These letters confirm the previous accounts of the.
expected arrival of HAz Pacha at Constantinople. The
Sultan has evidently sent for him to ascertain to what ex-
tent he may rely upon his army in Anatolia. Some well
informed persons think, that, although numerou6 and well
appointed, it runs great risk, in case of a war, of being
beaten, as it is composed chiefly of new recruits ; but this
chance does not frighten the men who are urging Mal,moui
to take ill-judged steps, promising him succour under all
events that may happen. The mission of some noble
Tcherkesses to Constantinople has excited the jealousy
of M. de Boutenieff, .who cells upon the Porte to take
-strong measures; and among others the arrest of some
Polish officers who are going to the Caucasus, to keep
up a kind of police at the ports of the Black Sea,
&c. The cavalry sent from Sivas and Malatia to
the extreme Syrian frontier, having attracted to
this point sonic of Ibrahim's battalions, have probably
given grounds for a belief that hostilities have com-
menced. Nothing of the kind is as yet known to have
taken place." A letter of the 3d, quoted by the Augs_
burg Gazette, says that " peace in the East is not to be too
much coueted on—that the Ottoman fleet was to sail in a
fortnight from this date, composed of seven ships of the
line, twelve frigates, arid various other vessels—destina-
tion not known." The correspondent of the Curlsruhe
Gazette estimates the Turkish army under Haft Pacha
on the Syrian frontier and in the Taurus at 50,000 men.
/ The following from Alexandria of the 7th inst., is taken
from a leter in the Sad, of Marseilles The apprehen-
sions of war, excited by the armaments of the Viceroy, have
been completely dissipated ; the Consuls of France and
England having convinced Mehemet Ali that the result of
a resort to arms, however successful, could not be advan-
tageous to him. Mehemet Ali has given a formal promise
not only that he will make no aggression upon the army of
the Sultan, but also that if attacked, he will keep as much
as possible upon the defensive ; and a dispatch to this
effect has been sent to Ibrahim Pacha. Mehemet Ali
has declared that he cannot act upon the treaty of
August 16, until he receives orders from the Sultan.
Colonel Campbell has had another conference with Me.
hemet Ali, as to the passage of English troops through
Egypt into India, in cote of necessity, and ho does not
object to it. Should this take places it is said, that the
British troops, with the exception of their officers, will
march without their arms. M. Cardin, Chancellor and
Interpreter of the French Consulate in Egypt, is dead,
