lsh empire becomes from day to day more men,
acing. The Pasha of Albania, the chief of the
revolt, keeps the Grand Vizir blockaded at
Monastir, in Rumelia On the other hand, the
insurgents of Bulgaria are masters of So phia,
the capital of pachalic. After few further
successes, they may reach the borders of Con-
stantinople. The Divan is celebrating and
taking serious measures; the Sultan is urging
on With ardor the organization Of his army, and
is sending reInforcements to his generals with
all speed. The eastern part of the empire is
already torn to pieces. The Pasha of Bagdad
is in open rebellion The Porte has charged
the Pasha of Aleppo 10 assemble all his dispos
able forces in Asia Minor, and to march to-
wards the Euphralcs and Tigris. He has even
conferred on the Pasha the title of Caliph of
bagdad. To second his operation, the Viceroy
OF Egypt has been invited to furnish body of
men against the Pasha Of Bagdad and, as a
recompense of tho services which the Porte ex-
poets from him, the pachaic of Syria has been
added to his extensive terrilory-an addition
which makes Egypt power almost equal to the
Porte, if it be remembered that the Viceroy
relgns at the same time over Arabia. Nubia,
Senaar, Fezzan, and the large island of Gambia
But the Forte appears to rely on the sincere
support OF the Viceroy in an insurrectional war,
IN which the interests of the Divan of Alexan.
drla are the same as those of the DIyan of Con-
stantinople.
The aim of the revolted is in fact to DESTROY
the administrative and military innovations in

ropean plan, and to place all things on the foot

ropean discipline, depending directly on the

the provinces. He has also reformed the Turk

old Eastern etiquette which has scandalized the
ignorance, routine, and pride of the ultra Turks
Whlie lnsurrections are breaking out in Eu-

Smyrna, March 49, The Sultan has given
to his Greek subjects in Turkey half million
OF pastres to repair their dilapidated churches,
and has granted them free federation of their
religious privileges, which they did not enjoy
before, having been subject to many burden
some taxes The Kayaks, that is to say, sub
Jects OF the Porte, not Turks, whether Greeks,
Armenians, Armenian Catholics, or Jews, are
to be considered equal in the eyes of tho law
and Turks are not to enjoy the least preference
IN courts of justice over their fellow subjects
oi other religions for in the opinion of the Sui
tan, they all form but one family, religion be-
ing an affair OF the conscience, and matter for
which each individual is accountable TO God
only. 10 all those parts of Roumelia which
have been ravaged by the war. the Sultan in
tends to remit sums of money, grain, cheese,
butter, and other provisions, to DO distributed
gratis, among his poor subjects; and he grants
to the Inhabitants of that country a complete
exemption, for two years, from taxes of every
description. The Sultan intends to establish a
police on the European system at Con stantino-
plc, and has called upon the foreign ministers
to make out lists of their respective subjects
Thus it will be seen that reform is the order of
the day even in Turkey.
REMARKABLE. A painful and singular event
has lately taken place in a Commune near Pith-

the name of Lssourd, born at Meung, near Or.
leans, was bitten year ago, by mad dog, and
Immediately afterwards symptoms Of hydropho-
bla were perceptibie. He was taken to the
hospital at Orleans, where he was attended by
Doctor Leveque, and in short time, sent away,
as was supposed, perfectly cured Last Sun
day Lcseurd came to the MatsainviIliers, W here
he commenced begging with his brother. Eli
ther want, or the fatigue of long journey, had
opened his wounds alresh, or his cure was not
complete, for all on sudden the unfortunate
boy was seized with violent paroxysm of mad
ness, and attacked his brother, who, frightened
as he was, managed to beat him off with stick
He then threw himself on a COW and calf

or and the roar of the animals, compelled him
to let 60 his victims; and he crept along the
road till he came to quick set hedge, the roots
of which he gnawed with the greatest avidity !;
and next, getting up, he ran into neighboring
wood.

go near MIN, ana some new accident was appre-
hended but whilst those in pursuit of him
were consulting as to the best method Of secur-
ing him, the expression of his countenance
changed, he wept bitterly, and went up to his
brother, asking him for bread. To avoid fur
ther danger, he was tied down in wagon, which
took him to Pithivisrs.
Here he was placed in an airy room, and ev.

required. He related to Doctor Auge, all that
he had suffered during this paroxysm of mad.
ness, and was extremely distressed in mind.
He asked to be taken back to the hospital at
Orleans, whore he said M. Lcveque would
cure him again. Notwithstanding no now ap.

that he will eventually sink under disorder
of which the seeds are evidently in his blood
