seeing treaty expire which has SO long benefited the
interests Of the inhabitants Of the United States as
we'll the subjects of his Majesty; but am charg-

the connection which is established by the Govern
ent Of the United States between the suppression Of
the Sound dues and the treaty in question, which in
reality regulates the rate At which the Sound dues
are to he levied on American vessels, but of which
the existence OF the right which that charge is
founded, is quite independent. As the Government
Of the United States has assumed the initiative in the
termination of the treaty. the government of the King,
my august master, hopes that overtures will be made
to it for concluding new treaty, calculated to main
tain the commercial relations which have hitherto
happily existed between the two nations, and pre-
vent the consequences, disastrous inevitable, Of
the defntivc extinction of this treaty-a consequence
which would cause the vessels of the United States

lnsurrectiOm In Palestine.
From the London Atlas, Sept. g.

JERUSALEM, August e.-The civil discords
which for several years have constantly desc
lated Palestine, lately assumed such serious
character as to call for the employment of
force. Certain powerful Shieks of Nablous
and Hebron broke out in open revolt and COM
mitted deplorable excuses. Fortunately
there was no ''ensemble'' in their movements
The mountain OF Nablous was promptly paci-
fed, and kiamil Pasha was able to concen-
trate all his efforts against .he Shiek Abdur-
rahman Amer, who kept Hebron, as it were,
besieged. The governor took the field with
300 regulars. some hundreds of horsemen.
1000 Arab contingents. and four pieces of
artillery.
The insurgent Shieks retired before them
and fortified themselves in idhna, one of their
principals villages where they threw mp in
trenchments.
After q week useless negotiations. during
which time numerous reinfOrccments were pre-
pairing to come and take part in the revolt,
kiamil Pasha was obliged to use his artillery
agains: the entertainments, and in spite of an
obstinate resistance, he carried the village by
assault. Seventy of the rebels we've taken
prisoners twenty-five were killed, and great
number wounded. The village itself was des-
troyed. The effect produced by this vigorous
act has been very great The great majority
Of the insurgent Shieks had gone Immediately
and made their submission. and paid the ar
rears of their tribute which they had refused
to pay for the last three wears.
