PARIS, May IS.-A letter to the Times
from Pera dated 18th instant says: "The
excitement caused by the Salonica affair has
not yet abated. A party Of Saftas yester-
day paraded the streets Of Gtamboul crying
Down with the Grand Vizier."
The same letter says: 60 The dedication OF
the new English church, which had been
arranged for, has been indefinitely post
poned ut the request of Mr.. Elliott, the
Minister Of Police on the possible conse-
quences OF the ceremony. The saftas have
been dissatisfied with Government ever
since the acceptance OF Count Andrassy's
note, which eYinced disposition to place
all religious denominations on an equal foot
ing. The first alarm felt here was occa-
stoned by n well-founded report that the
Saftas and Mussulman roughs who are ruled
by them were buying revolyers, daggers,
and other weapons. The Christians resort
ed to similar precautions. There is no
doubt meanwhile that all our speculations
on the peril that threatens us, and OF the
various means by which we may avert it,
contribute largely to foster and increase our
uneasiness, and become in themselves our
greatest and most real danger"
LONDON, May ia letter from Constan-
tinople to the Ne,cs dated the 18th instant
says the excitement during the past three
days has amounted to panic. The demand
for weapons, both by the Saitas and Chris
tians, is so great that most OF the
shops in Stamboul have sold out.
The Saitas-that sis, all persons at
tached to the Mosques in any capacity
whateyer-are practically masters OF the
situation. Yesterday great number Of
them demanded Of the Sultan the dismissal
OF the Grand Vizier and the Minister OF
War. The Sultan was induced by the
clamor OF the mob to demand
the resignation of the Grand Vizier.
Constantinople contains only 1000 regular
soldiers, the remainder being Realities and
recruits. In case of nm outbreak it is be-
lieved the latter would obey the Saitas. Two
or three murders OF Christians have oc-
Cured, which the police are trying to hush
up. Constantinoplc is in revolution.

ca is somewhat reassuring. The burial OF
