Ex-editor of the Figaro, ex-editor of the Europe Lfge-

present moment, pending The contingency of a fourth &, &Li;

act evinces a degree' 'of eetirege and candour, but as it
happens in. all instates uf politeness rather' reluAantly con-
ceded, yea stopped ila'f way, and. your negative does not ex-
tend beyond the disclaimer of the article in the Mei'nfitp
Post So there remains the calumnious inthibiis article of
the 31st May in the Tintess Y9.,1 must of course naturally
feel, Mr. Victor Bchatie3, that the great weight of the latter
paper is a perareonut motive which places the under the ne.
ces4ty of repeating to you what I already wrote to yeti oft the
sa of June ; a circumstance which I assure you giees mte meth
pain. As to the lengthened and eery sitnple stateinent Nen
yourself to the National, it does hot'until 011 Inc in any way
whatever, sere and eX'Oerlt as ' far as relates to inac-
curacies resetting facts, and a lack of sincerity respecting
nanue4 nhiC It will be my endeavour to rectify in my next
publication, the insertion of which I beg to recommend in
your next number, for from the moment the imperfect answer
reached me, steps were taken by me si as legally to obtain Joe-'
tice of that most base, cowardly, and infamous of calumnies,
by enforcing through legal means, from the Morning Post and
Times respectively, the disclosure of their correspondent's
name ; so then we shall soon see all about it, Mr. Victor Bo-
haine, for you may take my Word that the matter, shall not die
" a languishing death."
My publication will be ready for sale oh the 25th of the
month, and will be, word for word, an answer to your inatcti,
rate and not overtrue narration, since you only give the name
of one, mita two individuals, viz., the AbW de Genoude. As
to myself, acting openly, boldly, at all those are apt to do who
are only led on by lefty and conscientious conviction, I
have no motite Whatever to imitate what you, Mr. Victor,
Bohaine, would wish to be mistaken for a sample of forbear-
ance or delicate feeling, for which, however, you may rest quite
assured no one will give you the least credit, inastinich as it is
ridiculously absurd, since you gave in print, the very next
day after the departure of these two Individuals, the full names
(in your paper) of the Marquis dela Roche Jacquelin and of M.
1' Abbe de Genoude. As to myself, ever more favourably disposed
%towards the rittlitary than the clerical cloth, I must fill up the
deficiency treated by your ingenuous prudence, by confessing
that it is you, Mr. Victor Bohaine, who introduced to me, at my
own residence, underhisnameandtitle, the Marquis dela Roche
Jacquelin; from this positive fact, the inference is that you
were acquainted with him. However Republican may be
sentiments, and whatever pride I may derive froth them, tlsis
illustrious name, so thoroughly Freud) Will leave me during
the remaining portion of my existence under a pleasing im-
pression, " like to the remembrance of the twilight belonging'
to days, alas, long-grove ; it flattered, therefore, and pleased me
much, when I received the Marquis de la Roche Jacquelin
under my roof, and the only thing that surprised and mortified
me was that the Marquis should have selected you, Mr. Victor
Bohaine, for the purpose of introducing him to me ; a declara-
tion on-my part, which although it may chance not to be abso-
lutely polite, is nevertheless most positively true.
My time being very much taken up, and my eyes being on the
eve of numbering sixty-three years, if you will permit me, Mr.
Victor Bohaine, I wiil tell you the remainder in my pamphlet,
which will be in circulation on the 30th, and respecting which,
by way of advertisement, I beg of your ingenuous, obliging dis-
position, and perfect delicacy of feeling, that you will be
pleased to insert the following :

AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Monday
morning, about three o'clock, Mary, the wife of Mr.
Henry Groome, a compositor on this paper, living at
Galleywood Common, was discovered by him lying on

the previous night in apparently good health, and at
the time above-mentioned Mr. G. awaking, missed her
from his side. He immediately got up in the bed for the
purpose of seeking her, when he fonnd her as above ib-

vates, with arms and baggage, in spite of the recent mea-

with arms and ammunition. The Government of Candia has

a short time ago 8,000 muskets, which arrived safe a few days
since) and in good condition. The Ottoman faces at present
in the ports of Catlett and Castro entount to 12,000 men. Their

name of his Sovereign, as proteCtor of the Christians in the

The Turkish authorities of Bulgaria, and the adjoining pro-
vinces, have received orders to repurchase, at the expense
of the Porte, all the slaves hitherto made by the Turks, to
escort them back to their Vi'leges' and to give them every, in.'
dernnity necessary to re-establish their houses burnt or plun-
dered by the • Turks,. and to enable them to resume their
agricultural labours. At the same time the Porte has officially
addressed thanks to the Prince of Servia, for having harboured
the Christian fugitives from Bulgaria, and sheltered them
against the cruelty of the Turlia.

Candia. The Turks having sallied Out of the fortressea of
Caneo and Castro, in order to atlitante into the interior, have
been reptibled and obliged to shut themselves up in the t-. 70
fortresses just mentioned, where they are closely blockaded.
" The signal of hostilitieslas just been given by the Turks
in Bulgaria and in the island of Candia ; it cannot fail to have
an immense effect throughout the province of European
Turkey, principally inhabited by Christians. Insurrection is
already organised in Macedonia end 7hessaly. We hare re:,
aired several decrees froth the titivernments established there,
bearing the seals of the maw authorities. We have beheld on

the question of the tribute is not one to be speedily settled,

the northern provinces of Turkey; and still more to the Cre-
tans and continental Greeks, it must appear desirable that
Mehemet Ali should still maintain the hostile attitude which
he has assumed against the Porte. Thus much is very certain
tiara sly; that the Christians Upon these frontiers were never
in such a state of excitement as they are at this moment.
Nobody for a moment doubts bet that not only are there
foreign Powers that Connect thest deep laid schemes with this
stated irritation in the country, but that there are also some
natitt; Prilices arid families of flospodars who take ad-
Vatitege bt It to ravOur their cherished viets of ambition for the

the one hand the young Duke of Leuchtcnberg it pointed out
as the happy man who, under the protection of Russia, Is to
unite under his sway the countries on this side of the Balkan,
on the other hand the Governments of Moldavia, Wallachia,

CONSTANTINOPLE, MAY 26.—1 see that much doubt has
been entertained as to the accounts I have already given you
of the insurreetibtl in Alefsopotamitt. But I have said rather
too little than too much upon the subject. In Pasonata, Thar-
bekir, exists a directing board, independent of the central Go-
terninerit. vin the higher elasse; (the tlientas for instance)
hive joined the itistirgents. Zakeria Pacha, who was to have
matched against the rebels, has, with all his haste, not yet got
out of the gates of the town. Ile asked for 10,000 men ; and
nothing could be given him, the state of Lebanon and
the active mantbuilts dr the NAB, on the Nile not admit-
titi3 of any diminution of the forces in Syria. It may
be very easily imagined with what zeal under these circum-
stances the mountaineers behind Diarbekir beat up recruits,
and make preparations for resistance. Ihe stone is cmly now
beginning to roll, and Mesopotamia is a county where European
curiosity and impatience cannot sa easily intrude themselves as
in Egypt. In the mean time the pachalic of Orfa, adjoining
Diarbekir, has declared itself emancipated front the Porte, and
the insurrection is upon the Syrian frontier ; and that there
Cab be no mistake as to' the character of this movement, the
Christians in the insurgent districts were all massacred. The
Suabian Mercury of the 17th inst. states that the funds had
experienced a depression at Vienna, in consequence of a loin of

NATURE THE DOCTOR.—About four months
ago, a young man named Samuel Parratt, now residing
at Bradford-moor but lately of Leeds, fell and injared
himself. He was taken to the Leeds Infirmary, and
thence discharged as incurable. He came home to Brad-
ford-moor, and was seized with fits, which entirely de-
prived him of the use of his lower extremities. He was
under the care of a surgeon for near three months, and
was treated as for a spinal complaint, but without any re-
sult. A week or two back he was seized with a fit
stronger than usual, and to the astonishment of his
friends, when he recovered from it he had acquired the
use of his limbs, which he has ever since retained, and he
is now able to walk as well as ever. %% understand the
physicians are unable to account for the case.—Bragford
