PARIS, February sth.—M. de St. Aulaire, one of the secre taries attached to the French embassy at Vienna, ari ived ne:c yesterday from that city, bearer of uespatches from ConsfanL nople of the 13th ult., which bring information of an armistice of forty days having been concluded between the Egyptians and the Turks. Ibrahim made no movement since the late battle, hii rein forcements not having arrived from Egypt. The en:Tension of arms will most probably lead to a final pacification, which the Sultan will obtain by the loss of Syria, and all hope,.of ever bringing again Egypt under the imperial s c ept re . Tti.e sion of the armistice appears to be due to the active exertions of the French. Emissaries have been sent by the French embassy at Constantinople both to the Viceroy in Egypt and his son in Asia Minor, with propositions of peace, and o,..ers of a media tion, which gave the Egyptians to understand that they would be made accountable to Erance for any rejection of terms which might be deemed reasonable by the mediators. This turn of events will, of course, preclude the necessity of Russian inter ference, and the affairs of the east, which have lately threatened, at least as much as those of Holland and Belgium have done before, to disturb the peace of Europe, will probably be settled in a satisfactory way, at least for the present.—Times' Corres pondent.

They . communicate important intelligence. Don Pedro has sustained another defeat. :The latest accounts ,stated that great efforts had been made by the forces of Don Miguel to the north ward of Oporto to cut otf Don Pedro's communication with the sea. We have also had accounts of the marching of troops in that direction, and the construction of works'tu command the bay and the small fort erected by Don Pedro in the neighbour hood of St. Jean-de Foz. - These preparations had been watched by General Soiignag with Much anxiety, for had they suc ceeded, the supplies of Don Pedro would have been entirely cut off from Oporto by, sea as well as by land. The case -was 'urgent, and - in consequence it was resolved to hazard a general engagement. The attack took place on the 24th ult.., A de tachment of British troops attacked the fort erected between the bay and the Foz; it was carried gallantly at the point of the bayonet. On the capture of the fortification a signal was made, as agreed upon, lor the remaind e r o f th e army - un d er Don Pedro to advance in the rear, and attack the Miguelites:, amounting by computation to 3,00 U men. To the astonishment of Solignac, however, the army which was to . have advanced had retired by order of Don Vedret - to Oporto, he having been persuaded by his officers that the attack. would be ruinous, and that the detachment which had advanced under Solignac by the sea coast .had been unsuccessful, as the signal had not been made exactly at the time appointed. The squadron of Don Pedro was in the bay, and had greatly assisted the attacking party, by keeping up a continued fire upon the line of posts cf Don Miguel, and when retiring (not being joined by the army of Dun Pedro,) the squadron again covered - the• retreat, but it proved disastrous, as the brave British troops were left without succour. The numbers lust are variously stated; the highest statement of the loss is 503 on each side, but some accounts say, E 0 rank and file and fivd - officers of Don Pedro's forces, three of the hitter wounded and two killed, Captains :Hanby and Clarke; who were buried afterwards with mintary honors. The Pedioites in the eir,y ailect.to treat the whole as a trivial affair, and have very in..ustriously handed about their own accou nt o f it. . The following is theirbuletin, which we give entire ; 'it is evidently by a foreigner,. and certainly nut a military man Extract of a letter dated Oporto, Jan. 28.—" By the news- L , apers you will rind an account of a sortie made by us on the 4th, which was well planned; but, owing to stupidity ordelay, failed. The shipping could have conimenced two hours before but at one to two o'clock they began blowing away at a felt that had been built to prevent our landing horses at St: Jean de Foz; at the' same time, 203 men of the 4th battalion, (Bri tish) under Brown, advanced against the lines, attacked' the. Miguelites on the left, which, at a certain signal from the Ad miral that he had silenced the forts, the- right, under Pedi , o, were to commence, and to tlke the enemy on the left flank and drive them ipto the sea. The forts were evacuated; •Brown took possession of the hill - at'thc • point of 'the bayonet, driving them like sheep, and Would have taken a tower but for want of scaling ladders. The tignal being made for the right to ad vance, Solignac was surprised to find • it not ,affected, the .Biu peror being advised not to run the . men into unnecessary risk; so that the day being advanced, he Macle.a signal for returning; so ended the affair. The loss'iS trifling, three officers.wounded and - two killed." After this failure, General Solignac, it is stated, resigned in disgust, and is said to have used the most unqualified lang - uaso in speaking of the conduct of the eat-Emperor; but by tie in tercession of friends the affair was made up, and he remained at Oporto on the 31st ult.

GALLANT AND INTIMPID HUMANITY.-- , 011 Wednesday af ternoon, the 30th ult.; about half-past three o'clock, and jdst as the steam-packet Commerce was on the eve of sailing frbre the North Wall, Dublin, foaiverpool; a middle- age d 'female; While shaking hands and bidding adieu to a friend, one of the pdssen geys, over-reached herself, and was precipitated into theifater, between the packet and the quay, and instantly disapienred. Alarm and fear immediately ensued, and a rope was held over the side of the vessel,' in expectation that when the unfortunate woman should again_lise to the surface she would lay hold of it and rescue herself. A minute or two ha - ving elapsed without her appearing, it was dreaded that she had got under the packet, and therefore that all attempts to save her would prove unavail ing. At this moment the agonizing cries of her friend, with whom she had taken farewell, attracted the attention of one of the cabin passengers, who, we have since learned, *as Mr. George Keiller, wholesale confectioner, of Dundee, Who in stantly plunged headlong, clothes and all, into the water. Mr Keiller remained unseen nearly two minutes, during; which time the greatest stillness and intense anxiety prevailed'afnong the passengers and the assembled crowd on the quay, it being `conjectured that in attempting to save the life of a fellow-crea ture he had sacrificed his own. Most happily it proved Qther wise. When the worst .apprehensions were entertained,. Mr. Keiller appeared on the surface with the 'drowning wbinan in his arms. His. appearance was hailed with deafening cheers. The woman, gieatlY exhausted, was conveyed home to her frienas. tn ite that Mr. invoking lilessirkgesioinier, by thepr i e li s s er h ve er r o o ic of h i e la r tr l e i the third rescued persons from a watery grave.
