Their objects were different. The one

The letter Of general Wilkinson I'd

1876, states clearly the intention III the
formation Of the Conspiracy, and thatthe
security Of the Mexican provinces was

the Turkish em7tse is said to have been
signed br France Russia and Austria,
the two first Of which powers expressed
such mar0l and cirruows indignation a.
ealnst us on account IF the autack upon

The following is the division Of ths
plunder.
France Is to reserve for her share the
provinces bordering on the Ad,iasie,. the
Seven Islands, the Motea aud Egypt.
Austria is to have Servia, Bosnia and
part Of Wallachia,
And to the lot of Russia will fall the
other part Of WallAchia, Bessarabia,
Moldavia and the island Of Candia.A
The asssiny OF ConstanthoPte Is said not
