THE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1860.

The news which, though we received it direct
from the Turkish Ambassador last night, was only
in time for our later editions, is the first ray of
hope which has reached us from Syria. It is no
little relief, after such tidings of horror as we have
received from day to day, to hear of the commence-
ment of the work of retribution, and still more of
a style of retribution which will result in safety to
the hitherto helpless victims. The Turkish troops
in Syria, who, like the Sepoys of India, have muti-
nously refused to protect the Christian subjects of
their SULTAN, and who even, in many cases, joined
in the murder, pillage, and violations, will now begin
to tremble ; and their leaders, by their position and
station, far worse than their men, will have to an-
swer, w.ith their heads, it may be hoped, for
their treasonable and murderous co-operation with
the savages of the Desert, the Druses, and the low
bigoted Muesulmans who joined them in their fiend
like work.

FUAD PASIII has addressed himself to his task,
in a manner which is intended to show the inuti-
lity of the intervention of Christian powers. We
may well believe indeed that his rigour is in part
due to the expectation of that intervention ; but
FUAD PASHA was sent from Constantinople because
he was: known to be a man who preferred justice
to bigotry and fanaticism, and because he had
the energy and ,decision to make his presence
respected. About three weeks ago we heard of
his arrival at Beyrmt, where he immediately put
under arrest three o.r four inferior military autho-
rities; and, soon after, the Governor of Damascus
was sent to Constaniineple to answer for his deeds.
He seems, however, Ito have been looking around
him and making inquiries, since, last night, we
learned that the number of arrests exceeds 400,
with the important addition that, in a day or two,
the malt important persons compromised in the
massacres will hav(3 been apprehended. He has also
named a commissi on, before which those who have
been apprehended will be tried, and if found guilty,
executed immediately. His Excellency FUAD
PASHA, who hims. elf sends the communication from
Damascus, gives ; i good account of the disposition
of the well disposE part of the population, and the
terror of the wor s e part, his own words are—" A
great part of the l ) roperty, in furniture and objects
of value, that had been concealed, has been found
and recovered. T tie well-disposed part of the popu-
lation have given us a moral support by their quiet
and orderly condi Ict. Those inclined to evil are
struck with terror . The greatest tranquillity pre-
vailed in the cit y while the arrests were being
made ; they were effected without firing a shot."
These facts, how ever, only go to prove that, had
the Governor chi nen, he could have prevented the
massacre altoget her.

The worst par t of the population were, we are
told, thunderstri ick to find that FUAD PASHA had
been sent. They l tad expected, we are informed by the
Daily News corn Ispondent at Beyrout, that NAMIK
PASHA, of Jeddah notoriety, one of the greatest
fanatics in the envpire, would be sent down; and
so certain were they- of thin. that Tilt PASHA, the
military commander, and soo-in-law of Namix,
when he heard that v. paddle-wheel frigate, with a
133419:8 flag at the main, was approaching the
roadstead, sent h.'s horses down t,) the landing-
place tor his relative. Tln PASHA is another of the
fanatical
school, and like XORSCIII D PASHA, the

Syria, far better in the latter, all the, se

others like them, receive the due re. ward of their
deeds. Nothing can save the empire b ut its evincing
strength enough to ensure the safet, y of Christian
life and property. France is on the',watch to make
