SAT) STATE OF SYRIA.

BETROUT, Ala aril 16.—0 n the 10th inst. 12zet Pasha re-
ceived a deputation from the inhabitants of Nlelak-at- el- Da-
mour, a large village of 250 houses, every one of which was burnt.
They complained that Sheikh Nassif Abon Neked kept forcible
possession of their land, that they had nothing to eat, and that
if the mulberry trees were not cultivated, they could have no
means of subsistence. Izzet Pacha replied, that he expected
Omar Pacha to come from Dair-el-Kammer in a few days. and
he would consult him on the subject.
The people are fairly wearied out—the humbler classes
from the actual pinch of poverty, and those who are in easier
circumstances from want of confidence. They talk of nothing
but the return of Ibrahim Pacha, or of the old Emir Beahir.
On mature reflection I think the latter less probable, for the
restoration of the former Emir Beshir would be a great step
towards the restoration of order and the necessity fur calling in
Mehemet Ali would be weakened. The greater the anarchy
the stronger. is Mehemet Ali's case, and if his influence be as
great in Constantinople as it is nos in Syria, he will guard
against the return of the Emir Jloshir, except under his oan
auspices. And what is to r inter Meier met Ali from being
powerful at Constantinople? Never was he better off in money
matters, and never was Turkey more poor, corrupt, and de-
graded. But can England allow him to return if he be under-•
s ood with the Porte and Russia? " Ay, here's the rub." At
all events the mere re-con.,uest of Syria, if the Frank Powers
d , not prevent it, would be a dejeuner a /a fourchette for Ibra-
him Pacha. He could make a triumphal march from Gaza to
the Taurus without ever firing a shot.
On tl e I Ith the 1 hmnix steam-frigate arrived in 'our rays
aid a halt from Constantinople, with despatches from Sir Strat-
fo -el Canning to Colonel Rose.
The official trustee on the estate of the late eccentric Lady
Hester Stanhope has terminated his labours. Her debts
amounts to 600,000 piaste, s ; her assets to 240.000. The
estate will thus pay about Bs. per pound sterling. Her affairs
will be wound up by an English and a French merchant of
Beyrout.
Nedjib Pacha was by the last accounts at Mezareib with
Shibly-el-Drian. Muste,pha Pacha remained a week at Na-
plouse to arrange the disputes of the Abd-el-Iledy family with
the Naplousans.
It is reported that the people of Tersous have risen against
the Mohussil, and killed him in consequence of his having im-
posed the Ferdeh.
'I he p'ague has broken out at Zahle in consequence of the
action of the spring weather on the numerous dead bodies
which were imperfectly buried there after theDruee attack.
By the last accounts front Palestine, the Bishop had gone
down to Jaffa with Mr. Nicolayson, to look after his furniture
and effects. A most melancholy accident had occurred there.
'Chet innate of the Hecate steam-frigate lost, on the Bth in-
stant., some water casks, which were washed ashore. On the
following day some marines were sent in a boat to guard the
casks, but the well-known treacherous surf of the Jaffa reef
uptet the boat, and first lieutenant, the pilo', three marines,
and two sailors, in all seven persons, were drowned.

Turning from the south to the north of Syria, we find that
the Turcomans of the plains between Aleppo aud the Bay of
Scanderoon have revolted against the Government, and re-
fused to pay taxes. Assad Pacha had sent the irregular troops
against them without effect, the Turcomans having tetind into
the mountains.

The agents of the French societies for the revolutionising
the Christians of the East are actively at work, and various po-
pulations on the coat between this and Tripoli have been sup.
',lied with powder purchased at Cyprus. the greatest agita-
tion reigns at Tripoli, where the Christians talk of refusing to
pay taxes, and the Mussulmans OA of massacring the Chris-
tians. The latter do not rely on their own force, but on their
brethren in the valley of the Kadiha, and in the neighbourhood
of Gibbet 13esherrai. If a religious war break ont, to which
the Niuss.almans are direct parties, we may look for a bloody
spring. The timely arrival of the former Emir Beshir, or his
son Ameen, may avert all.
The Government, aware of the gravity of the crisis, is
about to draw a sanatory and political cordon around Peyrout,
so as to cut of all communication between the mountain and
the town.
A suit, long pending between Sheik Hussein Suleyman and
Hamid-el-Brgh, regarding the local Government of the Mo-
tualy district, between Sidon and Acre, which goes by the
name of Belled I3vshara, has been decided bylzzet Pacha in
favour of the firmer. It is also said that the Government in-
tends to strengthen itself against the embittered Christians by
arming all the Motualies.

The staff division of the 78th Regiment of Ross-
shi e Buffs arrived yesterday, at two o'clock, at the Enston..
square terminus of the Birmingham RitilVray, on teir route
from Dublin to India. This fine corps is known as their route
from Dublin to India. This fine corpS s knOwfl as the Mac-
kenzie Highlanders, and the}' wear the tartan of that clan.
They marched along the City-road for Blackvvall, where they
will embark for Gravesend ; and the novelty of so fine a body
of Highlanders, with the national music, attracted a large con-
course of spectators, who repeatedly cheered. Part of the regi..
ment will remain in London fur a short time, in order to re-
cruit and receive volunteers. It is not generally known that a
considerable fund was subscribed durin: the war for the salary
of a dergyman•to preach to Highland soldiers or sailors, when
passing through London, in their vernacular tongue ; and
sermon is still preached in the national. church on Sunday
afternoons.
