our honGon dates To the 18th of .Ianuary.-
They add little authentic intelligence of i'm
portance to that received by the Amity. No
thing OF interest had occurred in England.-
In Ireland the Marquis of Wellesley had ar
rived, and been received by the authorities in
Dublin. A paper of that city says, that since
the Special Commission at Limerick, no new
outrages had been committed in that quarter.
The Catholic Clergymen were actively en-
plOycd among their parshioners in endeavors
To restore quiet. In other parts ofthe country
outraSes continued To occar.-In France, 4
plot, as 1t is called against the Government,
by the pupils ola Military School at Saumur,
had been promptly suppressed by their fellow
coHeSians. Nothing had occurred to test the
strength ofthe new Ministry. In the Cham
Der OF Deputies, on the question relative to
the acts ofone of the late Ministry, the Libe-
fais continued to vote with the Royalists.
The Spanish Cortes had voted, by a large
majority, to address Il message TO the King,
stating to him that, considering that the pre-
sent Ministry have not the moral force for the
properly conducting the government of ma
tion, and causing the dignity and preroSatives
Oh 'nc throne to be respected, they hope that
his Majesty will, in the exercise OF his powers,
ue'Sh 10 take such measures as the situation
of the kingdom SO imperiousIy requires. The
answer of the King is stated To have been la
conc, merely promising to take it into consi-
deration. General Nina had submitted, as had
Cadiz and Seville, to the authority of the Go
fernnent. Contradictory accounts are given
oil The general state of the country; some re-
presenting II 10 BIZ liz state of quiet, others
OF extreme agitation. In the recent elections,
the Liberal party had been generally prcdo-

ties. AndaIusia with the greater part of the
south ri Spain, /, anti-cOnstitutional, while the
hortil Is M favour OF the existing state fittings,
or rather disposed tn support the King. The
f'yalists were in arms in that quarter, against
whom sevcra! bodies of troops had been
marched.
With respect 30 the intentions of Russia in
relation tn Turkey, nothing but runours, en-
,''ed t" little credit, affords ground for con-
.lectnrr. The Greeg>s have been partially sue
cessinl, hut their situation is not likely to be
ame'ioraied by their own efforts. In Con.
stantinors the most dreadful atrocities CONT
nued te be pcrpctra'ed, and the retaliation of
the Greeks III other parts appears to he no
less bloody. The details will be found in our
extracts.
There were rumOurs at London on the Sd,
That all the differences between Russia and the
Forte were adjusted, and the funds rose in
consequence 10 70. The Courier states that
there was not the least foundation for the re-
ports.-The Times ofthat morning remarks,
that the letters from Constantinople by the
regular mail, To the 26th Nov. stated that the
only remaining point of difference betwee,.
Turkey and Russia relates to the surrender
OF prince Suzzo and other persons who took
refuge III Russia in the early part Of the Greek
'ns',rrrction. On this point the Sultan was

1t appears that 1881 quarters of wheat,
ckc of 4
oats, have been imported from Ireland during
The last three months
The average price of corn, according to the
latest return, is lower than according TO any
former one. Wheat is now on the average
only 49s. cd. per quarter, is five or six shillngs
lower than the price before the harvest.
LONDON, Jan. 3.-The red flags had actu-
ally been hoisted at Belgrade, and this circum-
Stance had given some weight to the sinister
reports circulated on rhe Austrian frontier
But the firman for the war against Persia is
the sole reason for the measure adopted at
belgrade, and for the dsquetude which the in
habltants manifested on that occasion.
Little Wallachia is evacuated by the Mussul-
man forces, and the Turkish frontiers on the
side OF Austria are stripped of troops as in a
period ofpeace.
Some of the evening papers Of yesterday
gave an extract of a letter from the Consul at
Salonica, containing AN account Of the Turks
having succeeded in taking Cassandra, on the
18th November, after a feeble resistance on
the part OF the Insurgents, who suffered con
siderabIy.
The number of prisoners taken (says the
wrlter) have not been able to ascertain but
1T IS given out that vast number Of women
(some say 10000 have fallen into the hands
OF the Turks. True ii is, however, that up
wards of 1000 of these poor unfortunate
creatures have already been brought to this
town, and are now exhibited for sale to the
highest bidder.
The Austrian Observer of the 18th ult. had
also an account OF the capture and SUBMISSION
Of Cassandra.
Avery different account of what is evidently
Inc same affair is given in the French papers
of Sunday last, in letter from Zante Of the
30th November =
The Pacha of SalOnica, who had been four
times beaten on the frontiers of this peninsula,
fe-appeared on the Goth October (OId Stvlel
with new forces which he had recruited. Not
wlthstandlng the defeats he had sustained ne
still summoned the Greeks tO surrender, offer
ing them now at the same fine the amnesty
of the Sultan. The Turks pretended that II
was only the passage of the Isthmus, called
the CdssGndrian Gates, which prevented them
from lying the pretended courage Of these
iniideis but the Greeks thought quite other
wise of this passage aud without answering
tie propositions Of the Pacha, they Withdrew
alto the interior OF the country, leaving the
isthmus free.
The Turks, who perceived this retreat, sent
several dctachmenls TO recOnnoitre mt differ
emf times, and they did not determine 70 Mt
tempt the passage till the 22d October. Seven
thousand Turks having arrived before the
town Of CasssndFa, which gives its name to
The peninsula, found it evacuated by the inha
bitants. A small part of these troops occupied
this town, and the rest cncamped before il :
