Po a rs3tr ,ur Nov. 25.—Royal salutes were fired from "the ships of war and garris.m on Monday, in honour of the iiappy-zr,coueeement of her Majesty. The Royal Standard floated. over the ships (which were otherwise decorated with a profus inn of fl.f.gs) and public establishments, and merry • ale from the bells enlivened the day. There was a 1 ) % s, 11 ",rnination in the evening. ' s is current that our Port Admiral, Sir Edward Codringte G. C. 13., is to have the vacant lucrative post of Gover nor of Greenwich Hospital.

We are informed through the medium of the Scottish Guy-than, that Thursday first has been fixed on as a day of thanksgiving throughout the bounds of the Synod of Glasgow and Ayr, for the late abundant harvest. How the thanksgist, is to be conducted, whether by sermoat in the evening, or by the cessation from la bour, and by sermons during the day, we are Oct in formed. Nor indeed do we care ; because we are cer tain it oil" be but little attended to in this quarter. " If the established clergy were very sincere in the affair, or if they really wanted the religious community to join them its such matters, they would consult the Dissen ters, and take them along with them. This, however, would, it appears be too much condescension, and how ever impotent their proclamation may be, or however partially their fast-day may be held, they would rather ressume the appebrance of having the right to dictate to the whole country. Also, if the clergy were sincere in their thanksgiving to Providence for the abundance of the harvest, they would not unite as they have done in restricting the people over whom they preside to the produce of our harvest at home, but would join them in claiming a porticipatian in the bounties of Providence, whether poured out on the plains of Poland, on the shores of the I.i: eels Sea, or amidst the boundless !crests of America. The clergy of the Church of Scotland have publicly pe titioned for the maintenance of the Corn-laws, arid last yoer Mr. Brewster narrowly escaped the - censure of his brethren of the Paisley Presbytery, when absent in London as a delegate for their repeal. After th!s, end after the manifest evils that appeAr around them, from the exiafence of the stervatioa laws, ereh what sinc , !rity can the people look on their prefessioes of thanksgiving for abundant harvests, vilien tbey mutely permit the continuance o: laws which 'eut out the produce of other harvests from the poor, rt the time our own harvests ere a failure, just as it Uod were-a iespret-er of persons, or as if be did rot as d,sf,rv e arlora,tion for the abundance poured out tn fi,ids of other climes, us on the fields of Eng- Lett!.

( From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion Peking, satins, velvets, levantines, and moires d'Orient foulards, are the materials now in demand, and the favourite colours are scabieuse, orange and black, and amethyst. Cloth dresses and redingotes are preparing in Paris ; they are made full in the skirt, with tight bodies and sleeves or namented with button!. Tight sleeves are becoming very general, of the Amadis form, with two seams ; the skirts arc very full round the waist; the corsages with three seams oontitue in favour; they are much improved by a triple row of buttons, which continue down the front of the skirt. Gimp trimmings are much worn. Cachemere dresses are ornamented with velvet buttons of the same colour. Chambery gauze is very fashionable for young ladies' dresses ; embroidered with silk, silver, or gold. The gui pure lace of large and heavy patterns is quite out of fa vour, but Brussels lace and blond have lout none of their value. Lace scarfs, both black and white, are very fashionable ; some are also of embroidered muslin, lined with pink gauze, and trimmed with lace. Mantilles of embroidered Jrgandy, with pagodas to match, form pretty additions to a silk dress. Plain cambric cellars, edged pith Valenciennes, are in favour; also the cols wusses, amazon, and cols a la Francaise. Bournoul, mantelets, chales manteaux, and mantes edged with velvet, and short manteaux of flannel with hood, &c. &c. arc all in demand now ; the most elegant are the manteaux crispin of velvet lined with white silk and trimmed with fur. Mantelets are made in Paris of tha long pelerine form, with points terminating with a tassel, trimmed all round with a ruche. Furs are much in demand from the boa to the trimming on the dress, and muffs inflated with air instead of being wadded are much approved. Straight scarfs of velvet, wadded and quilted in large checks, are very fashionable in Paris; the only trimming is a rich fringe at each end, or sometimes two or three rows of black lace. Velvet is the favourite material for bonnets, and black is preferred ; velours perle is also used, orna mented with flowers or fenther of the ,ninc c.o‘ou,-.---evr, potes of velvet mixed with satin hsve been introduced .in Paris, also capotes a coulisses of white velours epingle, and satin bonnets covered with a resille of twisted silk. Chenille is in favour for bonnet ornaments. Evening c , ,iffures partake much of the Oriental style. The hair is dressed higher than it has ktely been worn, and ringlets are shorter ; !vreaths a la Valliere, rosita, pompadour, and cerise arc fashionable. The head dresses composed of lace and flowers continue in favour; they are worn very back ward on the head. Coral continues to be worn in Paris, and ornaments arc made of it for the drapery and front of dresses. THE HON. IRISH SOCIETY AND THE BISHOP OF DERRY. ( From a Dublin Weekly paper.) The result of the recent important trial between the Irish Society and the Bishop of Derby has struck every one acquainted with the merits of the case with astonish ment. No person contemplated after the evidence produced and the charge of Lord Chief Justice Doherty ; that there would not be a verdict establishing the right of the Society to the presentation of the livings claimed by them. It was, therefore, altogether inexplicable, to witness a jury upon a case of this nature declaring that they were equally divided, and that it was quite impossible they should agree, and yet some hours afterwards coming into Court and pro. nouncing a unanimous verdict. Neither can we pass over the gratuity of twelve guineas volunteered by Mr. Stud. dart, the law agent of the Bishop, in open court, We are extremely pained at the result of this trial, because it de prives a body, who are undoubtedly among the best of Irish landlords, of a right which would have been exercised for the public good. To those acquainted with the Irish estates of the London Companies we need not speak their praise, as they are managed in a way worthy of the princely merchants of the " Queen of Cities ;" and it is only sufficient to say, that at the head of the parent Indy, the Hon. Irish Society, is one of the purest and most patriotic men in the land—the venerable and upright Sir Matthew Wood. MISSING STEAMERS AND SHIPS. The steam.packets Royal William and Royal George have arrived in the East India Docks from Margate, with nearly 6,000 chests of- tea, which were taken out of the Westminster, from Singapore. It will be remembered that this vessel and the Claudine, from Madras, were both driven on shore during the heavy gale on Sunday morning last about a mile to the eastward of Margate. The teas from the Westminster have received but little damage, and the cargo of the Claudine is being discharged in good con- ditien. SALCOMBE.—It is feared two - vessels are lost on the CORM', and that their crews have perished. On the arrival of the trains yesterday from Liverpool, at i the Euston-square station, the passengers were beset with persons making inquiries about the President. The loss of this ship will, indeed, be a fearful calamity bath as re. garda the destruction of life and property ; but she ought riot to be yet given up, for there is a probability of the norm havi,g driven'her into acme distant port. Tire name or destination of t'ne steam-vessel sunk on the eastern part of Marga•.e Strfs has not been ascertained, although it I , is certain one has gone down. It has been reported by many captains that the tunnel of the teasel seen above water was a whits one, and as the fun:mho the St. George's &earn ; eacket Con , p..ny's vessels are cif that colour, it is :.u.p -1 1 ,05.. ti that one of .heir large boats has suffered on the so; - age bytween London and Cork. The powerful and sp!endid steam-ship City of Londonderry, chartered by the owners of the late Phenix steamer, sunk by a collision with the Britannia, was named last tight as the missing. vessel. The Citt of Londonderry Lit the river fur Havre on Saturday last, heavily laden, and the agents have since Neel; ed edviccs announcing her arrival, at Havre on Monday morning. She was to kave that !ace for London on Tuesday, and is expected early this morning..

