MEDITERRANEAN NEWS.

We have received Malta Papers to the sth instant,
and adrices from Constantinople and Alexandria to the
27th ult.
The subjoined naval intelligence is from the Mata
Chronicle .
" The Howe, which took her departure from Malta on
the 25th ult., reached Syracuse on the following day,
and after watering, returned here on Sunday, the 31
inst., but the Vanguard and Indus, which sailed at the
same time, and, as far as Syracuse, steered the.-same
course, stood on (stiithout making any telegraphic com-
munication) as if they were destined fur Naples or Corfu.
The Rodney from Alexandria, and Calcutta from Bey-
rout, and off Alexandria, arrived yesterday morning,
the former bringing Lieutenant P. H. Stevens, RN., to
join the flag-ship as a supernumerary, and Lieutenant
Mellersh, of the Bombay Infantry. The Hastings sails
to-day for Syracuse, to water, and the Gorgon for Athens
and Suda in Candia, with provisions for the Benbuw.
The Talbot, 26, the Magicienne, 24, and Acheron
steamer were lying in the Bosphorus on the 27th ult.
The Scout, 18, is expected to tail shortly for Suda and
Athens. The Beacon, surveying vessel, was lying at
Port Naussa, Ferns, on the 30th ult."
The Malta, Chronicle has the following from Alexan-
dria, 26th ult.:—

" The Medea is arrived from Beyrout ; she left -on
the 16th, calling at Jaffa. From the former place she
brings accounts of an affray at I)iar el Kammar, about
twenty miles from Beyrout, between the Druses and
Maronites. The bone of contention appears to have been
the shooting of two partridges out of the boundaries of
one or the other, and from a quarrel of one or two per-
sons, fomented into a general one, the opportunity being
propitious to wipe off tome old standing feud. About six
hundred combatants turned out on each side, and, not-
withstanding the strenuous exertions of Col. Rose, who
placed himself between the two contending parties, they
could not be quieted until 16 men of both sides had been
killed, and others wounded. • Upon the tail& being- known
at Beyrout a surgeon of the Inconstant was despatched
to look after the wounded. From Jaffa the news
is that there had been an engagement between the Na-
plousians and the BNlonin Arabs of the Damascus de-
sert. The latter had enticed the former from their
mountain holds into the plain, when the Bedouins made
a feigned retreat, and, by some mancevre, attacking the
Naplousians in rear, ended in their total defeat. The
number of killed on both sides is stated to be about a
thousand. The accounts we have of this affair appear
to be very imperfect."
The Malta Times has the subjoined, under the head
of Aden :--

" We are sorry to hear that serious disasters have
occurred at this new settlement. Our advices are to the
15th ult. A fire, on the sth, had burnt down live offi-
cers' houses, and the lines of the 10th Regiment. Every-
thing was destroyed, and some people injured. On the
7th a tremendous rain came down, and the mountain
streams carried away a boy into the sea. On the 11th
the Arabs attacked the town, but were repulsed. They
intended shOrtly to make another attempt in stronger
force."

Extract of a letter from Alexandria, 27th ult., in the
Malta Times :

" We hear of some quarrels among the Bedouins and
Naplousiatn, of Syria, also of an affray at Mar el Kam-
mar, near Beyrout, but they are of no political import
ante. The Cambridge, Thunderer, Inconstant, Wasp,
Hecate, and a Turkish corvett2, were at Beyrout by the
last advices. The Nile is very high, and some crops
have been damaged. by the bursting of the canals. The
Emmetje packet, during her detention of sixteen days off
Beyrout (according to :he new regulation), did not escape
fever. The Lieutenant in charge of the mails, and two
of the crew were attacked. This vessel arrived at Alex-
andria on the 13th, and sailed again on the 19th with
mails and passengers for Beyrout."

FLANDERS AND DUTCH MAIL
PESTH, SEPT. 30.—The question of mixed marriages,
which still.excites the general interest of the Nobles,
both in Hungary and Transylvania, will, doubtless, be
discussed in the Diet of Transylvania, which is .to be
opened on the 15th of November. We are here very
anxious for the resolutions which may be adopted there
on this subject. The vintage in Hungary is almost every
where. satisfactory ; but the harvest has, for the most
part, failed, and the price of corn continues to rise.
MUNSTER, OCT. 7.—We are able to affirm, from the
most authentic source, that the news published from the
Liepsic Allgemeine Zeitung (which is well known to be
not always worthy of credit), and from the F'ranit fort
Journal, respecting the ‘• resignation of the Archbishop
of Cologne' is destitute of truth.
HANOVER, OCT. 10.—On the 6th of this month the
King, attended by a brilliant staff, and accornppnied by
the Duke of Brunswick, and by Generals Von Natzmer
and Von Slockhem, reviewed the troops assembled here.
The regiments not belonging to our garrison leave us to-
day to return to their quarters. The Duke of Bruns-
wick returned yesterday to his capital, when he will go
to Blackenburgh, where his Majesty, the Ring, will
shortly pay a visit. The former Generals leave Hanover
to-day.
BRUSSELS, OCT. 14.—The King set out this morning
for his seat at Ardenne, accompanied by M. Conway,
Secretary to the Civil List.
The great establishment of the Typographic Society,
Auguste Wahlin, and Co., was entirely destroyed by fire
this morning.
The Journal des_ Flanders has information to the effect
that the French Government is disposed to revoke the
late decision which so unjustly affects our linens, and the
effect of which the commerce of Belgium must have
already felt.
