EGYPT.

We find the following in the Debals :
Accounts have been received from Alexandria to the 21st.
The envoy of the Porte, Aflf-J3ey,errived there on the 19th,
and on the following day proceeded to Cairo. He is
charged by the Divan to hind to the Viceroy the finnan re-
lative to the introduction of the tanximat into Egypt, with
the medifiestiona decided on between Abbas Pacha and
Food Effendi, and since approved of by the Porte. This
envoy had been expected with great impatient., and se-
rious uneasiness wee beginning to be felt at Cairo and at
Beanah at the little sewn's shown by the Porte to give
its official sanction to the oonvenrion of May last; for it
was known that Fund Effaudi bad loudly tam, seed Ms dis-
approbation of the brutal conduct adopted against Said
Pacha, and it was feared that the presence of the Prince at
Constantinople, when he had been called on to come
after his Journey into Europe, might change the
good feelings of the Sultan towards the iceroy.
Assuredly, the Sultan could not remain indifferent to that
inconceivable act of aggression, and he doubtless has not
concealed his disapprobation of it ; but it is difbcult to sup-
pose that this family quarrel could in any way affect the
pacific results of the conferences of Cairo. However this
may be, the arrival of AM Bay had removed all fears, and
we shall shortly learn that the Tansimat has been promul-
gated with great pomp and amidst fetes promised and long
since prepared.

THE FRENCH AND THE ENGLISH PRESS.
M. Emile de Givardin gives, in yesterduy's (Wed-
nesday's) Presets, a very fair hit at °turner do
Cusagnac. He quotes the beginning of the article
against the English press in the Pays of Tuesday
(given in another column), changing seven words
only. The passage so altered reads as follows :
There does than exist in our civilised Europe a country
where the liberty of a writer goes to the extent of the right
of defamation. There does exist a press which, instead of
preaching concord and peace, makes a trade of Insult and
calumny, which, instead of appeasing expiring antipathies
daily studies to irritate and to envenom them. Yes,
that country exists, it is called France. Yes, that
press exists, it is to be found in Paris ; and, more
serious still, It is a journal of weight, the recog-
nised organ of a certain political party; it is the Pays,'
which has long adopted a system of insults, peril-
diously calculated sad salaciously written. A few days
sines the Press* win compelled to protest, in the name of
the dignity of FM. 011 sad of her government, against the
malicious imputations of the French print. And yesterday
we And la the columns of the Pays fresh iasalts, not only
against the men whom popular lmproekimed head
of the state, bat also against the mhos. These lines (says
Otrardla) are GM textually tram as article, Tigard
" Cohen,. ' published at the head of the Pays; we have
eilz= °sly the seven words which are unlined:—tor
we have pat France; for London, Paris ; for
Them, Pays; for Mossitour, Proem; and for Brilanisigue,
He then applies every sentence of the above pas-
sage to Cusagnac's article, wherein ha stated that
but for the row d'etat France would have been the
prey of robbers and cut-throats in 1852. This, he
says, repeating his argument already alluded to, as-
fumes that 400,000 troops and 23,000 gendarmerie
would hive insufficient to prevent universal pillage
and murder. The Pays, by the pen of M. Granter
de Cassagnao bas therefore represented France as a
nation, the immense majority of whose inhabitants
are robbers and murderers. It has thus set the
most outrageous example of defamation to the Eng-
lish press, and has done its best to induce England
and all Europe to look upon France with abhorrence.

LAROR SEIZURE OF CONTRABAND TOBACCO.—
RANSOAVIS, At oval 111.—One of the largest seizures of
contraband tobacco which have been made on this coast for
many years has been brought to light before the magistrates
of this town. Two Englishmen, named J. Gardner and 11.
Chawner, and fair Frenchmen, gitiog the names et J. C.
Caibi, B. V. Longrein, X. Mermaio, ;and A. 0. Grovel,
were charged with being in possession of the Marie, of Dun-
kirk, on board of which vessel was discovered six thousand
pounds weight of tobacco, the duty on which amounted to
BAAL It appears that the cruising of the craft in the vici-
nity of the Downs, ready to make a " run " of it when the
coast was clear, came to the ears of the
and, afire several searching .raises, the long looked
for croft was sighted, and taken on the night of
the 19th instant, although mme miles from the land
off Marge°. The Akers were informed her name, and'
that she was bound to Yarmouth for a cargo of fish. The
stores which were lying about tended to favour the belief
that she we, engaged in the trade they had represented, but
the officers, on ramaeking the vessel, discovered the
quantity of tobacco above described. The four Frenchmen
• appeared to form the crew, end the two Englishmen, who '
i were asleep at the time of the capture, stated that they had
been engaged to bring tho vessel over, and that thee knew
nothing of the tobacco. Mr. Beverly, who attended for the
Commissioners of Customs, said that as the yew I was not
found within a league of the coast he could not suopoet a
prosecution against the four Frenchmen, but the two Eng.
I lish defendants would be proceeded agsitiat. Eventually
the bench convicted the Englishmen in the penalty of 1001.
or to be committed to Sandwich gaol, but the foreigner.
