MOSLEM ATEOCMES.  I The Daily News publishes a private letter from Bel. grade, from which we extract the following :—lt is with the hope of aroueing, some of the innate admiration which the British nation feels for ifravery mid enduemice, as well as its well.known symeathy for the di, tressed kilobit:tuts of an) despotic Government, that I hive carefully collected the followieg partial li,t of atrocities perpetrated by the Turks during the vast six weeks. These stitisties are official, and Mlle from the well-known parts of the provinces, where the Moslems are less bloodthirsty than in the recesses of the country, where their distance from the outside world enables them to perform their devilish work in security from its ever being known to the civilised world, and the people , of Engle ,d can only imagine what must be the state of atUrs to these interior localities', when tar atrocities herein mentioned have been perpetrated in the better known part: of the Turkish provinces. To begin, then : On the Bth of April, in the village of Bukoiritza, the Turks tn.:terml in cold blood Gorge Gamiteh and Paul Aradahitch, and threw their bodies into the River Boson. April 23: A merchant named John Strakitch, from Teshnia, near Doboya, killed and eat in pieces. April 25: Four Catholic peasants murdered near D.,baya. April 27 Niue the River Boma, in Duboi, Osinitu, the furry boatman, and Osman the Pants, Tovaunovieh, and Peter Btriegich murdered. April 28: Nearly all the ortholox Christians in .Travnik plundered and tualtreate I by Rolifs before the eyes of the Turkish Government official. In 01l Servia six Turks caught a Priest, and, after beating him severely, subjected him to sorb outrages that they rendered him a raving Innatic for life. Mukhtur Pie :ha, the commander of the Turks in Herzegovina, lured a Montenegrin, named Toricti Kavachevich, into his camp, and then cat off his head and sent it to Conatantireade to show that Montenegrins were in the battles oh, me he was defeated. This was done to palliate his defeat by the insurgents. From Bosnia we have particalars of the horrible treatment of the inhabitants of Ceruavada. They were collected together under pledges of safeguard, and then bound and carried off towards Kluich. On the way the Turks killed, after most shucking treatment, sixteen men at each bridge p tssial over. This was done by the Nixon, or regular troops. Tile solil...rs entered all the houses in this neighbourhmtil, and killed the proprietors, mutilated. the children in a horrible manner, and dishonoured the wotnen. The mer :bout Tergitch, from Novi, in Bosnia, who had fled to Austria, taunted on the promise of those 'reforms" that we beer no much about, and was murdered in the field of Vidorie by three Turks —Vur Stepileh, Gavro Prisau, and Ins. Shobat ; and an Austrian merchaut from Ragum, while returning to Kostaiesa, was also slaughtered in cold blood. Five Bashi-Bev:mks went to the house of a peasant named Pavitch, front Bitlera, and demanded dinner. After it was mistimed th,tte fiends murdered Pavitch, his wife, and children. Vasa Doshenovitch, in the Maiden district, hail his eyes put out, and was robbed of one thousand ducats. Women and children have arrived here in Belgrade with their hands cut off, and one Montenegrin reached here without his nose. But it is ' useless to go on with these records of barbarity. Mul-1 tiplication is only disgusting in such matters, and I have mentioned quite enough to satisfy any sane person that it is not diplomacy, lint c Ad steel and bullets that must ha left to deal wits these Moslems.
