The Christian' population on the north shores of the Sea of Marmora arc becoming very discontented at the conduct of their deliverers, who have been behaving m a very disorderly manner. A letter trora Lady Strangford, who remained m bcnia | when the Russians entered, stated that tuo Bulgarians and Cossacks behaved m a most insulting manner. No food was sent to the hospital for live clays. The conduct of tho Russians in Roumauia is very arbitrary. Fresh troops are arriving daily at Jassy from Russia. Very contradictory aeccounts have been published oi the alleged hanging of four Polish surgeon:; at Sofia. All five were Austrian subjects—four fiom Cracow. Interpellations' have taken place on the subject in the Austrian Parliament, and the facts were denied by the Ministers, but Czarrouiski, the survivor, persists in the truth of his assertion. The news of pence being signed was re ceived with great rejoicings at St. Peters burg and other Russian towns. The English surgeons who taken prisoners by the Russians at Kamarh were shamefully"treated, compelled to march on foot for days, although bavins their own horses, and" were prodded with bayonets .0 make them move faster. They were insiii feocl by the Russians, both soldiers and o.nccrß, and only obtained their release through the interference of Colonel Blunt, the can,»m ;u Adrianople. They blame Genera I Gonrkoas the principal cause. The grand Duke Nicholas expressed greatiiidiguationat the:r treatment, and promised that the ofieuders should be punished. A .'--o-.i Telegrams from St Petersburg tluteu irftli hist, state that the public thsrdwere nnu-.li disturbed by the continued warlike prepara tions of England, and they believed Lorn Beaconsfield has resolved upon tne military occupation of some frontier in the fasten; Seas, such as Mityleiic, which could uo con verted into a second Gibraltar. _ _ Fifty thousand Russians are to remain in the new principality of liiikjariu tor two years until a national militia is organise--.

One thousand Cireassiaua nt Ley) out have committed various acts of ruihiauisni. The European community in Syria is in mi excited state. The Circassians and Baslu- Bazouks who'ifollowcd the retreating Tnrk ish army from thejjLom committed liornuli: atrocities. Hundreds of the inhabitants of Viza and other towns1 were massacred on the last days of January, and churches and houses burnt. Eight hundred Greek residents at St. George's, who took refuge in a cave, with the exception of 18 were all killed. CONTINENTAL. Paul de Cassangnac has fomght his 15th and 16th duels. The former was with M. Thompson, a deputy, whom he wounded iv the neck with his sword, and the latter was with L. Luudcrx, another deputy. This one was fought with pistols, and neither was Germany, which had hitherto refused to take part in the Paris Exhibition, is sending a collection of works, and 75,000 marks have been granted for expenses. Strikes have lately been so numerous in France that an inquiry is being instituted by Government into their origin. A new Customs Tariff Bill was issued in France on the 9th hist. A free-trade policy is advocated, and the reciprocity system de nounced as obsolute ahd mischievous. A split has taken place in the Right oi the French Senate. The Orleaiiisfcs are definitely accepting the Republic, in conse quence of an article written by'M. Itouhfort on the Conclav. The responsible editor has been sentenced to two months' imprison ment, and 3,000f. fine. The Crispi-Depreties Italian Ministry lias been broken up through adomestic scandal in connection with Signor Crispi, who repu diated his first wife 011 the grounds that the marriage had not been thoroughly legal, although .she has been presented at Court, and married again, in consequence of the great outcry, he resigned his scat 111 the Ministry. Signor Cairo]l, an opponent, was elected President of the Chamber, and on the resignation of the Minis! ry waa called upon to form a Government and has succeeded.

Scandals have come to light in connection with the management of French military prisons. The Shah of Persia, starte for Europe on the sth of April. A report from the secretary of the British Legation in Pekin describes the famine in the'northern provinces of China as equal to, if not greater in extent, than that lately ex perienced in Southern India. The American Senate has passed a bill authorising the Pandora to sail undur the American :flag in the new Arctic expedition fitted out by J. G. Bennett, and permitting United States noval officers to be detailed for service on board. The award in the fisheries case has been discussed in Congress. Mr Blaiue strongly opposed payment, alleging that the amount fixed was excessive, and the decision Jwas not unanimous. The general opinion was that the honour of the States required that the amount should be paid. Oliver Pain, who escaped with Etocheiort from New Caledonia, is stated to have been captured and shot by the Russians. A Jesuit preacher has been expelled from Spain for attacking the Government. Cardinal Franehi has succeeded Cardiua Simeoni as secretary of state, the latter becoming perfect of the Propaganda. The Pope was crowned in the Si^tine Chapel as Leo XIII. on the 3rd inst. Great reforms are being made in-the Vatican. All useless officials are being dispensed with, General Kauzlar, Minister of War, being one of the first to go. Pvigid economy is to be prac tised. The conduct of the Italian Government during the Conclave has been warmly ap plauded even by the .Ultamontane papers, and it is thought that a modus vivendi will soon be established between the new autho rity -at the Vatican and the Government at ■the Quirinal. The Archbishop of Irwin was ■charged by King Humbert with the mission of congratulating the Pope on his accession, :; and thanks were verbally expressed through the same intremediary. .Communications have been interchanged between the Pope and the Czar in reference to the Polish Catholics, and the latter is statsd to have announced his readiness to enter into nego tiations with the Vatican, and has sent a non-official representative there. The " Cologne Gazette " asserts that His Holi ness intends appointing Cardinal Lodo •chowiski to a post in the Vatican, so as to j ' pave the way for the appointment of a successor mare agreeable to Germany. Th Pope is stated by Koman papers to have offended the .i/ltramontane aristocracy in the capital by urging that the retention of the title of-.Senator of Rome in the present day is a farce. (EEUTBE'STEIiEGKAMS.) Sirßartlc Frcre has dismissed the Moiteno Ministry inconsequence of the latter insist ing upon the entire control of all local forces engaged against the Kaffirs, leaving only the regular'troops under the orders of. the general in. command.

The home Government appear anxious to set on foot some comprehensive scheme for colonial defence, particularly for colonial ports. For this" purpose a mixed eoomiittee of military -and* naval officers is to be appointed, and tluis may account for Sir Wm. Jervois's return' from South Australia on leave of absence.
