TURKEY.

The Courrier de Marseilles publishes a letter
from Bigdad of the 9:11 ultimo, which states that
an insurrection had broken out in that province.
The communications were intercepted, and the mails
could not be forwarded but with an escort of 100
or 200 honemen. The Arabs are masters of the
country from Mossoul to the Persian Gulf. The
Turkish authority no longer exists but in the fortified
towns ; its moral Erne has almost entirely disap-
peared, and it is time for the Government at Con-
stantinople to put an end to this deplorable state of
things.
• The French scientific mission had arrived at
Bagdad ; its labours will occupy in members for
a year unless the state of the country should pre-
tent too many obstacles to the accomplishment of it.
