Peace in Syria.

--The Beirut correspondent of the Boston Traveller, writing Nov. 17th, says peace reigns in Syria, and the French army is about going into winter quarters. He adds:

‘ The brave Ismail Pasha (General Kemetty) was too good a man to retain the favor of the Turkish government, and after disarming the Druses in the vicinity of his headquarters, which act was not approved of by Fuad Pasha, he resigned his post, and retired to Latekeah in disgust. I believe he meditates leaving the Turkish empire and going to the United States of America, for which country and its government he has the highest admiration. Lady Dufferin, the mother of the British Commissioner, is spending the winter at Beirut. She will be better known in the United States as the writer of the "Irish Emigrant's Lament." Beirut will be quite gay, so far as the diplomatic body is concerned, but the great amount of suffering still existing in Syria, will continue to cast a deep gloom over us all.
