Tar Oranor Demousrxarion at ENNISKILLEN took place on the 12th of August, and seems to have passed oft without any breach of the | peace. Mr Thomas Steele, who volunteered his | services ona tuission of peace und conciliation, ar- | rived at Enniskillen on Monday, but the offer of the ** Head Pacificator” met with a very scurvy return, his presence at the meeting being most earnestly | deprecated by a deputation of Orange leaders, and the magistrates having, though not without great | difficulty, succeeded in persuading him to absent himse f The procession started a lit le after twelve | o'clock, consisting of 183 lodges, with bands play- | | ing the old party tunes, and binners, some of whi bore the inseription—** No Repeal—No Surrende! The meeting was held ina meadow brlonging to |P Dane, J. P, about a mie distant from the town. The proceedings commenced about three o’clock. when, itis ai “ the aggregate amount assembled on the hill was from twelve to fifteen thonsand,”"— Amongst them were the Countess of Enniskillen and other ladies, but the male aristocracy seems to have been very seanty. On the motion of the Rev. Mr Harst, Lord George Loftus, son of the | Marquis of Ely, was called to the chair. He de- | clared himself willing, “‘when the worst came to the | worst,” “to shed the lust drop of his blood for the Queen, Constitution, and Crown.” Samuel John- son, of Snow-hiil, in moving the first resolution, denounced “the concessions made for years to. the Popish party,” us atthe root of all the ‘evils of the country, and was seconded pretty much in the same strain by the Rev H. Hamilton, of Belmore Glebe olution, which was carried ununimously, was as fullows:—*That notwithstanding years of concession to Popery, this unfortunate country has only become the scene of increased »gitation, which Sur Robert Peel, being in his place in Parliament, expressed his inability to suppress, and in conse- quence the spirit of disaffection and disobedience to the laws having spread extensively even through this once peaceable county, to the great peril of our lives and fortunes,we are resolved, as the only means ot safety left to us in these pertious times, to re-organ- the system ot Orangeism.” Arthur Holmes, Grand Secretary of the Orangemen of Monaghan, in moving the second resolution,declared his conviction that the Orangemen of Monaghan and Fermanagh would be able to maintain their rights without the help of the Government. Wim. Dane, who second- ed the resolution,asked whether Government would dare to dismiss trom the commission of the peace Mr. Archdall, and one or two other magistrates who were preseat. “All England,” said he, “would give the answer—all Protestant England would declare, that this should not be done, and wonld rise and ex- pel from office the vile Ministry that would dare to do such an act” (Cheers) The resolution was us follows:—*That, deeply regretting the absence of many of the aristocracy,who should, in our opinion identify themselves with us in the great constitu- tional movement this day, we pledge ourselves to Generel Sir Herbert Tasflor. Of |have given articles, but without wrging anything new La Presse, however, which you may reco! leet I mentioned some time ago, had declared against the pretensions of America to the Oregon territory. now says that he has no doubt that it the Americrt Government be tirm,it will obtain every concession it may choose to demand from England; for, add- the Presse, England, so haughty to Europe, invaria- bly cedes everything to America that America in- sists upon having. ss No newspaper press in the world maintains ¢ higher, nor so high, a position asthe press of France Journalism here, indeed, is the bigh road to the most eminent oifices in the state, and to that dazzling pos- session which men prize so much—politieal power. The esteem in which 1t is regarded by the public, is, no doubt, owing, not alone to the talent it constantly tmanite ts, bat to the absence of personal sbuse. which is but too common in the newspapers of Ame- nica und England. A melaneholy exe ption, how- ever, to the courtesy which generally characterizes the conduet of journalists towards each other .has takeo place this week, on the part of the Globe and the Presse, both conservative organs. The Gf be has succeeded in wetting up a company for establishing a duly newspaper larger than has ever yet been seen in France ; and this has so annoyed che Presse. which dreads. no doubt, the rivalry, that it attacked itviolenily, From this attack, the editors of the Gilobe und the Presse got to personal abuse, valling each others swindlers and liars, and many other charming things. Ihave been inumately acquainted with the French press tor a long time, but I think i never knew two influential journals forget them- selves so fur as to use