The correspondent suggest* the formation of a oity of refoge on all tbe ialanda near Constantinople, under the protection of a neutral flag and neutral guarantee from tbe belligerents.

Special to Enquirer-Sun.] London, August 12.—The military and politioal situation in the East ban been bo dearly defined in the paat week’s dis- patohes as to render a summary unneces sary. Freuob politios are beginning to take a leading plaoe in the view of western Europe. At Berliu a coup-d'etat in Franoe is be lieved probable, and it is also thought that a government established by a coup- d'etat would not be recognized by Ger many, notwithstanding profound peace prevails throughout France. The ultra conservative papers are urging the gov ernment to deolare martial law. There is a report, in faot, eurrent that the Cab inet have already resolved upon this step, and some journals discuss it in the light of a foregone oonduaion. Yesterday’s Universe said if the minis ters have really decided as alleged by five votes to four to proclaim a state of siege we shall highly approve of tbe measure. We ask for a state of siege that tbe eleotors may vote freely, and be nninfluenoed by the falsehood of tho Radical’s propaganda. The Universe believes an immediate proclamation of martial lew is rendered neoeasary by tbe lioense of tbe Radical newspapers which dare to talk of oivil war, unleaa their candidates obtain a ma jority at the approaching elections. Mon- signeur Depanloup’s newspaper, the De fense, says: It is natural to suppose that the Government may be forced to meet, by a atate of siege, he fierce and unconstitutional war tbe Radioals wage against it. Tbe 368 have inaugurated a veritable Govern ment and sooial crisis. The Constitution is formally attackod and tho Goveroment would be wrong, if it did not seek tbe means to defend itself. Tbe Committe of tbe Right publishes another appeal for foods to carry on their electoral work. They urge order-loving citizens to re spond, beoause tbe propoganda of the Right will promote the public welfare. DISSENSIONS DENIED.

Ex-Treasures Johnson of Honth Caro lina is paying back to tbe Chamberlain tax-payers the amounts be collected from them.

The Hampton tax ia 12 mills in all. The oontrast is the strongest possible argument iu favor of Demooratio government, and the small tax-payer feels tbe difference more sensi bly than tbe rich man. When a oolored man gets back from the ex-Treasurer $4 40, pays Mr. Haynesworth $2 40, aud puta $2 in hia pooket, he becomes con vinced, without any further reasoning, that things are improving.

