of War relative to the attempts of Lombard and Par.
quin appeared ridiculous on my part, so little import-
ance was attached to their proceedings, and Colonel
Baron de Varennes told me that I paid too much atten-
tion to such folly.
My duty requires me to inspect my troops ; I took
with me the Prefect of the North, and during ourjour-
ney I apprised him of my interview with Mesonan.
The Prefect asked me to allow him to communicate this
fact to the Minister of the Interior, and I consented. In
this manner the Government was informed of what had
taken place,
not by me, but by the Prefect of the North
with my permission. At my return my aide-de-camp
apprised me that Mesonan had called during my absence
to complain that he was watched. I immediately told
my aide-de-camp what had passed between Mesonan
and me, and I forbad him to allow Mesonan to enter
my apartment if he should present himself, and at the
same time I sent for the commander of the Gendarmerie,
and announced to him that Illesonan was an agent of
Prince. Louis, and commanded him to arrest him. I
went to the King's Attorney-General, and I wrote the
same day, the .sth of July, to the Minister of War. I
had only returned home when Mesonan, who had passed
the guard at my house, and unperceived by my aide-dc-
camp, presented himself to me. I walked towards him
and said, " You shall not overturn the Government;
you will lose your head, or rather you have lost it. You
are mad. Make your escape ; the Gendarmerie are
in search of you. I was your friend, but lam now your
enemy, because you wish to overturn the Government
which I have sworn to defend." He departed, and I
never saw him more.

SPAIN.

Some of these statements the prisoner Mesonan, to a
certain extent contradicted.
We shall return to the order of events and place
them as they occurred.

Towards the end of July the conspirators assembled
in London and the neighbourhood. We have endea-
voured in vain to discover who were consulted on the
plan to be pursued. Charles Louis Napoleon, o❑
being interrog,lted, persisted in declaring that he did
not consult any one with respect to his plans. How-
ever, on one occasion he expressed himself thus—" I
ought to add, because I ought not to compromise in-
nocent persona, that Colonel Vaudrey and M. Baechi-
ochi refused to march with m. 2." This assertion he
made, no doubt, through a sentiment of honour and
delicacy, but we have reason to believe that Parquin,
Voisin,. Lombard, de Quer&lcs, Conneau, Persigny,
Bitaille, and Forestier, were amongst those who were
particularly in his confidence.
No doubt the intention had been formed for some
time, because a plan was found amongst Charles Louis
Napoleon's effects, drawn up by himself, of the stages
to be made on their march through the country, and
the regiments and number of men belonging to each.

The place for landing had been chosen, and the order
of service was drawn up in the handwriting of Colonel

Voisin.

Arms were proNidcd. The uniform of the general
officers was prepared in England, and that of the soldiers
i❑ France, except the buttons, which were of English
manufacture, and marked " 40," that of a regiment in
the neighbourhood of the place of landing.
In fine, in the supposition that the conspirators would
have taken possession of Boulogne, everything was ar-
ranged, and a plan of campaign seized in Colonel Voi-
sin's pocket-book.

Men of fortune, of note,. a high responsibility, have been
the most urgent in these demands ; and what must al, ove

vanquished enemies.

