Alf IS'TERDAM, OCT. 25.—Very little was done to-

the financial measures to be brought forward to-day by
the finister of Finance, which could rot be known on
change. All descriptions were on this account rather

LATEST NEWS FROM THE EAST.

(From Marseilles journals of the 23d inst.)
A letter from Alexandria, dated the 7th instant, in
the Semaphore, states that since Reschid: Paella had
become the most influential member of the Divan Eng-
lish influence was in the ascendant, and Lord Ponsonby
was urging the organization of another Turkish army,
which would be ready in eight months. The SC'lll
a.
phone's correspondence from Malta has the follow-
ing

" The Sesostris, which arrived yesterday from the
Levant, brings us news that the tranquillity of Con-
stantinople is in a very precarious state. The manu-
factory of fissis (red leather caps), belonging to the
Sultan, had been burnt to the ground. This is attri-
buted to some incendiary, as the Turks of the ancien
regime dislike this reformed head-dress. And yet all
subjects not in the army are now allowed to wear the
turban ; but this fire was perpetrated to show their re-
pugnance to the fessa fessi. This fire took place on the
7th, alter the departure of the Sesostris, but the pas-
sengers heard of it at Syra from the captain of an
Austrian steamer. Here is another immerre loss, in
addition to so many others, for the young Sultan's
treasury."

The Sud's correspondence from Constantinople of
the 7th instant confirms the accounts of the Smyrna
Papers touching the great sensation produced by the
recal of Admiral Roussin ; as also that the influence
of Rescbid Pacha was daily increasing, whilst that
of Halil Pacha threatened soon to annihilate the
sway of Chosrew Facha, whose physical and moral
energies were declining: Hafiz Pacha was not to
resume the command of the army, and had been ap-
pointed Governor of Erzerourn. The Porte had
23,000 men at Malatia, and it was concentrating
upon that point all its disposable forces, for a march
upon Beledjick and Diarbekir, in order to reassume a
defensive attitude. This fact ought not be lost
sight of. " The Porte," adds the Sud's corres-
pondent, " begins to be seriously uneasy at the
slowness of the negotiations. Uncertainty as to '
the future, disorder in the army, finances, and adminis-
tration, discontent among the population, ruin of com-
merce, such are the inevitable consequences of such a
state of things. The Ottoman Cabinet, feeling these
dangers, has addressed to the five Powers a most press-
ing note, in which, after declaring that it will decide
upon nothing without their concurrence, demands a
prompt solution. An evasive answer will no doubt be
given. Conferences will be opened at London, and then
nobody can tell how long it will be before this desired
settlement is came to. In the meanwhile Admiral
Lalande has declared that the combined fleets cannot
remain more than a fortnight longer at Besika Bey ;
their departure will give Russia a fine game to play."
An Alexandria letter, 7th instant, gives the following
account of the narrow escape from drowning of the
Viceroy of Egypt The Turco-Egyptian question
was near being decided the day before yesterday, with-
out the intervention of the Powers. Mehemet Ali, who
is at this moment on an excursion on the Nile for his
health, or rather to get rid of the importunities of the
Consuls-General, was on the point of being drowned
with the crews of the two boats who were taking him
and his suite to Cairo. At Cafreries-el-Maja, a gust of
wind upset both the boats. Forty persons, including
the Viceroy, disappeared for an instant under the water.
But assistance was soon rendered to the Pacha, and his
activity and presence of mind contributed in a high de-
gree towards preserving from destruction all who were
with him, and not one was lost. Mehemet Ali did not
resume his route for Cairo until he had ascertained that
all had been saved. The accounts from the army of
Ibrahim Pacha are favourable, and the malicious reports
which have been spread of a revolt in Syria are utterly
unfounded."

On Friday the Lord Alayor and Lady Mayoress
gave a grand military banquet to nearly sixty officers,
Deputy-Lieutenants, Officers of the Queen's House-
hold, &c. Every one in .:he room, with the exception
of one gentleman, was dressed in military uniform.

LATEST NEWS FROM THE MEDI-

TERRANEAN.

(From Maltese Journals received to the 12th instant.)
" The Hastinee‘s,ship of the line, left this port to jotte
the squadron on Sunday last. The Beacon was to leave
Smyrna for Athens on the 26th, where she will be joined
by the Magpie. Both these surveying vessels will be
paid off very shortly at Malta, and be recommissioned
by their respective commanders. The officers and crews
will re-enter or not at their own option. The Volcano
is at Alexandria, waiting the Indian mails,* where the
Zebra brig of war arrived on the 15th ult. Commander
Stopford immediately waited upon the Pacha, for the
purpose, as it is rumoured, of making once more an
official demand on the part of the allied Powers, that
the Ottoman fleet be restored to the Sultan, but on the '
plea of seriaus indisposition his Highness did not grant
him an audience. The Wasp sloop of war is at Gibral-
tar; the Tribune f igate and Jaseur brig- of war arc on .
the coast. of Spain, and the Talbot is on the lonian sta-
tion. The Benbow ship of the line may be hourly
looked for from Lisbon.
"By her Majesty's steamer Coefiance, which ar-
rived on Thursday from Beshika, we have accounts of
the British and French squadrons to the Gth inst., on
which day the Hydra, which left this port on the 2d j
with the despatches and London mail brought by the
Hermes from Gibraltar, had arrived, as well as the
Rhadamanthus from Constantinople, with deepetchee,
said to be of importance, from London. The Zebra
had returned from Alexandria, with a fresh (the
fourth or fifth) refusal of his Highness the Paella
to deliver up the Ottoman fleet. Her officers
report, that both the Ottoman and Egyptian fleets
had been refitted, and were in every respect ready for
sea. Indeed, it was currently rumoured that they
were shortly to leave Alexandria under the orders of
the Capitan Pacha, who may probably think it neces-
sary, when once well out at sea, to carry the Egyptian

