The Nestocians.--We regret to note by the fol-
lowing extract from British paper, that the for
mer accounts Of the HISTORIANS wore true. The
additional circumstances of the persecution and
outchery now detailed, render it more than doubt
full, whether the efforts made by American Chris
tains IN their behalf, have done them any service.

The expedition of the Pasha of Mosul against
the Mountain HISTORIANS has been attended with
the most deplorable success, and that success sus

Of their existence. Letters from Mosul throw
much Of the odium of this sad affair upon tho Eu-
ropeans. 1t was the imprudent zeal of rival mis-
sionaries that first excited the Jealous apprehen-
sions of the Pasha Of Mosul, and caused him to
''let slip the dogs Of war;" on 3he unfortunate

gentlemen, with a view of prejudicing his mind
against the American missiona ries, suggested 10
him that they were assisting the mountaineers to

These reports were altogether unfounded-their
consequences, however, have been dreadful
