Affairs in a Critical Condition.

| says II we are not mistaken the Englsh
ambassador at COrstantinOpls has in
| formed his govern nment that the sitUa-
ton Is critical; that q vialent outbreak,
! Of which the christians will become the
! victims, may occur at any moment
throughout Turkey, and even in Con-
stsntinople. We would not be surprised,
| therefore, if the English Mediterranean
| squadron was ordered Immediately to

| Crimean war.
The SaIOnica Massacre.

sgtated over the news from HerzegO-
vInis, and had assembled sveral times
| for the purpose of preparing for the mas
sacre Of christians. The French cOnsu.
late at Saloaica had been insulted seve-
raj times. Dispatches from Sslonica as
late as Sesterday evening say fresh dis.
| turbances are apprehended there and
the christians had closed their doors, the
military force being insufficient to re,
strain a mob.
