had taken place in the Chamber cf Deputies on the oc-
casion of the commission on an Opposition :limber of
the Chamber of one of those brutal outrages which have
become of almost hourly occurrence since the advent to
power of COLETTI. The COW rier d' Athens gives the fol-
lowing account of the transaction :
" An odious attack was committed on Thursday last,
at four in the afternoon, in the Rue de Hermes, one of
the most frequented points of the capital, on the person
of M. Lysander Vala6tis, Deputy for Elide. He was re-
turning from the Chamber when four Maniotes came
up, and after ascertaining by inquiries that he was the
person they sought, they attacked him with sticks, and
b: at him violently on the head and shoulders. Fortu-
nately some passers-by came to his succour in time to
save him from certain death. Two of the ruffians suc-
ceeded in making their escape, but the others were ar-
rested. The questions which they addressed to M.
ViL 6 is clearly prove that they did not know him, and
that they must have been set on by others. This event
caused great excitement amongst the inhabitants of the
capital. Both deputies and senators were in great com-
motion from it, and the sitting of the next day in the
Chamber of Deputies was wholly dedicated to this
affair. Nevertheless, it is melancholy to say, that
though much was said nothing was done."
M. METAXA had made this outrage the ground of an
attack on the Ministry in the Chamber, and had moved
" for the radical reform of the Government," which
motion had been rejected by 69 to 37. The offenders
had in the meantime been arrested. This was not the
only outrage that had been perpetrated in Athens. From

the same paper we extract the following
"Another fact has taken place of a suspicious charac-
ter. One of our first bankers, M. Vouros, received an
anonymous letter, in which he was called on, in the name
of twenty persons, under a threat of death, to place in
an appointed spot a sum of money. He concerted with
the police, and then proceeded to the place named, as It
to place the money. A few moments after a man made
his appearance, and went to take the sum deposited.
The police agents at the moment rushed forward and
took him into custody."

According to advices from Constantinople, dated the
27th ult., the independent Circassian tribe of the Ab-
bazes had declared for ScHAmvL, having previously re-
jected overturei %MA had been made to them from
Russia. On the 26th, a steamer and several other
vessels had been launched from the Arsenal in the
presence of the SULTAN, the SULTANA MOTHER, and
the ladies of the harem.

Accounts had been received at Constantinople from
Erzeroum, announcing that the difficulties which had
hitherto prevented the settlement of the differences be-
tween Persia and the Sublime Porte had been removed.
The Malta Times publishes a letter from Constan-
tinople, dated the 25th ult., which states that KOSREW
PACHA is doing all in his power to thwart the reform
principles of REDSCBID PACHA, and that he is availing
himself of his return to office to increase his fortune b)
corrupt means.
The SULTAN has formally consented to the marriage
of REDSCHID PACHA'S eldest son with the sister of
MnuEmET ALI PACHA, the Minister of Marine, and the
brother-in-law of the SULTAN.
The news from Syria is satisfactory.

The intelligence from Gallicia is to the 31st ult. The
following under that date is from the Universal German
Gazette, of the Bth instant :
" The peasants still continue to pillage. They are
mostly commanded by disbanded soldiers. In the circle
of Tarnow, Izela, and not Sala, commands 12,000 pea-
sants well armed. lle is persuaded that he is chosen
by Providence to be the executor of the Imperial will.
Ile has carried his audacity so far as to send a deputation
to wait on the Emperor at Vienna. In the circle of
Bothnia a peasant named lihrygo commands the insur-
gents, another named Janocha in Sandecz, and in
Przemyse and Sambo a man named Boschola. The Em-
peror's letter, thanking the peasants, was received with
contempt by the armed hordes When one of the Im-
perial Commissioners represented to the peasants, who
now consider themselves to be the owners of the property
of the late nobility, to consider that there exist widows
and orphans to whom the property belongs, they replied,
' We have flayed the great dogs, and we shall soon get
rid of the little.' Each of the Imperial Commissioners
is accompanied by six soldiers, notwithstanding which
protection two of them have been already murdered by
the peasants. In the circle of Tarnow, one of the most
populous districts in Gallicia, there remain but nineteen
of all the proprietors and their families."
The following resolutions, adopted by the representa-
tives of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, assembled at
Berlin, on the subject of the republic of Cracow, appear
in the Cologne Gazette :
"1. The republic of Cracow will continue to be a free

state.
"2. This state, however, shall not possess the privi-
lege of reorganising her militia, or of maintaining troops.
"3. The three protecting Powers shall alternatively
keep a garrison in the city of Cracow.
"4. The ancient royal castle shall be transformed into
a citadel, to be defended by a park of artillery."
By order of the President of the province of Silesia,
all Poles coming from France or Belgium, Switz rrland
or Italy, who have not their passports vise'd by the
Prussian Minister, and proceeding to Breslau, are to be
sent back to the place where their passport was last
vise'd, and under no pretext he allowed to continue their
journey.

