THE CIRCASSIAN IMMIGRATION.
CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 4.

The Circassian refugees continue in a deplorable
condition along the seaboard. The number of them
that have swarmed into Trebizonde has seriously
augmented; and the zeal and fidelity of the re•
sources of Dr. Barozzi, who has been there for some
time past on behalf of the Board of Health, are
taxed beyond endurance. There are as many as
60,000 destitute Circassians at the present moment
in Trebizonde, and this mass of wretchedness is
continually increasing. At Samsoun there are now
about 10,000 of them seeking shelter and food, and
the town feels the burden heavily.
The Ottoman Government appear to be taking
every possible means to encounter and mitigate
the evil. The late manager of this special matter
of the Circassian immigration, Yaver .Effendi, has
been susperseded, and a special commission has been
appointed to organise Circassian colonisation in the
Turkish provinces. This commission, under the
Presidency of Teyfik Bey, formerly mustechar of
police, took its departure for Trobizonde on Monday
last in the Eseri-Djedid. Two of the members of
the Commission are military Pashas, who are in•
strneted to select 2,000 picked men from amongst
these immigrants, and convert them into a special
Circassian Legion for the Turkish service. Within
the last few days the Admiralty has despatched to
Trebizonde a number of large sailing boats and
several steamers, in order to withdraw the refugees
from the various points which they now overcrowd,
and transport them to more eligible places. A
number of them will, it is said, be sent to Cyprus;
several other places are also mentioned, and even
so far away as Tripoli in Barbary.
Broken remnant of a gallaut people, whose long
and heroic struggle against the cohorts of Russia,
has earned for them an imperishable name—no one
can contemplate their present position without
keen sympathy and sorrow, and every commenda-
tion is due to the Turkish Government for the zeal-
ous and opportune manner in which they are
stretching out to them a saving hand in their deep
misery.

F RANCE.

Arrival of Lord Brougham in Paris,

Lord Brougham has arrived in Paris from Cannea
on his way to England, and appears, we rejoice to
say, in excellent health. His mind preserves its
full activity, and his Lordship has been devoting a
portion of his leisure in the South to preparing an
introduction to a collection of the speeches of the
great Lord Plunket, now about to be published by
David Plunket, Eq., his grandson, a rising bar-
rister at the Irish bar. A critical examination by
his Lordship of such a career as that of Lord Piun,
ket, celebrated alike as a legal advocate six d a par-
liamentary orator, cannot fail to prove of the highest
interest. It is worthy of remark that Lord Erskine
in 1816 acted in a similar manner with respect to a
collection of Fox's speeches. He wrote for the
work an introductory notice of remarkable ability,
which will always be esteemed for its eloquence of
language and justice of appreciation.

THE CHANNEL SQUADRON.

PLYMOUTH, May 13.

Five of the ships belonging to the 6hannel
squadron, which left the downs at 7on Thursday
;looming, arrived in Plymouth Sound at 5 o'clock
this afternoon. The Edgar, 71, Captain G. T. P.
Hornby, flag of Rear-Admiral Dacres, C. 8., took
her station westward of the centre of the Admiralty
anchorage, and there exchanged salutes with the
Royal Adelaide, 26, flag of Port Admiral Sir C. H.
Fremantle, K,C.B , the second in command ; the
Black Prince, 41, Captain F. B. Wainwright,
passed the flag, and anchored well to the eastward.
She was followed by the Warrior, 40, Captain the
Hoa. A. Cochrane ; Defence, 16, Captain Augustus
Phillimore ; and the Prince Consort, 35, Captain
George 0. Willes, C.B. The ammunition and shell
were discharged immediately from the iron ships
Warrior and Defence, and they will probably be
docked to-morrow (Saturday) the Warrior in No.
1 Dock at Keyham, and the Defence at Devonport.
The Black Prince will be placed in the Prince's
Dock at Devonport, in which she was repaired last
October, and the Prince Consort will be placed in
No. 2 Dock at Keyham, from which the Ocean, 35
(although in an incomplete state), will be removed
for this purpose. The officers of the squadron do
not expect to stay longer than eight or ten days at
Plymouth. The screw steam frigate Galatea, 26,
Captai❑ Roehford Maguire, left Plymouth yester-
day (Friday) for Portland.

RUMOURED INTENTION OF THE POPE TO CON.
STITUTE EDINBURGH AN ARCHBISHOPRIC.—We
have heard it rumoured that the Pope does not intend to
act upon the apostolation by the clergy of the eastern dis-
trict of Scotland, consequent on the death of Bishop Gillis ;
lint that, passing over the names sent up to him, he intends
to appoint the Right Rev. Monsignors Talbot (brother, we
believe, of Lord Talbot de Malahide) in the room of Bishop
Gillis, and to constitute Edinburgh a primacy for Scotland
by making him Archbishop of Edinburgh. There is some
talk, too, of the time having come for the re-establishment
of a Scottish hierarchy, and so securing the clergy of their
benefices, by taking from the Romish Church in Scotland
its missionary character. If ever the Holy See does take
such a step, we may be sure that a bishop will be appointed
in Dundee, another in Aberdeen, and very likely a third in
Invernese.— D tin* 4LcirertiBer.
