{Evening Post, September 13.) Garibaldi offers to aid the Servians.—2s,ooo People Massacred in Cold Blood. — 1000 Children Sold as Slaves. — Horrible Out rages on Women — Tortures op the Middle Ages Revived. — England Likely to Occupy Egypt. — Wholesale Baby Murders in London.

London, August 16. The latest telegrams relative to the I position in Turkey show that the Servians bave been driven off Turkish territory into Servia, and were concentrated near AlexinUz, in Morava Valley, prepared (o resist the advance of the Turkish forces. Garibaldi has informed the Servians that he will endeavor to induce as many of his old followers as possible to help tbem in their war with Turkey. The Italian Government, however, decided to prevent the departure of Italian volunteers, whether their destination be the Turkish or Servian camp. The Times' correspondent writes : "The representatives of foreign Powers and especially the French ambassador,' are far fiom satisfied tbat justice lias beeu done iv the Saloaica affair. The eleven wretches who suffered capital punishment at Salonica were common malefactors, obnoxious to the Turkish populace, and scarcely worth the rope with which they were hanged} and of

the real instigators of the murders not one has beeu brought to trial, the Government not daring to rouse the Mahometans should it be known tbat only ooe drop of precious Mussulman blood had been spilt to atone for the blood of two Christian victims. In Bulgaria, on the contrary, the wholesale execution of men supposed to have been implicated in the abortive insurrection is incessant. Twelve of these wretches were hanged at Tartar Bazardie on the 20tb, two of whom were pvieats. With respect to the horrors of which that once flourishing province has been, and still is, the theatre, I beg to subjoin a letter written by a man on whose thorough information, on whose impartiality, and even loyal attachment to tbe Ottoman Empire, I have every reason to rely : — 'At least 25,000 unarmed and inoffensive people have been massacred io cold blood. According to the Turkish papers at Constantinople, tbe number is given at 40,000. More than 1000 Bulgarian children have been taken and sold as slaves, and have been sold publicly in the streets of Adrianople and Philipopolis. Horrible tortures of every description have been inflicted on thousands of those not murdered. Outrages upon women have been more

These out-' *<ra.ges are'all the more terrible because: V'th'o Bulgarian women have higher ideas! of virthe anil chastity than those of ! any other nation in the East. If the^ •Women of England' could know the ; 'tm facts, such a' cry of indujnatien' f would go up.as would arouse all Europe ! k tp'B6tion. At least 10,000 Bulgarians l nbw in prison, and are undergoing 5 toftures, many of them such as have j not been: known ih 'Europe since the I middle ages, andwhich were formerly! £dedared td be abolished in Turkey by the Sultan Abdul Medjid. Many thousand refugees are crowded in the larger towns, where they suffer all ' kinds of abuse from the Turkish population, and are starving to death i because the Bulgarians are not allowed ;.to help them.'"