such vuigar slang. Apropos of newspapers—there are now before the public projects to establish new daily journals, to be called the Progress, the Gazette of eae, the World, the Swn, the Epoque, and 1 believe one or two others. It 1s difficult to conceive what hopes of success these journals can hope to have, for Paris already poxs«sses the following daily newspapers i— Le Jmurnal des Debats, La Presse. Constitution- nel, Le Commerce, La Gazette de France, La Quoti- dienne, La France, Le National, Le Globe, Le Charivari, Le Corsaire, Le Messager, La Patric La Gazette des Tribunaux, Le Droit, L* Univers, Le Siecle, Les Democratic Pacifigue, Le Courrier Francais, La Reforme, Le Moniteur Parisien, Lr Monitewr, (government organ,) and I should think about twice as many theatrical, musical, and minor publications. Surely with such an extensive supply tor daily reading, there is no need of new journals; and, for my purt, I cannot understand how peoole ean be so folish as to embark their mon +y in them, for every political party and section has already so meny representatives in the press, that no new jour- nal, take what side it wall, can have any very great chance of success. The latest arrivals from Cuba confirm the satis- factory intelligence previously received, that the Emperor of China has revoked the edicts against Chri-tisnity. To the French Ambassador is due the honor of having induced the great brother of the sun and moon, first cousin to all the stars, and uncle of the Green Dragon, to mitigate his severity to the Christian faith, and his paternal edicts which di- rected that the missionaries thereof should be chop ped into mincemeut, Letters lately received from Frenchmen, in China, represent that the govern- ment has fallen into great discredit with the majori ty of the nation for its ill success in the war with England—so much so, that its authority is so en- feebled that itcan with difficulty make itself obeyed Itis added, that the Emperor has become so very unpopular, that, if any pretender to the Crown were to start up, he would be deposed ; and it is aftirmed. that more than one influential government function- ary has offered, to the English authorities at Hong Kong, to start as a pretender to the Chinese throne, incase the English government would support him— an offer which, of course, the English authorities politely dectived. Lastly, itis asserted that the na tional exchequer 1s all but empty, and that the Em peror, notwithstanding his relationship with the heavenly bodies, cannot “raise the wind.” What truth there may be in all this I cannot say, but it 1s seriously stated in letters from Citina. The strike of the journeymen carrenters for an increase of wages, has not yet terminated, though supportat an election none who do not come for- ward and join our royal and venerated institution.” Mr. Henry G. Archdall,seconded by Mr. John John- son, Secretary of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ul- ster, moved the tollowing, which was also carried unanimously :—That we hereby repudiate the innu merable assertions so frequently made by the agita- tors of the Coneiliauion ball, that the Orangemen of Fermanagh are in any way friendly to the cause of repeal; and that we scout with contempt the sivice issued by the Repeal Associati n.”— Tne next resolution, which was proposed the Rev. Joha Frith, and seconded by Mr. Alexan- ler, District Secretary, was—“ That we consider the removal of Dr. Watson, one of the most res- pected and respectable resident country gentlemen to Ireland, from the office of deputy lieutenant a ustice of the peace, adespotie exercise of * arbitra- ry power’—a course not justified by law or war ranted by circumstances, and one eminently caleu- lated to insult Protestants, and afford a triumph t Pyyists” An address to the Crown, founded on ‘he resolutions, was afterwards edopted; and a reso- lution, denonneing the policy of the preseat Govern nent towards Ireland remained to be proposed Aud so ended th. threatened assemblage of 140,00€ ishting men The affair seems to hive oven a failure, so far x8 numbers were concerard The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Associ tien, on the 4th jastant, was presided over by > Mu psy. J. O’Counell read a letter trom his f thet fated at Derrynane Abbey, announcing, that th yand certain advent of repeal depends upoi the zeal and activity of the repenl wardens, and th pasty m~mbers of the Repeal Association & nt. Sixty members trom Coneiltation hall ne says, would convince the most siaggish and dul of the prople of Englrnd that the time was come fi fiscussing the terms of the rep-al, it being quite clear that the union onght not, and, morally speaking could not last longer; and, to eff-ct tnat end, he urges that the registry be most strictlyand persever ingly