days after that we were sudden!y ordered to get up our steam with all speed, and found we were gong to rescue some poor wretches whohad escaped a fearful massacre at Deir-el- Kamar, and had managed to reach the seashore about 15 miles off. When we got to the place pointed out, we saw on some hills, about two miles off the beach, crowds of women and children huddled together, apparently in great distress, and we could not make out how it was they did not come dowa’ to the beach to be taken off. So the captain sent me ashors with all the boats to bring them off. I made all the boats lay off the surf, and then landed myself with an interpreter.

Romu- jus, who eppears to have been a sort of filibuster or Genera! Welker ia bis day, seized on the Capitoline hill, and estab- lished there the city we know ag Rome, which soon absorbed its more ancient sister into its ample circuit.

civilized world was subject to its sway, and the world became |

the ordis Romanus.

ceased to be a kingdom—struggling with the peoples who surrounded it, before it burst through the narrow enclosure of Italy, and absorbed the world. Waat was the

where, soon after, the greatest edifice of the ancient world was to be built for the same purpose, but to become also the glorious arena where the Christian martyrs expired in tor- ments before an infuriated populace, who regarded them as the enemies of the human race. The stupendous ruins of this amphitheatre—still the Collisseam—stand the grandest monumevt of Imperial Rome; but the blood-stained arena is now decorated with the stations of the Cross, and is tri- umphant over the ruins of Roman power.

While Rome is thus at the summit of its grandear—the most wonder‘ul creation of human power, energy, inte!li- gence and wickedness that the world ever saw or ever will see—the great Babylon, as St. John calls it—an humble way-worn traveller—one of the thousanls who every day pass in and out of the City—enters by one of the gates. He is unnoticed by the millions who throng the streets and public places. We may suppose that the sentinels on the gates did not notice the humble Syrian emigrant, who came, like thousands of others who sought their bread by labour in the City.

‘question was ably argued by the best men in the House, and |

‘no inferior was indiscreet enough to disturb this battle of the | _gisnts. Mr. Gladstone led the way in a speech of surpassing ' power,—cool, argumentative, and at times bitterly sarcastic, in | which he showed that the principle of free trade during the last twenty years had been applied to every great interest in the, ‘country and in the Colonmies,—to the West Indians, to the ' shipuwner, the corn grower, the silk weaver, and others, and | was now to be directed to the peper maker. He denied al- together that the paper maker depended on the foreign supply | of rags, but, if he did, the case was not altered, inasmuch as England had pursued her free trade policy irrespective of what other countries had done or intended todo. In the neutra! markets Mr. Gladstone proved that the English paper maker was more than a match for his French rival—in the Unned States and India for example ; and he exported a larger amount | of manufactured psper than the quantity of imported rags represented.

Tue coronation of the King and Queencof Norway took place on the 5.h imstant, in the Cathedral of Droathiein.

In foreign matters the affuirs of Sicily and Syria still hold

prominent interest in the public mind. In the House of Com- mons on the {0.h inst., Lord Join Russell, in reply toa ques- tion put by Mr. H Sherilen respédiing the expedityon 10 Syria, | stated that the marines had orders.to land for the purpose of | preventing massacres. bis Lordship also etited that he bad just learned that Paud Pacha hed arrested 400 of the most active of the murderers in the late Benes, and many of them had been executed. tle added that the troops at Damascus had shown great loyalty, and the authorities had afforded every facility in the way of restoring ofder. The energetic course pursued by Faud Pacha would soon, he thought, be the means uf giving the country pace once more.

The sccounts- relative to the destruction of the Christian popu'aton in Syria are sul! being received, and tiey depict a terribie state of carnage end bewtality on the port of the | Mahowedans. One of the writers, Dr. Thompson, sn Ameri- can missionary in Syria, declares that he hie witnessed six | cruel and devastating wars in thal country, ex'ending over six ‘or sever and twen'y years; but the worst of them were were | boys’ play compared with the scenes of slaughter that have been recently witnessed, The number of destitu'e he esti- mates at 75,000, including 10,000 widows. It appears that the previous record of the slaugiter in Damascus was far beluw the mark. I) that city the number destroyed is now | siated to be 5000, and the numer of houseless victims nearer 20,000 than 10,000. Of fugiives flocking into Beyrout the name ie ‘ legion,’’ and the most earnest entreaties are made to the charitable in this coun'ry for pecuniary aid under cir- | cumstances so appaling, and the call will not, we are sure, be made in vain, The sum of £2500 has aiready been transmitied to the relief committees established in Damascus and Beyrout, | but this sumis toia'ly insufficient to afford any adequate relief. Ihe Queen and the Prince Consort have placed their names at the head of the subscription, and in Paris the Emperor has subscribed £1000 and the Empress £400. Some of the great mercintile houses in London have alsu generously contribuied, / but the enormous extent of the destitution will swallow up much more than ts likely to be received, without a strong and continued exertion in every pirt of the country.

which he did not hesitate to use to gain his present high position, can command bat very smal! consideration for his Majesty's profess ons of peace, especially if he sees any prospect of playing a successful game at war :—

Sr. Croup, 25th July, 1860.

