is threatened. The conspirators for the
overthrow Of Sultan Abdul Hamid and
and the accession of Murad, or some
body else, actually fixed one day last
week for the attempt, but fear of Rus
sian interference caused a change OF their
plans, and the conspirstcrs say they must
wait until the Russians 20. 1t is
difficult to say what would be the sttl-
tude of the Russians in case of revolu-
tion, but there is great danger that the
Russian and English troops would come
into collision. Ia such an event Eng.

permost in the counsels of the Sultan,
who between Lsysrd, the British EN-.
bassador pulling one way and the Rus

and all of the late ministers are against
the Sultan, and the people are sullen
and dlscontented. There have been
violent speeches made against the tax on

LONDON, May 6.-There was q long
and disultory discussion oyer the dis
patch of Indian troops in the House OF
Commons this evening.
Sir Geo. Campbell, who was formerly
Lieutenant. Governor of Bengal, declared
that some regiments which we're includ-
ed IN the expedtionsry force, were unfit
TO cope with the Europeans.
Sir Stafford NorLhcole remarked
that the House would have
a full opportunity of passing iudgmentson
the measure. When an estimate for the

creased difficulties in regard to transpor-
tation of troops. He adhered to the state
