TION OF THE FOREIGN REPRESENTA-
TlVES-DANGERS OF CIVIL WAR.
BY the kindness of friend we have been favored
with the subjoned extract from private letter. da-
ted Constantinope, July 25th, from Rev DR.. Dwight
American missionary at Constantnople No man
has better opportunity of learning the exact truth.
Alter giving an account of the riot, which agrees
entirely with that of our own correspondent, pub
shed on Thursday, DR.. Dwight goes on to say:
Gas might be expected the representatives of the
foreign Protestant powers at the Porte greatly
aroused by those disgraceful scenes. meeting of
five of them held last Friday at the British
bassy, and a very jstrong note addressed by
them jointly to the Porte, making some demands
which can hardly fail of being complied with, and
which must make a noise here. The Porte have
just now officially informed Sdepan Efendi, the
head OF the native Professionals that is has come to
the decision to present to this community ground
tor separate cemeteries of their own, in three or
four different places around the capital.
g Much bitterness of feeling is now manifested
towards us, and toward our native brethren. We
cannot walk the streets without being insulted
The general state Of feeling here is nything but
satisfactory. The events that have occurred in
Lebanon and Damascus seem to be kindling up
inward fire in the hearts of Mussulmans and
Christians of this city. The outrageous proceedings
of the Armenians at the burying ground, so unlike
their former character, strongly suspected of
having had foreign instigation, and it is firmly
believed that the great object was to provoke the
Turks to fire upon the mob when the hue and cry
would be raised that Mussulman fanaticism had
Christians ?) in this capital would have started up
to revenge it which, of course, would have
brought general and terrible civil war in the
streets and houses of Constantnople.
"ln fact, reason enough on all sides to
apprehend that such thing may be brought on
every day. May the Lord avert it by his prov-
dence. One thing is becoming more and more
tain, namey that the real disturbers of the peace
in Turkey the so-caled Christians of the coun-
try. The Marontes of Lebanon first provoked the
Druses though the conduct Of the latter has been
such as to call forth the indignation of the whole
civilized world. The Armenians were the sole
of the dsgaceful scenes here and it has been
on all similar occasions heretofore. Our comfort
and our hope are that the Lord God Almighty
reigns. He will put all enemies under his feet
The ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.-In the House of Com
mons, August 6, Mr.. Berkeley asked the Chancellor
OF the Exchequer whether, in consequence of the
failure of the Atlantic Telegraph Company in their
attempt to lay down a submarine line to America
the agreement entered into between them and her
Majestys Government had not become void; and
whether the Government would be prepared to en-
terrain applications from other parties willing to
undertake the same enterprise, subject to the
dtiOns set forth in the report of the Select Com.
mittee on Packet and Telegraphic Contract, which
had been recently affirmed by the House.
The Chancellor of the Excbeouer said he was not
aware that the agreement with the Atlantic Tele
graph Company had become void in point of law
but it was certainly imperative, and might per-
haps be regarded as void for all practical purposes.
With reference to the latter part of his Hon.
friends question: he wished to state for fear of be-
ing misunderstood that there was nothing of an
exclusive character in the agreement with the COM
pany, and that it would have been competent for
the Government to enter into an agreement with
any other individuals in regard to the same subject
matter, even though the arrangement with the At
lantlc Telegraph Company mad taken practical eff
feet As to the willingness of the Government to
entertain applications from other parties willing to
undertake the same enterprise, he had reason to
lInat ipnS cd
Treasury, that any other parties would be willing
to enter into an agreement of nature similar to
that which was made with the Atlantic Telegraph
Comparatively, an agreement contingent
the actual success and efficiency of the line. He
did not say that the Government were not prepared
to entertain such applications, but at the same
time, what had taken place had its lessons for the
Government, and in the present state of enter
prlses connected with deep sea telegraph, and con
sidering the limited amount of success which had
attended them, it would be the duty of the Govern
ment to receive applications with great eau
tlon and not to accede to them except after ma
ture elaboration.
