BRUSSELS, APRIL 6.—A letter from Sittard, of the 4th,
says, "M. Alberts, of Stittard, ha; in the last two years
printed several works, more or less directed against the
Prussian Government. These works were smuggled into
Prussia, and sold, notwithstanding all endeavours to prevent
if. A Prussian subject had for some time been employed in
M. Albert's office, he had lately absconded taking with him
a great part of the correspondence, MMS, &c., ryhieh may
seriously implicate their authors and other Prussian subjects."
BERLIN, MARCH 28.—We have received news from Con-
stantinople that the Sultan has sent two of the Prussian
officers to the army in Curdistan ; some to Koneah.
MUNICH, MARCH 31.—We learn from good authority that
the Empress of Russia eard the Grand Duchesses Mary and
Olga, will arrive in thy; course of June at the Weldbad Kreath,
near Tegernsee. Tune news was received yesterday, and or-
ders have been se.'nt to Kreath to prepare for their reception.
CoNsras meoet.F., MARCH 7.—The Persian ambassador has
had frequent conference with the Minister for Foreign Affairs
since his audience of the Sultan, to whom he presented an ex
tremely friendly letter from the Schah. It is supposed that
these eaanferences relate to the conduct to be observed by both
Sovereigns with respect to Mehemet Ali, whose warlike atti-
Wel.° threatens the safety of Persia as wellas that of Turkey. The
reemamente in this port have been for some days past l rosecuted
-with greater activity than hitherto. It seems the latest ac-
counts of the critical state of Syria have had some influence,
and it is more than probable that the Porte thinks to take ad-
vantage of the successes of the insurgents, and, if an oecas'on
presents itself, act on the offensive against Mehemet Ali.
ALEXANDRIA, FEB. 26.—The forced levy of 24,000 men,
which Ibrahim intended to make in Syria, has occasioned dis-
turbances. Part of the Druses have risen, as well as the whole
population of the mountains bordering on Caramaria. It was
believed that the inhabitants were wholly disarmed and inca-
pable of any resistance, but suddenly they appear better armed
than ever. A battalion of troops sent against them in January
was totally defeated by the insurgents near Messes. Fresh
troops have since been sent to the mountains, but the very
severe winter, such as there has not been from time
immemorial (the mercury often 1.5 degrees below zero), has
stopped operations for the present. Ibrahim is ill at Aleppo,
but has declared that as soon as he recovers he will put an
end to these insurrections once for all. Nobody who knows
his charoeter doubts what means he will employ ; for he never
stops 'at half measures. Ahmed Pacha, one of the bravest
officers of the army, and Minister of War, who was
sent in great haste from Cairo to take the command
tharing Ibrahirn's illness, has been wounded, and forced
to go back. These of of Syria make a great noise
ie. Egypt ; they talk of 20,000 or 30,000 men being killed
or deserted, make the Sultan invade Syria with 80,000
men, and carry all before him, and even march against Egypt,
and other similar fables created by the futile imagination
of the Jews of Leghorn. This insurrection will end as the
far more important one of 1834, did.
Such partial insurrections only serve to increase the oppres-
sion, and are sometimes purposely excited in order to create
an opportunity to levy contributions, or when labourers are
wanted for the fortifications or other works. An attack is
made on a district that has risen, and plenty of men are pro-
cured. That has hitherto been the result of all insurrections
since the occupation of Syria.