"ADDRESS OF THE DUKE DE LA VICTORIA
, TO THE QUEEN REGENT OF SPAIN.
" Madame,—With the frankness and loyalty of a coldicr
who has never failed to be entirely devoted to his Queen
and his country, I have on different occasions manifested
to your Majesty what was expedient for the good of your
Majesty's scrvice and for the national prosperity—com-
bating nobly the enemies of these objects, under whatever
form they have conspired against the established order.
But a cabal (pundilla) whose reprobate designs I bad suc-
ceeded in suppressing by my public representations, and
by force of signal triumphs in the field of battle, constantly
followed up their efforts; employing Machialvelism and
dark intrigue in order to deprive me of the just apprecia.
tion which your Majesty bad conferred upon me, and
thereby succeeding in involving this magnanimous nation
in fresh disasters, in fresh sal guinary struggles, when the
voice of peace had filled the hearts of all good Spaniards
with delight.
" I had occasion, on resigning all my commando on the
15th of July last, to express my belief that your Majesty
had withdrawn your confidence from me; and although the •
President of the Council of Ministers of that period,
taking the name of your 'Majesty, pointed out a fact [that
of the Duke having been appointed Commander-in-Chief
of the Royal Guard A], in order to convince me of the
contrary, I could not remain satisfied, because the reasons
which I gave your Majesty for that resignation acquired a
still greater degree of strength from the circumstance of
their net having been overruled; at the same time that
very Cabinet took upon itself the singular office of notify-
ing to me the non-admission of that resignation, notwith-
standing that I pointed out in that act that your Majesty
had been disposed to replace the said Cabinet by another
more calculated to satisfy the feelings of the people,
thereby averting the evils which were intimated by various
circumstances and expressed opinions.
" I felt bound to make another sacrifice for my Queen
and my country, by resigning myself to continue at the
head of the forces, since it was considered necessary that
I should so, although I then had but a very weak hope
that my gloomy predictions would be averted.
" The most. important places in the monarchy, through
their corporations, and the national militia at various points,
had applied to mc, because they considered that the glo-
rious events by which the throne of your august daughter
had been consolidated might have conferred on me the
faculty of nicking representations for the general good,
which would be favourably received. Their only desire
was that the Constitution of 1837 should not be deteriorated
or infringed upon by a Government from which, seeing the
course it was pursuing, it had reason to:fear everything;
a Government notorious for its scandalous removals of
putdie functionaries—bar the undue dissolution of a Cortes
which had just become constituted—for its interference in
the election of the new deputies—and for the organic laws
submitted for their deliberation.
" To these authentic demonstrations were joined the
knowledge which my position permitted me to possess of
the state of affairs, their relative position, and necessary
consequences ; and being thereby convinced of the impe-
rious necessity for impeding misfortunes, I pointed out to
your Majesty that it was expedient, in virtue of your pre-
rogative, that you should appoint another Cabinet, capa-
ble of saving the vessel of the state—an opinion which your
Majesty adopted under the compromise that I should ac-
cept the Presidency of the Council, which I did not de-
cline, wishing to see public tranquillity secured, and the
unanimous desire satisfied of good Spaniards, of which the
immense majority of the nation is composed.
" My programme having been rejected—no doubt, be-
cause its principal lasses consisted in the dissolution of the
present Cortes, and that the projects of law which had
been presented to them should be annulled by withholding
the Royal sanction—your Majesty knows that, actuated
by the best and most anxious wishes, in the different con-
ferences to which your Majesty was pleased to admit me,
as soon as the war against the armed rebels had been glo-
riously terminated, your Majesty made known to me your
desire that I should come to Barcelona. I particularly
dwell upon the expediency of not sanctioning the munici-
pal law, because, as it was contrary to what in expressly
provided for in the Constitution sworn to, I feared my
prognostics would be realized, should that sanction be given.
" The obstinate determination of your Majesty's
cowardly counsellers, by their imprudent and precipitate
measure cthe Royal sanction of the Municipal law A),
lighted up the torch of discord which placed this indus-
trious capital in combustion ; but they took good care to
save themselves from any danger by abandoning their
posts, in order to go to a foreign country, to shed the
poison of calumny, by giving out that the cause of the
evil was the person who had prevented it, and, who, it
is now made manifest warded off the terrible consequences
which they doubtless provoked, and which were also de-
sired by those vile and spurious Spaniards who, hypo-
critically professing adherence to the fundamental law of
the State, consider it to be a crime to proclaim that prin-
ciple, and who were desirous of the blood of its faithful
supporters, under the pretext of their being anarchists—a
pretext basely concocted in the club to which those un-
worthy Spaniards are affiliated.
" Your Majes'y, in those critical moments, must have
been solely impelled by your natural goodness in favour
of a people worthy, on account of their virtues and their
remarkable sacrifices, of all consideration, and of having
their just demands satisfied. This was believed to be the
case on seeing the Royal decrees, containing the nomina-
tion for new Ministers of persons of well-known Spanish
