If, under such a statement as this, addresses to the
King to dismiss so prefligate a set of Ministers do
not flow in from every Body possessed of the power
of addressing the Crown—if the tables of both

CASSEL, JUNE 25.—An event equally matnelmly
and extraordinary took place lately at Wallem, three
lea;,,taes from hence. A Protestant minister shot him-
self through the head in the pulpit, at the moment
when he was about to c ,mnienee his sermon. This
unfortunate man had for same time involved himself
in an excess of mysticism, which probably deranged
his mind.

A Consul at Salonlipic has written to a corres-
pondent at Smyrna the following letter:—" On the
20th of April Abdaul l'acha has demanded the sub..
mission of Nausta, a village which contains upwards
of 200 houses, and situate nine leagues from Salo-
nique. It is one of the most consierable of Mount
Olympus, where an the inhabitants are insurgents.
The Pacha sent three Gresl ministers of religion
to the enemy, who formed a small corps round
Nausta. The moment the Priests mentioned sub-
mission to the Turks, they were shot dead by their
countrymen. The I'acha then attacked the villages
of Olympus, and defeated the insurgents, who, in
their flight killed all all their wives and children,
rather than suffer them to fall into the hands of the
Turks. One hundred villages upon Mount Olym-
pus have been reduced to ashes.
