RICHMOND.

Moldavia has passed through a very successful ordeal, and
starts for Newmarket to-morrow. The trial came off on
the race-course this morning, Ameer, Zenobia, and Alice
Fauconberg, being the tests. Lund's horses galloped two
miles. Roderick Random was in slow work.

TEE INSURRECrioa IN CRETE.

--41. -

The llfoniteur du Soir gives the following news
from Crete, which, while not confirming the asser-
tion that the insurgents have accepted an amnesty,
clashes considerably with the other news that they
have resources which they mean to use for carrying
on the war for months to come.

The events in Crete seem to be entering on a pa-
cific phase. In the face of the difficulties which
recently arose the Emperor's Government remained
faithful to that policy of conservatism and progress
which it has constantly followed in the East. The
Cretans represented their grievances to the Sultan.
The French ambassador at Constantinople recom-
mended the Porte to take them into its equitable
consideration, and used all his influence in support
of the resolution ultimately taken—to send a com-
missioner to Crete, of sufficient personal considera-
tion, and furnished with sufficient powers to mediate
with effect, while at the same time our consul at
Canea used language calculated to dispel popular
illusions. But the impatient and uncompromising
spirits who wished to make the crisis au occasion for
an appeal to arms would not wait the arrival of the
Ottoman envoy, and got up arising on the day before
he landed. Blood flowed, and the movement—
encouraged by manifestations in. the Archipelago
and in Greece itself assumed in the begin-
ning an alarming character. The new French
Minister of Foreign Affairs having been requested
by King George to visit Athens on his way from the
East did all that he could to allay the irritation.
Penetrated with the benevolent sentiments towards
Greece which inspire the French Government, the
Marquis de Moustier expressed his views to the
Hellenic Cabinet with the most friendly frankness.
These counsels were accepted with gratitude. The
agitation has now lost its gravity in the islands and
in the Hellenic provinces bordering upon Crete, and
the Cretans themselves appear to be less indisposed
than heretofore to respond to the conciliatory appeal
made to them by the Porte. The Ottoman Go-
vernmet is moreover at this moment endeavouring
to solve pending questions concerning the interests
of the Christians. The affair of the Principalities
approaches. a settlement, and the election of the
foreign prince called upon to govern them will very
shortly be confirmed by the Porte. The French
Government will thus witness the realisation of a
combination which it was the first to suggest in
1855 ; which it subsequently favoured during the
negotiations in Paris in 1858, and which it again
supported in the recent conferences at the com-
mencement of the present year.
