It appealed that the
"overarm of the town had only eight soldiers with him.
As far am Captain Sullen could learn four or fin of these
soldiers bad endeavoured to protect the Christians, end the

consul and four or five others. After hearing this

kind had irked how the government had acted after they
bred these horrid circumstance*, and how their representa-
tions had ben met by the Porte. He was glad to say
that It scarcely required any urgency on the part of Sir
Bony Snorer to induce the Ports to take up in the spirit of
Wiesenm the cue of the sufferers ; and, without troubling
their lordships with the details of the communications which
pored, be want soy that a Pacha bad been sent to Jeddah

of Nib end death, and could execute omits! punishment

would not otherwise by law have pommel. His impression
thenkee wee that it would not be required on their part
to use any force to induce the Turkish government to enact
retribution for this horrible massacre. The Tartish govern-
ment bad proceeded most energetically up to this moment,
la fir E. Below was satisfied that the Turkish govern-
ment would awry out their profeseicas. The government
led as new ID believe that any eetraordinan fanaticism
had ben shoos is any other part of the Turkish empire.

that they were not to take soy measure on which there wee
likely to be any serious discussion. If soy bill should be
brought forward on Wednesday on which a discussion arose
at any important stage, such as the second reading, theatre
odertanding was that it should only be taken pro forma.
Under these circumstances be hoped that there would be no