the fleets ; and secondly, if true, as to what. is their 1
destination, object, or likely result.
" Strong gales of wind prevail at Beshika six days
out of the week. There is not much chance of the ships
wintering at Malta this year. One or two line.of-
battle ships will, it is said, remain at Beshika Bay,
whilst the rest of the squadron will seek a safer ancho-
rage at Vourla ; the French will adopt the same pre:-
dent measure, part going to Port Olivier, in the island
of 17teline, and the remainder to Smyrna:
" his latter squadron has been reinforced by another ,
liner, another frigate, two corvettes, and two brigs.
Two other steamers, another liner, and a corvette, are
still looked for from Toulon.
" The Rodney will not come down, as her new main-
mast will be sent up from this dockyard. Capts.in
Parker is to hoist a Commodore's broad pendant as
second in command, by orders from the Admiralty. P
On the arrival of the Hastings the Pembroke would
be sent to England, calling at Malta. The Minden will
be relieved by the Benbow. The Rodney and Asia •
remain out for the present.
" Lieutenant Downes has exchanged with Lieute-
nant Hutchinson of the Zebra. Beyond the Ceylon's
(flag ship of Sir John Louis). hauling out from
Senglea to the fair weather buoy, and the arrival, on
Wednesday last, of the Phoenix steamer from Eng- 1,
land and Gibraltar, we have nothing new to notice in
the way of naval movements is our port during the
past week."
The Pole:fog& 2l7olfese of the 14th inst. announces
the arrival, from Beshika Bay, on the 13th, of the Ta-
lavera ship of the line. The Confiance steamer had I
likewise arrived in Malta, having been sent off by -Ad-
miral Stopford, on receipt of the despatches brought
from Constantinople by the Rhadamanthus. There was
no appearance of any movement in the fleets. It was
reported, but not credited, that the Admirals had ob-
tained leave to enter the Dardanelles, in case the wea-
ther should,oblige them to look for shelter. A malignant
fever had appeared:among the crews of both fleets, but
with most intensity on board the French vessels. The
schoolmaster of the Implacable had fallen a victim to
the malady. One of the Lieutenants of the 'Talavera
had been tried by Court-martial, but honourably ac-
quitted. The engineer of the Confiance steamer bad
likewise been tried, and discharged from the service for
drunkenness. It was thought that the Talavera would
leave in a few days for England. The Pembroke was
also expected from Beshika Bay, where she was eo be
replaced by the Hastings.
Advises from Malta of the 16th instant mention t.llO
arrival in that island of the British war steatne r i
Phoenix, on her way to join the squadron of Admiral
Stopford, who would then have under his orders four I
steamers, three of them of 220 horse power. Tho
accounts brought from Alexandria by the Volcano,
which left that. city on the Bth, repeated that Mehemet
Ali was keeping aloof, in order to avoid communi-
eating -with the foreign Consuls. It was believed
that he was engaged in a secret negotiation with the
Divan for the adjustment of his differences with the
Sultan, without the participation of the Ambassadors,
and that a reconciliation had taken place between
him and Kosrew

donderry and his fimily were expectuti in the next
packet from that city, on their way to Naples.- The
Meg:era, from Corfu, brought intelligence of some in-
surrectionary movements in Albania. Tr.e peop!e of
Beret, displeased with the governors appointed by
Mustapha Pacha, had expelled them from seven or
eight districts, and replaced them by the sods of Omar
Pacha.. -Mustapha Pacha had incurred - eluivereatle- -
odium throughout the province, and several in- I
fluential personages who had complained of his
administration. to the Government at Constanti-
nople, obtained no answer to their complaints, had
placed themselves at the head of the insurgents. ,A!=
ban'a would necessarily remain in its present disturbed
condition until peace be concluded between the Sultan
and Mehemet Ali, for wherever discontent existed in-
trigues were to be found and a determination to raise
the revolt, in the hope of being supported by the Vice-
roy, and aware moreover that the Porte was at this
moment unable to chastise them.
* Alexandria letters stets that the Volcano was otiliged
to leave without them, the day of their despatch from
Bombay having leen:changed from the 12th to the 113th
of September.
