Three French steamers were off Latakia , Saida , and Acre , in order to restrain the inhabitants , who continued to display very hostile dispositions . " Orders have been given for the simultaneous embarcation of troops at Marseilles , Toulon , and Algiers , with the shortest possible delay . Two regiments from Chalons have just arrived at Toulon . The reserve squadron will be armed , the motives for which are stated to be the fresh exigencies of the service .

      Letters from Naples of the 21 st inst . announce that Garibaldi had left Palermo with from 8 , 000 to 10 , 000 volunteers . It was expected that Garibaldi would soon effect a landing on the Continent . The chiefs of the revolutionary movement at Naples had caused an illumination of the whole city to take place . Crowds of people shouted " Garibaldi for ever ! " in defiance of the Royalists . About ten of the late police agents had been killed . The evening edition of the official Weiner Zeitung publishes the following telegram , dated Pesth , July 21 : Last night a large crowd gathered before the Zrittig Coffee House .

The Druses and B edouins , in returning to Kaman (?) , passed through Damascus , and proposed a general massacre of the Christians to Abd-el Kader , who refused to countenance it . The inhabitants , however , became accomplices in the murder of the Christians . It is confirmed that some of the Turkish soldiers assisted the assaslrin * r ^ lTeft ^ 0 eWal 7 ^^ ties remained in the fortress .

      The Turkish reinforcements sent to Syria are said not to exceed 6 , men , as it is not possible to withdraw the troops from Roumelia on account of the agitation prevailing there . . Tlie Prussian Government has directed that in future all its military establishments are to be open to the inspection of any military officers of the other Gorman States .
