From the London Times Correspondent. Avrexanpria, July 6th.—Before the present letter can reach England the telegraph will already have placed you in possession of the leading fasts connected with the recent outbreak at Jeddah, where Mahommedan fanaticism has enacted another tragedy. and has given the world a fresh instance of its cowardice and treachery. Her Majesty’s steamer Cyclops, lately sent to the Red Sea by the British Goverament, for the purpose of taking a series of deep sea soundings, had been lying for about a week in the harbor of Jeddah, whither she had conveyed as passengers from Suez, the English Acting Consul and his Freneh colleague. Nothing whatever has occurred to show thatthe people of the place were animated by an extraordinary . seutiment of hostility toward the Christian in. The officers of tig sieamer had made insult, and even onthe very evening of the outbreak several had been waiking about in the . bazars, uatil near sunset, without the least apparent symptom of the approaching storm, This was on the 15th ult. In the eveaing a few persons—Greek residents of the town. came swimming off to the ship, and stated that dis. that they feared a) conspiracy had been eatered into against the . Christian inhabitants, ; Everything, however, continued in appear. ance perfectly quiet; nota shot nor a cry was . heard, though the savage work had even then . already commenced; but the assassins bad taker . the precaution to use cold steel aloue.

Here is stillthe rural paradise of an. cient Greece, with its pure air, its sweet waters . its seclusion and peace—but, alas, the people! We overlooked long tracts of oak forests— nothing but oak—some ancient truuks, guarled aud hoary with a thousand years, and younger . woods covering the gently rounded knolls. The . moruiog was divinely clear and brilliant, but cold, with a thin sbeet of ice on standing water. north, and this as 1 rightly guessed, was the . water shed between the Alpheus and Earotas— the boundary of Sparta. Io the splendor of the day every feature of the landscape had its clearest form and its riebest coloring, and from the beds of daisy and corcus at our feet, to the . saowy pyramids of Tuygetus, high above us, . everything spoke of life and of spring. is a village called Lonknike, in a very wild po. sition, high up under the very crest of othe . . mouutai, wiiel supplies the Morea with phy. sicians.

It is not our purpose to recount the gallant achievements of young Laurens in the field, and heroic conduct at the Court of Louis the Sixteenth; but merely to allude to ——_—_—_— The Late Laurens Hamiliton. We find the following just and eloquent tribute to the memory of young Hamilton and to the honored nameshe bore, ia the Norfolk Southern Argus : There is an ancestral reminiscence suggested by the name of the grandson of Alexander Hamilton, who was recently drowned in James River, that we do not remember to have seen noticed in the papers of the North or of the South, And at this momvot when so many misguided fanatics and ultras exist in those great divisious of our country, it may not be inappropriate to recallit to the general recollection, The name of Laurens was dear to our fathers of the North and of the South, and is atill fragrant . with that patriotiam and chivalry which the living sous of South Carolivua may emulate, but cau never surpass, Jobn Laureus was the Bayard of the South, and young as he was when be met his untimely fate on the banks of the Combahee. he had already eclipsed the reputation of his father, whose presidency of Congress and long confinement in the Tower of London made revolutionary him couspicuous among our his still more one of the many incidents iu his life which connect him with Alexander Hamilton. Both had served ia the Northern army; both were members of fie family of Washington, and both were present at the siege of York, and were engaged in storming the two British redoubts, Hami!ton commanded the purty wh'ch attacked one of the redoubts, and La Fayette the other; . but such was (he impetuosity of Laurens, who was under the orders of La Fayette, that be received with his ewn hand the sword of the British commauder, The eownmon glory achieved by Hamilton and Laurens on iis ogcasion, was likely to attach them more than ever fo each other; and it was doubtless in: commemorntio: of this frieudsbip, sealed on Southern ground, word, gave the scenery a charming, wild and rural aspect. The bills the terraces, fell off took remarkable forms, showing regalac cones, pyramids and’ bastions, as they toward the river. ‘Toward evening we saw at taoce the white bouses of ancient Sparta, and presently some indseations of the ancient deposits of altavinm . most ] thatthe son of Alexander Hamilton child by the name of Laurens, ) that the youth was } the death of bis grandfather, It is mourofal to think that both } of mashood; ene on the banks of the Hudson, That } the other on the banks of the Combahee ernor of the Hedjaz, with a body ef about 800 Turkish troops. The crew of the steamer entreated their officers to be allawed to take vengeance upon the cily, if not by laying the place in ashes, at least hy ed to a population of 40,000; but the Kaimaken . sent repeated messages beseeching Capt. Pullen to desist from all interferenee, warning him that his own house was surrounded by infuriated fanatics clamoring for the surrender of the Christians who they kuew had obtained refuge in the house, and declaring that were a single being permitted to land, even though the risk j lat fiuding themselves. at most 200 mon, oppos. Will hereafter confine himsel! solely to the practice of . gun fired or one armed man landed from the . ship, not only the refugees, but also his own would, to a certainty, be sacrificed. This officer can doubtless not have yie without a struggle, and no other argument well merited doom, Even though it be granted that only a portion of tho inhabitants were j actually engaged in the massacre, none hada claim for pity where all had stood without stretching fortha finger to protect a handfull of inoffensive men and women lived among them relying upon their hospitality. Neither need the argument of the sanctity } of the Turkish flag have had any weight with the crew of a British vessel of war. That flag had failed to extend to their fellow Christians the protection upon which they had relied, and might well have been utterly disregarded. On the 20th Naamik Pasha arrived with his troops. aud some semblance of order was restored. Miss Eveillard and other rescued Europeaus were transferred on board the Cyclops. In spite of the opposition at first made by the Pasha, the erewand marines were afterward . landed with the British and French colors, and, escorted by a body of Turkish infantry, they were led to the newly made grave, over which the funeral service was read. and the English and French flags were rehwisted urdera ea lute of 22 guns. On the 24th the Cyclops sailed for Suez, where she arrived on the 3d, bringing . home 24 refugees. The namber murdered at! . Jeddah was 21, and at the present moment not . a Christian remains in the place. The Hadramaut merchants are said to have been the chief actors inthe onathreak. This raises the question whether cominercial jealonry may not bave acted ja the matter as corcomitant with Massulman bigotry ; but until faller perhaps idle to speculate by whom or how the outrage was iustigated.

