and he has trivalphed in both cases, to the profit of true
civilization. The following are the contents of our letter
from Constantinople under the above date:—

" have received news from Aleppo to the 9th and
10th jest. I avail myself of an English boat to inform
you of the terrible chastisement inflicted on the in-
surgents cf Syria. On the evening of the 7th, Ke-
rim Pacha, invited the principal chiefs of the insur-
gents to come to him. They accepted his invite-
thee, persuaded that the fear of fresh disturb-
ances would make them respected. Kerim Pacha
hod them placed under arrest. The insurgents,
finding their chiefs did not return, rushed to arms, and
came, in number about 10,000, and insolently demanded
their liberation. The Ottoman general expected this,
and replied to their demand by charging them at the
head of 4,000 Imperial troops, whom he had assembled
in the inside of a barrack. The combat was desperate,
and lasted more than twenty-four hours, but the result
was favourable to the Turks. Three Mussulman quar-
ters, Karlak, Bab-Coussa, and El Bab Neirab, which
were the seat of the revolt, have been almost entirely
destroyed; 1,300 of the rebels fell in the struggle, and
the remainder, with the inhabitants of the above quar-
ters, have fled from Aleppo, the Turkish cavalry pur-
suing them. Not a single Christiap fell in this terrible affair.
All the property of the rebels will be devoted by the au-
thorities to indemnify the Christians for their losses on
the 14th and 15th of October, and to rebuild the three
churches which were burnt. The Sultan, who always
leans towards indulgent measures, has been com-
pelled on this occasion to do violence to his teeelings,
and to show by severe repression that those
who through their fanaticism wish, by organ-
is,,e,g vast conspiracies, to intimidate him, and
make him abandon his principles of religious toleration,
will never succeed. The Sovereign has shown to
Europe by this blow how much he has at heart the in-
terests of his Christian subjects. Accounts received
yesterday from Omer Pacha announce the complete de-
feat of the Bosnian insurgents, in two battles, at Bozo-
wins and at Zwornik. It is known that in that province
the authority of the Sultan has been set at defiance by
the Bey s, who wished to preserve their feudal rights,
which had been abolished by the Tanzimat. Thus, on
two distant points of the Ottoman Empire, insurrectio❑
had been brought about by two different causes—in
Syria, it was fanaticism which reared its head; in Bosnia,
feudality. The Arab Emig, like the Bays, met their
death by wishing to make Turkey retrogade fifty years.
This fortunate termination to those disturbances is a
good augury for the reign of the Sultan Abdul Medjid;
his authority will be strengthened by it, and as it is he
who is now the defender of the principles of tolerance
and civil equality, Turkey is called on to make rapid
progress in that beneficient path on which she entered
on the day of the destruction of the Janissaries by
Sultan Mahmoud, and since energetically pursued by
the present Sovereign, and of which the catastrophes of
Aleppo amid Bosnia are but episodes, certainly much
to be regretted, but which will produce their fruits.' "