feelings, attached to
,the Constitution they had sworn to—
to the throne of your August Daughter, and to your Ma-
jesty's Regency; and, with the exception of one, who de-
clined accepting office, the whole made the serious sacri-
fice of accepting it, and proceeded immediately to offer
their noble efforts to the Crown, for whose lustre they
were anxious, as well as for the prosperity of the State.
Their principles were well known, and it was not possible
that against those principles and their own convictions they
could follow the crocked course of their predecessors.
Therefo:c the nation gave itself up to the pleasing con-
fidence that the happy lot for which all sighed was at hand.
" For this reason, Madame, in the public manifestos,
the movement of Barcelona was considered as a means of
salvation, and was reprobated solely by the enemies of your
Majesty and of the Constitution, and by those in whose
breasts the feeling of national independence, which is des-
tined to constitute our felicity, does not exist. The pro-
gramme which the Ministers elect presented to your Ma-
jesty could not be either more just or more moderate, but
the days which passed during its consideration allowed the
selfish and criminal cabal to put fresh springs in motion,
and caused your Majesty to believe that you cught to cap ry
out the system which cast down the former Ministry ; and
no consideration, no reasonings, however eloquently offered,
could produce the adoption of the bases pointed out.
" Resignations consequently took place, and the nation
remained without a constituted government after so pro-
longed a crisis. Other appointments were made, and the
antecedents of some of the parties—all, Madame, was a '
signal of alarm in the capital of the kingdom, an alarm
which has found an echo in Saragossa, and which will very
probably break cut in other provinces.
" I enclose to your Majesty a copy of the communica-
tions addressed to me by Don Joaquim Maria Ferrer, whe
has been nominated President of the Provisional Junta of
government of the province of Madrid ; also of the answer
I have considered it necessary to return. In the pro-
nouncement which
-!has now taken place, but little blood
has been shed. The object of this movement (pronwzcia-
mento), as I am informed, is no other than to support un-
touched the throne of Isabella 11., the Regency of your
Majesty, the Constitution of the State, and the national ,
independence. I believe, Madame, that such are the
principles professed by your Majesty; but in a representa-
tive Government, all the counsellors of the Crown being
responsible for its acts, it is necessary that they should
offer those securities which have been looked forward
to so anxiously ; and it being a fact that those who have
been chosen since the accepted resignation of the Perez
de Castro Cabinet, and who might have satisfied that
anxiety, were obliged to retire because they could not
subscribe to the promulgation of the municipal law,
which is contrary to the Constitution, the motive is clear
which has impelled the lamentable movement that has
placed your Majesty in conflict, and which affects
my heart, although long ago I foresaw it. The Ministers
who arc at your Majesty's side conceive that the means of
repressing this movement arc, to make use of the force of
the army, according to the Royal order communicated to
me under date of the sth inst., and to that effect lam
called upon—l, who have not left untried any means for
avoiding the arrival of the day of such a terrible trial,
which might for ever compromise social order, cause tor-
rents of blood to be shed, dislocate an army which renders
us respectable, and deprive us of the fruits of the signal
glories which have annihilated the hosts with which the
rebel Don Carlos hoped to usurp the throne, and raise up
scaffolds to sacrifice those who defended that throne, and
obtained victory. For this reason, and because your Ma-
testy, in your autograph letter of the same date, which I
have had the honour to receive, intimates that on account
of these events your Majesty has been induced to believe
hat the throne is in danger, I conceive it to be my sacred
duty to tranquillize your Majesty's mind in this respect, by '
making with nobleness, and with all my accustomed honest
feeling, such observations as are suggested to me by my
loyalty and patriotism ; in the hope of so inclining your
Majesty's mind, that, placing faith in my words, you may
accord those means of salvation which it appears to me are
the only ones which ought to be adopted.
" From what has been stated in this representation, it
is evident, without recurring to antecedents, that the
direction of affairs has not borne the stamp of that pru-
dence or of that impartial justice which alone render Go-
vernments strong and respectable. Ever since the dis-
solving of the late Cortes, the decided object has con-
stantly been to discredit the Liberal party, denominated of
Progress, establishing a system of exclusive protection in
favour of the other party, called Moderado, which it is
endeavoured to augment with persons of suspicious pre•
cedents, this fraction making a patrimony for itself of all
the principal employments of the State. Thus, Madame,
there cannot exist either harmony or confidence, nor can
peace be so solidly established as was to be hoped after
the termination of the civil war. Besides this, the Libe-
ral party has been calumniated by the supporters of the
other party, under the pretext that tile former were con-
spiring against the Throne and the Constitution, and that
they arc nothing more than anarchical enemies of social ore
der ; and frequently riots and mutinies have been fomented
to corsoborate this iniquitous report, but which have
dcpro-
duced no effect, because men have, from frequent un
ceptions, penetrated the origin and tendency of those pre-
texts. These abortions have been a necessary conlsoquebninac..,
because the want of motive has rendered genera

