SALONIC.k.  SALONICA, May 6.—The Consul of France and the Consul of Germany in this tawn have been assassinated by Milieu'mans. CoNse %errs:one, May 7 (Official).—The Porte has telegraphed the following account of the disturbances at Salonica to Musurus Pasha, the Turkish ambassador in London :—The Sublime Porte received the subjoined telegram yesterday evening from the Governor-General of Salor.ica : A young Christian village girl who had embraced Islamism, having arrived by railway at Salonica, some parties awaited her arrival at the station and proceeded to conduct her according to custom to the residence of the GovernorGeneral, when about la) persons whom the United States Consul had assembled made a rash at the girl, tore off her veil and mantle, and carrying her away by force, took her to the house of a Christian, thereby exasperating the Mussulmans who witnessed this scene of violence. Shortly afterwards the eye ted crowd marched en manse to the residence of the Governor to insist upon the young Mussulman being brought thither, and the people collected in a mosque awaiting her arrival. All the efforts both of the authorities and the leading inhabitants were powerless to control the crowd, which only the presence of the girl or the arrival of troops could succeed in dispersing. At this moment the Governor, having been informed that the Consuls of Germany and France had entered the mosque, which had been invaded by the crowd, immediately proceeded thither in person to induce the Consuls to leave and to calm the people ; but all his efforts were useless. As the young girl did not arrive, the populace wrenched the bars from the grating, and, thus provided with weapons, fell upon the Consuls. Though the Governor attempted by desperate efforts to shield them with his own person, he was unable to afford them protection, and they fell under the blows of their assailants. Shortly afterwards the troops which had arrived from the Ottoman stations and the hernias succeeded in dispersing the rioters. In a second telegram which arrived last night the Governor-General confirms the suppression of the rioting, and announces that as a measure of precaution sentinels and gendarmes have been placed in front of the Consulates and some other dwellings: that, in fine, order is restored and proceedings have commenced by the.arreet of the guilty parries. This painful event has deeply afflicted the Sublime Porte, which has resolved to chastise the authors of the crime promptly and with the greatest rigour. For this purpose two Imperial Commissioners, armed with full powers. leave for Saloniea. They are accompanied by delegates from the Emba.ssies of Germany and France. BERLIN, May B.—The murder of the German and French consuls at Salonica will, it is generally thought, be fatal to Turkey. It is conside,ed evident that the Porte has no longer power enough to protect Cs Christian subjects against an outbreak of fanaticism, and the interference of the Powers will, therefore, be unavoidable for the benefit of the Christians in the East. Mr. Henry Abbott was elected a consul of the German Empire in 1,71, and was highly esteemed at the Foreign Office. He beloaged to a most respectable English family, who have resided for many years at Sal onica. -- Standard. The Pall Mall Gazette correspondent at Berlin telegraphs yesterday that the German Government has accepted the offer of satisfaction mad, by the Porte for the Salonica reitrage, on the understanding that the promise given shall be carried into effect without delay, failing which the Government reserves its previous libery of action. CON'TANTIN,PLE, May B.—lt is officially declared that the abettors and authors of the assassinations at Salonica, to whatever class they belong, will receive exemplary chastisement as soon as the pending investigation has been brought to a termination.  In the Admiralty Court, on Tuesday, Sir Robert Phillimore delivered judgment in he action broug.h, by the owners of the Strathclyde against the Franconia, and declared that the Franconia was alone to blame for the collision.
