Assassination in Syria.
Mr William Maggelssen, the American vice consul at Pierout, when driving in his carriage, was assassinated. America demands the immediate arrest and fullest punishment of the guilty, and the punishment of the authorities if guilty of dereliction of duty. The American European squadron proceeds to Levant unless their demands are satisfied.
The authorities at Washington intend to go to the same length as Russia, and claim an indemnity for Magelssen’a family equal to that Russia insisted on for Rostovsky’s widow accepting. The warship Brooklyn, from San Francisco, and the gunboat Machias have been ordered to Beyrant (a town on the coast of Syria.)
