MARSEILLES, OCT. 15.
Accounts have been received from Constantinople
,o the 9th.

The Porte had suppressed a number of govern-
ment offices, and had resolved to reduce the staff of
the army. The pay of the troops is generally in
arrear. Two new battalions had been sent as a
reinforcement to Candia, where the fermentation in
the minds of the people was on the increase. Ac-
cording to the Esperance of Athens of the 7th,
the Candiotes in arms had repulsed the collectors
of the taxes, and called for the promised revision.
In the night of the 4th the Turks raised a great
outcry, and woke up the governor, telling him that
the Christians were plotting the massacre of the
Mussulmans.

Another despatch received via Trieste, but with-
out date, says :

Lord Stratford de Redcliffe has received a visit
from the Ministers of the Porte, and has himself
visited the Cheikl-u-Islam. The conference on the
subject of the frontiers of Montenegro has been ad-
journed for a week, in consequence of the indispo-
sition of the Austrian representative. Lord Strat-
ford de Redcliffe is expected at Athens about the
23d inst.

781,083,000 f., being an increase of, 31,097,000 f.,
in favour of 1858. The items of revenue which

duty on salt beyond the range of the customs
77,000 E, duty on home-made sugar 19,540,000 f.,
tobacco sales 3,216,000 f., postage 168,000 f. Those
which show a decrease are stamp duty 1,056,000 f.,

10,116,000 f., foreign sugar 3,482,0001., navigation

ceipts 1,436,000 E, sale of gunpowder 1,099,000 E,
transmission of money 33,000 f., places in malles-
postes 15,000 f. The comparison of the nine months
of the present year with the corresponding period
of 1856 gives the following results :—The total
receipts present an increase in favour of the former
of 57,962,000 E, the amounts being respectively
812,180,000 f. and 754,218,0001. The heads of re-
venue which show an improvement are registra-
tion dues, 3,392,000 f. ; duty on French colonial
sugar, 9,871,000 f. ; ditto on foreign sugar,
4,793,000 f. ; export duties, 1,451,000 E ; sundry
non-classified customs duties, 1,190,0001. ; duty
on potable liquors, 17,418,0001. ; duty on salt
beyond the range of the customs, 549,000 f. ; duty
on home-made sugar, 13,919,000 E ; sale of to-
bacco 10,704,0001, postage 543,000 f., transit postage
on- foreign letters 428,000 f. Those which have
decreased are stamp duties 465,000 f., import duty
on corn 1,481,000 f., do. on sundry merchandise
3,176,000 E, navigation dues 20,000 f., sundry re-
ceipts 225,000 f., sale of gunpowder 609,000 f., trans-
mission of money 88,0001., places in malles-postes
131,000 E"

If the suppression of the second decime on the
registration dues, which has ceased to be received
in the present year, be taken into account, the real
increase over the nine months of 1857 would be
42,916,000 f. ; and over 1856, 68,843,000 f.

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 6th instant
contains the following extraordinary revelation :
" The great topic of the day in all circles is the dis-
covery of one of the most extensive, barefaced, and
impudent frauds ever
.committed on this or any
other government. In the country we are accus-
tomed from our youth upwards to the peculations
of the ill-paid government officials, from the Gene-
ral of an army of 100,000 men on paper, who can
only produce a third of that number of effective
soldiers when an inspection takes place, down to
the keeper of a lock-up house, who multiplies the
