" ALEXANDRIA, Nov. 7.
" Yesterday Mehemet Ali received news from Ibrahim,
dated Zahle, the 2t3th of October. He had sufficient troops
under his command, and expected to commence offensive opera-
tions. Four English steam-boats and a frigate bad commenced
bombarding St. Jean d'Acre on the Ist of November. Alex-
andria enjoys the most perfect tranquility.' "
The Courier de l'Ain of the 2d of November says--" According
to the official information collected up to this day the number of
houses fallen down in the Littoral, in consequence of the late in-
undation is 1,094, besides 106 houees much damaged, snaking a
total of 1,200." Conslituti,nuct. -

Nothing was known on 'Change of the debate on the address, but it
was known that the Government had received the confirmation of
the taking of St. Jean d' Acre, and this news being considered by
-the speculators as likely to hasten the conclusion of the affairs of
the East, caused a rise in the funds. It was considered, however,
,that even with peace, there would be a heavy- account to
settle. There was even a report of a project of law
to be p esented by M. Humann after the debate on the address for
contracting a loan, the amount of which is stated by the Gazette de
France at 300 millions. Such a notice affords matters for reflec.
Lion. What will it be if we rely on the speech of Marshal Soult,
who promises us an armed peace?
According to accounts from Toulon, the eleven ships of the line,
comprising the squadron of Admiral Hugon, left the Hicres island
on the '2lst at ten in the morning, to return to. Toulon. The
Cyaore corvette of the navy of the United States of North America,
cast anchor at Toulon on the 21st, coming from Port Mahon.—Le

to Mr. ▪
\V., but leaped down into the ditch upon something
which proved to be the body of its master. On ap-
proaching nearer, Mr. Walker found the dog sitting
upon the shou!der of Mr. G., who was lying toith his
head towards the bottom of the ditch, and his tare in the
water, which Was very shallow—not more than four or
five inches deep. He was quite dead, and appeared to
have been so some time. The ditch where Mr. G. was found
lies between the houses of Messrs. John and William
Walker, at a short distance from each, and half a mile
or more from Mr. Goundrill's. It appears that about
three o'clock the same a:ternoon, another dog of Mr.
Goundrill's was seen at Mr. William Walker's, (who was I,
an intimate friend and partner cif Mr. G.'s.) It first
went to the kitchen window, arid appeared anxious to
excite attention. The servant-girl at length drove it
away, whereupon it ran round to the other side of the
house, and rearing itself up, looked in at the window of
another room, where a servant-limn was seated, and would
not stir until he came out, It then ran off a score yards
or so, and stood in CO attitude which perfectly indicated its •
desire that the man should follow, which he did, but ai he
approached the dogran forward a few yards, and again stood.
This it did four or live times, the man following„ until the dog •
stopped at, a gate, when the man, wring no reason for this
' extraordinary conduct on the part of the d,g, gave up the
pursuit,
and he saw the dog no more. The gate at which
the dog stopped, it afterwards appeared, led to the spot
where Mr. Goundrill was lying. Mr. G. had, it also ap-
pears, gone out in the forenoon about eleven o'clock, ac-
companied by the two dogs ; and is
it the opinion of the
medical men who examined the corpse, that he had been
seized with a fit and fallen into the ditch, the small quan-
tity of water in which happening to cover his mouth and
nostrils, had caused suffocation before he recovered from
the fit. It is remarkable that the deg which went in quest
of assistance was the largest, and which, having the long_
est legs, was must likely to effect the purpose with the
least delay. It is supposed thsst they had both remained
with their toaster a cousitlcrable tia c aiEL r lie had fallen
into the ditch, and their subsequent proceedings exhibited
something not unlike a mutual understanding between 1
them.—Hull Paper. 1,1