SYRIAN PORTS. In the Colonial Magazine, for November there is an :teresting account of the commercial resources and sta• istics of Spin, ffiorn 'which we subjoin the following ac 7ount of its ports : •• Ancient history is replete with the importance of the ports of Syria. Tyre and Sidon are now choked up, and offer no security to shippinz ; Tripoli and Latakia, of more modern note, have ceaied to be fee- Taeateil. B yrout and Scanderoon, or Alexandretta, are new the principal harbours of export and import ; :Ito former providing for the - supply of Damascus and Palestine—the latter for that of Antioch, Aleppo, and Northern Syria. Modern Beyrout stands on the site of the ancient Berytus, a colony of Sidon, founded at a period of remote antiquity. Berytus, became a Roman colony under Augustus, and , was one of th e :nest beautiful c iti es o f Pbcenicia. It was destroyed by au earthquake in 566, but was rebuilt, and fell into the hands of the Saracens. Tile city was re-captured by Baldwin, King of Jerusalem, and was afterwards taken from the Christians by Saladin ; and subse quently it several times changed hands, according to the success of the crusaders or their enemies. It be came eventually the re , .idence of the Emir F.skir.el- Din, Prince of the Druses, who was killed there, :when ineffectually attempting to defend his country against Sultan Amurath IV., and from that period Beyrout has remained a part of the Ottoman cmpire. The manufacture of glass is said to have been invented at Beyrout. The modern town is threatened with a &stressing fate by the accumulations of minute sand, which is gradually advancing towards it from the south, at the rate of about thirty yards per annum. " Beyrout is the most flourishing part in Syria ; the harbour is bad, or is, more strictly speaking, a dangerous roadstead : in the winter, vessels anchor at the mouth of the river Nahr-el-Kelb. Indeed, the only port in Syria which is really entitled to that name, is Scande roots, which is an extensive natural harbour, and safe for any number of vessels of any size—but it is unimproved by art ; and the unhealthiness of the town, which is situated in a marsh, whose pernicious exhalations are I confined to the plain by the mountains of Taurus which rise behind it, keep down its population to a most incon ,iderable number of inhabitants. A project for carry ing off the stagnant waters, and thus giving to the place the chances of future commercial revival, had, however, been adopted by Ibrahim Pacha." DUTCH MAIL. THE HAGUE, Nov. 24.—The Sections of the Second Chamber have examined the budget of ways and means proposed to meet the necessary expenditure. The ad dition of ten per cent. to many taxes has called forth many objections. It is observed that the principal ne cessaries of life ought not to be taxed any higher.

BRUSSZLS, Nov. 25.—We have announced the subscription opened by the English residents in Belgium for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations in France. We are happy to learn that that subscription has been very successful. The Rev. Mr. Drury, our English Clergyman, preached a sermon in the chapel of the French Protestant Church, where Divine service is performed at present according to the rites of the Anglican Church. His sermon produced a great effect on the congregation. He endea. voured to prove that the difference of nationality ought not to be a reason for remaining insensible to such misfortunes, and that he was happy to show on the contrary, and in the present political cir cumstances, that the English sincerely pity the misfortunes which had befallen part of the people of France. position ,but await the resolutions of the Powers; and he recommend ed them in the mean time not to promote in any way theconcluSion 0 a direct agreement, because it would place France In a state o antagonisms with England, which it was well to avoid. On the of April those agents acknowledged the receipt of the instructir us, and said they would conform to them, and :11. Cochelet even ach el bringing as indulging to the about such an arrange.that such a negotiation offered no chance of success, as Meh en g m A e li n. hadt M. exhausted fThiers t every hend m es e c a r n ib s e o d f last the hope of bringing over the Conference to the views of France. He wrote on the 17th of April that he was gaining ground; that Lord Palmerston felt the danger of separating from France; that the Members of Parliament friendly to the Cabinet saw the danger of concluding the treaty between four Powers— , Prussia and Austria also reluctantly seceded from her, because the insurrection in Syria had failed ; they could not see how th e P ac h a could be coerced without her ; and finally, that P russ i a an d Austr i a were at the time of opinion to grant the Pach a th e h ere di. tary Government of Egypt and Syria. M. Thiers never held out to the Pacha any hopes or promises of support. On the sth of May the negotiators, in accord with Lord Palmerston, notified to M. Guizot their resolution only to concede hereditary Egypt and the life possession of the Pachalic of Acre, with the fortress. M. Guizot was quite astounded at the proposi tion. On June 14, however, he wrote to M. fillers that the nego tiators again entertained the idea of granting Syria for life, and added that if, after they had. prevailed on Lord Palmerston to ac cede to it, France did not subscribe to the a rrangement, the Powers would most certainly break off with her. M. Thiers could not accede to these terms. The Consul of England, Mr. Hodges, had irritated the Pacha to such a degree, that the latter had declared he would not give up Adana, and would order his son to cross the Taurus. Under these circumstances, he conceived that such a proposition would be badly received; he, however, sent an agent to Alexandria to see if he could be brought to such a concession ; but he (M. Thiers) could not think of signing the Treaty, since he should have been obliged to concur in the coercive measures against Mehe met Ali. It was true that after the arrival of the Turkish Envoy at London M. Guizot had written that the Councils had been re.. sumed with fresh vigour, and that if the Pacha did not accept Syria for life, he w ou ld i n all probability l ose all. " I think,,, continued M. Thiers, " th a t it was dangerou s to abandon the heir.. dom of Syria at on ce, w ith o ut having obt a i ned any engagement from Lord Palmer s t on w ith regard to the lif e possession of Syria. " I wrote thus to M. Guizot Make no defi n i te enlargements. I have despatched an Envoy to the Viceroy in order to sound him. If they insist on a decision, answer them ad referendam. —(Mur murs.) This wasuot a refusal.—(Fresh murmurs.) The Viceroy Was overjoyed at the offer, and threw himself into the arms of M. Cochelet. He told him that for the life possession of Syria he would give up the fleet, and would submit. This is what was milled at London an effort of France to bring about a direct arrange ment.--(Murmurs.) I sent M. Perier to the Pacha, not to confirm him in his determination to give up the fleet, but to inform him that if he once gave his promise to do se, he must keep his word. (Fresh murmurs.) I feel convinced that this step was not the cause of the treaty of July 15.—(Murmurs.) It might have caused some umbrage at London ; but when M. Guizot affirmed there that France had not attempted to bring about an arrangement, he ought to have ken believed.