favourable accounts of ritr irs in M-. 'Pc d. IT-
pointed paid attache to the SUMO mission, started-for
Trebizonde on the 23d, and will proceed, en courrier, to
Teheran. The accounts of the plague at Erzcroum are
very unfavourable. It is reported that nearly two hun-
dred persons are carried oil daily.
The address, of which the following is a translation,
has been presented by the Greek and Armenian families
and British subjects residing at Therapia, to Lord and
Lady Ponscnby

I - " Therapia, Sept. 15, 1841.
" To his Excellency Lord Ponsonby, Ambassador from
the Queen of England, and to his Noble Lady.
" My Lord and my Lady—A most honourable but
painful duty has been confided to me. It is that of con-
veying to your Excellency's feet the address of the vil-
lage of Therapia.
" Impressed with the deepest gratitude, its inhabi-
tants, whom a report of your departure had alarmed,
wished to doubt its veracity, but now that the sorrow-
ful truth is known, nothing remains for them but to
deplore their separation from benefactors who will be
the object of their constant pray ers. Our men bless
you, and our women will teach their- children never to
forget you in the prayers which they will address to the
Almighty, of whose beneficence you have been the gene-
rous_represen tative.

" Viritious without pride, charitable without ostentation,
you have succoured the widow and protected the orphan.
• All misfortunes, when made known to you, have alike
• found solace in your bounty.
" This was a noble employment of your fortune. The
' recompense of Heaven will be your just reward.
"Lord Ponsonby is indebted to his birth for the exalt-
' ed station which he holds in society, and to his eminent
talents for the ,distinguished functions wherewith he has
been charged by his Sovereign ; but your Excellencies
are indebted to your virtues alone for the universal sym-
pathies that you have awakened among us.
" May you enjoy the pure satisfaction that the soul
derives from acts of goodnes. May this satisfaction be
your constant lot. It will strew flowers over the re-
maining days which the Almighty may accord to you.
" Too deeply affected to he able to continue, your Ex-
cellencies will easily comprehend the emotion of him who
thus traces the farewell of those of whose misfortunes
he has so often been the interpreter.
"He has the honour to be, &c., &c.
(Signed) " J. D. DE NOA RY.
"We certify that the sentiments expressed by M. do
Noary are those of the: Greek and Armenian families, of
the chiefs of the village, and her Britannic Majesty's
subjects residing in Therapia.
(Signed) "NICHOLAS HADJI CHEBADJI.
"ALEXANDER SERPOS.
" GEORGIQ ANASTAZIO."
Lora and Lady Ponsonby may receive many addresses
and letters expressive of regret at their departure, but
none ought to gratify them more than the above proof
of attaehmeut on the part of the people among whom
they have resided nearly ten years. It is by conduct
such as. that depicted by M. de Noary, that representa-
tives of Government in foreign countries conquer the
esteem of the great, win the affections of the poor, and
elevate the character of their country.
The medical military commission, consisting of Doc-
tors Davy, Dawson, and others, have quitted this place.
Every effort on the part of Lord Ponsonby and the Go-
vernment failed to procure their joint admission into the
Turkish service ; a serious loss to that service. The two
talented officers above-mentioned rceeived splendid
snuif-boxes from the Sultan prior to their departure, as
a testimonial of his Imperial Majesty's satisfaction at ,
their conduct whilst at Pera.

The firman for the reorganization of the army, and
for the appointment of General Joehtnus as Chief of the
Staff, will be issued to-morrow or' next day. The affair
of the church at Jerusalem is-progressing favourably.
