Advices from Constantinople represent
that the Armenians, by large majority,
have decided not to recognize the author
ity of their Patriarch, for the reason that
he is too feeble to resist the encroachments
of the people of Rome on the rights of
the Eastern churches. The Turkish gov
eminent is disposed to support the Arme-
mans in their resolution, and fears are
entertaiued of schism between them and
Rome.