—(Hcar, hear.) He ought to have been be. lieved, not only only on account of his high character, but also as the organ of the Government. There has been no intrigue or manceuvre. But France has Seen grossly duped : a pretext has been sought and found to break off her alliance. A treaty was made without her knowledge and consent. Ido not accuse the English people. Ido not accuse the English Cabinet ; but 1 do accuse one man, and that man is Lord Palmerston." We have received the followingeommunication in a letter from Toulon of the 20th Nov.:—" The squadron, which has completed its quarantine today is expected every moment. A telegraphic despatch directs orders to be given for the ships to lay in a fresh stock of provisions that they may be ready to put to sea again at the first signal. The Ministerial journal, the Jfessager, says "the Courrier Fran cais, which says that the absence of the French fleet had faralized the courage of those who reckoned on our protection, ought to recol. lect that the taking of St. Jean d'Acre must have taken place at the beginning of November, and that the Cabinet of 29th Oc. tober cannot be answerable for what passed at that time in the East. The Courrier Francais ought to call to account the Cabinet of the Ist of March, which it has so warmly supported. The answer might be good addressed to the defenders of M. Thiers, but then the new Cabinet should not have announced as the principal points of its programme the abandonment of all our foreign interests.— Lc Commerce. CAPTURE OF ST. JEAN IYACRE FULL PARTICULARS. An extraordinary express from Marseilles has brough us advices from Malta to the 16th instant, and full detail of the fall, after three hours' bombardment, of the import. ant fortress of St. Jean d'Acre, ALT, Nov. 13. The Phoenix war steamer arr i ved yesterday ern efternoon, bring in. the important intelligence of the taking of St. Jean d'Acre, which place she left on the 6th inst., and after cooling here, proceeds to England with Sir Robert Stopford's despatches to the Admiralty. • On the 24th of October Admiral Walker Bey (now we be lieve a Pacha) left Berout, in company with the Talbot, for St: Jean d'Acre, which place they reached at eleven Pew. They hoie to until the morning of the 25th of October, when they were joined by the - Thunderer, Re venge , Pi que, Gorgon, and Phceeix. .At ten Admiral Walker hoisted a flag of truce, and Stood in With the Gorgon, the rest of the ships remaining in the offing to join when called upon by him so to do. On nearing he embarked on board the Ger gon, steamed clo!e in, and repaired in person to summon the town and foi•tress to surrender, but the boat was ordered away, and the letter containing the demard to surrender was refused to be received. Admiral Walker then proceeded in the Gorgon to consult Sir Robert Stopford on the expediency of storming the town. The Admirals met off Sidon, when Sir it. Stop ord determined upon postponin g further operations, sod recalled the Ilriti,h force off Acre. Admiral Walker, rt?t aoi. lt , ether pleased :tt this movement a f ter his summons, ga.- enemy. lie acco r di ng ly run his flag-ship in right und er th e Sanity determined u p on s t lot ti ng i n alone and braving the fortresses, and fired a broadside; but notwithstanding some two hundred guns might have opened their fire, not a shot was fired. 'lbis unaccountable circumstance somewhat pealed the Gallant Admiral, who feeling unwilling to fire again un less the enemy returned the compliment, stood off for a while, then in the afterncem stood in again, and even closer than the morning, but still the fortifications remained silent. The Talbot now came to an anchor and sent in her boats to sound, but although they approached within musket range. still not a shot was fired at them, which can only be accounted for by a respect which, even as an enemy, the Egyptians appear dis posee to manifest towards the Sultan's flag, for every English vessel whiter has passed• Within the range, when unaccompanied by or not close to an Ottoman ship -of-war, has been fired at without ceremony When it is considered how difficult it is to manoeuvre a ship of the line manned ny Turkish seamen under such frowning batteries as those of St. Jean d'Acre, which were well calcu lated to infuse terror in men of stronger nerve and courage, the eonduct of Admiral Walker Pey cannot be too much lauded. Oil the 2,1 of November, late in the afternoon, Admiral Sir Robert Stanf or d i n the Princess Charl otte, with the Powerful. Bellerophon, Thunderer, Edinburgh, B en b ow, Revenge, Gor g' Wasp ; Admiral nix'S trian Admi ra l Ha n diera in the Mede a frigate with the Guer dere, and a Corvette of the same nation, arrived off Acre. On the al the wind being unfavourable, th e sh i ps of the Allies re trom b w oli a and , Vesuvius, C astor, Carysfort, Hazard, iker, in his 74 gun-ship, and the Aus manned at anchor in the Bay, leaving the steamers only in activity, amusing themselves at throwing shells into the fortifi eations. Soon after noon,. a light sea breeze set in, when the fleet got under weigh, and at about one r. et. bore up for the town, in two different directions : those destined to engage the sea face were the Princess Charlotte, Power ful, Bellerophon, Thunderer, a n d Pique, the Powerful leading, and immediately following the Princess Charlotte, and Bellerophon. On the other angle, the Benbow led in Admiral Walker's flag-ship, but the Castor got a- head of both, the rest of the vessels taking up positions as most convenient, and likely to do the greatest mischief. Shortly after 2 P.m. the batteries opened their fire upon the Castor, which the Pow ful returned, as she stood in, from her bow guns and as soon as she anch ore d and got her broadside to bear, the gallant Corn modore set to work in style, and so did the Princess Charlotte and Bellerophon. In a few minutes all the other ships joined, and the action became general, throwing outside with astonish ing rapidity and effect their shells, over the ships, i the for- tifications. S uc h cannona di ng was never before hnto eard, and most certainly on no occasion on record were less shots wasted. The firing • was truly admirable, the Bellerophoe's palarl 50, and e very shot told. The Princess Charlotte alone fired y .luring the three hours which the action lasted .4,508 shots, or one broadside repeated every two minutes for 86 times. • Sir Robert Stopford remained throughout the greater part of the action on board the Phoenix steamer, which being to windward enabled him the better to watch and direct the ope • rations of the fleet, which owing to the dense smoke he could not well do on board of the flag-ship. At about 4 rem. a sensation was felt on board the ships simi lar to that of an earthquake, which was subsequently ascertained to have been a tremendous explosion (no doubt from one of the steamers' shells,) of a powder magazine ashore, launching into eternity no less than 1,200 of the enemy. At a little after 5, es the evening drew in, the fire of the batteries began to slacken, trem, (as it has been since ascertained) the inability of the enemy to sit hat their guns, many of which were dismounted, and the embrasuresand knocked about the heads of those works who mann d them- At dark, the firing ceased on both sides, and it was general!

