ALARMING NEWS—THE WHOLE OF LEBANON IN ARMS, Accounts of an alarming nature have reached us from | Reyrout. The whole of the Lebanon is in arms. The dis. |putes which it would appear to have been for a long time | past the special object of the Maronite Kaimakan Emir Beshir | Achmet to foster, bave at length reached their culmination |The Druses have turned out en masse, an} a fierce civil war | between them and the Christians is being carried on. Neither the Turkish Govervor nor the Pasha in command of the troops appears to be able to arrest the work of destruction. The Druses, though very inferior in numbers, are more war- like than the Christian population, and they seem to be carrying all before them. They number about 15,000 fight- ing men in the Lebanony but, unless the Turkish authorities puta speedy stop to the outbreak, this force will no doubt |be largely augmented by the Druses of the Hawran. A g eat number of Maronite villages have been burut; Deis. _el-Kamar, the principal town of the Lebanon, is besieged by ‘the Druses, and there is reason to fear a fearful slaughter, should the place be taken before a sufficient force of Tuikish troops can be got up to relieve it. It is impossible at the present moment to place much reliance on the accounts which reach this place, but there has doubtless been considerable slaughter. Even if speedily quelled. the disturbances will have cost the country the whole of the harvest, inclu ling the ‘very valuable silk crop. At the best, all the horrors ot famine aud pestilence will be necessarily entailed,

Gray’s resolu:ions, but will have their Commission from the Queen, and there- fore they may trust that they will exercise their judgment to do what is right.

In the preface to Col. Gray's resolutions, he enumera‘es the grounds of complaint, namely, the Escheat Question, the Fishery Reserve Question, and the Quit Rent Question, | which be admits had unsettled the minds of the people ; bat as the Ministers in their despatches, and especially Sir K.

But still a Commissioner was to be appointed without power to enquire inte the case, or to /exercise his judgment in the matter, He was to be some- thing of @ go between.
