welorganized and wide spread conspiracy against
the Christian population of TIE Turkish Empire had
been organized, and that it actually going into
effect Of the Syrian massacres we have spoken
often. At length the Turkish Government has
begun to show some vigor in its attempts to put
an end to the dreadful war in that quarter We
shall soon know whether FUAD PASTA will punish eff
fectvely the ringleaders in this shocking affair If
he should inHict summary AMI prompt punishment
on the Governors and Sheiks who took part in the
massacre aud bring the Turkish officers to just
judgment for neglectng to protect the poor people
whom it their duty to shield from harm-mak-

may be that order will be restored in Syria. We
Rpprehend however, that before this is done, there
will be re-enacted the scenes of DER el Kamer and
Damascus, in the Christian quarters of Baalbec and
Aneppo, in the North, and Jafa, if not Jerusalem,

and Damascus Very serious apprehensions are
entertained for Smyrna; and Admiral MARTIN, the
Commander Of a large English fleet Of nine men-Of
war in the Levant has orders to furnish protection
to that city Indeed, it is doubtful whether COnstan
tinope itself will be tranquil much longer, if we
may Judge from some remarks which Lord STRAIT
