" The committee is of opinion that a constitution
based upon the federative system demanded by the
Hungarian delegates should be granted to all the
provinces, thus recognising the intimate union which
henceforth must exist between all the provinces
of the empire."
After covering the deficit of 1860 there remains
a sum of 201 millions. The amount resulting from the
reduction of expenses and from extraordinary income
will be sufficient to meet the deficit of 1861, leaving
the above balance entirely at the disposal of the
Minister to meet the deficit of 1862 ; consequently
there is no necessity either for an increase of taxa-

tion or a new loan.
The Minister estimates the deficit of 1862 at 43
millions and that of 1863 at 49 millions, which are
to be met by the above-mentioned balance of 201
millions, and by the reductions in the expenditure
arising from reforms in the administrative and
military organisation.
The Minister concludes his report by saying that
the real income and expenditure may, therefore, be
considered equalised.

I hasten to transmit to you the following tele-

from P. E. Fuad Pasha, dated from Damascus,
Aug. 4. Yesterday I arrested 330 individuals
guilty of the massacres. To-day the number of
arrests exceeds 400.

In a day or two all the chief persons who are
seriously implicated will have been arrested.
The guilty, condemned by the extraordinary
Council which I have already appointed, will be
immediately executed.

A great part of the effects, furniture, and valuables
taken have been seized.
The orderly part of the population have given
us their moral support by their; calmness.
The disaffected are terror stricken.

The greatest tranquillity reigned in the town
during the arrests, which were made without oppo-
sition. The Imperial troops have given further
proof of their zeal and patriotism.
