1t is reported in Paris that the French Govern
ment has received q communication from st. Pc
tersburg expressing the desire of Russia to act in
accordance with France and England in the East.
The Russian Cabinet reiterates its opinion that
events are now preparing in the East which will
hold In suspense the peace of the world, and that
the very existence of Turkey is at stake.
The Paris Pays says that this would seem to inn
ply that more massacres are in contemplation
and that the excitors of the disturbances in Syria
have ramihcations in other parts of the Ottoman
territory, the events in Syria being only prelude
to formidable rising of the Ottoman population
against the Christians These sinister projects are
said to have long since been eoneocted by the fi-
natical eOnspirators.
Paris, July 2l.-Consular reports from Syria
state that the massacres which have taken place
are the result of conspiracy of the Mussulmans
The report had been spread among the Druses that
European diplomacy was about to drive away the
Turks from Europe. The Druses determined on
exterminating the Christians in Syria.
Eleven thousand French troops have gone to
Syria, and thirty-fve hundred English, and fleet
of ships were going.
The very Latest (Aug.7.)
All efforts to conclude an armistice with Carl
baldi having failed, preparations were being made
by the Neapolitans to repulse any attempt at an
invasion. improvements were being actively in
troduced in the royal army and navy.
1t was reported that the King of Naples had sent
4 200 soldiers to Reggie, opposite Messina and
those troops, it confidently asserted, intended
to- Join Garibaldi the moment he landed. He would
find impatient crowds awaiting his arrival at Ma
pies and Rome.
The first and thirteenth Neapolitan regiments
had mutinied in Calabria, and had raised the cry
of ' Viva Garibaldi.''
StOcco had disembarked with 1,500 volunteers,
and met with enthusiastic reception from the
people. Garibaldi was almost hourly expected.
The Galway Stea nship Line Broken mp.
The Africa brings the unwelcome news that the
Galway Steamship Line, which was supposed to
have commenced so auspieiously, and the steamers
of which were to make alternate trips from GaIwa
to Boston and New York, has been broken up, the
present English Government being hostile to the
mail contract made with the Company by Lord
Derby's Government The result of this hostility
has been the transfer of the mail contract to Aliens
Canadian line. The Galway steamers are hereafter
to make alternate trips with the Canadian steam
ers to Quebec via St. Johns. The I" Connaught,
which is advertised to return the 3lst inst, will
not repeat her visit here. Il will be q matter of
regret to the mercantile community that this enter
prise which promised so well is thus to be aban-
doned at the outset. 1t is stated that Mr.. Lever
and other gentlemen will shortly start another line
between New York and Galway, over which the
British Government will have no control.-N. Y.