On the known to be strong, was found even still more se than what aee eVas _ri conceived, and thanks may be re turned to the Almi 6 gety, that e t e hi e s stronghold of the enemy has nat cost the Allie s a fir e tes t I f life. The town is one mass of ruins ; the ba g tt e e a r er and d ss o most of the houses literally riddled all over ; the killed and a d . m n o dett lying about in all di rections, lifeless trucks c an ' le n r ; some without heads, others without legs and d cat a s s . e Hundreds dying from the blood flowing from their wounds, and no one near to help them. The scene was truly awful ! The defence of the place was entrusted to a Pol e , who certainly did his utmost , he lost his arm, and is among the prisoner s' w ho are said to amount to 3,500, and those who have fled are said to exceed 1,000, but these latter were b e i ng hourly brought in by the mountaineers. The returns of killed and wounded on the side of the Allies had not yet been collected from the several ships at the date of our last advices, but the sane total is estimated at 23 killed and 50 wounded. Among the former w regret to announce the loss of Lieut. Le Mesurier, of the Talbot, e lately promoted. Among the wounded Commander Hastings of the Edinburgh, with the Master Assistant Surgeon and two Midshipmen of the same vessel, all by one sh e ll .

In Admi ral Walker's ship, five were killed and two wounded. This vessel's mainmast was shot through, and ber hull and rigging so injured that she will have to go to Constantinople for repairs. She will convey 1,000 prisoners. Admiral Walker has left in a steamer, for Constantinople to be himself the bearer of the The of the victory to the Sultan. Castor The Powerful's main top mast is crippled, and the Cast °. has suffered considerably. Only one shot struck the BelleF Fhon which went through the forecastle, doing no material ' of whom in jury, and only slightly wounding one Turkish soldier, ships. These they had on board 300, and so had all the other troops have been lauded to garrison Acre, where a vast quan tity of materials were found, exceeding what has been expen ded in the warfare along the coast of Syria, and estimated at little short of 1,000,0001. va l ue.

Among the prisoners are several French and Italian instructors. ACRE, Nov. 3. Acre was taken to-day by the combined British and Austrian fleets, after a cannonading o f f our hours and a ha lf. The ships opened fire yesterday at three p.m, and closed at dark, the whole sea side of the town having at that time had its guns dis mounted or silenced. We ceased fire at seven p.m., with the intention of recommencing at daylight, little thinking that we were already victors, nor did we know of the surrender till we saw our own union-jack hoisted on the citadel at dawn of day. The Lace of shipping employed is no doubt quite dispropor- I tionate to the immense strength of this redoubted fortress ; it was rebuilt in 1831, by French artizans, and defended by 4.60 guns of the heaviest calibre, which were on this occasion Worked by French bombardiers. But knowing the customer we had to deal with, otir guns were fought' in good earnest, pouring broadside upon broadside intts the fortress with a ra pidity and steadiness not surpassed by anything we read of in our naval history. About sixty-five guns had been actually dismounted or si lenced by our fire, when a stray shot or shell found its way into their powder magazine, which blew up with a tremendous explosion, buried-1,200 men in its ruins, and covered the whole city with its wreck. In the course of the night the mountaineers came down and commenced a straggling engagement of musketry with the Egyptian artillery outside the town, which continued till the enemy evacuated, which happened about two a.m., to-dry, and sun-rise showed us the combined flags, British, Austrian, and Turkish flying side by side on the citadel. Two thousand . prisoners were taken, and the mountaineers are hourly bringing in the fugitives. Our whole loss is unaccountably small, 23 killed and some wounded. The shot flew over head, cutting the rigging to pieces, but hardly touching the hulls. They seem either to have bad no idea of depressing their guns, or else could not see from the thick smoke (which fortunately for us) blew in their faces, the wind being westerly. The scene presented by the town is indescribably horrible. The whole neighbourhood of the explosion being a mass of killed and wounded, men and beasts, tossed together indiscriminately. It is ascertained that 2,000 shot and shell were fired into the town in four hours. The ships engaged were the Princess Charlotte, Powerful, Thunderer, Bellerophon, Edinburgh, Benb'sw, and Revenge—the Turkish Admiral—frigates, Pique, Castor, Carysfort, Talbot—the Austrial Admiral—brigs, Haz ard and Wasp—besides the steamers in the offing. Suck is the account of the taking of Acre, written within 24 hours after the attack becr ' an ; a city which baffled Buonaparte and a French army, and has undergone, both in ancient and modern history, more numerous and desperate sieges than any other city in the world.

