cism Of the South Arabian tribes, tile Hadramites,
broke out in open hostility against AL
the Fnropeans. and led to the massacre of the
TnoIsh and French COnsus and their families.
There were many petty reasons for hostile feel
inc on the part Of the population; for instance, an ~
reference with their carrying monopoly, and with
their courts of law; but the real cause OF the out
break s certainly the religious jealousy OF the Arabs,
who could not bear the increasing number OF
European .infdes" at the port of Mecca, since

hammed HndOO Mussulmans may have excited
fbeir feelings by telling how the Great MOgl, nOml-
nay an independent prince, was tried by the En-
c6sb for acts which he did in his capacity an
knowledqed sOyeregn how those OF the same religion
with themselves were blown from guns aud hung
10 dozens without regular trial; how the faithful ally
Of the Company, the King OF Dude, was deprived
Cf his throne under the pretext OF msrule, while
his people, in spite of the alleged msrlle, rose in
arms against the English and have repudiated their
SWAY. The minds Of the Arabs thus incensed, some
slight occurrence not yet sufficiently known led to
the cruel massacre. The next result OF the out
break will be the military occupation OF Jdd1h by
a combined force OF French and English, and then,
perhaps q revolt Of Arabia against the Sultan and
his European allies. Among thinking Turks, and

Of the present Sultan leads to the betrayal of Tur

European powers. great crisis in the East ls
fast approaching in spite Of the destruction OF Sc
yastopol and the treaty OF Paris.
Queen Victoria is going TO Prussia, whence disa-
sreeable rumOrs about MISUNDERSTANDING IN the
Hoya family frequently arrive to disturb the temper
of the Court Her visit is Intended to arrange all
these personal difficulties.
ODonnell, in Spain has now introduced one of
the American Democratic institutions into the Pen
insula--he is decaptatng all the Government officers
who do not belong to his party, and filling their
places with his own adherents, that in case he should
be once more dismissed in insulting way, as hap
pened 10 him two years ago, everything may be
ready for an energetic pronunciamiento.
The Pope, who formerly oscilated between Lib
eralism and Absolutlsm, yacllates now between
French and Austrian support. Formerly he was all
for the French; now he detests them, and leans
toward the Austrians, who have succeeded in con-
vincing him that Napoleon meditates an Italian IN
vasiCn and reconstruction of the Italian nation
shty. In fact Napoleon is playing fast and loose;
be bullies and coaxes both Austria and SARDINIA;
be disayows the ntgues of the Muratists, but puts
no stOp to them; he threatens England, and invites
the Queen to the review at Cherbourg; aud manages
to make himself distasteful to ai Europe; but he
has made friendship with Russia, and is therefore