tion impossible, inasmuch as they were too little t

On that occasion disobedience was practised with e_ut any
pretext towards the overnment of your
constituted G
Majesty, and at a time when the civil war was at its great-
est height ; whereby the efforts of the defenders of the just
cause might have been inutilized, and the triumph of the
rebel bands might have ensued. I consider the present
pronouncements, as demonstated up to this time, in a

" Oa the other hand, I have not received any account
of those violences and crimes having been committed
which mark the progress of disorder and anarchy. These
considerations, and many others which I omit in order not
to distract too much your Majesty's attention, I imagine
should be weighed, before advancing to an extreme out-
break, in which children against parent, brother against
brother, Spaniards against Spaniards, might be impelled
to renew sanguinary struggles for cne and the same prin-
ciples, after having consented to embrace each other upon
being freed from the common enemy, who sustained the
fierce strife for seven years. And who can say what
would happen even if blind obedience should lead the in-
dividual commanding the troops to so afflicting a combat?
Has what happened to General Latre, when he was pro-
ceeding to Andalusia, been forgotten? Has not the
garrison of Madrid just joined the inhabitants
of that city, abandoning their Captain- General?
And if the same thing should occur with the corps'
which
might be sent thither, what would become of dis-
cipline ? What of the stray ? If I should march to 10a-
drid, I should be uneasy as to what might happen with
regard to the rest of the troops, in the present state of fer-
mentation on the part of the people. If I should smd
thither a General possessing my confidence, his compro-
mise would be terrible, and it is very doubtful whether the
soldiers would fight against compatriots who will present
themselves with open arms, saying, ' the cause for which
I am struggling is the same as that for which you have
shed your blood, and for which you have suffered the un-
exampled toils which render your names glorious.'
" Your Mqjesty says to me that, in order to regain your
confidence more than ever, the pledge will he, that I come
to the decision of defending the throne,
,thus freeing my
country from the evils with which it is threatened.

" M-adame—l have never deserved to have your Majesty's
confidence withdrawn from me. Does my blood shed in
battle, my constant anxiety for, and my whole existence
devoted to, the consolidation of the Throne and to the
happiness of my country; and, in short, the history of my
military life—do these circumstances count for nothing in
your Majesty's opinion ? Is it necessary that I should now
give a proof of my fidelity to what I have sworn to, by
gratifying, perhaps, the base desires of those hen who,
bereft of the titles which I am proud of holding, have in-
duced your Majesty to turn a deaf ear to my warnings, and
to listen to their insidious projects?
" I believe, Madame, that the Throne of my Queen is in
no danger, and I feel persuaded that the misfortunes of
my country may be averted by the appreciation of the
counsels which, in order to avoid those evils, I considered
it to be my duty to offer to your Majesty. Madame, there
may still be time for this. Madame, a frank manifesto
from your Majesty, declaring that the Constitution shall
not be deteriorated, that the present Cortes shall be dis-
solved, and that the laws they voted shall be submitted to
the deliberation of the Legislature to be newly convoked,
will tranquillize the public mind, if at the same time your
Majesty should select six advisers of the Crown of liberal,
pure, just, and wise reputation. In that case, your Ma-
jesty
may be persuaded that all those who have pronounced
themselves as dissidents would quit their hostile attitude,
and would acknowledge with enthusiasm the goodness of
your Majesty, who has always been the mother of Spa-
niards ; there will neither be bloodshed nor misfortunes—
peace will be ensured—the ever-virtuous army will pre-
serve its discipline, and will maintain order and respect for
the laws—it will be a strong shield for the constitutional
throne, and our independence will be respected ; whilst
that period of prosperity will commence which this af-
flicted nation requires. in recompense of its generous sacri-
fices and its heroic efforts.

" But if these means of salvation should not be adopted
without a moment's loss, it will be difficult to calculate
upon the course of events, and as to the point at which
their effects may arrive ; for a revolution, however sacred
may be the object that produces it, may perchance be
drawn into another channel by the perversity of some in-
dividuals who would put the masses of the public in motion
for the purpose of accomplishing criminal and anarchical
projects.
" May your Majesty deign to fix your entire considera-
tion upon what I have said, in order that your decision may
be the most just and felicitous under such difficult circum-
starzces.—Bncelona, ith September, IS-10.

