MARSEILLES, FEB. 10.

Intelligence from Constantinople of the 3d an-
nounces that Mehemet Bey, having been besieged
in the fort of Jesera by the insurgents of the
Herzegowina, was obliged to capitulate, obtaining
only the favour of his men carrying their arms.
The Turks were making common cause with the
Christiansaca
s.
A proclamation of the insurgents de-
clares that all they want is the fair execution of
p
h
the laws. The commissioner of the Porte had
sent in an ultimatum to Prince Danilo. Further
disasters had taken place in the Black Sea and
Sea of Marmora. Tempests, accompanied by heavy
.falls of snow, had lasted nearly a month. The
Turkish population was suffering dreadfully.
England is arming the fortifications of Corfu and
of Zante."

MADRID, FEB. 10.

The Senate has voted the address in reply to
the speech from the throne, by a majority of 91

According to letters from Odessa the number of
sailors in the Black Sea is not to be diminished.
As the vessels of war are not to exceed a certain
number, the Grand Duke Constantine has given
orders that all the sailors who were in the service
of Government shall be sent on board merchantmen,

The Paris correspondent of the Times (second
says :—" The Moniteur contained. the
and simultaneously with its being laid

t) day,able:of the House of Commons, the despatch
of M. Walewski, suggesting something should be
done in the way of modifying our laws so as to reach
conspirators. I have not seen the same alert-
ness displayed about the despatch which ex-
presses the
Emperor's regret for the language made
use of in the addresses. Tue Moniteur does
not give it either in its partie officielle or non-
officielie. This is hardly fair. If it be not given
the army and the people will remain under the
impression that we have lost no time to comply
with the demand to reform our law, and perhaps
that we did so in consequence of the addresses,
but they will
not see that regret has been ex-
pressed by their own Government. lam quite
of the opinion of Sir Lucius O'Trigger, that "an
affront handsomely acknowledged becomes an ob-
ligation ;" but I also think the publication of
M. Walevvski's apologizing despatch would be a
graceful termination to the affair."
