Jerusalem, with Mt. Olivei beyond and to the

could recollect was--"O Jerusalem. Jerusa-

your house is left unto you desolate."
TO my great disappointment, found our
camels, and luggage waiting outside the gate,
orders having been received TO quarantine all
foreigners, without respect to health, or whence
hey came. Resistance is vain, SO we quietly
entered the city under guard, turned to the left,

1he. NeStorionS.--The following is an extract
from letter dated Constantinople August II,
which we find in one Of the London papers
we have now received strange adyices from
Moussout. II is stated that the Governor of
that city and the Hurdles of the neighborhood
have entered into combination for the total
destruction of the HISTORIANS. This has been
provoked by the rivalry in making religious
prosciyies OF the French political agent and.
the English Puseyte missionary, Mr. Badger.
The Mussullees and the Hurdles penetrated
INTO the mountains, where the HISTORIAN pa.
tTiarch was, burnt his church, destroyed his
books, Killed his mother and three or five of
his brothers, and mulllIated his sister.-Thc
patriarch with difficulty escaped 10 Moussoul,
where lie took refuge in the British Consulate.