CON STA NTINOPLE, AUG. 27.—8 y the French steamer
of the 24th we have advices from Egypt to the 16th, but
they show no alteration in the resolution of the Pacha.
Confiding in the valour of his Arab army, and in the
strength of the fortifications which defend his capital, he
seems determined to abide by the last alternative; and as
rceotuse to this is, therefore, now inevitable, all hope
may be consiiered at an end of a termination of the affair
without bloodshed. Immediately on the arrival of the
Cyclops steamer with the news of the convention with
the Four Powers, Mehemet Ali, it is stated, had quitted
Alexandria to make a short tour through Lower
Egypt; the object of his absenting himself at such a
moment being partly to avoid conferences with the
European Consuls, but principally to endeavour by his
own presence to reuse the fanaticism of the Bedouin
tribes, and facilitate the raising of his new levies. Ac-
cording to a letter in the Echo de l'Orient, three regi-
ments of the Yemen :army have already arrived at Alex-
andria, and had received orders to march to El Arich, the
first town cn the Syrian coast, probably intended as a corps
de reserve, in the event of the defeat of Ibrahim Pacha.
The remainder of the troops daily expected were to form
a camp at Damanhour, into which also would be thrown a
corps of Bedouins of two thousand strong, under the corn-
mend of Abmet Pacha and Ibrahim Kutchuk Pacha. But
the arm on which Mehemet Ali appears chiefly to rely, is
the fanaticism of the population of the Asiatic provinces,
which his numerous agents are most busy in exciting—
holding them up as the defenders of Islamism, which the
Giaours, they give out, are endeavouring to subvert. The
recent disturbances in Asia Minor, to which I alluded in
a former letter, and numerous outbreaks of a more tri-
vial nature which have occurred subsequently, are known
to have been fomented by the agents of the Pacha ;
and the Porte, in order to counteract this, has deemed it
necessary to publish a manifesto, laying before its sub-
jects a statement of affairs from the commencement of
the quarrel up to the present period, and proving to
them, by the. clearest arguments, that the Pacha himself
is the enemy of their religion, and that the object he is
aiming at is to dethrone the Sultan, and warning them,
under the severest punishment, against receiving and cir-
culating the doctrines he is preaching to them. This do-
cument has been publicly read in the Mosques of the ca-
pital on several days during the last week, and has been
also transmitted, for the same purpose to the Governors of
the provinces of Asia Minor. I doubt of its effect being
such as is desired. Where the sway of the Pacha has
been already felt, the means he has adopted will avail him
little ; but where the tyranny of his Government is yet
unknown, namely, in the provinces which arc still under
the dominion of the Porte, and where general discontent
is known to exist in consequence of the reforms which
have been latterly introduced, an appeal to the fanaticism
of the Mussulman population will, I fear, be listened to but
too eagerly.
The communication to the Porte from the French Am-
bassador, to which I alluded in my last letter, has given rise,
it would appear, to a most serious misunderstanding, and
has formed the subject of discussion during the whole
week before the four Ambassadors and the Reis Effendi.
Delivered by the Dragoman in a harsh tone, perhaps
more so than it was intended it should have been, it had,
it would seem, been misinterpreted by the Pacha into a
declaration of war on the part of France in the event of
the Convention being executed by the Porte, and was
transmitted by him as such to the Ambassadors of the
Powers. Against this construction which had been put
upon his words, M. Pontois thought fit to protest, putting
into writing his former communication, and accompany-
ing it, at the same time by an official note, the language
of which was most violent. To this the Porte returned no
answer, and M. Pontois, in consequence, has become
quite furious, denouncing Reschid Pacha to his colleagues
in office as the most determined enemy to his country and
religion, and he is now endeavouring 13,), every means in his
power to displace both him and Ahmet Pacha. This ab-
surd conduct of the French Ambassador has made him the

with a formidable force, in the event of his venturing on a
forward movement. In addition to the camp which I al-
luded to at Koniall, another is being formed in the neigh-
bourhood of the capital' which will chiefly be composed of
Albanian troops. The troops, it` s here reported, arc to
be placed under the command o General Jochmus, who

The trial of the ex-Vizier, Khosrcff Pacha, on the first
charges which had been bre:tight against him, for defalca-
tions in his public accounts, was brought to a termination
on Sunday, and he is condemned to be exiled for three
years. He is still to be tried on another indictment, and
that of a character far more serious, viz., that of plotting
for the overthrow of the Government,, but it is not known
when the trial will commence.
Admiral Walker sailed on Thursday last with the
Turkish fleet, following in the wake of the transports
which had already taken their departure for the Syrian