THE BOMBARDMENT AND FALL OF ST. JEAN D'ACRE. MALTA, Nov. 15, 1840. The Phcenix steam-frigate arrived on Thursday evening last, bringing the momentous intellige n ce of th e captu re of St. J ean d'Acre, - the far-famed fortress of the Levant, by the combined fleets of the Allies. The action is the most splendid of all the recent splendid naval achievements in these seas, demonstrating to the staggering faith of the politicians of Europe that nothing can withstand British genius and valour. We cannot pass by the splendid action of Admiral Stopford —an action which has covered the Aelmiral with immortal honour. It was Admiral Sir Robert Stopford who left his flag ship for the Phcenix—who directed the attack—who fired the first shot upon the devoted fortress, who neared the formidable batteries, and under the bristling cannon (the labours and ac cumulations of ages) stood up with coolness, daring, unshaken courage, and commanded the whole operations! The Admiral, however, was nobly seconded by General Sir C. F. Smith, of the Royal Engineers, who was with him on board the Phcenix, and by other brave and intrepid officers under his command. Commodore Napier--the glory of the British sailor—headed one of the two divisioas, and would not cease his fire till every gun of the enemy was silent. Admiral Walker behaved also most admirably, and took his flag-ship under the guns. The result of this grand action is 3,000 prisoners, an im mense quantity of warlike stores, accumulated for years in this celebrated fortress, and possession of the entire coast of Syria. The Phcenix steam-frigate arrived in port on Thursday afternoon, from Acre, the 6th inst., with the important intelli gence of the fall of that fortress on the 3d. The attack commenced at half-past 2 o'clock, P.M., and be came general at 3 r.ar. At 20 minutes past 4 a large magazine blew up, by -which one entire regiment was sacrificed ; at 3 o'clock the southern division ceased firing, and at 40 minutes past 5 the north-western. The batteries fired until the last. During the night the place was evacuated. At 3 A.M. Walker Bey landed with some troops and took possession. British Loss-14 killed and 42 wounded. Egyptian Loss-1,500 to 1,700 killed by explosion. 500 killed on the ramparts. Wounded unknown. The only officer killed was Lieutenant Le Mesurier of the Talbot, who received a severe contusion, of which he died on the following day. The British ships engaged were the Princess Charlotte, Powerful, Thunderer, Benbo*, Revenge, Edinburgh, and Bellerophon of the line ; Castor, Pique, C ar y s fort, and Talbot, frigates ; Wasp and Hazard, sloops ; Gorgon, Vesuvius, Strata bob, and Phcenix, steam ft igates ; two Austrian frigates and a a corvette, and a Turki:h ship-of-the-line, with the flag of Ad miral Walker. Some of the ships were a good deal cut up about the rigging and spars, and a prodigious quantity of powder and shot was expended. The Plicenix proceeded. to England yesterday with the des patches from Admiral Stoptord. ACRE, Nov. 6. On the 24th ult. the Medea.' Steamer arrived from Malta and England; the same day the Turkish Atli:nit:el ( Walker), with the Gorgon and Pitcenix steamers, sailed for Acre) and the dxy haVinis reached their destination ( where they foatid t he Revenge and Pique), sent in a flag of truce, summoning the town, which, howeVdt, vtae not received, and the beat threatened to be fired on, it Wit immediately off. The Gorgon and Phoenix, therefore, returned to Bey rout, but en the la tter's arrival there found ale the AdMirel, with the Bellerophon and Edinburgh, and the two Austrian frigates, bad sailed for Acre, to which place she accordingly returned, and 14atntd that on the previous evening the Gorgon had fallen in with the Princess Charlotte, and, strange to sty, received orders for all the ship, excepting the Pique, to return to Beyroot, to which place we all accord. ingly proceeded. On the 29th the Vesuvius steamer arrived from Malta and Engl.,nd, and the same day an Austrian steamer from Constantinople bringing troops, and despatches from Lord Ponsonby. On the 30th tilt, a general order was issued f y Com mand of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, thanking the fleet for th sir seal and exertions, and on the same day a council of war was held, at which an immediate attack on Acre was decided on. The same evening the supernumerary Marines were embarked, and on the following day about g,OOO Turkish troops, each ship taking a portion according to her sill. General Sir C. F. Smith, R. E., accompanying them. In the afternoon the steamers Gorgon, Vesuvius, Stromboli, and Phoenix started for their destination. On the morninff o f Sunday, November the Ist, the steam division arrived og Acre, where they found the Pique, and in the forenoon commenced throwing shot and stall into the devoted town, which was briskly returned, but fortunately without effect. This amusement continued at intervals during the day, and must have harassed the enemy a good deal, as a number of shot and shell were seen to fall and burst in the very centre of the town. In the evening the steamers anchoted just out of range, and the Talbot and Wasp joined. At dayl ght oh the 2d the Turkish and Austrian Admirals made their appearance, and at eight o'clock the steamers weighed and resumed their work, which was continued at intervals throughout the day, the batteries returning the fire as yesterday, and with the like harmless effect. In the afternoon we had the satisfaction of making out the Admiral and squadron running cloven before a fine breeze from the northward : shortly before sunset the whole anchored off the town. The forces now assembled con sisted of the following vessels :—Princess Charlotte (flag), Powerful (broad pendent), Thunderer; 'Bellerophon, Revenge, Edinburgh, and Benbow of the line; Castor, Pique, Carysfort, and Talbot, frigates; Hazard, corvette ; Wasp, brig; and the steam-frigates, Gorgon, Vesuvius, Stromboli, and Phcenix; the Austrian frigates Gueriera and Medea, and a corvette, and the Turkish Admiral and cutter Tender. The night was spent in sounding, laying down buoys, and making the neces sary preparations. At half-past nine, a.m., all being ready, the signal was made to weigh, with a light wind from the south-west. The Admiral and Sir Charles Smith went on board the steam -frigate Phcenix, from which vessel they con ducted the attack ; the flag however, still remained flying on board the Princess Charlotte. At fifty minutes past one the Phcenix opened her fire. The Powerful, closely followed by the Princess Charlotte, Thunderer, Bellerophon, and Pique, stood to the northward (it would be as well to state here that the town presents two faces to the sea, one to the west and the other to the south), and then bore up, and anchored off the north-west angle of the town in the order named above. The Castor, Carysfort, Talbot, Benbow, Edi n b urg h , T urkish Admiral, azard, Wasp, and Austrians, stood in for the south face ; the Revenge was ordered to keep under weigh as a re serve. At a quarter past two o'clock the batteries to the south opened on the Castor, as she mostgallantly, and to the admiration of the whole fleet, took up her station within about 700 yards of the batteries, where she and her consorts opened their fire, as had also by this time the northern division ; the steamers were placed between the two divisions, under weigh, and thus the action became general. It would impossible to attempt a de. scription of the scene at this moment, but had those who have hertofore doubted the bravery and constancy of the Egyptians then witnessed the animated fire kept up by the batteries they would no longer be sceptical as to their courage or endurance. At about 3 o'clock the Revenge was ordered ha to s upp or t th e Powerful's division , and took up an admirable position a-head of that ship. At 25 minutes past 4, the action being at its height., aterrific explosion took place in the town, which for a time wholly concealed it and the southern division from view ; its appearance was truly awful, and I can compare it to nothing but as if a huge yew tree had suddenly been conjured up from the devoted town, it hung for many minutes a mighty pall over those hundreds it had hurled into eternity, and then slowly, owing to the lightness of the wind, drifted to the southward. It proved to be the explosion of the principal magazine of the place, one-third of which it has destroyed, and from a whole re giment having been quartered in a khan immediately adjoining, it is supposed from 1,500 to 1,700 soldiers perished in the ruins, besides a number of camels, horses, bullock s , an d donkeys. After this fearful event th e fire from the southern batteries nearly ceased, but the western'one still kept it up with anima tion, and was answered broadside after broadside with redoubled vigour and tremendous effect. Shortly before fire the Admiral made the signal to discontinue the•engagement, but from the smoke it could not be seen for some time by the Powerful's divi sion, who continued until half-past fire to fire at the few guns that still maintained the action, after which not a shot was fired either from the town or fleet. This sudden silence immediately succeeding such a dinning uproar had a very peculiar effect. In the early part of the night the Prin cess Charlotte and the Revenge shifted further out, and the Benbow, the Edinburgh, and the Castor were hauled further in, far the purpose of breaching the south face in the morning. Admiral Walker made one or two unsuccessful at tempts to land some spies, but happily about 30 minutes after I a.m. a small boat came off from the captain of the port, to say that the Egyptians were leaving the town, and that if a party was landed at the water -gate it would be found open ; this was of course immediately done, and three hundred Turks and a party of Austrian marines took unopposed possession at daylight; the remainder of the Turkish troops and a con siderable number of marines were landed and quietly marched into the place. Thus has fallen the far famed fortress of Acre, after a bombardment of only about three hours' du ration ! A ny attempt to describe the awful scene of carnage and destruction that presented itself would be impossible. I shall, therefore, not even attempt the task, but confine myself to giving you the numbers supposed to have perished, and the damage done. From 1,500 to 1,700 are supposed to have perished by the explosion of the magazine, and about 300 were k illed in the batteries. 