Paella has taken the army of occupation in Syria, in
marches, to quell the disturbance. In the Ottoman Illinsk."er
he is said to be reinstated in his old Pachalic of Diarbeitt.
The Porte desires to hush the matter quietly. The Russians
have perhaps as little to do with this all& as with the troubles
in Montenegro and the Morea.
Postscript.—This moment we receive other letters of the
7th. The long expected communications from London had
arrived on the 51.11 instant, and with them the preliminary
protocol respecting the question of the Dardanelles. The
same couriers brought Baron Sturmer and Lord Ponsonby
new inAructions, which threw the latter, it is said, into
a sick bed, so that the general notification in favour of Me-
hemet Ali, recommended to be made by the Ambassadors in
common, would not as 3et take place. Conciliatory steps were,
however, expected from the Porte, and the more so that since
the last change of Ministers, every one in the divan and se-
raglio is more favourably disposed towards the Pacha of Egypt.
On the other hand, the dismissal of Redschid Paella has so
frightened the greater number of the Franks in the service of
the Porte, that they are thinking of resigning. Javer Paella
( Walker) has already sent in his resignation.
A letter from the Crimea, dated 3d April, says that no vio-
lent. outbreak has taken place, but the ferment in the minds of
the inhabitants continues, and the commencement of serious
troubles is cons'antly apprehended.
A Correspondent at Semlin writes to the Augsburg Ga-
zette, on the P2tli inst.—" Baron de Lieven left Belgrade
the day before yesterhy. The day before Prince Michael
had addressed a proclamation to his subjects on the
political occurrences of the last few years, and parti-
cularly an amnesty granted by him to several voluntary
exiles of distinction. The most important passages of
this document are—' Agreeably to an understanding with
the Ottoman Porte, I have taken the necessary mea-
sures for rest°, ing to their country a certain number of
Servians who have gone into voluntary exile in consequence of
the events of latter years. They shall henceforth enjoy the
protection of the laws ; and such of them as before their exile
held public functions may apply to me for their reinstatement.
Let the past be buried in oblivion. But whoever in future
shall be deiecti d in secret intrigues or machinations against the
State shall be punished with all the rigour of the law:"

A CorresponAdent of the Constitutionnel at Corfu writes on
the Ist instant, that the session of the lonian Parliament, uhich
had been (Tenet' on the Bth ult., had been closed by the dis-
solution of the Legislative Assembly, as soon as the civil, crimi-
nal, commercial codes, and the code of the proceedings had
been passed. 'The island of Cephalonia had sent a petition,
signed by 4,000 persons, to the British Government, Liking for
liberty of the press, extended suffrage, annual Parliaments,
and the public discussion of the budget. Sir Howard Douglas
is to leave in May.

A memorial to his Highness Mehemet Ali
Paella of Egypt, is in progress of signature by the leading
bankers and merchants in London connected with the China,
Indian, and Egyptian trade, thanking him for his general kind-
ness and support of our countrymen, and for his great libera-
lity in giving full effect to the overland communication with
India, while his possessions were threatened with bombard-
ment: We are glad to tee so many of the first commercial
firms in the city sensible of the Pacha's magnanimity and en-
lightenment during a most trying period.
The General Steam Navigation Company's
vessel the Co:umbine, W. Norwood, from Rotterdam, arrived
off the Custom_ (louse at 9 o'clock a.m. this day with the Dutch
mail, after a favourable passage of twenty-four hours.
