cuded between Russia and the Porte. Up TO
this period Russia had refused TO accept the con-
ditions which the treaty OF 1888 laid down with
regard TO England aud France. Her commercial
transactions were regulated bv the treaty OF the
10Th June, 1888, and by Art of the treaty OF
Adrianople. The conditions just subscribed to
by Russia are most favorable to the Porte. Art.
10 IS alone of importance to Russia, as IT lays an
/ embargo on military stores. with which Turkey
provided the Circassians. Formerly Russia paid
per cent on the importation of Russian produc-
lions into Turkey, and per cent on the exporta
ton OF Turkish goods. In future she is TO pay III
the same proportion as England and Frances
per cent importation and IL per cent on
ports. BY Art 8 the Porte reserves to its own
subjects the exclusive right Of retail selling, and
Porte laid great stress, and which was, and is still,
a subject OF contention between the Ottoman
and European Cabinets. Art ii reserves to the
Porte the monopoly. OF different productions.
Art. IS stipulatas special conditions for the pro-
vinces of the Danube. Art II stipulates that the
Turkish flag, Turkish subjects, and Turkish pro-
duce, TO be treated in Russia on the footing of
the most favored nation. The duration of the
treaty is fixed at ten years.
Cape of Good Hope.
From the Cape of Good Hope we have advices
| to the 2Sth of May. Ten thousand kaffrs, who
had swarmed round Fort Peddie, were dispersed
by artillery and rockets, and retreated, leaving
considerable dead behind them. The firing hav-
ing frightened the cattle, which were gathered
under the walls of the fort for protection, the
bea SITS broke loose, and were carried OIL by the
Kailirs, the number of four or five thousand
head On the Sth of June thousand kafiirs I'M
expectedly found themselves wedged in between
{, parties of the British forces. Capt. kits's
dragons, mounted men, fought calamity. The
Koffer's were galloped over and cut down in the
retreat, to the number some hundred.
Overland Mail.
The Overland Mail from India and China had
arrived. The intelligence from India by this az
dale has retired from the government OF the Presi-
dency. Sir Lawrence Peel, the Chief Justice OF
