portant news reports
From the Levant Herald of july aud written
reports from the Turkish provinces we have the
following advices -
The official plan for the reconstruction OF Pera
is said to be on the point OF beng approved, il,
indeed, II has not already been decided upon.
The Phdre de BosphOre. little journal which
gets the credit of certain influential "inspiratiOns"
interchange of "notes" between the British and
Russian governments on the subject of the Mara
thon murders. The diplomatic usage Is not to
employ official "notes' under such circumstances,
and there Is reason to believe that no document
of the kind has been received from the Foreign
Office from Prince GortschakoH.
The Bdssiret publishes letter from Shumla
stating that there were rs 900 soldiers in camp
there. and that various military manGuvres are
practised daily.
The same paper In an article on the late fire in
Pera repudiates the imputation made in certain
quarters that the generosity shown by the Porte
tical interest, by wish to curry favor with Eu
rope. The Turkish journal is severe upon those
"who, under the impression that the government
Is bound TO relieve them, harass the authorities
equally terrible fire devastated Stamboul, on
which occasion thousands of Mussulman families
were ruined. But Europe was far from vouch-
safing to them the same charity that it has ex.
tended to the sufferers by the Pera fire, for whom
large European subscriptions have been made"
The Sourid publishes kilograms from Rashid
Pacha, the Governor General of Syria, describing
his proceedings against the refractory mountain
tribes."' He had established his base Of opera
tOns at Terdjano in the Beti-Chelef, a dependency
of I.attakia. All the tribes in the neighborhood d
had made their submission and given up their
arms. They had furnished their quota, also, to
the military contingent, and paid their allotted
share of the expenses Of the expedition, for which,
in return, they had received full pardon from the
government. The village of Chalha, however,
maintained its resistance, and the Governor Gen.
eral accompanied by Ali Pacha, general Of divi-
sion, and detachment Of troops mounted on
mules proceeded in person to subdue this village
situated in q strong position steep. The
roads, surrounded by dense forests, were almost
impossible to traverse, and it taxed all the energy
OF the troops to work their way to Chaha. As
soon rs the mountaineers found that the soldiers
were upon them they abandoned the village and
took refuge in the marshy grounds at the foot of
the rocks. The troops seized 900 sheep and 500
head of cattle, and Gas the village had, from its
position, become a very nest of disaffection and
brigandage, it was set fire to and destroyed"

are beginning to reach Broussa. During the

10000 okes. This year the disease among the
silkwOrms has not been serious as ii was last.
The 1dkrinli Vdhai publishes circular from
the Minister Of Commerce to the Governors Gene

sirable Turkey should send, aud that the Porte

mttee to his Excellency Caboui Pacha, Minister
of Commerce, with instructions to see that its sug.
gestions were carried into full effect.
The following local ite MS 10 Constautinople are
supplied by the journals of that city of July -
The viceroy of Egypt is expected this after
noon. We have reason to believe that his High
ness visit is the result of very urgent recon-
mendation addressed to him by Lord Clarendon,
only few days before the death OF the latter, at
the instance OF Sir II. Elliot, whose influence with
his Highness, though deservedly great, was not
of itself strong enough to induce him to venture
up. Since he is coming. however, it is to be pre-
sumed that he will be prepared with satisfactory
explanation Of toe armament still in progress of
the purchase OF 120 Calling nlltr0iNeuseS; of the
1000 Remington reecnoadcrs and the Ameri-
canization of the Egyptian army generally.

the new palace cf Tcheraghian and improving
the approaches.
report presented by the Board of Health
satisfactorily disproves the sensational exaggera-
tons OF some local papers as to the loss of life in
the late fire in Constantinople. The report il
based on returns received from all the "paro-
chial' authorities Of the various communities, ex-
cept the Mussulmans and Protestants-whose
loss, us Is known, was very tr6ing-and, nclud-
ing both the actual dead and missing of the whole,
the total loss so certified does not exceed $50.
telegram received from the Governor Gene
raj OF Syria reports very unfavoraby of the state
of the crops throughout that province. The fail
urc is nearly general in cereals Of all kinds and
the peasants are unable to repay the advances
made to them by the merchants.
AT Scutar Prince Nicholas sold to an English
man the steam yacht Silistria, which was present
ed to him by the Sultan. This affair, which to
say the least was characterized by very bad
taste, has been followed by disastrous results.

the steamer was wrecked close to Guernero, in
the Adriatic, and though the crew were saved she
was totally lost.

ton of all kinds were being sent from Cattaro to

to regret hereafter.
