LEVANT MAIL.

By the Levant have received Constantinople
journals of the 24th and Athens papers of the 28th
ult., both inclusively. Several changes have just
taken place in the Turkish Ministry. The Capitan
Pacha (Soliman Pacha) had been replaced by Me-
hernet Ali, the brother-in-law of the Sultan, and for-
merly Minister of War. The Minister of Finance had
been also removed, and replaced by Nazif Pacha, who
had before filled that post, and whose bad manage-
ment had led to an inquiry which is not yet
completed. The Ministry of the Wakoufs (es-
tates belonging to the Mosques) has been given to
Hali Effendi, and Soliman Pacha has been named a
member of the Grand Council. It is said that the
bad management of the Finance Department had led
to these changes. The question of the Hungarian
refugees is stated to be at length settled. On the Ist
Of September the refugees at Kintahia are to leave
'that place fur Jeumelk, in the Gulf of Macedonia,
where they are to embark on board a Turkish
Steamer, which is to convey them to the Dardanelles,
where the American steam-frigate the Mississippi
awaits their arrival. The persons who will accom-
pany Kossuth and his family are M. Lemmi, his
private secretary (a Tuscan), Generals Perreel and
Wisosky, and Count Batthiany ; the three last have
their families with them. Twenty other superior
officers will also follow Kossuth. The Mississippi will
convey them to Washington, stopping a few days in
England. It is said that their sojourn in the United
States will not exceed three months, The Journal
de Constantinople says

" Part of thelnipewrial fleet is to leave to-morrow, to
make evolutions in the Mediterranean. The vessels
composing the expedition are the following :—Men-of-
war—Nousseietie (tho Admiral's vessel), and Peiki-
Messeret. Frigates—Schaap, Nevi& Faziila, Nurati-
Zaffer. Steam-frigates—Moubs?.ir Sowrour, Medjidie.
Corvettes—Messiri•Fera, Gul Zetif. Steam-Corvette—
Tahiti- Bah ri. Erigs—Sourai-albri, Taliar. Schooners—
Nev-&ser,B irdieDjelia. The fleet is under thecommand
of the Capitan Pacha in person, who, with his staff and
suite, is on board the Nousseretie. The Capitan Pacha
will be accompanied by Vice-Admiral Mouchauer
Pacha (Captain Slade), one of the moat distinguished
officers in the English navy, and engaged in the
service of the Porte, to co-operate in the better organi-
zation of the Turkish fleet. This superior officer,
adviser of the Capitan Pacha in the direction. of the
fleet, and in the naval operations, occupies the
&heap. We are convinced that under the command
of inch an able sailor as Moachauer Pacha the
expeditition and mar couvres will be of great utility.
We take advantage of this opportunity to speak of
another distinguished English officer—Colonel Barry
Bey. He is engaged in the Turkish navy as instructor
of artillery. After some stations on different points in
the Mediterranean, the fleet will proceed to the Gulf of
Salonica, and after manceuvring there, will go to the Isle
of Rhode:, and from thence return to the Bosphorus."
The Athens journals do not contain any news
beyond what we have already given from accounts
via Trieste.

THE BLEEDING PICTURE
IMPOSTURE.
TRIAL OF ROSE TAMISIER.
(From Galignanis Messenger.)
The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Carpentras
continued on the Ist the examination of witnesses
against Rose Tamisier, the woman accused of having
outraged the Catholic religion, by pretending to have
wrought miracles. M. Caire, formerly vicaire at
Saint Saturnin, said that he knew Rose at the
time he resided in that place, and considered
that she had a marked tendency to do extra-
ordinary things. His opinion was that her piety
was not very enlightened. For his part, when her
pretended miracles were related, he had refused
to go up to the chapel, and had recommended the
Cure to put an end to the scandal, for the sake of re-
ligioki. This led to an altercation, and the Cure ended
by saying that if witness did not demand his removal
from the parish, he would. Witness accordingly left
the parish. He had bad in his possession the original of
the letter which Rose pretended had been written by
miraculous intervention by a person who did not know
bow to write, but had burned it. As he had been the
confessor of the woman, he positively refused to answer
any questions whatsover as to her character and
conduct. M. Chavard, a priest, formerly of Notre
Dame des Lumieres, and at present at Marseilles,
said that, in order to see whether Rose really had
the spiritual graces to which she pretended, he got
her to engage in a neuvaine with him to demand a
prodigy in his favour. Beiore the end of it, he, in
order to catch her in a snare, represented that when
at prayer one day, before the altar of the Miraculous
Virgin, he saw, in a splendid vision glittering with
light, the Virgin Mary, holding the infant
Jesus in her arms ; that Jesus dropped him a letter,
written in character,' of gold, and that on opening it he
read, "Peace be with you, my son ! I have no-
thing more precious to give to those my heart loveth!"
that, after reading it, the letter suddenly vanished ;
that he had then seen three hearts, to one of which a
cross was chained ; that from one of them blood dropped
into a chalice, held by a hand ; that he had then heard
the voice of an angel saying, " Take and drink with-
out hesitation, for this blood will communicate to thee
force to resist the rude trials which await thee !" that
after drinking the chalice suddenly became changed
into a bishop's mitre, which floated before his en-
chanted eyes ! Rose declared that precisely at the same
time she had seen the same vision, and she explained
what the different things signified. M. Andre, cure of
Beaumettes, said he considered the miracles as jug.
gling tricks, and he proposed to expose them by a
publication in a religious periodical, but was pre-
vented by the ecclesiastical authorities. He found
that Rose belonged to a sect which had lately sprung
up in the Church under the direction of a man
named Vintras, the members of which pretended to
have the power of working miracles and seeing visions.
M. Crozat, one of the vicaires of St. Saturnin,
said he considered the miracles of Rose as impos-
tures. M. Grand, cure of the same parish, was then
called, and his presence in the witness-box excited
great interest. He said that on the 10th November
last Josephine Imbert had called on him to state that
she and Rose Tamisier, being alone in the chapel of
Calvary, had seen blood issue from the two wounds
of the Saviour in the painting representing the
descent from the cross, placed above the altar. He
sent her away with instructions to inform him if
'she should again observe the same thing. In the
morning of the 13th December Josephine called on
him, and begged him to go at once to the chapel. He
found Rose alone in it, kneeling on the steps of the
altar. She was in a sort of ecstacy, and did not utter
a single word on seeing him. After about ten
minutes, Rose said, "Look now, if you wish to see
the bleed flow !" He lighted a candle, and got on
the altar. He saw several drops of blood flow from

Dr. Clement.
The fetter, on arriving, burst into
laughter, en being told why he had been sent for.
But having got on the altar, he touched one of the
wounds with his
finger, and, smelling the finger,
said, 4, It is Wooer

The Doc-
tor, becerning imeetient, rolled the pocket-
handkerchief to a bail is his hand, end
roughly rubbed the painting. The blood then
ceased to flow ; but it was observed that the stain on
the pocket handkerchief perfectly represented a
heart. Dr. Clement was astonished, and cried "It
is prodigious The Doctor then added that for all
the world he wished he hal not been a witeess of
such a thing. for that all his professional brethren
would turn him into ridicule. He, however, related
what he had seen, and the matter became publicly
talked of. On the 16th December, Josephine Imbert
again informed witness that the picture was bleed-
ing, and he went to the church. A large crowd
was present, the bell having been rung to collect the
faithful. Rose was again before the altar. He got on
to the altar, and clearly saw blood flow from the
wounds; the mayor of St. Saturnin and Dr. Clement,
Who were with him, saw the same thing. The blood