atrended to, and that preper candidates be ~elected as speedy as possible He al-o urges the Association to tike the most active means, b counsel and influence, to prevent the Catholics dat especially to caution all Repealers trom in- terfering in any way, and from, in any respect impeding the’ Orangemen in their) comin jemonstration. Between the Repeaters anc he Orangemen,” he savs, “there is no real caus: f quarrel, oreven of ditference. In Wexford, th: zreem arches across the roads were, in many instan ves, decorated with Orange lilies. Itis thus we car dest attain the repeal.” Mr. J. O’Connell heid torts at considerable length upon the usual topics, assail iog England, Sir R Peel, slavery, and the annexa- ion of Texas. A Mr Seott took up the endgels ir bebalf of America and slavery, principally, as. it ap peared, on account of the tunds. This again called up Mr J O*Oonnell, who said, “ What! A pallia- tion of slavery trom an Inshman! An Irishman daring, I will say, to talk of it as an ‘institution’ (Hear, hear! loud cheers, and marked sensation.) How dare he, I ask, tlk to us, as Irishmen anc Christians, of slavery as an insfitution,x—a dom ue institation, forsooth, to be tolerated in a eiviliz: land! (Hear, hear! and sensation.) How dare he come here and”’—— Mr. Scott— What! how dare | come here?” Mr. J. O’Connell —* Yes. how dare you come here for such a purpose? (Hear. hear.?) You have as good a right to coms here as Thave, but you have no right to cast reproach upon us for doing our daty to Christianity.” (Hear, hear and loud cheers and Sensation ). There was afte r- wards some warm discussion, the chairman deter- mining that the question o | American slavery was not before the meeting at all, and Mr. Scott insist ing upon being heard, declaring that he was as muct Parli | opposed to slavery as Mr. O'Connell himself, put protesting against the Association being made * the vehicle of a slanderous atiack upon the Americans.” timately peace wos restored by putting down the subiect, and the week’s rent was announced to be £267 178 11d. On the Ith, Dr. Drury, of London, presided. A letter from Mr. O'Connell, urging the appointment oi repeal wardens in every parish, and of a most active attention to the registry, was read. The object of the Hon. and learned gentleman is, that none but can- didates who are not only repealers, but members ot the association, shall be returned to Parliiment for ny borough or county in Ireland. ‘The principal orators of the day were Mr. John O'Connell and Captain Broderick, both of whom vehemently de- nounced the system of American slavery. ‘The week’s rent was announced to be £377 &s 3d. France. A declaration of war by Mexico against the Uni- ted States is the great point discusse: by the Pane papers. La Presse regards that act as a peurile de- menstration, calculates upon the support of Mexico by Great Britain, and recommends that France ob- serve the strictest neutrality. The other Opposition prints discuss the matter much in the same strain, The Journal des Débats, the great government or- gan, and the Globe, another government print, have, strange to say, made no comments on the matter; but all the other newspapers speak of it as agreai triumph to American diplomacy, and a great check to what they desiynate Briush atnbition They also complain very bitterly of the sad ré/e their own go- verniment has played iu the business; and the pro test against the ill-teeling towards the United Suites, exhibited by the instructions given to the French Minister in Texas, being considered us the general tweling of the notion. That the French Governinem hus made a very great and very serious blunder in the course it has pursued is undeniable; for, without rendering any service to Engliad in its opposition to annexation, it has given offence to the Govern ment and people of the United States Lam sur vrised that the aenteness of M. Guizot, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, should have been so grievously in faut. Annexation, regarded in 4 general way, is considered most advantag-ous tu the United Statve, und more pirticularly to Texas; but is feared that 11 may be injurious to European commerce. On the Oregon question several of the newspapers it is drawing to a close, many masters haviag been compelled to subin't to the demand of the workmen The trade generally, it is believed, will follow the example, Several workmen are in prison awaiting to be tried for coalition, in connexion with the strike. Coalition by the French law 1s severely pun- ished; and unfortunately the defiaition of it is such, that it is diflicn!t to say what is not coalition. : Feunimore Cooper’s latest novel, * Satanstoe,” is traaslated inte French, and is being published by daily fragments in the Constitutionnel. 