MET ALI.

(From the Morning Herald.)
We have received from Paris the following memorandum
declaratory of the course which the Four Powers have icit
it free for Mehemet Ali to adopt, to obtain his reconcilia-
tion with the Sultan :-
1‘ MEMORANDUM.

" The instruction addressed to Lord Ponsonby, on the
15th of October last, at the close of a deliberation between
the Plenipotentiaries of Austria, Great Britain, Prussia,
and Russia, has declared the opportunity which existed for
the representatives of the Fuur Courts at Constantinople
being authorised to announce to the Sublime Porte that
their respective Governments, conformably to the stipula-
tions of the separate act annexed to the convention of
the 15th July, believe it to be their duty to recommend
strongly to the Government of his Highness that in case
Mehemet Ali should submit without delay, and consent
to restore the Ottoman fleet, and withdraw his troops
from the whole of Syria, from Adana, from Candia,
from Arabia, and from the Holy Cities, his Highness
should deign, not only to reinstal Mehemet Ali in his
functions as Pacha 'of Egypt, but, at the same time, to
grant him the hereditary investiture of the said pachalic,
according to the conditions established by the convention
of the 15th of July, it being clearly understood that this
hereditary title might be subject to be revoked if Mehe-
met Ali, or any of his successors, should infringe the said
conditions. i

" The utility of addressing to the Sublime Porte a
communication conceived in the sense set forth has been
unanimously recognised by the Four Courts. Neverthe-
less, in order still further to make apparent the just con-
sideration due to the rights of his Highness, the Cabinet
of Vienna has been of opinion, that the advice which the
representatives of the Four Courts should be called upon
to address to the Divan, relative to the reintegration of
Mehemet Ali in the pachalic of Egypt, ought not to be
given at Constantinople until after Mehemet Ali shall have
begun by seeking favour with his Sovereign, and submit-
ting himself to the decisions of his Highness.
" Taking' into consideration that this opinion of the
Cabinet of Vienna serves to declare anew the respect
which the Courts which signed the Convention of the 15th
July bear towards the inviolability of the rights of sove-
reignty and independence of the Sultan ; consi iering,
moreover, the necessity for bringing the present crisis of
the Levant promptly to a pacific solution, conformably to
the true interests and to the dignity of the Porte—the
Plenipotentiaries of the said Courts have resolved with one
common accord to adopt the course indicated, in order
that the return to favour and the submission of Mehemet
Ali might precede the friendly step which the allied repre-
sentatives will be charged to make to dispose the Porte to
grant its pardon to Mehemet Ali.
" l this view, desiring as much as possible to accelerate
the moment in which these steps may be taken at Constanti-
nople, the Plenipotentiaries of the Four Powers have consi.
dered it opportune to indicate, without the least delay
to Mehemet Ali, the road which is yet open to him to re-
tl2rn to favour with his Sovereign, and to obtain his reinte-
gration in the Pachalic of Egypt, notwithstanding the de-
cisive events which have declared themselves against him,
"In consequence, it has been agreed by a common
accord that Admiral Stopford should receive, to this effect,
from the Government of her Britannic Majesty, the neces-
sary instructions, which would be communicated to the
Plenipotentiaries of the Courts of Austria, Prussia, and
Russia, to be made known to their Cabinets.
" It has, moreover, been agreed to communicate to the
Ambassador of the Sublime Porte, Chekib Effendi, the
present memorandum, as well as the instruction which is
annexed to it.
