t.:PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
(From the Times.)
The propositions of Mehemet All, with which Rifat
Bey was lately despatched from Alexandria, were con-
strued
by the Four Powers into a refusal of the terms
which had been offered him ; and accordingly his depo-
sitisin from the Government of Egypt was immediately
proclaimed. This was certainly a measure of extreme
violence, more than was required, perhaps more than
was justified by the conditions of the treaty of July,
and extremely impolitic, because calculated to increase
the ill-humour and discontent which already prevail in
France. It must not, however, be imagined that the
sentence of deposition is really intended to be carried
into execution ; it is the weapon usually drawn out of
the diplomatic armoury of the Porte against her re-
bellious Pachas ; but in this instanee it is evidently in-
tended to employ it as an instrument of intimidation,
and for the accomplishing the great object of the
treaty. France, of course, is aware of the real state of
the ease, but we see nothing in the facts, or in the pro-
bable view which the French Government may take
of them, likely fo disturb that substantially good un-
derstanding which emits between France and England.

(From tile Morning Chronicle. )
The bombardment and taking of Beyrout by a Turkish
force aided' by English. and Egyptian vessels of war,
and the deposition of Mehemet Ali by firman of the
Sultan, may be deemed fortunate events. The Pacha
will now seq that the Allies are in earnest ; and, as the
Sultan has named no suceeesor to him in Egypt, as if
with a view of leaving a locus penitenthr, Mehemet
Ali, instead of farther provoking the Allies, may throw
himself on their mercy, and solicit their good offices for
his restoration to Egypt. But be this as it may, the
Reiner the Egyptians are driven out of Syria the better.
One of the contingencies with whiob our neighbours,
the French, endeavoured to alarm us, namely, the
march of Ibrahim on Constantinople, is now out of the
question. Employment will be found for his forces it
Syria. If the inhabitants of the Lebanon, unable longer
t) support the oppression of Mehemet Ali,lately rose in
insurrection and besieged Beyrout, it would be strange if
the y were not to avail themselves of the opportunity and
encouragement afforded them by the presence of the
forces of the allies. The number of troops landed ap-
pars to him been between 7,000 and 8,000. We
do not suppose that of this number more than 400
were British marines, and 100 Austrians ; but the
moral effect of even this small auxiliary force would he
great on the Turks. The details given in the evening
-papers of Paris, in addition to the account in the
Moniker, are few and unimportant. When we receive
the particulars of the affair, it wiil, we have no doubt,
be found that the reduction of the town to ashes by a
bombardment is the language of exaggeration. This
arair of I.l,lrout is in accordance with the stipulations
of the treaty of the 15th of July, and it proves that they
who entered into that treaty intended in good earnest to
give effect to it. There is nothing in the affair to
etr i&e exception can possibly be taken. The Sultan
has an unquestionable right to remove an officer
with whose conduct be is dlssatitfied, and to avail him-
self of the rid of his allies in carrying his purpose into
e' et. Frat oe may, for particular reasons, have re-
in a d to be a party to the adoption of coercive means
ag siust Mehemet Ali ; but when these means shall have
beett adopted by the Allies, and crowned with success,
it is impossible that. France can with justice take
offense at what has been done. The Sultan might,
will, as much reason, take effsnce at the dismissal of
a Prefect by Louis Philippe, as Louis Philippe take
'offence at the Sultan's removing a refractory Pacha.
When a treaty like that of the 15th of July has
once been concluded, it cannot be too quickly carried
into effect. We, therefore, have no hesitation in ex-
Presseg our satisfaction at the affair of Beyrout.
Dc:ay multiplies the chances of collisions, and eneou-
ragss to attempts which a prompt execution prevents
being thought of. Being sincerely desirous of the conti-
nuance of peace, we naturally wish as a speedy termi-
nation as possible to a state of things out of which
alone skoious misunderstandings can arise. What-
ever may be the ino;inations of France with reference.
to Mehemet 10, that power was sorely puzzled to find
reasons for quarrelling with the execution of the treaty
alicr'it had taken place. When we stated on Friday,
that effect- would unquestionably be given to the treaty,
we merely gave Ministers credit for common sense
and erdinary prudence. A Government ought to weigh
ste:l the consequences cl such a treaty before entering
into it, bet having, once entered into it, an oblige-
' tion is contracted towards tl e other parties which ex-
endoe tae idea et fretdern on the part of any of them,
to give or not to give cifeet to its stipulations. It must
always be the wish of this country to conciliate France
by acceding to any rasona le demand on the part of
that Po,ver. That wish to conciliate was abundantly
manifested before concluding the treaty of 15tli July.
But neither England, nor signed
with of the Powers who
with her the J
treaty of Jule, row deliberate, as to thndeed,, were any of theme
giving full OfTect to it.. And, i
inclined to deliberate, the affair of Beyrout proclaims in
the moat emphatic manner that the
etime for it is gone
by. The sword is fairly ul'sn

Lord Palmerston's note on the negotiations for the

in our loading • twin.' (.‘" Saturday, is, upon the I

a eleareand Satisfactory document. It puts the whole
affair of the negotiation- upon record in very distinct andintelligilde .
terms, and it, shows, beyoad all possibility of
Controversy, that the F;ench have nothing like justice
on their in the present elnraour for war. The only
matter for regret which we find in the document is the
edaiiss.am that fora moment the Allies were willing to
thange the hasie of their policy which they laid down
at the commencement. The original intention of
