ALEXANDRIA, JULY 6.—Nothing new since the de-
Partare of the Envoys to Constantinople in the Nile
tamer, with the Pacha's official acceptance of the me-
-24%1 hatti scheriff. Said Bey, the Paella's younger
ma., did proceed in the Boulac steamer to Constantino-
;-,,91', accompanied by Sami Bey. Valuable presents are
to be with them, which, no doubt., judiciously ap-
plied,
ce4, will produce an' alteration in the amount of tri-
bute. Conjecture is rife as to Said Rey's errand—that he
twill be made a Pacha is likely—and:people go so far as
o That
he will geu one of the Sultan's sisters for a wife.
'"at would not be a bad move, in the present position of
fairs in Turkey.
%tbrahim Pacha is in Alexandria, making a bargain
::Ith some of the merchants for the produce of his lands
In the shape of 80,000 ardebs of barley and beans. Free
trade is just where it was—in the distance. The Nile
Is rising favourably. Plague ceased.
....Latest dates—Bombay, May 22 ; London, June 15 ;
Marseilles, June 91 ; Constantinople and Malta, June 27.
July 5. The Pacha's steamer Nile left this on the
hat ult. with Muhib Effendi and the other Turkish
(dicers, and 250,000 dollars on account of tribute. His
Highness gave 1,000 purses to Muhib Effendi, and 300
to his followers. On the Ist inst. the Hadji Baba started
also for Constantinople with Said Bey and Sami Bey
(\La" of Mehemet Ali). The first to show the Sultan his
_,9P Pacha's) confidence in him, and the latter to arrange
nil minor details.
In a few daye a vessel is to be despatched with five
Arabian horses and a rhinoceros for the Sultan, and a
Jew presents for his Ministers.

CONSTANTINOPLE, JULY 7.—The Egyptian steamer
the Nile, announced several days ago, arrived yester-
. morning, Thursday, having on board his Excel
itcy Said Muhib Effendi, Envoy Extraordinary of the
Sunblime Porte in Egypt, and Kiamal Effendi, bearer
to Alexandria of his Highness's last hatti scheriff. On pass
tng before the Pointe du Serail the Nile fired a salute
of twenty -one guns, which was returned by an Ottoman
frigate at anchor before Top Kauhe. She afterwards
*, anchored at the entrance of the port. In the course of
the day she came to the Lazaretto to land the above-
named functionaries, who are to go into quarantine
twelve days. She then left and took up her station in
,the harbour.
4.._This steamer had also on board five millions of pins-
`'."sl, sent by the Paella of Egypt to the Sublime Porte,
°4 eccount of the annual tribute, and was also commis-
ned to announce the arrival of the Pacha's son, Said
~ who, accompanied by Sarni Effendi, the Pacha's
morning,
secretary, came in yesterday, at seven in the
Zbrnie,,, on board the Egyptian Government steamer,
..`ue Rechit. They were received with the usual salute,
alld the steamer ran up the Asiatic bank of the Bospho-
rus to Silvi Bornou, above Couleli, where rich tents had
been prepared for the suite; who are to perform quaran-
tine here.
Said Be is to present the Sultan some presents from
Mehemet Ali. f the greatest magnificence.
Amongst other things, several superb Arabian horses;
a is also the bearer of rich presents to some of the high
functionaries of the empire, who contributed to the solu-
. It is of the difference between the Sultan and his father.
is generally believed that one of the principal objects
°` this mission is to obtain the reduction of the tribute ;
,11e thing is certain, Said Bey is the bearer of a letter
'Coin his father to the Grand Vizier, in answer to that
sent him by the latter at the same time as the hatti-sche-
1r concerning the Government of- Egypt. In the letter
'teheinet Ali, after an enumeration of the conditions im-
iped upon him, assures himself determined to conform
tereto. in all, and for all, and ends by the greatest pro-
stations of devotedness and gratitude.
011 Friday the Ministers and the public functionaries
of
the empire went to the Grand Vizier's house, where
Zia met in Council Extraordinary. This meeting, which
Zia not break up till late at night, referred to the de-
t" of Mehemet Ali on the reduction of the tribute.
_ls generally believed that this diminution is a quarter
‘n the total amount of the tribute, fixed now at
330
10°43,000 piastres instead of 40,000,000. This de.?.isien
be rendered public as soon as it has been sanctioned
o
byhis highness.

