ALEXANDRIA, JUNE 10.

A vessel that arrived yesterday evening from St.
Jean d'Acre announces, that at the time of her de-
parture the Christians of Lebanon and Anti-Leha-
non were in a state of insurrection, declaring they
would pay no more obedience to a government
guilty of the murder of their Patriarch. The Pacha
of Syria had endeavoured, without effect, to bring
the revolters back to their allegiance ; several of
the detachments sent
.aguinst them had been de-
feated and dispersed. It is said that some Chris-
tians had been massacred at Damascus and Aleppo,
where persecution had commenced against them in
an alarming degree.

Mehemet' Aly, Pacha of Egypt, far from par-
taking in the sentiments of the Ottoman Porte,
has opened an asylum for the Christians who may
take refuge in Egypt, where they are received and
treated according to their industry. Accordingly,
he has assigned lands over to many of the inhabit-
ants of Cyprus and Rhodes who have escaped the
daggers of the Mahometans. Ile receives seamen
with particular regard, takes them into pay, and
allows them provisions and quarters. In fact, we
may conclude, from all that has passed, that Me-
hemed Alv, threatened by the Porte with bring
treated hie his friend, the Pacha of Janina, is far
from being displeased at the embarrassment of the
Grand Seignio►. It will probably be the same with
the Regencies iq Barbary, who are tint ignorant
of the Sultan's ititesitions to set limits to their au-
thority.
