THE IKASBACRES IN SYRIA.

(nor OCR OWN

BETROUT, JOLT 99.
Lit...! the rest of the Syro•Knropean community,
I wai M hopes Olt this mail would take hone
better news than we have been able to transmit
for some weeks ; but it is not so. The Moslem
fan tics of Damascus ere resuming their arms, the
accursed rev of "Deco, .leen"*ia again heard in the
street• of that town, and, as the mob declares that
but half its work is over every one fears that a
second outbreak will take place. Of Christian pro-
perty in Damascus there is none left to plunder,
air are there any Christian houses left to burn
Jowl: ; but of the unfortunate Christian inhabitants
sow twenty thotisatal remain alive, and these the
NO.7.!ems say must he sacrificed by the sword. It
svittlil also seem as if the new Governor and the
sew commander-in-chief 44 the troops have inhe-
rited the imbecility of their predecessors, for as yet
they hare done nothing to restore order in the
tow-.

TLC arrival of Fund Pacha in Beyrout was re-
seeded in my last. I have now to mention the
advent of what is worth for the cause of order all
tha pachas and all the Turkish troops ever sent to
Sy.la, namely, the English fleet under Admiral
Martin, eunsistiug of the Marlborough, 131, flag-
ship • the Victor Emmanuel, 94 ; the Neptune,
Of • ihe Liffey, 50, mad the ships which hare been
hero for some weeks ; the Exmouth, 90 ; and Mo-
hawk, 6. These, with the French ships Donau-
worth and Redoutable, under Admiral Jehenne,
Salo a pretty 'deem feet, which awes the popula-
ben of Moelons here into something like order.
Admiral Martin seems to be a host in himself.
Tit? day after ,iin arrival he bad en interview with
kieha, directly after which the whole clique
of fanatical Turkish 'acid, who have schemed and
scrotal this tognntic work of blood in Syria, were
• dimmis,ol or pat under arrest. Kurchid
Pacha was sent off in disguise to Constantinople,
ant Mustapha Pacha, the Turkish admiral here,
put far the rnoineut in hen place as civil governor
• Beyrout. Auuther scoundrel, by name Achmet
IFendi 3lio!ein of Salon, head of the revenue
depsvtment, whim plotting with the Druses, and
Vh use fanatical zeal against the Christian popula-
ti.m is proverbial) was placed under close arrest, as
wit also the Kjkia, or deputy governor of the
pl toe, and the 3lntselinit of Deir-el-Kaniar, who
allowed, nay helped, the Drumm to murder in
sold blood the popidation of that place. The
military officers who were present in Deir-el-Kamar
are elan mole: dose arrt All this I have reason
to know foe certain %%A+ only done by Fuad Pacha
wlien Admiral Martin Minded upon it. The
3floslam population of tt,e place are very sulky at
wt. dhoti happeatel, au,l were it not for the fleet now
here would I, fear try their hand at an emeete. To
do Feed Paella jwitiec, he had, previous to the
arrival of Admiral Martin, sent Achmet Pacha, the
Governor of Domino's, to Constantinople, under
arrest and in disgrae.. But the question in, will
tints., men be puniilied at the capital 1 For a
pocha to be in d*rnee at Stamboul means that he
livie in his house on the Boephorus, tusking his
" Kief ": for a tow years, and then gets a higher
aid more lucrative post than that which he forfeited
by Isis misdeeds. Witness Narvik Puha of Jeddah.
Be wan iu disgrace for about eighteen months, but
the other day—since these troubles began—be was
positively named—he, the greatest fanatic iu the
empire—to be Commander-in-Chief in Syria, and
Govornor of Damascus. It was only atthe earnest
representation of Sir Henry Bulwer sod M. Lava-
lettc that the nomination was changed, and then
Narvik Dacha was appointed—he is to-day—
President of the Council of War. Now, in the
matter of the two miscreants, Kurebid Pacha,
late Governor of Beyrout, and Achmet Pacha,
late Governor of Damascus, if there is any meaning
whatever in the English language, these men—
sworn foes to each other, but brothers in the faith
of the Prophet—these men are guilty, directly
guiltirogf the blood of thousands, and of the misery
ant eery of hundreds of thousands. If there is
law or justice in the empire, these men should pay
with their lives the wrong they have done God
and man in this land. Let the official reports
awl the public opinion here be judges, whether
anything short of capital punishment can—
I will not say atone for—nothing can atone
for the past two months—but be deemed suffi-
cient punishment for these two traitors. I for one,
however, have nut the slightest hope that either the
ono or the other will he executed. Kurchid Pacha
• not only a very wealthy man but is a personal
friend of the Sultan ; and, I;elset report tells
great untruths, Acbmet Pasha got enough out
of the plunder of Damascus to pay for justice
in Constantinople for a very long lifetime. Mar-
vellous to say, Fuel Paella allowed the scoundrel
to depart without and examination of his luggage,
which was said to contain plunder to a very large
amount in the shape of jewels. No, good minister
and energetic man as he is for an Osmanli, depend
tipm it that, bad it not been for the arrival of
Admiral Martin, Fund Pacha's punishments would,
so far as Beyrout is concerned, have been a mere
farce.

His Escelleney Fwet Pacha took his departure
U. day before yesterday for Damascus, where be is
to arrive to-morrow morning. If he does his duty
to his imperial master. and has any wish to set
Turkey right with Christian Europe, he will find
his hands pretty full during his sojourn in that
city But the question is, dare he do his duty—
dsue be punish those who are guilty of the blood of
th,usands, as he would the wretched murderer who
takes one man's life for the sake of his money
We shall see. I hope yes ; but I fear no.
