Within the last two days upwards of 6,000 Christian rayahs from BOsnia have taken refuge on the Austrian territory, flying from the Turks, who commit all sorts of viotence and  excesses. These unfortunate people state that between the 26th and 28th of June, more than 180 3 (meg Christian girls were carried off by Turkish soldiers, and that after this outrage the fanatics devastated churches and pillaged houses. The Chris- . tians, who were some time since disarmed by Other Pacha, defended themselves as they beat could with ploughshares, scythes, and pitchforks, and for a time they made a good face against their assailants, but on July 8 they were completely defeated and put to flight, with tbeir women and children. Our authorities received them kindly, and distributed • provisions among them." • The execution of the hattiehumaioun, as faras regards the recruitment meets with great opposition in the provinces of Bagdad. A letter from that city, of the 9th, in the Presse d'Orient, announces that in consequence of some manifestations which have taken place on that subject, Omer Pacha„ instead of being able to act, as he had hoped to do, aedinst the murderers of Jeddah, bysending a detachment of his _ troops to that point, has been obliged to keep them rear him, and to postpone his intended expedition. into the urdistan, in order to put an end to the. depredations of the tribe of Bari-Lam, who had revolted and pillaged the country in all directions within only about 45 miles of Bagdad. - A great number of farmers have taken refuge in Persia in order to escape the recruitment. Some partial en-' gagements had taken place bet Ween the troops of Omer Pacha and the insurgent 4- but the latter, who are about 15,000. strong, keep their ground, and, by adopting the Arab tactic of dispersing when sub. ject to attack, manage to escape the punishment which threatens them. IL is, however, feared that the revolt, by being joined by other:tribes, may become more formidable and call for fresh troop being sent by the Turkish Government.