3,000 prison ers were taken; 700 of one regiment, who had evacuated the town in the night, marched clown to the beach with drums beating, and quietly laid down their arms. The batteries are awfully knocked about, many guns upset, and several burst, Cor. GERMANY. TRIESTE, Nor. 14.—Just before the post set out the Protette merchantman arrived from Corfu, the Captain of which just before his departure heard from travellers from Zante that that island had been visited by a severe earthquake. Both the town and all the villages had suffered much, and several persons lost their lives. Hundreds of houses are said to have been destroyed. Nov. 15.—1 add to my yesterday's account of the earthquake in Zante some further, but still incomplete, details which I have re ceived from a letter direct from Zante :—" From the 28th to the 30th of October forty-eight shocks, more or less violent, were felt at different intervals, one of which, at ten o'clock in the morning, was so violent that many buildings, including the fort, fell upon the houses, and not a single house escaped without damage. Above fifty persons, chiefly aged persons and pregnant women, who could not get out of doors in time, perished. The damage in the town alone is estimated above two millions of dollars. The extent of the damage was not known that had been done in the villages, which are said to be wholly destroyed. The Governor arrived just at the moment of the catastrophe, and immediately took measures for the relief the sufferers. He caused 18,000 dollars to be distributed among them, and offered for the present a loan of 200,000 dollars to the house •owners. Several engineers and builders have already arrived from Corfu to direct the rebuilding of the houses. Many tents have been erected for the people who are without shelter." BELGIAN I.

DISCUSSION ON TIIE ADDREsS. The discussion about to commence excited an extraordinary curiosity, and, as M. Thiers was expected to be the first to at:dress the House, all the tribunes were occupied at an early hour. Seats had been prepared for the Peers in the interior of the hall, and nearly one-half of the Members of that House were present. The privileged tribunes were crowded with ladies, and that reserved for the diplomatic body was entirely full. • At a quarter to two, the Assembly being in numbers, the dis. cussion commenced, and Marshal Soult, President of the Council, having asked to be allowed to offer some observations, mounted the tribune. The Marshal said, that he was President of the Council when the difficulties of the Eastern question originated, and he had again accepted that office, with the responsibility attending its conclusion. France, he said, was ready to engage in war, provided it was dic tated by justice and the dignity of the country; and was deter mined on maintaining unimpaired the balance of power in Europe. The object France had always had in view was to secure Constantinople from the exclusive protection of one Power, and for that purpose it nas necessary to arert the explosion of hostilities in the East. As President of the 12th of May, his efforts had ever tended to maintain the integrity of the empire ; but at the same time to protect both Constantinople and Alexandria. He felt bound to de. dare that the Treaty of July 15 was not intended as an insult against France. He had witnessed himself the feeling of the Eng. lish people towards his country, for he never considered the honour paid to him in England as addressed to him, but to the nation he represented. France might rest assured that he would not compro mise her dignity at the close of his career. He had formerly served her with his sword, he now served her as a citizen. M. Thiers succeeded the Marshal, and a solemn silence ensued. He said the Chamber would appreciate his motives for addressing it at so early an hour ; he felt it necessary to give the country an account of his administration, and whatever he asserted he would support with unanswerable proofs and documents. Ile would ab stain from all recrimination, and merely state facts, and not tin pute to his predecessors the reponsib.lity of the present situation. France before the Ist of March last, had not been fortunate in several negotiations ; she had failed in Poland, in Italy, and Spain.—(Mutmurs from the Centre.) In the East she could m export to he more successful. France always desired tin Constantinople slimed be taken Porn the exclusive protector ship nd secured against the supposed projects of Russia, am vished et the same time for the consolidation of the existence o, the Pacha of Egypt, which Was menaced by England. Francs had accordingly those two Powers to encounter, and, knowing this to be the case, she shsted have Lot embarked in the affair, if she were not determined to abide by the consequences of such a reso lution. Although the alliance between England and France had been greatly sliakrn by the hesitation of the latter in regard to Spain. she was nevertheless disposed to give up many points in or der to remove the protectorship of Russia over the Ottoman - ern- Ore England then proposed to France to unite the two fleets on the coast of Syria, to summon the belligerent parties to lay down their arms, and when this result was obtained, td proceed to the Dardanelles, and command tho Russians to evacuate Constantino. ple, if already occup i ed, or atop in their march if they were on their waythither ,threatening them with extreme consequences if they did not comply with the injunction. The French Cabinet replied, on the 30th of May, 1839, that it was not ready to explain itself re•pect ing the intentions of France; that England did not herself ap pear very resolute, since she limited her actions to more summonses. Lord Palmerston, on the 14th cf June, replied that the Cabinet had deliberated, under the painful impressiGn pro duced by her despatch of the 30th of May, and repeated his former proposition. He proposed again to unite their fleets at the mouth of the Dardanelles; and, if the Russians were marching on Constantinople, to summon them to stop, and if they re fused, either to demand the entrance of the passage, or force it conjointly. To this plan the French Cabinet did not accede, al though it uould have then been perfectly easy to eLgage England in a war with Russia. France, in her turn, proposed to open a Con. greys in Vienna fhr the adjustment of the question, but Russia would not agree to this offer, and it was only when it became evi dent that the Sultan was disposed to grant the Paella everything lie required that she consented to join the London conference. The tiole of the 27th of Juty gave great pleasure in England, but from that day the alliance between the two countries was no longer the same. England made to Fiance a number of pro. positions contrary to her interests, dangerous even, which the Cabinet of the 12th of May ho noura bl y refused. Amongst them was the proposition to wrest by force the Ottoman fleet from the Padre. On the 21st of September France proposed to leave to the Viceroy the hereditary pos sess i on of E g ypt and Syria, and the government during life of Candle, and to invite him to give up Adana and the holy cities. To this pie nH. de Fig uelmont gave his adhesion on the part of Austria t I'russia, disinterested in the question, concurred in the opinion of Austria; Russia ex. pressed the utmost indifference on the subject; but England alone would not consent to grant the Pacha anything but the hereditary possession of Egypt. This led to some coolness between France and England. Russia took advantage of the circumstance, and sent an able diplomatist to London, who told Lord Palmerston that his Sovereign fully adhered to his views. The Russian di piomatist then proposed that the fleets of England, France, and Austria should unite to coerce Mehemet Ali in Syria, whilst the Russian fleet should alone be allowed to protect Constantinople. To this France strenuously objected, as it would have been sanc tioning the continuation of the Treaty of Milder 'Skelessi, she had no trouble in prevailing on England to reject it. It was about that time that Lora - Palmerston made a formal proposition to that Cabinet to grztit Mehemet Ali the hereditary Government of Egypt and of the Pachalic of Acre. On the 14th of October France declined acceding to that arrangement, and shortly after. wards, Lord Palmerston had a conversation with General Sebastiani, in which he declarcd to him in a glacial tone that the British Cabinet had come to the resolution of withdrawing the concession of the Pashalic of Acre to the Paella. Such was the situation of the question when M. Thiers catered office, and he perfectly remembered that M. Guizot, on leaving for London, was instructed to propose and obtain for the Viceroy the hereditary possession of both Egypt and Syria. that b d e r a s y k F n r e a w n c t e h f a o t u F n d r a h n e c r e s c h l d a 1 o d n i e a r g e d a n w s t h t h e t h F e o r u r o w Ps. and even called it a national policy.

