" Letters from Beyrout," says the Presse, "received by ex-
press, bring the following important intelligence :—Mount
Lebanus is in insurrection. Twelve thousand Maronites are
under arms, and have named for their chief Francis Cozeno.
Two Druse chiefs, who were as hostages at Beyrout, escaped
during the night, and returned to the mountain to make
common cause with the Maronites. The inhabitants of the
Lebanus had declared, that after having for a length of time
demanded from the Porte that the exactions of the Turkish
functionaries should be. put a stop to, they have no longer
any hope but in arms."
The Postampt Gazette of Frankfort gives the following,
of the 20th ult., from Posen :—" Within the last few days,
the Government has adopted measures which give rise to a
belief that not only the Polish emigrants and Russo-Polish
directors had entered into revolutionary conspiracies, but
that they have been joined by young men belonging to the
Grand Duchy. Domiciliary visits have been made at the
houses of several young men of the city, and their papers
seized and put under seal. Forbidden books have also been
detected and secured. At the same time we have not learnt
whether the Government have succeeded in acquiring the
evidence sought for."

A letter from Zara (Dalmatia,) in the Journal de Frank-
fort, states that, on Feb. 9, near ten in the evening, a slight
shock of an earthquake was felt in the neighbourhood, which
lasted three or four seconds. The atmosphere was serene at
the time.

It is stated in a letter from Carleruhe, of the 22d, that
the principal cemetery of that place has been recently
the scene of repeated violations. More than forty graves
have been opened, and all the gold and other valuable orna-
ments with which the bodies were interred stolen. As these
atrocities were carried on with great caution on the part of the
depredators, the crime would have remained unpunished if a
young man had not been arrested in the act of offering for
sale a silver handle of a coffin. This person instantly con-
fessed, and denounced his associates, not less than thirty of
whom have since been apprehended.
