by the Grand Seignor on behalf of Egypt teas announced
in all the correspondences. Three days afterwards the.
Pacha sent for the Consuls. and informed them that on
mature reflection he was resolved to accede to the treaty.
Without appearing to notice the surprise occ.isioned by
the announcement of this sudden change in his resolutions,
he spoke to them at great length of the measures which he
intended to adopt in his new position, and his administrative
resources. He next received his principal functionaries,
bade them adieu, and set off for Sennaar with Said Bey,
his favourite son. The order WaS then immediately given
for dismantling a portion of the Egyptian fleet.
he Garde National of Marseilles quotes a letter
from Alexandria of the 27th, announcing the arrival
at Suez of a vessel bringing an account of the death
of Lord AUCKLAND. No date is mentioned, and
altogether we look upon this rumour as wholly un-
worthy of credit.
The following are extracts from the Journals :

" Orders have been received at this port," says the
Toulonnais, " to fit out several ships. for reinforcing the
division of Buenos Ayres, under Admiral Le Blanc ; from
which it appears that Government is resolved to make a
serious attack upon that place." This confirms the report
given in our last intelligence from Toulon.

The Siecle states that the Russian Ambassador has re-
fused the offer of the French Government to remain six
months longer in his present hotel, and, by order of his
Government, has selected a smaller house in the Faubourg
St. Germain ; giving out, as this Journal adds, that it will
be quite large enough for a temporary residence.
A notice of the police has been published to-day, stating
that, considering that the average prices of flour, of the
first and second quality united, has been for the last fort-
night 65f. 95c. for the sack of flour weighing 3251b5., it is
ordered, that in consequence of the rise of flour, the price
of bread, of the best quality sold by the bakers of Paris,
shall be, from the 16th instant, 75 centimes, or 15 soli.
(Bd.) for the 41b. loaf, and so on in proportion to the
weight. _ .

FORT DE FRANCE (ON THE BAY OF STOHA), OCT. B.
The occupation of the province of Constantine is just
completed by our taking possession of a very important
point on this occasion. We are at length masters of the
roads of Stora, one of the best naval positions of Africa.
The Romans seem to have been aware of all its advantages,
for we find here considerable ruins, which prove that a nu-
merous population was formerly crowded together on this
spot. It will be very easy to make use of the walls,
which are very strong, and which may be raised on the
same foundations.

Vegetation is extremely luxuriant in the whole country :
from the Col de K, ntorse large and lofty trees fill the val.
ys, and every thing here indicates the elements of the
highest prosperity, which require only judicious and active
direction to be rapidly developed. The works executed by
the army to prepare this occupation are admirable. Con-
stantine may now be supplied with provisions at much less
expense, and this is not one oi the least important results
of the operations of Marshal Vallee.—Monitcur.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.
(THIS DAY.)

The Chief Commissioner and Mr. Commissioner BOWEN
sat to-day to hear motions.
IN THE MATTER OF THOMAS WHALLEY.—IMPORTANT
APPLICATION.—Mr. COOKE applied this morning in this
matter on behalf of the insolvent, who was a grocer at
Stafford, and who was at present a prisoner in the gaol
of that place, for a rule to show cause why the insolvent's
present petition should not be dismissed, and liberty given
him to file another. The insolvent was heard at Stafford,
and being a bankrupt within five years, and having unne-
cessarily incurred a debt, he was ordered to obtain the
consent of three-fourths of his creditors agreeably to the
64th section of the 7th Geo. IV. The insolvent had been
in custody since 1836. The effect of the present appli-
cation, if granted, would enable the insolvent to be heard
at the next Circuit of the Commissioners at Stafford. The
insolvent stated in his affidavit on behalf of the ap-
plication, that he had presented a petition to the Committee
of the House of Lords, on the-Imprisonment for Debt Bill,
which was supported by Lords Brougham and Denman,
and he believed that it was upon that petition that the
clause requiring consent within five years had been omitted
in the New Bill. The Learned Counsel said, that the
Court, some years ago, was in the habit of dismissing the
petition of persons who came twice within five years, with-
out the consent, and it would be a hardship on insolvents if
the adjournment were continued. The legislature had
been certainly more liberal in their recent exertions. There
were many persons similarly situated, and it was important
the point should be decided.
The Learned COMMISSIONERS granted the application.