1t has also been reprinted in English. All the newspapers of yesterday are occupied with the declaration of war made by Mexico against the United States, intelligence of which reached Paris the previous evening. They are pretty nearly unan- tmous in the opinion that the war, if war there be, wiil soon be terminated, the immense power of the United States Government enabling it to impose si- tence as soon as ever it pleases ou its diminutive ad belligose opponent. Even the Journal des Le- bats, which, asa Government organ, views the an wexation of Texas with any thing but favor, ssys— the ouly comment it_ makes on the matter—Dans tot ow se tronve le Mexique, vous ne croyons pas gud farile attacher une exiréme importance @ une celle ueclaratim. Tne Constitutionnel thinks uei- ner Mexico nor America can do great harm toeach ther, aud that the business will be setted atrer Mexico shall have seized afew American ves-el-, wid America sent a few bombs into Vera Cruz. The Presse couternmptuously desiguates the declaration oF varias a “tantaronade” that no oue can regard se- ioucly. Tae Commerre declares that war will be suividul to Mexico, and condemns the part taken by he French and Engli-h Governments in opposigon o the annexation of Texas. The Nutional, the r:- mublic_n organ, contends that America was pertect- y justified in accepting annexation, and that there- ore the denunciations of the Mexican Government, sa 1ts proclamations, are unfounded; itdeclares that tsngland has more interest in Mexico welt war but it ipon the United States than Mexico herself. jeclares that, not even with the assistance of and, can Mexico maintain a long campaign siecle und other journals entertain similar opinions Tne Globe, the organ of M. Guizot, is the only 1ewspaper that dues not go the sume length—it says hot though it does not think Mexico strong enough © prevent annexation by force, still it ean remain « naritune war which will be * funeste,” ‘fatiile,” to tue United States. “ fu private society the opinion is generally enter- tained that Mexica can do nothing,or about nothing The King and Royal Family are at the Chateau VEu, where the Princess of Sixe Coburg Gotha has oeen safely delivered of ason Louis Philippe’s daughter, the Princesse Clemen- ine, married to a young prince of Sexe Coburg ‘Gotha, cousin of Prince Albert of England, has late- y been delivered ofa son.

There is no pros- veet of his dynasty becoming extinct for want of heirs. France is making ve a 8 y rapid progress as 4 com- mercial nation, A recent official return shows a great inci case both in importations and exportations (a 1842, the amount of importations was, in round figures, 846 millions ; in 1843, 845 millions ; i 47 millions. Exportations in 1842, were 644 mil- tons ; in 1843, 687 millions; in 1844, 797 millions.— In mechanical inventions also she is * going a-head ata rapid rate, for, in 1836, brevets dinvention, or patents, were issued to 405 persous; whilst in one quarter alone of the present year the number accord- ed was 863. Spain, Our advices trom Madrid are of the 8th ult. Spite of all the opposition of the Munisters and the press, the Queen has gone to the Basque provin- ces; but Narvaez would not consent to this visit unl the physicians had declared that it was abso tutely necessary. So far, the visit has given rive to nothing remarkable. At St. Sebastian, where the Queen intends to make the longest stay, her Majes- ty will be visited by the Duc de Nemours and his Duchesse. The visit 1s said to be one of friendship; but no doubt the future Regent of France will make it serve any political purpose his father may have in view. The (Qieen will be back at Madrid by the middle of September. Whilst passing along the canal of Aragon, in following the Queen, the boat containing the Ministers got nearly swamped, whereby their Excellencies gota pleasant souse in the water. There are conepiracies, and rumours of conspira- racies, as usual. . Several arrests have been made, some of persons who have orcupied eminent civil and mulitary employment. At Malaga there has been an attempt at insurrection, but it was suppress- ed, notwithstanding it appeared that the conspiracy which far Tise to it was very formiduble. Itis be- lieved that we shall hear of it again before long. Ministers have dissolved the Senate by a decree inserted in the Gazette of the Sth. They have made a concession to Rome relative to the appointment of bishops, which has caused considerable dissatistac- tion, They have determined, it is suid, to establish a newspaper, to attack their opponents by the vilest defamation and slander. ‘They have adopted mea- sures for raisig taxes in certain provinces, which will undoubtedly give rise to great excitement, tf not to brenches of the peace ‘Phe mmeustires in them selves are not unjust, but they are illtamed.

