( From the Invalide Busse.)
On August 1.5 Aide-de-camp General Mouravieff trans-
mitted the following details respecting the evacuation of
Kars by nur troops, and the re-estabUahment of friendly
relations with Turkey.
If the Guards
In the course of the month of July the details to be
observed in surrendering the fortress of Kars to the
Turkish Government had been arrange() at Erzeroum
between our plenipotentiary, the Colonel
Loris-Melikoff, then governing the provinct s. and Ismail
Pacha, the Muchir of Anatolia. On tha t occasion
Ismail Pacha expressed his wish to repair to th. 3 Russian
camp, that he might have an interview with Lieut. -
General Khrouleff, the commanding officer of the active

corps.
Notwithstanding the malevolent insinuations of cer-
tain persons about him, the Muchir, who fully appre-
ciated the upright conduct of the Russian Government.
and who knew Colonel Loris-Melikoff by the reputation
he had acquired in his administration of the country dur-
ing nine months, arrived on the 6th of August, in order
to have a personal interview with Lieut.-General Khrou-
leff, and was received d la couclae, twenty versts from
Kars, by Colonel Loris-Melikoff and the chief of the staff
of the Anatolian army, Hussein Pacha, who had arrived
at the fortress before him.
On the morning of the 7th of August the Muchir set
out for Kars, accompanied by the new valy of Kars,
Ismail Pacha, with his suite, and an escort consisting of
one squadron of regular cavalry and 300 Kurds of rank,
who performed fantastic evolutions whilst marching
ahead of the cortege.
The Muchir was met half way by the members of our
administration of Kars ; and at fivovexsts from the town
be was complimented in the nametof the commander-in.
chief of the active corps by the aides-de-camp of Lieut.-
General Khrouleff, accompanied bf platoon of Coss
sacks of the Line and a platoon of the Don Cossacks.
On his entrance into the town the Tu,"kish troops
which had previously arrived, and were drawn up in
array along the streets, paid military honours to the
Muchir, who was saluted at the same time by the artillery.
In presenting themselves to the Muchir at the house
prepared for him the medjlis of the province and the prin-
cipal persons of Kars unanimously expressed to the Colo-
nel of the Guards, Loris-Melikoff, latelyin authority over
the province of Kars, their gratitude for the care he bad
bestowed on the welfare of the country, and requested of
the Muchir permission to present to the Colonel an ad-
dress of thanks. Fully partaking of these sentiments,
the Muchir addressed, in the name of his Governments
his cordial expression of thanks to Col. Loris Melikoff
for the care he had bestowed on the administration of
the country.
At three o'clock in the afternoon Ismail Pacha, in
full uniform, left Kars with his suite, to proceed to our
camp, and was received at the gates of the town by
Major General Chodzko, and the aides-de-camp of the
commandant of the corps Lieut.-General Khrouleff with
his staff, and the combined regiment, Ne. 1, of the Cos-
sacks of the line, met the Muehir on the further side of
Mount Kara-dagh, where the Cossacks drawn up in line
of battle received him with military honours.
The 2d and 4th battalions of the Infantry Regiment
of Beleff—the light battery, No. 7, of the 18th brigade
of Artillery—the Ist and 3d battalions of the Tonle Re-
giment of Infantry—the Regiment No. 4, of Don Cos-
sacks, and the combined regiment, No. 2, of the Cos-
sacks of the line, were drawn up in battle array before
the army.
Having passed down the front of the lines and the
camp, Ismail Pacha expressed a most flattering opinion
of our troops, and asked permission to thank them for
the honours that had been paid to him. The Cosset:kg
of the line pleased him especially.
At six in the afternoon, Lieut.-General Khrouleff in-
vited his honourable visitor to dinner, together with his
suite and three English officers attached to the army of
Anatolia. The toast of the health of the Sultan, pro-
posed by the commandant of the corps, was responded
to by the Muchir, who gave the health of the Emperor
of Russia ; and then General Khrouleff proposed the
health of the Muchir himself, who replied with toasts to
the health of General Mouravieff and of the command-
ant of the corps.
After dinner, at nine o'clock, the Muchir was in•
vited to see a display of fireworks prepared in honour
of himself. In taking leave afterwards of Lieut.-Gen.
Khrouleff the Muchir expressed t o him the profound
respect which he felt for the Emperor of Russia, and
his sincere gratitude to General "Mouravieff for his
beneficent and careful administration of the province
through Count Loris-Melikoff. On this occasion
the Muchir evinced a most frank and friendly
disposition, and a desire for the establishment of oordial
relations between the two powers.