After dwelling upon this point with great force, he said : “I oongratuiate yon that this grand deliverance ia in a large measure the work of the Demooratio party. It is a strange result that one party, in the very flush of viotory, should see its polioy peerisb ; and that the other, in the very moment of defeat, should be hold its principles enthroned in triumph. Recent events had demonstrated to tb* North that the South was no element of disturbance to tbe trauquility of the Amerioan republic, nor ot aubstraotion from iia security of strengtb; tbat thone- nude upon thousands of bunest patrtotio Republicans were now oonvinoed of this, aud were ready to make her people fall share.s in the benefits and blessings end the greatness and glory of that republio. At the bead of these, to his everlasting honor be It spoken, stands the present President of the United States, wbo, in tho dieoharge of his high duty as the President of tho whole people, has struok a blow for tbe restoration of the South to her position of equality whioh had vibra ted to the extremities of the Union, and had oarried oonsternatiou in the ranks of his party. This act of patriotism, justioe and po litioal intrepidity on his part merits the approbation and support of Southern men, and thia may be bestowed by Dem ocrats of the South standing solidly npon a platform of Demooratio principles, end without breaking our alliauoe with that great National party whioh has ao long stood, with unshaken constancy and fidel ity, by tbe rights of tbe South.” He did not believe that the Amerioan people are prepared to aooept the disbandment of tbe Democratic party. He here spoke of the prinoiplea of that party, whioh, be said, were imperishable and ware tbe essential elemeuts of every free government; of tbe number of its voters constituting a majority of the peo ple of the nation, and tbe extent of ita organization in every aeotion of the coun try. Nor did he believe tbat the poMjHoal events of tbe da; would justify the fflituth iu breaking up her unity. Questioia of constitutional law; tbe relations of the States to the Federal govarnment, and of the relation* ot the people of tbeir Btate government; would soon oeaae tb play any very con spicuous part in the iaauea of Amerioan politios. Questions of tariff, trade, com merce, ourrenoy and transportation would soon take their plaoes; were begin ning to engross tbe attention of tbe peo ple and will tax tbe intelleot of Amerioan statesmen. To the disoussion and settlemant of these questions the Southern statesman must contribute tbeir due share of study aud thought, or the South will never re gain her intellectual and moral preatiga in politioal affairs. She has already dem onstrated her oapaeity to rise above lha passions and prejudices of party when ita commands oonfliot with the safety of tha nation or the safety and peace of the oonntry. If tbe time should .ever oome —“may God forbid,” be said, “that if it ever shall"—when she shall be oalled upon to oh iose between her own looal interest* and tho welfare of the nation at large, ba believed tbat ahe would sustain her publlo men in subordinating the former to tha latter. Tbis is a fair outline of his re marks, which were greeted with applause throughout. A Wambling Ambassador. Khalil Fasba,' tho Turkish Ambassador at Paris, has just been recalled from his post beoause be was posted at a club for some $8,000 whioh he had lost at ecarte, and was unable to pay. He baa beeu one of tho most notorious oharaotera ot Pari sian high life, aud his adventures are quite legendary. He made his debut years ago as Khalil Bey, a kind of semi official agent of tbe Porte for matters financially and diplomatic. He then had a private income of some $250,000 a year. Tbe whole of bis fortune was squandered away in leas than fifteen years. When be was no longer able to live upon bis own meaus, tho Porte made a Pasba and an Ambassador of him, first at St. Peter- - burg and subsequently at Faria. He lost at tbe ltUHsiau capital sever d millions at ail sorts of gameH, and Mr. Labnnohere gives in the last nnniber of his Truth an interesting illustration of the kind of gambling whioh Khalil Pasha indulged in. “lie ouee saved ino from a heavy loss, and :b:s is why I take an interest in him. lie, a Russian,[and I sat down at a olub in St, Petersburg to bavo a quiet rubber. The Russians have a hideous devioe of playing with what they oall a zero, that ia to say zero ia added to tbe winning and losses, so tbat 10 stands 100, eto. 'Nous jonons avec le zero ?' said Khalil. Comme vous voulez,’ I said. When Khalit and the Russian bad won their dummies, I found to my horror, that, with tbe zero, I bad lost about £4,000. Then it oame to my turn take dummy. I bad won a game and my opponents bad won a game, and we were playing for the odd triok in tbe last game. If I failed to win it I should have lost about £8,000. Only two cards re mained iu baud. I had marked up six triekB, and my opponents five. Khalil had tbe lead; he bad the beat trump aud a thirteenth card. Tbe only other trump was iu the hands of the dummy. He had, therefore, only to play his trump, and then the thirteenth oard, to win the rubber, when he let drop tbe latter card, for his Sogers were of a very thumby description. Before he oould take it up, I pushed the dummy’s trump on it and claimed tho triok. The Russian howled. Kbalil howled. They said that this was sharp practice. I replied, tbat wh:st was esseutially a game of sharp practice, and that I was acting in aeoord- ancc with the rules. The lookera-on were appealed to, and, of oonrae, gave it iu cay favor. Thus did I make, or rather save, £8,000, against Russia and Turkey iu alli ance, through the fault of the Turk, aud it seems to me that tho poor Ottoman, dow that he ia at war with his ally of tbe oard table, is losing the game, muoh as Kbalil lost hia game of whist to me.” —A negro while stealing a ride ou tbe Central Railroad tme day last week fell under the oars at No. 10 and had a leg and arm broken.