Letters from Vienna announce the intention of the
Austrian Government to establish works for the manu-
facture of salt from sea-water at Venice. It is stated
that the Austrian Minister of Finance will be able to
provide for the exigencies of the state from the ordinary
revenue, and that there will therefore be no loan, as had
been anticipated.

It appears that attempts have been made to excite
disturbances in Brussels. We extract the following
from the Brussels Herald of Saturday :
" In the course of Friday afternoon numerous copies
of an inflammatory circular were distributed in this city,
chiefly amongst the working classes, and in the streets
where they reside. The plan adopted was as follows:—
At various points of Brussels two or three individuals
dressed in blouses, under which they concealed large
packets of the obnoxious circular, awaited for convenient
opportunities to glide some copies into the hands of the
passers-by, whilst other emissaries were on the look-out,
to give warning whenever any of the police authorities
appeared. Copies were also dropped in the public
thoroughfares, thrown into shops, or thrust under doors.
Notwithstanding all the precautions which had been
taken to conceal the authors of the seditious circular,
the police soon got on their scent, and succeeded in dis-
covering and arresting the printer. This first step led
to further arrests, and we have grounds for stating that
the authors of the circular are either already in custody
or that they are well known."
The criminal tendency of this violent circular will be
seen by the following extracts:—

" The future inspires cruel alarm. You rich people of
the land, you aristocrats, are much to be pitied, notwith-
standing your pleasures and the material treasures which
!
you possess. Your hard-heartedness, your selfishness,
jour
a
i
" That terrible prophecy will be realised, if a speedy
and efficacious remedy be not adopted for the distress of
rapacity, your inhuman conduct, will lead to rob-
bery, larism,
and assassination
those who are not beggars by profession, but of those
who know too well their dignity and their strength to
degrade themselves to such an extremity ; fur the pro-
verb says, Hungry belly has no ears.'
" Military brothers ! your relatives, your brothers,
your friends are about to expose their state of distress
to the Government. We do not wish to war against you;
all we ask for is to have work and bread, in order that
we may not all perish by hunger. Do not be against us,
for you, soldiers, are also children of the people, and if,
by order of pitiless or ignorant chiefs, you fire on the
people your balls and bullets will strike your own
fathers and mothers, your own brothers and friends. Do
not fire on the people, but say to yourselves, We
soldiers are also of the people ; we will not be our own
executioners.'
"In other parts of the circular it is stated that the
only way to prove to those who have sworn to attend
to the interests of the Belgian people that it is high
time to listen to the latter, is for all true Belgians to
proceed en masse, next Tuesday, the 14th instant, to
the King and the representatives of the nation, in order
to lay before them an account of the prevailing misery.
All true Belgians' are consequently invited to assemble
on next Monday morning in the great market-place of
Ghent, whence they are to proceed to Brussels, in order
that they may meet on the Grande Place of that city
at noon on the following day. It is stated in the
circular that 100,000 copies of it have been struck off.
This is probably an exaggeration; but it is quite cer-
tain that the document in question has been very ex-
tensively read. The authorities are on the alert, and
our readers may rely upon the vigilance and zeal of the
Government, and the love of order of the overpowering
majority of the inhabitants of Brussels and Ghent, for
the prevention of any serious disturbance."
On Saturday evening six prisoners implicated in the
above attempt were conveyed by special train from Brus-
sels to Ghent.

Madrid journals of the sth instant have arrived. The
Gaceta contains the royal decrees accepting the resigna-
tions of NARVAEZ, ORLANDO, and BURGOS, and ap-
pointing IsTottrrz as President of the Council, and
MINER° as Minister of Marine, charged provisionally
with the War Department. The decree accepting the
resignations is countersigned by EGANA, who retains
his office as Minister of Justice; that making the ap-
pointments is countersigned by the new President of the
Council, ISTURITZ. The Under-Secretary of State fur
the Finances is charged provisionally with the adminis-
tration of that department. It appears that Colonel
ORTEGA made an unsuccessful attempt, during
the night of the 4th, to get up a pro-
nunciamento in favour of NARVAEZ. ORTEGA,
MAZZERADO LOIGORRI, the Under Secretary-at-War,
and several other partizans of NARVAEZ have been dis-
missed, and General PEZUELA has been appointed Cap-
tain-General of Madrid. It is believed that the retire-
ment of NARVAEZ is real on the present occasion, that
there exists an irreconeilegble difference between him awl
