Tho British troops have licen seriously harassed liy continual attacks from the hostile trills. who, iitit\vithetiiiid inji repeated repuls--, have rallied again ami again in great niniilit'is. Detachments of the Cape Ititl.-H at Maseru and Mul'ting have been surrounded hv the oucmy.and their situalion is becoming every day more critic il. Tlieir supplies of provisions is alniosi exhausted, and they have been ivdueed to the necessity of eating horseflesh. Tlie agrarian difficulties in Ireland are increasing;, and outrages of a very gross character are of frequent occurrence, particularly in the enmities of Galway ami Killni-ney.

o- | oilers of religious teachers. The ex :h ' pulsion of the Jesuits has been follows ic ' by the expulsion of Baruabites {an orde i- ■ nf monks engaged in instructing youth s. . relieving the sick, aud converting heretics] p. and also the Carmalites, or Friars, wb ia i rigi'ialiv claimed succession from th> " 1 N p .. t Ely ih <•,-•..1... r Is ' Prince Hohenlohe, nf Schiilinjjsfurst who w,u appointed German AiuUissadu at b'raneo in f is sintering fr..ni t v severe attack of gastric fever. I There is !rn-at dissatisfaction and bitte: disappointment throughout Greece at tin manner in which the Great IWers havi ;. allowed Turkey to be released from h-i u- obligation to "rectify the Tnrko-Greel v frontier. The Greek Press is unaniinou- :. i:. condemning the abandonment of i Srecei v and her int.-rest by the Powers, us a flagrant '., ■ breach of faith, and there is a general de,f sir.- to appeal to anus for satisfaction. The 0 Government of the kingdom communicated -. with the Powers on the subject, reprcsunv ti:i_- the injustice in.-i-.i- has Miti'ered ii tl.r.m.'ii the Powers not insisting upon . the fulfilment by Turkey of the requite- .. ir.ents in regard t.> the frontier question : ~ and it is intimated that, unless redress is ... afforded an appeal to arms on the pait ■, of Greece will be* necessary, in order to L - maintain the honour of the kingdom and i-, obtain its rights. A daring plot of a most formidable r- predatory character, litis been discovered i at Constantinople. A company ••!' ad- - ; venturous rascals had arianged to pillage i Woe bazaars of the city in the event of 1 ; war being made upon Turkey by the f jcomhiued Powers. The unexpected Set- - | tlement of the crisis, however, frustrated hall their plans, and led to the detection .- lof the plot. A very huge number of , poisons were engaged in tut; outrageous i enterprise, and over 1100 of them have

I already been arrested, including the ringi! leaders. Th;- uti'iiir litis caused great i\- . citement at StaroUml. Further arrests - ar- expected to be made.