Thiers) per. ceived that France could not retain a real influence at Constar nople, he had sought to establish her supremacy at Alexandria, because he considered that she should have a point d'appui in the east to maintain her ascendancy in the Mediterranean. The Cham bers, besides, made it imperative for him to conform with their solemn vote; his policy,on the other hand,was commanded by public opinion, and could not accordingly be departed from. England, from what had taken place for several years, was persuaded that the menaces of France were not to be apprehended ; that she had only to insist, and that France, sooner than break off' the alliance, would submit to her wishes. He was aware that such was the conviction of the British Cabinet, and he would have considered himself unworthy the confidence the King and country had placed in him if he had not assumed an imposing attitude. In this position, he thought it his duty to keep aloof and gain time, and his instructions to M. Guizot were to abstain from making any proposition, to discuss those that might be brought forward, but in all cases to impress the negotiators with the idea that if any violence were offered, France would resist and not yield. M. Thiers than vindicated himself against the charge of having wished lightly to embroil his country in a war with Europe, and summoned M. Guizot to declare if he did not speak the truth. (M. Guizot made a sign of assent.) He then read a despatch of M. Guizot, dated March 10, 1840, in which the latter said, that having called on Lord Palmerston, he dis covered that the settlement of the Eastern Question was little ad vanced ; that nothing would be done until the arrival of the Turkish Minister, that England preferred acting with France, and would make concessions, and that by gaining time the British Cabinet might be induced to acquiesce in some of the views of France. He (M. Thiers), however, thought that there was nothing to be ex pected from London, and he turned his attention to Constantinople and Alexandria, where he also discovered that nothing could be achieved : but he declared he never favoured, or thought of, a di rect arrangement between the Sultan and the Pacha. Had he done so, he would frankly confess it, and take pride in it. That arrangement was certainly the most natural; it was implied in the note of the 117th of July, 1539, but he had never given instruc. tions to that effect to his agents. In England, even, that arrange ment was favourably received. It would have avoided many cala. unties ; but, not wishing to afford any pretext for breaking off the negotiations, although he knew at the time that British agents Were calling the Syrians to revolt, he had formally forbidden M. de Pontois and M. Cochelet to promote any such arrangement. In proof of his statement M. Thiers read a despatch addressed by him to those two diplomatists, in which he told them that England appeared to be animated with conciliatory intentions, that a rapprochement was probable, that France, however,was determined not to make any pro. , rect returns of the number of that mounted have not been recei'ed, but I should suppose that there are about 120 on the sea faces, and about 20 mortars, chiefly brass, 13-inch. Vast quantities of munitions of war and provisions, together with specie to the amount of five thousand pounds, were found in the town, Youssouf Aga (Colonel Shultz, a Pole), the chief engineer of the army of Syria, was taken prisoner seriously wounded in the arm—the defence of the place had been intrusted to him. Mabmoud Bey, the Governer, effected his escape, but has since been taken by the mountalnoers. The wonderful 'recision and rapidity of the fire are best ap preciated by Youssouf Aga (the Pole) declaring that no men could possibly have stood to their guns in the batteries—the Princess Charlotte alone tired 4,400 shots. Little damage has been sustained by the works on the land side, which are even now very strong, but which a few months more would have rendered almost impregnable. Some hundreds of sick, and a number of dead, were found in the hcspital, many having been killed in their beds during the bombardment, and all appear to have been sadly neglected. Ibrahim Pacha is reported to be at a place called iehle, between Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon, with a force of from 15,000 to 20,000 men. The prisoners taken at Acre are embarking on board the English .hips, which are shortly to proceed to Marmorice for the winter, leaving a squad ron of frigates and steamers under Captain Collier, of the Cas tor, on the coast of Syria. The Phasnix, with the despatches for England still leave this morning. Reinforcements from Constantinople continue to arrive, but the campaign is sup posed to have finished for the winter. Mr. Gennys, mate of the Carysfort, is promoted 'to the Talbot, vice Le Mesurier, dead. Admiral Walker is to leave in the Vesuvius with the despatches for Constantinople ; he has been made a Pacha. Another letter, after giving an account of the operations, states t—At daylight we found the place had been evacuated during the night; the troops were immediately landed by the small ships. The Turkish flao. was hoisted on the citadel, and on either side a small E n glish 'and Austrian flag, thus terminat ing the siege and fall of Acre. The enemy certainly had been expecting os to land in the bay, having barricaded the gates on that side, and made it very strong. We commenced by going round the other walls, and were truly surprised at the strength of the place; almost every gUn was new—every carriage quite so; but the quantity of ammunition, shot, and shells of every sort and description, by the side of each gun, astonished us, certainly su ffi cient for a six month's ordinary siege. In the town there is not one house without many shot holes in it, nor one habitable. 1 could not have imagined a city so completely destroyed, and was really glad to find myself again on board. The Bellerophon, Revenge, and Thunderer, are ordered to convey 600 prisoners each to Beyrout, and there tranship them into transports for Constantinople. It is said that much specie has been found in the city, and 300 pieces of field artillery. I yesterday heard the value estimated at 200,0001., this fortress having been the grand depot and arsenal of Mohemot Ali. It will be a great blow to him; the garrison was supposed to amount to near 6,000 at the commencement of the attack. The next ships for Malta are the Edinburgh, Hazard, and Wasp, the two first having their mizenmasts, and the last her foremast shot through. The Bellerophon in the 3i hours find away 160 barrels of powder, and 28 tons of iron shot. NEWS FROM CONSTANTINOPLE. MALTA, Nov. 15. By the arrival of the Minos this mottling we have advices from Constantinople to the sth inst., from Egypt.to the 6th, and from Smyrna to the 9th. The news is not important. At none of these places was the capture of St. Jean d'Acre known. It is said that there is a strong fermentation in Damascus in favour of the Sultan. Some Tatar couriers have arrived at