In his conversations with Lieut. 'General Khrouleff he
had repeatedly testified his satisfaction at having visited
our camp, where he found in the 1 'arson of that general
a soldier who loyally and honestly- performed the duty
with which he had been entrusted . General Khrouleff
bad, upon his side, told the Much it in reply that his aim
was to confirm the friendly relations between the two
Powers, and that it was far more agreeable to his Ma-
jesty the Emperor to see an entent e cordiale between the
military governors of the border ing provinces than to
see them contending with each other on the field of
battle. In conclusion, the Muchir begged General
Khroulefl to assure General Mou ravieff of his desire to
meet General Mouravieff in persons if he should come to
Alexandropol, and to thank him l=kor the care which bad
been taken of the Turkish prisone re, as well as for having
appointed so worthy an officer as Colonel Loris-Melikoff
to take charge of the province of Kars. When he left
General Khrouleff, Ismail Pacha invited him to dinner
for the next day.
On the 27th July (the Bth of August) all our troops
struck their camp, and began their march to Alex
dropol.
The same day, at eleven o'clock in the morning, Gen:
Khrouleff went to Kars, accompanied by his staff. -631
a distance of several werets from the town he was re•
ceived by the Muchir of Anatolia,. with his whole staff,
attired in full dress uniform. Near the town the Turkish
troops were drawn up in line, along the road, to receive
the visitors with military honoure, and with a salute of
artillery.
General Khrouleff passed in front of the Turkish
troops, who then filed past him ; a battalion of sharp'
shooters manoeuvred afterwards, and performed sonae
gymnastic feats, as well as bayonet and rifle practice.
After the review a guard of honour escorted the corn'
mandant of the corps to the town of Kars. At oil
o'clock the Muchir called upon General Khrouleff, and
invited him to come to dinner. The table was elegantly
adorned with flowers, and displayed a silver service an
crystal vessels, brought expressly from Erzeroum. Dm'
ing the repast the Muchir proposed a toast to the pros'
parity of the Emperor of Russia ; and the commandant
of the corps replied with a toast to the health of bie
Majesty the Sultan.
The health of General Mouravieff, that of the 0001;
mandant of the corps, that of the Muchir of the army 01
Anatolia, and that of the late governor of the province
of Kars, were also duly honoured.
The dinner was concluded with a speech from the
Muchir, who again expressed his " veneration " for the
Emperor of all the Russias, and his sincere desire for
the establishment of a solid friendship between the two
Powers.
On the 28th of July (the 9th of August) Colonel Loris'
Melikoff completed the final transference of the govern-
ment of the province, and in the presence of the coal'
mandant of the corps received a complimentary address
from the Muchir of Anatolia.
On the departure of General Khrouleff from Kars the
Muchir accompanied him out of the town; he was saluted
again by the artillery, and the Turkish troops, which
awaited him, drawn up in line-of-battle, on the road,
rendered him the same honours as before.
Ismail Peas, who was not content with having Ter-
belly expressed his gratitude, charged his son-in-lae's
Assakh Bey, to send to General Mouravieff a letter
which contained a complete'and sincere acknowledgment
of the friendly welcome he had received, and of the trill/
paternal manner in which the conquered country had
been administered.

THE LATE MYSTERIOUS DEATH AT BETHNAL-GREEN.
—ALLEGED MURDER.— Yesterday afternoon the ad-
journed inquest was resumed at the Bricklayers' Arms
Tavern, Charles-street, Hackney-road, Bethnal-green,
respecting the death of Philip Darwin, aged 41
years,
who was found dead with his throat cut, under very
suspicious and mysterious circumstances. The jury re'
turned a verdict, "That the deceased had destroyed
himself while in a state of insanity, caused by his wife
having deserted him."
BRUTAL ASSAULT.—On Monday, Wm. Mills, tailor,
Worsbro', was brought up at.the Barnsley Court-house,
on a charge of committing a most brutal assault upon
Charles , Butler, a gatekeeper on the South Yorkshire
Railway, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm.
Butler lives at a lodge on the line, and one of his duties
is to keep the line clear of trespassers. On the 214
July Mills was, trespassing upon the railway, when But"
ler went up to him and requested him to get off the line.
He refused to do so, when some words ensued between
them, and Mills threw some stones at Butler. On the
25th ult. Butler again met the prisoner on the line, whet;
the latter said to him, " Now order me off again-
Butler replied, "I'll have nothing to do with you ; you
behaved so cowardly before ;" when, without any pro"
vocation, Mills pulled out of his pocket a life-preserve,
and struck him a heavy blow over the head, which felled
him to the ground. He was taken home in a state of
insensil4ility, and the surgeon called in, after examining
the injuries, pronounced him to be in a very dangerous
state, in which he continued for above a week. The
bench said that the case was one of the most brutal that
had ever been brought before that court, and one which
might have resulted in death ; and, as it had been come
mitted without provocation, they should commit the
prisoner to take his trial at the next York assizes.--