His Excellency Shekib Effendi, the I.3e:ye kgi, was, there-

'sent the bu-
ne i n Lon-
despatched es plenipotentiary to refire
blime Porte at the conferences which took k-c
Lon-
don for the purpose in question. The object the the great
Poweis, as well as of the Ottoman Governmeeltr was to
bring. about a satisfactory and suitable arrangement, b"eci
on principles of justice, and conformable in every t
to the honour and dignity of the Porte and the I:lt''.
rests of the Sultan. Every effort to accomplish ti. `lb.
having been fruitless, Mehemet Ali Pacha has conceive i•
the vain idea of acquiring all he aspires to, •
Totally unmindful that he was nothing, and forgetting
under whose auspices he has risen to the power and
fame he enjoys, he has set his mind on dividing the Otto-
man empire with his Sovereign ; and to conceal his ambi-
tious projects, he has recourse to language calculated to
deceive only the unwary. He always commences by say-
ing that the sole motive of his demanding so much for him--
self and his descendants, is, for the preservation of the
Mussulman faith, notwithstanding that it is known to every
one, that the wish of the Sultan is to uphold our holy re-
ligion of which he is the spiritual chief, and that the con-
stant and unceasing efforts of his Highness arc directed to
that end. Let no one be deceived by the stratagems of
the Paella.

" It having been felt that all the zealous labours of the
conferences of London in the settlement of tile Pacha's
pretensions were useless, and that the only public way
was to have recourse to coercive measures to reduce him
to obedience in case be persisted in not listening to,
pacific overtures, the Powers have, together with the,
Ottoman Plenipotentiary, drawn up and signed a treaty,
whereby the Sultan offers the Pacha the hereditary Go-
vernment of Egypt, and of all that part of Syria extending
from the head of the gulf of Suez to the lake of Tiberias,
together with the province of Acre for life; the Pacha on
his part evacuating all the other parts of the Sultan's do-
minions, now occupied by him, and returning the Ottoman
fleet. A certain space of time has been granted h;m to
accede to these terms, and as the proposals of the Sultan
and his allies, the Four Powers, do not admit of any change
or qualification, if the Paella refuse to accede to them, it is
evident that the evil consequences to fall upon him will be
attributable solely to his own fault. His Exceller.cy,
faat Bey', Mustcshar for Foreign Affairs, has been de-
spatched to Alexandria in a Govtrnment steamer, to com-
municate their ultimatum to the Pacha.

.
Now, were it absolutely neecisiry to give to the
Paella, his children, and descendants, he extent of terri-

tory (the origin of the dispute) that he wants, the Otto-
man empire would at once be divided into two parts.
The distinction between suliket and Sovereign would be
merely nominal, and from a rivalship between two equal
powers various evils would arise. It would not only fail
in giving strength to Islamism, but, on the contrary, would
be a means of shaking and loosening it. To make a mere
governor a partner in the sacred rights of the Sultan, by
giving him such extensive territory, and such vast power,
is so contrary to the principles of government, and the
usage of its subjects, that it could at no period be admis-
sible. /f the wish'ef the Pacha be to provide for his
children and descendants, the slightest reflection will con•
vince every one that the hereditary Government of Egypt
would suffice for that purpose.

SYRIA.

Extract of a private letter, dated Mount Lebanon,
August 20, 1840 :
" Five English men-of-war and one steamer are at
Beyrout, and have blockaded that port, and we hear that
Sidon, with all the seaports on the coast, if not so already,
are immediately to be blockaded. The steamer and two
frigates are cruising about, and seizing every vessel be-
longing to the Pacha which they caa lay hold of. Five or
six have already been captured, the last of which was
quite a prize, having on board two hundred Arnaoots
( Albanians), one hundred Nizams, and eighteen Moun-
taineers, captives, on their way to the Looman. The
Consuls of the Four Powers with their families have
gone on board the ships ; and our Consul sent to the
merchants requesting them to leave likewise, but
they have accompanied us to the mountains where we
hope to remain in peace. The poor Fellaheen are
quite rejoiced at the prospect of being delivered
from their bondage, yet seem as yet timid to rise again.
The Emir Beshir outwardly opposes the English, but it
is the general opinion that he will join his people when be
sees a strong force sent against him. If he does continue .on
the other side, I fear he will soon lose his head, as he is
hated as much as 'Mehemet Ali. To him do the Druses at-
tribute their last failure, and they look upon him as being
the cause of allthe misery which reigns throughout Lebanon
—many, many poor wretches have been torn from their
homes by his order, among whom are many who took no
part in the revolution, but against whom he had some
private grudge. You can little conceive the sFe.

have scarcely a rag to cover their nakedness, an'i not a

twins on the road, and no sooner were they bot n than
she was obliged to take them up, and escape from the
fury of the barbarous Albanians.
" Things are growing worse and worse, and I just
now bear that all the Christians have left Bevrout, alad
that the Paella's soldiers arc plundering the houses as
fast as they can, many of the Franks are leaving the
country, and I now fear we shall be obliged to follow."
