lonica, to the Ottoman ambassador at Lon
don: The convert TO Mahometanism ar
rived at Salonica. The Mahometans pro-
ceeded TO conduct her, acco ding to custom,
TO the residence of the Governor General,
when about $50 persons, whom the Consul
of the United Sraes had assembled, rushed
at the convert, tore off her veil
and mantle, and carried her by
force to the house OF Christian. The
excited Musselmen then proceeded to the
Governors residence, and insisted that the
convert should be brought thither. The
Governor, hearing that the German and
French consuls had entered the Masgue,
which was invaded by crowd, went there
to induce the consuls to withdraw, 10 calm
the people. All his efforts were useless.
The populace wrenched the bars from the
grating, fell upon the consuls and struck
them down, in spite of the desperate efJrts
of the Governor to shield them with his
own person. The troops ultimately dis
persed the people. The Governor % Sa-
lonica teIegraphs that order has been re-
stored and the guilty parties arrested.