The knotty question relative to the Jesuits has been discussed in the Diet, but, as was clearly fore- seen, without any result. The members of the Diet when elected, receive directions to vote in a parti- cular way, and therefore, every oue can foretell on «question of importance what the decision will be The debates on the Jesuits ure of no importance whatever; nothing having been said said that had uot been said before, times withoutnumber, By the constitution it is necessary that in the Diet there shall be a majority in any question of twelve states, but as that number was not obtained, nothing could be done respecting the Jesuits. , Switzerlind is in a most agitated state, notwith- standing public order is, generally speaking, estab- {shed and maintained. The exasperation that e: ists between the religious and the radical party is most intense, and there seems every probability that nothing less than fighting it out will put an end to it Alas, that fellow countrymen should bear such hos- tlity to each other as to be inclined to shed each other’s blood. oh bis a ‘With respect to the suicide or assassination of M.

The Zollverein is continuing its deliberations, and, according to what we hear, the discussions are both warm and long. The mmor States stick up lustily for high rotective duties, but Prussia is understood to be in favor of moderation. She has only one vote, the same as the most trumpery and insignificant State, but her influence is exceedingly great. Our King left here some days ago to eaperintend the preparations making on the banks of the Rhine tor the reception of the Queen of England. Next to the Queen’s visit ull the talk is about the inauguration of the statue of Beethoven at Konn Chere will be a series of gigantic concerts, in which ill the musical professors of all the nations of Europe will take part, and which will be attended by the most distinguished personages of Europe. Queen Victoria and the King of Prussia are expected to at- tend also. The people at Bonn are reaping a splen- did harvest, and they are fleecing your foolish coun- trymen in glorious style. % F ‘At Posen there have been serious troubles in con- aection with the new religion. Czerski, who is one of the prophets of the new faith, only escaped assas- sination by the furious mob, by the merest piece of good luck. The Catholic Archbishop is also in dis- grace with the government for the part he took in the matter. Commercial TREATY BETWEEN THE ZOLLVEREIN anD Sarpinia —A letter from Berlin, dated Augus: 3d, says :—‘* We expect in a few weeks the ratifica- ‘ion of a treaty of commerce between the Zollverein and the kingdom of Sardima, which is said to be very advantageous to both parties. Ships under the Sardinian flog laden with marble, silk, oil, and fruit, will shortly arrive in our ports, and we shal supply Sirdima with our manufactures, particularly hnen, Such a treaty was contemplated some years 1go, but 1s only now concluded through the able ne- ociation of Count Rossi, ambassador of the Sardi alan governmentto the court of Berlin. Procress oF THE RerorMaTion IN GerRMANY — Che most nopetul vecurrence for this remarkable eligious movement, in the eye of its triends, is the lecision ot Dr. Tneuier to separate trom tie Roma: vatholic Church. This event was hastened by the indiscretion ot Lanlussek, the divcesan vicar, who temanded an explanation, fir-t as to his intentions, ind secondly, of some views to which publicity war 4iven by the appearance of a reprintut Thenier’> works. The latter called »bout him his patron and sharch-wardens on the 17:h of Juue, and declares to them his resolution to lay down his office in the Romish Church, and to give immediate jutimation o that effect to the diocesan vicar. His suspension ind conditional excomunication followed, a8 a wat ter of course. ‘Thenier has the character of a good scholar, an able thevlogian, an exper! disputant, and a flieni writer. reaiage voluutarily laid dowa the richest vare in Silesia, he has had fortitude to refuse very *mpung offers from Berlin and Leipsic. He has tanounced his intention of remaining at present ir reslaw, regarding Silesia asthe cradle of the new reformation, whose prime mover he is suspected te e. Inan address of the Catholic reformers ot Breslaw, they declare their willingness to follow