LEVANT NEWS.

The Constantißople news in the Smyrna Journal,, under
date of the 7ilvierui"t,, affords us the following extracts :
" The Poratrately r.,:.vived from Van, in Turki,ll Armenia,
on account °ahenosnenon, whick,_ in spite of the apparent,
anthenticity;We cannot believe. This despatch states that,
after a portion of the province had been afflicted with a long
dearth, the miracle performed in favour of Moses and the
children of Israel, when traversing the desert, was repeated.
A prodigious quantity of a substance resembling manna, fell in
drops the size of hailstones, which, though somewhat insipid,
was not disagreeable to the palate. It is said to have lain on
the ground to the depth of two inches, and sufficed to feed the
inhabitants for several LLys. The flour into which it was
pounded was extremely, white, and it made nutritious but taste-
less bread. Specimens of this bread have arrived, it is said, at
Constantinople, and will be subjected to chemical analysis."
The following from the Malta Times seems to be connected
with this subject:— _ _

(Translaied from the Arabic.)
A Lr.ero, MAY 3, 1841.—A great famine has happened in
Aleppo, Malitia, and Karbat, in so much that the people died
with hunger, and sold their sons and daughters to get bread
to eat. But the Almighty God rained upon them seed and
fed them withal.
In Candia the armed insurgents are said to amount to fifteen
thousand. A general engagement is reported to have taken
place, wherein the Sultan's forces are said to have lost one
thousand men, besides five hundred prisoners ; whilst the in-
surgents' loss, in killed, wounded, and prisoners, did not exceed
live hundred. Men, arm', and ammunition are daily dropping
in from Greece, and it is generally supposed that the Sultan,
without foreign aid, cannot subdue the rebels."
The Smyrna Journal has a letter from Salonica of the 4th
inst., which says:—
" The redoubtable chief of the bandits of Mount Athos, the
Caloyer Hilarion, was arrested about a fortnight ago, with
eighty of his followers, in the village of Maderno Khori, near
Stares. This important capture is due to the judgment and
zeal of Omer Pacha, Muschir of Roumelia, and Youssouf Bey,
Mouhassil of Salonica. The Muschir gained a clue to their
retreat, through the ritten summons they sent to the authori-
ties of the province for a cession of part of the territory of
Chalcis. Omer Pacha made secret arrangements with the
hisfunctionaries of the p
band,

assengers by the Great Liverpool, who are eestinei for India,
to reach Suez and embark, should there be room.
The Endymion frigate, Captain the Hon. F. W. Grey,
which left the Cape of Good Hope in April, was ordered to
proceed to Aden, and should Sir William Parker find her
there, he will probably hoist his flag, and proceed in her to
Bombay, where the Melville is expected from China.
The next mail from India was intended to be despatched
from Bombay on the 22d ult. Last year -one was despatched
on the 23d of that month, and arrived at Suez on the 16th of
Jane. There is therefore reason to suppose that the coming
mail will arrive here as early as that of the last month, namely,
on the 26th inst., perhaps a day earlier, but the monsoon may
have set in stronger this year.
