What an exhibition of Moslem fanaticism and in
tolerance is this Behold the guarantee Of the
Moslem for the preservation Of peace in future.
However just and indignant the Turkish Govern
ment may be-and the execution of civil and mill
tary Pashas indicate desire TO do jnstice-the
people cannot be trusted. The Government can
only control them and prevent the massacre oi
Christians by the presence of an arny=-a faithful
army. But when Christians rely upon the protec-
ton of Turkish army from the murderous Mos
lem, his case is sad one and hopeless. The Tnr-

scale he casts his weapons. The execution Of the
commanding officers proves the completely Of the
Turkish troops. What then is to be the future of
Syria, when Fuad and ishmaei Pasha depart, and
the six monthsi occupation of the French ID fin

Syria must be governed BY Eieeroy, whose
power and territory shall be governed by the Five
Powers. Abd-el- kader can preserve peace, and /
know Of no other Moslem but Fuad Pasha who can
control the country, obtain the confidence of the
Christians, and satisfy Europe that Syria may vet
be governed by Mohammedan.
In anotherlett the same correspondent writes
The General Admiral, that magnificent Russian
frigate, built in America, Is now lying before the
city, the admiration of all nautical men and the
wonder of the fleet. The Russians are exceedingly
great speed. Eight and ten miles an hour is cen
sidered as a very good gait for huge vessel Of
war, but the General Admiral skins the at the
rate Of fourteen miles per hour with perfect ease
J and is capable of more rapid propulsion through
the water, in of need, And what is still more
unusual with such vessels her capacity for carry
ing coal is immense, which is very great desid-
eratum in a steamship of war.
As we have no American vessels of war in this
great sea- with the exception of one sloop, of ar
at Naples, we are obliged to be proud OF this
frigate, as having been built in America, though,
must confess, that that pride would be consider
ably augmented If, instead of the Russian flag, the
stars and stripes waved at her mast head.