im aud Ronge under the Christian banner, trusting «the defence of the sword of the spirit. Aoother mouve said to operate on Theuier in staying iii Breslaw, is a resolution to resist excommunication ; he Bishop, Mons. de Diepenbrock, being, it is said, committed in a correspondence with Thenier, and hence afraid to provoke an expose The Reformed Catholic Church hold themselves deeply indebted to him for a “ liturgy and form of public worship” for their use. The solemnity of the tnass, he has divested of all superstitions and papai additions. te protesses to return to the model ot the first Christian churches, and is tor purging the worship of the German Cutholic church of all the pomp and glitter ot outward ceremonial. On this ground, splendid garments, burning of incense, signing themselves with the cross, genuflexions and other unmeaning ceremonies, as well as the worship of the host, are to be discontinued ; and while ali mysterious and magical influences are denied to mass, the ordinance of a preached gospel is to be restored to its place in public worship, after the read- ing of portions of Seripture in ihe German tougue The communion in both kinds is given back to the lauy, and the compulsory auricular confession abolished. ; Wide spread conviction of necessity of reform is spreading far and wida. Not only the pastors as- sembled at Radalfzell, on the 23d ot April, but a clergymen of the rural deanry of convention of Linggan, held at Salem on 27th March, declare it Atthe latter the following retorms were recognized : First—The re-introduction of diocesian synods, ac- cording to ancient ecclesiastical regulation. Seeond —Revision and suitable alteration of the Catho- lic worship Third—An improved syste of education for theolo- gical students, with special reference to the inculcation of a spi f Christian love, and the avoidance of a dix- torted devotee Fourth—The of the clergy. Dr. Sehreiber, the Professor in Freiburg, has been forbidden to lecture either in public or private, until his defection is decided upon ; and the question ix now pending whether Dr. Regenbreeht, in Breslaw, shall be dismissed from that university. Pomp and ceremony, processions und pilgrimages are the or der of the day with the popish purty, and every pos- sible device is used to furnish the masses with ob- jects of externul splendor, and imposing influence. The booksellers are reaping a golden harvest from the appearance of over 300 new works from Ronge, his abettors, and adversaries. Czersky and the apostolic Catholic congregations are still unrecon- ciled in regard to the Leipsic Confession of Faith, and itis feared that the new party will betore long be ranged ander different leaders, Poland. The Journal des Debats mentions the following from Cracow, of the 26h of July: “Count Po- badal the most powerful lord of Podolia, and whose ortune amounts to at least 60,000,000 florins (40, 000,000f ), has just been cast into one of the Gao geons of Kww, by order of the Emperor, where he ts kept in solitary coufinement. The Count, after being divorced from his first wite, married thy dwughter of an old soldier living at Kiew, who had no fortune. The fruit of this marriage Was an ouly son, heir to his immense wealth, Suddenly the countess denounced her husband to the Governor= General of Kiew, for having atempted to poison histon. The Governor reported the. circumstance to the Etnperor, and hence the present order for his mnfivement. In Russia, when the party wrested ts rich, and ean sueceed in gaining over the tribunals, the judicial proceedings are interminable, and not unfrequently last twenty or thirty years, 6o that Count Potocki may finish his days in a dungeon, sm. abrogation of the compulsory celibacy belote a definite fs ement ts come to. The Htnpes ror solicited the bs fesse to erase the Count’s name from thir liet, but the nobles, -after mature delibe- ration, humbly represented to his majesty that they could not dishonor one of their members before judgment had been passed ” Russia and Cireass! i j According to the last advices trom Circassia, Count Woronzoff had left Teflis to tke the com mind of a corps of army of 20,000 men, and mude » desperate attack against the insurgents The Grane Duke Constantine was expeeted at Constantinople from his excursion to the Archipelago.

