The last few days have been productive Of no re-.
arkable events beyond the arrival of instructions to
NJ Wildcnbruck, the Minister OF Prussia to ir,erpose
the mediation Of that power between the Gear and
the Sultan. Il is proposed to the Porte to sign
note convention, materially the same as that first
offered, but worded differently, as to spare, as
much as possible, the susceptibities of the Porte
How far Prussan dpomatists have succeeded in this
difficult task we are unable to say, not having seen
the document but from the nature of the thing il is
clear that it would Iot admit Of much modification
from the original and Objectionable sened. In return
tie Emperor II 70 sign note his part disclaiming
sny intention OF interfering with the sovereign rights
OF the Sultan. More than one council has been held
10 consider this question Of the mediation but as vet
nothing - determined upon. The Dvan is divided
into two parties of almost equal weight and authority

Mutergim, man who by the for ;e Of talent has won

nun Is Feth Ahmet Pasha, the brother.inlaw of the
sultan while, on the other hand, Mustapha and Red

sixty feet distant, the crowd giving way on each

back, and when within few feet snapped . pistol
at Young, (the Doctor having endeavorcd to shoot
again in the meantime, and failing, threw the pistol
OF Brown, but missed him) Brown then struck the
Doctor the head with his pistol, cutting him to
the bone but they were separated before any further
injury was DONE