Taere were great Uighters before Azamemnoa, and there are as brave men as Leovidas today. As for the raee of military savages whom Lycurgus—the nau of ice and ijrou—cdueated here, who would wish to restore them? The one virtue of the . Spartans—bravery—is always exaggerated, beciuse itis their ouly uoble trait.

It became apparent thathe was guiltless of the crime with which he had been charged, and had suffered for asin which he had never committed. A petitien, signed by the judge who bad passed sentence upon him, the jury whieh found him guilty, and sixty-six members of the Cuyahoga bar, and authenticated by the members of the Legislature from that county, was sent to the Governor, praying for a pardon for the eseaped convict, Here a difficulty arose.

Her Majesty’s steamer Cyclops, lately sent to the Red Sea by the British Goverament, for the purpose of taking a series of deep sea soundings, had been lying for about a week in the harbor of Jeddah, whither she had conveyed as passengers from Suez, the English Acting Consul and his Freneh colleague. Nothing whatever has occurred to show thatthe people of the place were animated by an extraordinary . seutiment of hostility toward the Christian in. The officers of tig sieamer had made insult, and even onthe very evening of the outbreak several had been waiking about in the . bazars, uatil near sunset, without the least apparent symptom of the approaching storm, This was on the 15th ult. In the eveaing a few persons—Greek residents of the town. came swimming off to the ship, and stated that dis. that they feared a) conspiracy had been eatered into against the .

It is not our purpose to recount the gallant achievements of young Laurens in the field, and heroic conduct at the Court of Louis the Sixteenth; but merely to allude to ——_—_—_— The Late Laurens Hamiliton. We find the following just and eloquent tribute to the memory of young Hamilton and to the honored nameshe bore, ia the Norfolk Southern Argus : There is an ancestral reminiscence suggested by the name of the grandson of Alexander Hamilton, who was recently drowned in James River, that we do not remember to have seen noticed in the papers of the North or of the South, And at this momvot when so many misguided fanatics and ultras exist in those great divisious of our country, it may not be inappropriate to recallit to the general recollection, The name of Laurens was dear to our fathers of the North and of the South, and is atill fragrant . with that patriotiam and chivalry which the living sous of South Carolivua may emulate, but cau never surpass, Jobn Laureus was the Bayard of the South, and young as he was when be met his untimely fate on the banks of the Combahee. he had already eclipsed the reputation of his father, whose presidency of Congress and long confinement in the Tower of London made revolutionary him couspicuous among our his still more one of the many incidents iu his life which connect him with Alexander Hamilton. Both had served ia the Northern army; both were members of fie family of Washington, and both were present at the siege of York, and were engaged in storming the two British redoubts, Hami!ton commanded the purty wh'ch attacked one of the redoubts, and La Fayette the other; . but such was (he impetuosity of Laurens, who was under the orders of La Fayette, that be received with his ewn hand the sword of the British commauder, The eownmon glory achieved by Hamilton and Laurens on iis ogcasion, was likely to attach them more than ever fo each other; and it was doubtless in: commemorntio: of this frieudsbip, sealed on Southern ground, word, gave the scenery a charming, wild and rural aspect. The bills the terraces, fell off took remarkable forms, showing regalac cones, pyramids and’ bastions, as they toward the river. ‘Toward evening we saw at taoce the white bouses of ancient Sparta, and presently some indseations of the ancient deposits of altavinm . most ] thatthe son of Alexander Hamilton child by the name of Laurens, ) that the youth was } the death of bis grandfather, It is mourofal to think that both } of mashood; ene on the banks of the Hudson, That } the other on the banks of the Combahee ernor of the Hedjaz, with a body ef about 800 Turkish troops. The crew of the steamer entreated their officers to be allawed to take vengeance upon the cily, if not by laying the place in ashes, at least hy ed to a population of 40,000; but the Kaimaken . sent repeated messages beseeching Capt. Pullen to desist from all interferenee, warning him that his own house was surrounded by infuriated fanatics clamoring for the surrender of the Christians who they kuew had obtained refuge in the house, and declaring that were a single being permitted to land, even though the risk j lat fiuding themselves. at most 200 mon, oppos. Will hereafter confine himsel! solely to the practice of . gun fired or one armed man landed from the . ship, not only the refugees, but also his own would, to a certainty, be sacrificed. This officer can doubtless not have yie without a struggle, and no other argument well merited doom, Even though it be granted that only a portion of tho inhabitants were j actually engaged in the massacre, none hada claim for pity where all had stood without stretching fortha finger to protect a handfull of inoffensive men and women lived among them relying upon their hospitality. Neither need the argument of the sanctity } of the Turkish flag have had any weight with the crew of a British vessel of war.
