mission to Damascus, m happy to lc!orm you
that he has made good beg'nu,ag, aud ke has
thus far rraved hinlttN worthy Of the ccefi.
dence r9pased m him By the Sultan, and tie
Ambassadors at Const aot1nop1e.
Letters from Damascus dated the 20ih inst
ichrm US that esr;y in. tue morning Of that dsy
alxsy fur Of the Moslem citizens Of Damascus
were found hing before their own doors.
"These are the first executions for tue masaa-
ere in Damascus. This hss throw tie city i1to
gloom deeper than before. The lew Moelems
who had oVeued their shops have c.osed them
ta.dty. The Jews keep to their onn quarters.

The MoslcptK sre cowncast, aud many OF taen
wsepirg. The women Of 1hose hanged, and
thoss OF the prisoners NOW fearing tie worst,
in the streets. and cursing the dcgs aud swiDc

ten, bare been marched to tie plain for execu-
lien, and three hundred we1e sent awsy from

Yesterday there were thirteen hundred under
arrest. The IacEa is tesiEuus - detaiu the
ChristIars aud induce them to 20 to the houses
from which lie has driven the Mcslems.''
The foregoing is the testimony of N E1gli.h
gentleman who hns remained In Damascus dur
1us the entire crusade
Information hns also, iear:, been rcceire3
at the American Consulate to nearly the same
effect. 1h. Uaited States Wise Ccnsul at ID
nuscus informs LS chief ct Dcrrout that "6fty.
serrn were hung in the city, fEe Of whom were
Of the ieadiog Mos!eue. and the eremsindcrfrom
tie lower ciasses. Two Of them were those
who attacked E'ice Consul Mctbaka in his own
hou7c, a3d wounded Aim fevereIT upon the
lead snd arm. At twn o'clock =. H., one hun-

AgEa, the san Of Shen:din Aqua, wh3 Wis a

iE6urrect,oE."
Ihcs hns the first insta!mcnt Of justice been
wrung out, and We expect to le.ra Of further
executions by the next post
Notwithstanding tbis, G, RI Graht1n, who has
just returned from tour in The interim, after

presses the firm conviction that Christians will
never be able TO reside in D:myscua again so
