The Comic' contains a long article on g 4 the melan-
choly and disastrous spectacle which we have just wit-
nessed in this City, in the execation of the criminals, at
which nature lamented and justice triumphed, but this
is what always happens when criminals are condemned
for crimes against (ion and against the King.". The
article proceeds to show that such examples are just
and necessary, arid that society, the state, the throne,
and the human race, cannot exist unless the enemies of
the human race, society, the throne, and the state,perish.
MAY B.—This morning the executioner left this City
with the six heads of the criminals lately. executed. to,
expose in the places appointed, besides the four already
tiled up.--Correio do Porto. May 9.

PARIS, Jima 4.
We have heard a great deal of a great battle said to
have taken place in the ensirons of Silistria. We have
just received the following official bulletin. (This bul-
stin coincides with that given by the Prussian State Ca-
ncan, with the addition of the following passage respect-
ing Asia):
" According to the reports of General Count Pas-
kewitsch, the Turks, discouraged by their defeat undtr
the walls of Akhalsik, have not since undertaken any
offensive operations, but continued to assemble their
forcts in the environs of Erzereuns. A corps 010,000
infantry and a park of artillery had lately arrived at
that place. It was generally reported in those countries
that the son of the Pacha of Egypt was to come and'
take the chief command of the Ottoman forces in Asia
Minor."

CONSTANTINOPLE, Ilwr it.
Nothing official bas been published tespecting the
operations of the Grand Vizier; it is known, however,
that he hag sent one part of his army towards Vague,'
and the other towards Schumla.
Tire Tut kish troops seem to have shown much
courage in the partial engagements strbich preceded
this movement. The
.cavalry, especially, has captured
several convoys of ammunition, and pushed its recon.
noissance to the vicinity of Bazardjik. There are daily
engagements at Siteboli, but without any result, though
Hussein Pacha had promised to retake that place in
:three days.
