at Beyrouth, on the part of some fanatics, who,
thanks to the energy of the governor, had been
punished in an exemplary manner.
The Constitutionnel says :—" We have already
stated that several solutions of the difference with
Turkey had been proposed to Russia. Without
entcring into a u: eless detail to show in what these
propositions differ one from the other, we may
state that they are summed up in these two points:
guarantee by the Porte to Russia for the privileges
of the Greeks ; guarantee by Russia to Turkey and
to Europe for the integrity of the Ottoman Em-
pire. At present it is from St. Petersburgh that
the reply is to come, since these propositions have
been made in accord with the Porte."

The Cologne Gazette, under date of Vienna, 15th,
says :—" A circular dispatch has been received
here, addressed by the Ottoman Porte to its am-
bassadors, on the occupation of the Danubian prin-
cipalities by the Russian troops. It results from
it that the Ottoman Porte will not yield to the pre-
tensions of Russia. Yesterday a battalion of in-
fantry and a train of pontoons left for Peterwardein;
another battalion will leave this afternoon, and the
remainder will follow in a few days. The Chamber
of Commerce has been requested by the Minister
of War to point out to him persons who would un-
dertake the supply of lint for the army. The
Duke of Genoa, who is now in Saxony, is expected
here in a few days with the Archduchess Sophia."
The Weser Gazette of Berlin, of the 15th, says :
—" We learn from a source worthy of credit that
the Turco-Russia difference may be considered as
terminated ; the Ottoman Porte being ready to
sign the ultimatum of Russia, and the cabinet of
St. Petersburgh having declared that no prejudice
to the sovereignty of the Sultan shall arise there-
from."
The Wanderer of Vienna states, that on the 10th
the head quarters of the Russian army were at
Bucharest, and the troops, about 80,000 in number,
were encamped around the town. It adds, that
though the heat was excessive, there was little
sickness amongst the soldiers, and that the supplies
of provisions were assured.
A letter from Constantinople states that the Earl
of Carlisle, a few days after his arrival at Constan-
tinople, left that city for Broussa.
A supplement of the Journal de Smyrne of the
7th contains an interesting account of the circum-
stances which followed the arrest of the Hungarian
refugee, M. Costa. In another article the same
journal announces that his Highness Ali Pacha
has been summoned to Constantinople, and is to
be replaced by another Pacha as Governor of
Smyrna. It expresses deep regret at this decision,
and says the same regret is felt by all the respect-
able inhabitants of Smyrna, whether Mussulman
or Christian. As a proof of this it publishes
an address to Ali Pacha, which was in the
course of signature, and had already received
the names of more than one hundred of the
chiefs of the best commercial houses. The
address, in fact, is of a nature to console the ex-
Governor for the course imposed upon the Sultan
by the Austrian Internuncio—more honourable
testimony was never offered to a retiring function-
ary. It recalls the circumstances under which Ali
Pacha came to Smyrna as Governor, and speaks in
the warmest terms of his energy in the then diffi-
cult attempt to restore order, of his justice, his
equity, and his moderation. After declaring that
the entire city manifests the regret evinced by the
parties signing the address, at the removal of their
Governor, the Pacha is assured that he will always
be cherished for his fine qualities and his virtues,
and is requested to accept the assurance of the
gratitude of the people of Smyrna for his eminent
and valuable services.

The Semaphore of Marseilles of the 16th says :
" The general subject of conversation here yester-
day was a private despatch received by electric
telegraph from Genoa by one of our first commercial
houses announcing that the King of Naples had
just prohibited the exportation of corn from his
States. This news is said to have been brought to
Genoa by a packet which had arrived direct from
Naples. We wait with importance for the arrival
of a packet in our port to give us details on a mea-
sure the gravity of which cannot be misunderstood.
This news has produced considerable sensation
in
the corn trade, and led to numerous operations in
the article."
A letter from Ferrara, in the Corriere Mercan-
tile of Genoa, states that on the 2d the police en-
tered the palace of Count Pindemonte Bonacossa,
at Ferrara, and in the absence of the owner (the
family being at La Boschetta, a villa of theirs on
on the Venetian territory), effected a diligent
search, breaking open every drawer in the house,
but without any result. On the following day a
new search was effected at La Boschetta, with no
better success. Nevertheless Count Bonacossa was
arrested and taken to Ferrara, where his own
palace was assigned to him as a prison up.til
further orders.
The Giornale di Roma gives an account of a
strange mistake committed by the French troops
there on the Bth inst., when Monsignor George
Talbot de Malahide, one of the chamberlains of the
Pope, and another distinguished ecclesiastic, were
arrested under the following circumstances :—lt
appears that the French commandant has issued
strict orders to arrest any suspicious persons skulk-
ing about in the vicinity of the French barracks,
or asking strange questions about the interior of
them. Now it so happened on the above-men-
tioned day that the reverend prelate and his com-
panion were in search of a house which might be
well adapted for the purpose of an hospital or
almshouse, with the intention of renting it in
the name of an institution of the kind. Happen-
ing in their peregrinations to pass close by the
Collegio Piceno, now used as barracks for the
French troops, Monsignor Talbot asked some
soldiers how many men they had there, and
whether they occupied the whole of it. This ques-
tion excited suspicion, and being reported to the
superior officer, he ordered the two venerable eccle-
siastics to be arrested, which was done in spite of
their remonstrances and explanations, and they
were marched off to the central military command
on the Piazza San Marcello, followed by an im-
mense crowd. Having arrived there, they were
immediately identified and set at liberty. General
Montreal and the ambassador of the French both
waited upon his Holiness, to testify their regret
at this mistake, and their explanations and excuses
were most graciously received.