Constantinople, bringing the confirmation of the evacuation of Tarsus, Adana, and the defiles of the Taurus by the Egyptians. Troops continue to be sent from Constantinople into Syria. The Sultan's army now, with the troops just sent, will amount to 20,000 strong. Orders have been sent to the Emir Bechir, now in Malta, to go to Constantinople. He is at liberty to go or refuse, as he is under British protection. (He may thank God for that !) The Sultan has had another daughter, and promises to have a large family. The late Austrian, Prussian, and Russian Con suls-Generals in Egypt arrived at Smyrna from Beyrout, on the 3d instant. Sir Moses Montefiore and suite arrived here to-day by the Minos. Hosref Effendi, despatched by Mehemet Ali to search out for Ibrahim, could not find him, or, at least, get near him. He had a particular mission. The French picket agent In Malta, and the Russian Consul , had a regular tight with sticks, owing to the arrival of the news of the fall of Acre. Thii is i moat disgraceful busi ness—a farce, if you will, after the tragedy of St. Jean d'Acre. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. CORFU, Nov. 11. An awful earthquake took place at the ill-fated island of Zante, on Friday, the 30th ult. Sir Howard Douglas and suite are still there, and have during the last week felt up pards of 100 shocks, and some very smart ones. The country has suffered severely, but providentially not more than seven lives have been lost. The inhabitants are all in a state of the greatest alarm, and the damage done is estimated at 1,500,000 dollars. Fortunately the weather was, up to Friday last, remarkably fine, or the sufferings of the poor would have been tenfold ; a subscription has been opened for the immediate relief of the poor wretches whose houses are utterly destroyed. Gentlemen who have come from Zante say, that after the first tremendous shock the town had the appearance of a place that had been bombarded for month, and only fancy what it must losk like now that they have had 100 and more shocks. which it is said have crumbled down those buildings which the first shock rent. A small island in the harbour of Zante has disappeared ; there were a few fishermen's huts upon it, but we know not whether any poor wretches were on it at the time. BLOCKADE OF ALEXANDRIA. The following communication, which must have been re ceived by Rear-Admiral Louis, at Malta, on the 26th of Oc tober, per Hydra, was not notified to the trade until the 7th of .Islovemner following : " Chief Secretary's Office, Valetta, 7th of November, 1840. Sitity---i em directed It/ his Excellency the Governor to transmit to you, for the information of the merchants, a copy of a letter from the Admiral Commander-in-Chief, dated the 23d of October, on the state of affairs in the East, communi cated to his Ekcellency Query Under what data ? Without which information it Is :Impossible to know who is to blame for withholding the same from the trade for no less a period than thirteen days!] by Rear-Admiral Sir John Louis. " I have the honour to be, Sir, you; most humble servant, " H. GREIG, Chief Secrstsry to Government. " To the Chairman of the Committee of British Merchants, &c. &c." i "Princess Charlotte, Beyront, Oct. 23, 1840. "Sirs-=:4 have received your letter of the 4th instant with its inclosures relatite to the blockade of Alexandria, in answer to which I have to inform you that as soon as appearances no longer countenanced the hope of the Pacha of Egypt's accep tanye of the terms offered to him by the Porte, I thought it right ft/ Caution any English and Austrian ships going into Alexandria of the uncertain state of affairs, but nothing more. On the 26th ult., in consequence of instructions from her Ma jesty's Ambassador accompanying the declaration of a rigid blockade by the Porte, I communicated the same to Captain fisher, of the Asia, the senior offieer at Alexandria, but at the same time acquainted him that in consequence of a representa tion by the English and Austrian Consuls, stating that some merchants of their respective nations had purchased and paid for suagry articles which were shipping at Alexandria, and tetptesting thit such vessels might be allowed -to sail from Alexandria, I had acquainted the Consuls that vessels so cir cumstanced wend tts he rovided with a ce•tificate from the Vice-Consuls who rellittitred st Alexandria, ascertaining the facts, and that such vessels :fete to be permitted to pass, On the 13th of this month, I received a second intimation of a rigid blockade by the Porte, to conimenee on the 13th, or a month after the previous notice, which I communicated by the earliest opportunity I had to Captain Fisher ; and considering the former notice vitiated by the subsequent one, I directed Captain Fisher to extend the time for the commencement of the blockade to the period stated in the Austrian Consul's lett ,, r, after the notice of it should be given (twenty daysl recommending Captain Fisher, whose judgment and con sideration I had great reason to approve of, to favour the mer cantile :Merest as far as he could consistently with the support he was bound to afford to the blockade established by the Sublime Porte. You may assure his Excellency, the Governor, for the information of the merchants of Malta, that whatever has been done on this unpleasant occasion has been from a real consideration of their interests, and an anxiety to prevent their suffering by the then impending rupture with the Pacha of Egypt, and every facility granted for the removal of their pro perty. " I hare the honour, &e., " R. STOPFORD, Admiral. " To Rear-Admiral Sir J. Louis, Bart., &c., &c., Malta." TEA. AN.D COFFEE. IMPORT DtifIES—COFFRE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUZY. SIR,—I take the liberty of enclosing a statement respecting the increased consumption of Coffee for the last fifty years, and shall be glad if you will print t 1.13 return, if you think it worth while. It is worthy of remark, that the consumption has not increased of late years. This is to be attributed to the great use of Chicory, now allowed by the Board of Excise. I will give one instance, among many of equal extent, and if the duty on Coffee were lowered to three-pence a pound all round, the revenue would be improved, and Coffee would cease to be " im proved" with that abominable root, Chicory. But, I am forgetting the instance I was about to mention. A short time ago, an order was given for twenty pounds of Coffee ; nine pounds of this Coffee was to be Chicory, and eleven pounds Coffee ; and to be weighed up in seven-and-a-half ounces, for the pur pose of being hawked about the country for half pounds of Coffee. The man applied to more than one person to execute this shameful fraud, who refused ; but another not so exact, took the task of weighing this mixture in the way I have dacribed ; and the men himself was my informant. I am, your's, A SUBSCRIBER. Huddersfield, Nov. 24th, 1840. Tea retained for consumption in Great Britain in the year 1830-29 475,2051b5., averaging per head Ilb. 7oz. B,twts. Coffee looz. 14dwts.