Abdel Kader had evacuated the territory of Alge- ria,and retired with about 100 horsemen, to the south east, into a desert which neither belongs to Algeria nor Moroceo " The Duke de Isly left the camp of Airo-el- ‘ rba on the 25th ult , and proceeded against the tribe of the Bent Ouagenous, on whom he inflicted a severe chustisement. . Marshal Soult has found it ineumbent upon him to reprove the Governor General, who, on his part, has written somewhat insolent letters in justification ot his conduct. Rumors of the recal of the Governor-General have become so prevalent, that little doubt appears to be entertained of the intentions of the Minister of War on the subject. The news is of the usual character—crops have been destroyed, flocks seized, tribes put to flight; but Abd-el-Kader is as fur from b: ing taken, and Al- giers as tar from being trangnilized, as they were fifteen years ago. A recent letter describes the re turn of a troop of pilgrims fiom Mecca. All the people of the district turygd out co meet them in pro evssion, accompanied banners, presents, &@e — As they approached the pilgruns, they chaunted “O pilgrims to the chamber of God! Have you seen the prophet of God?” To which the pilgrims chaunted in reply, “ We have seen him, and we have left him at Mecca. He prays, fasts, makes his ablutions, and reads the holy books of God!” Tir ules were then embraced by their countrymen, and presents and hospitality pressed upon them The pilgrimage to Mecca ocenpies fifteen months, and is peculiarly dangerous from the great numbers of robbers on the route. It is only the most pious people who can reconcile themselves to make the sacrifices and submit to the hardships it occasions i Greece. Intelligence from Athens (July 19th) represent» the state of things in that country as very unsettle and exciting. The Chamber of Representatives has been discussing with great earnestness a new eccle- ical law, which has excited much ill blood,an: which is thought to trench materially on the authori of the king, and which will compel the presen minister of justice, who was once an ecclesiastic, to resign, inasmuch as the law provides that ) person once having taken epdaas or who may it any way be considered as forming part of the eccle- siastical body, can never take to any other prot sion or calling.” In the mean time an insurrectionar, has appeared among the military, at Nauplia, head ed by un officer in the artillery,who has recently re- turned to Greece from a French military school. A lieutenant andadozen non-commissioned officers have been arrested and sent to prison. The correspondent of the London Times says :— The present ministry holds on by main force— the Senate is in open opposition to it; and, notwith standing the immense bribery made use of, it cai command but a very feeble ‘majority in the Lower House, and public fee'ing is quite opposed to it; bur the ministry is warmly supported by the court, anc the French, Austrian and Bavarian ministers, while Russia keeps aloof; but, notwithstanding all its sup- porters, I doubt if it can stand long.

Our accounts from Constantinople of the 28th ult. state, that the negotiations pending at Erzeroum for the adjustment of the differences between Tur- key and Persia, were not Wee to be brought to speedy termination.

Syria. By letters from Belgrade of the 20th ultimo, we learn that the whole of Upper Albania was in a stat: of insurrection. The Seraskier, who had entereo the country with a considerable body of troops, hac been unexpectedly attacked at Pisren, on his marct to Jukouo. In revenge he burnt twenty-five Albu tian villages. Alter this terrible example, the Se- raskier assembled the principal Albanian chiefs a’ Jackouo, and insisted upon their laying down thei: ums, submitting, like all the other provinces of th empire. to recruitment for the army, and giving hos- tages for their fidelity. The chiefs refused compli nice, and called out all the warlike population of the mountains The Seraskter intends to make at- tacks upon the Albanians at several points, havio brought 3000 men frum Secroda, and being joined by a corps of Catholic Mirdites.
