ARMISTICE BETWEEN GARIBALDI AND
THE NEAPOLITAN GENERAL.
, NAPLES, JULY O.
A military convention has been concluded be-
tween Garibaldi and General Clary upon the fol-
lowing terms:—
" The Neapolitans are to remain in possession of
the forts of Syracuse, Agosto, and Messina, and to
have liberty of access to all parts of these towns.
" The citadel of Messina will not fire upon the

town.
" The Garibaldian colours to take equal rank
with the Neapolitan flag.
" The navigation of the Strait of Messina to be
free."

NAPLES, JULY 30.
The city is tranquil, but agitation prevails in
the provinces.
It is rumoured that the Royal troops are about
to evacuate the citadel of Messina.

MARSEILLES, WEDNESDAY.

Letters from Naples to the 28th July assert that
Garibaldi had refused to conclude the armistice
advised by King Victor Emmanuel, and had re-
plied that he himself could alone judge concerning
the real state of things. Garibaldi is also asserted
to have added that he would not pause until the
cause of national unity had triumphed.

The disembarkation of Garibaldi on the main-
land was immediately expected.
A Naples paper had assumed the title of " Gari-
baldi." The public press was very violent in its
language.
A circular had been issued by the Minister of the
Interior, authorising the functionaries to use all
exceptional means for maintaining public order,
as the welfare of the people was the highest law.
Letters from Rome to the 28th July state that
General Goyon will leave for France on the sth of
August.

PARIS, JULY 31.

Lord John Russell has authorised Lord Cowley
to sign the convention for regulating the interven-
tion in Syria, on condition that the free acquiescence
of the Porte shall have been previously obtained ;
and it is asserted that Lord Cowley has also been
instructed to make the reserve that should Fuad
Pasha successfully carry out his present mission,
and thus render the despatch of foreign troops un-
necessary, the Powers who signed the Treaty of
Paris in 1856 shall confine themselves to supporting
the efforts of the Porte for the complete pacification
of Syria by maintaining in the Syrian waters such
naval forces as will suffice for the efficacious protec-
tion of the Christians.

PARIS, JULY 31.

The Ambassadors, in the conference held yester-
day, agreed upon drawing up a convention contain-
ing six articles, and adopting the modifications de-
sired by the Porte.

As soon as the said modifications shall have been
approved by the Great Powers, the Conference ivill
reassemble, in order to definitively sign the Con.
vention.

The Patrie of this evening says :—" In conse-
quence of the convention concluded between General
Clary and Garibaldi, there will be a cessation of
hostilities in the island. The belligerents will each
preserve the positions which they now occupy."
The same journal also says :—" It is asserted that
all the Powers agree upon the convention relative
to Syria, and that only a few matters of detail,
which cannot essentially influence the question,
remain to be settled."

MARSEILLES, JULY 31.
The Indian mail has not yet arrived from Alex-
andria.
The French mail steamer from Syria is expected
to-morrow.

GENOA, JULY 31.

The Corriere Mercantile publishes an authentic,
account of the massacres at Damascus up to the
date of the 10th July inclusive. ,
3,000 Christians hal taken refuge in the Citadel
which was occupied by the Algerines under Abd-el-
Kader.

The town was still in the power of the murderers
and incendiaries, to the number of 2,400, the
greater part of whom were Druses and Bedouins.
The Turkish garrison consisted of 5,000 men,
inactive or hostile.
The soldiers had driven the Christians into the
flames of the burning houses.
The same account computes the number of
victims at from three to four thousand ; but states
that this may be an exaggerated statement, as the
state of terror which prevailed would not allow
of its being verified.