My Dear Persigny—Affairs appear to me to be so com-) plicated—thanks to the mistrust everywhere excited since

the war in Italy—that I write to you in the hope that a conversation in perfect frankness with Lord Palmerston will remedy the existing evil. Lord Palmerston knows me, and when | affirm a thing he will believe me. Well, you can

tell him from me in the most explicit mennor, that since the} peace of Villafranca I have had but one thought, one object

—to inaugurate a new era of peace, and to live on the best of terms with all my neighbours, and especially with Kog- land. 1 had renounced Sivcy and Nice ; the extraordinary additions to Pielmont alone caused we to resume the desire to see reunited to Fiance provinces essentially French. But

of women and children in a fearful state of distress, but no ;men; they hadall been killed. I was rece'ved jn great | State by the Druse chief, he and I sitting down and drinking | coffee, while all the smaller chiefs stood round uncovered. [ then told him I had come from my captain, to request him to allow the unfortunate women and children to embark on board of us without further molestation; that the Eng} ish liked the Druses, and admired their bravery, as long as they did not hurt women and children, but if they injured them they would make the English their enemies. The old Druse chief told me they never warred with women and children, and that he would be very happy to allow them to embark, ,and that the armed Dru-ea wich them were only for their |protection. Sol told him to send them al] down to the |beach at once. I was quite astonished to sce the number of them ; insteid of 200 or 300, as we heard there were, there were at least 1,500, and the mest horrible part was, there was hardly a man to be seen, or a boy over 12 years old; they had al! been massacred—husbands, brothers, and fethers, every one. We only had about eight boats, but these we began to load with al! despateh, every poor woman and child having to be carried through a tremendous surf to ithe boats. However, our blue jackets worked well and cheer- fally, only I must say that they very unfairly gave prefer- ence to the pretty girls, and when any old mother wanted to be carried off | was obliged to order some man personal!y to do it. Someof the women and children were badly wound- ed. They had been wounded while clinging 10 their hus- bands and fathers when they were kil'ed. As soon as a boat | Was loaded she was sent off 'o the ship, and the poor wretches stowed as close as they could lie on board, and then the | boat was sent back. After two hears’ hard work our decks were packed as close as_ possible, and we had room for no more. The gunboat was fall of fugitives from Sidon. Tue sun had set; the surf was increasing fast, and two or three of our boats had been pitched bettom up on the beach, and there were still 700 unfortunate women and children on the |beach with hardly a stitch of canvas_on, and that litt'e wet, all foot-sore, having travelled 80 miles the previous day, and some of them had not touched any food for two or three days. I sent for the Druse chief, and made him promise

of the Imperial Guard. Moreover, while wishing for peace, | me to take care of them until the morrow, when J said we

I desire also to organize the forces of the country on the! best possible footing, for, if foreigners have only seen the | bright side of the last war, I myself, close at hand, have |

_ witnessed the effvets, and [ wish to remedy them. Having)

said thus much, I have since Villafranea neither done. nor even thought, anything which could alarm any one. When)

| Lavalette started for Constantinople, the instrections which |

I gave him were confined to this: * Use every effort to maintain the status quo; the interest of France is that , Turkey should live as long as possible.” | Now, then, occur the massacres in Syria, and it is as-| beer that Tam very glad to find a new occasion of making a little war, or of playing a new part. Really, people give | me credit for very little common gense. If [ instantly pro- | posed an expedition, it was because my feelings were those | of the people which has put me at its head, and the intelli- | gence from Syria transported me with indignation. My first thought, nevertheless, was to come to an understanding

with England. What other interest than that of humanity |

When [ went on board | found almost every inch of deck co~ vered. We had 700 women and children on board, and only about a score of men who had escaped. It was the most dis« tressiug s'ght I ever saw or hope to see again, for now that the immeJiate fear of death was removed they began to feel con- scious of the full extent of their misfortuaes—houses burnt down ani all their male relations massacred, and they bezan ts scream, tear their hair off in handfulls, and beat their breasts in a most horrible manner. We did all we could to soothe them. Officers and men are al! vie‘nz with each other in feeding them and giving them clothes, &c. Next morning the gun bo»t was sent up, and brought dowa the remaining 700 that night.”
