years, and two classes of militia, one of eight, and the
other of four, years' service.

The state of affairs in Syria gave rise to a new con-
ference of the Ambassadors, which was held at Thei°l4-
dere on the 29th ult. On the Same day a"Cabinet
Council was held at the Porte to deliberate on the
same subject. The results of those conferences had
not transpired; but it was believed that no definitive
arrangement would take place until the Five Powers
had returned a reply to the last note forwarded to
them by the Ottoman Government.
Private accounts, however, state, that Riza
whom Sir Stratford Canning expected to find mor'
favourable to his views than Izzet Pacha, had been 10
inflexible on the Syrian question as his predecessor,
and as little inclined to be influenced by the repree
senta lions of the British Ambassador. All the con-
cession the representatives of the Allied Powers bad
been able to obtain from the Divan was, that the
hatti-scheriff placing the Druses and the Slaripuitfl
under the jurisdiction of a Turkish governor shod
not be issued for the present. The Porte had not yet
expressed any opinion on the late revolt%
in Servia, nor had the representatives of the
European Powers made any proposition t° they