The Car sfort and Weazle were at Corfu on the 7th
lkitant.
Majesty's steam frigate Gorgon, Captain Render-
soll, arrived here on Saturday last from Alexandria,
Where
she has been stationed for three months for diplo-
stie purposes and protection of British interests at that
Port, her Gallant Captain received the most flattering
attention from his Highness the Pacha, who exhibited
many
,1 proofs of his marked esteem towards him. His
igliness has refused to give up the Syrian soldiers
_ ordered to do sobyhis master, the Sultan. He has
tlered to put down the insurgents in Candia at a mo-
•v
Incrit's notice, by sending 20,000 men to amuse them.
e have not heard, however, if this offer has been ac-
'epted.
The officers of the Gorgon gave a splendid fete to the
British residents, in return for the kind feelings and hos-
- itahle conduct evinced towards them now as on every
former visit, and which forms so prominent a feature in
the character of that truly hospitable and gay community.
L understand the Gorgon is to return so soon as she
she has some defects made good, when she anticipates
kith much pleasure that that dreadful barrier to social
intercourse, plague, will have quite disappeared ; no cases
having occurred for some days before her departure.
• The Dido arrived at Smyrna from Salonica onthe 28th
and left again for Malta on the 2d inst.
The Britannia, flag of Admiral Ommanney, Howe and
anguard, are expected to sail on Saturday_ next. Their
destination is not known, but is supposed they will pro-
ceed to Carfu, one of them calling at Sicily.

SPAIN.
OFFICIAL REPORT ON THE LATE ALGESIRAS

AFFRAY.
The ofli-Aal report of the captain of the felucca Vigi-
lante, in the attack of the revenue cutter under his com-
mand, by two smuggling vessels in the bay of Algesiras,
is as folio ,vs
" The felucca Vigilante, cruising between Tuscara
and Santa Barbare, at 9, P.M., perceived in her waters
another felucca, accompanied by a smaller craft ; the
felucca, on being hailed, gave her name. Her reply
to another question was a discharge of fire-arms on
the crew of the Vigilate, and at the very moment
that the seaman Pedro Porque fell mortally wounded,
the following words were distinctly pronounced :
' Let us board and kill all the men of the company.'
Ten or twelve men then leapt on board the Vigilante,
armed with swords and carbines and in the meanwhile
the other craft came up, and the crew shouted aloud
Death to all, quarter to none.' I had, says the com-
mander of the Vigilante, but 11 men on board, and al-
though we had to deal with 30 men at least, I raised the
war-cry of Isabel 11., and my brave men, in answer to my
appeal, commenced a terrible struggle—man to man.
After a few minutes' affray six smugglers who still re-
sisted, seeing their comrades fall, asked for quarter, which
was instantly granted them. Being thus freed from those
who boarded me, I began to give chase to the two ves-
sels, and I succeeded in capturing the smaller or.e, which
was laden with tobacco. The crew succeeded in swim-
ming ashore, the coast being at no great dis-
tance. The great felucca escaped, and got into the
English waters ; but I heard distinctly the groans of the
six wounded men she had on board, and I have since
heard that she landed at Gibraltar five men wounded,
and three dead bodies. The smugglers kept up a heavy
fire of musketry from the shore. The felucca had on
board 2,850 lbs. of tobacco, 12 sabres, 10 carbines, one
smuggler killed, two grievously wounded, and four
prisoners taken on board, for they had all boarded us. We
have to deplore the death of the seaman Pedro Porque,
and have three slightly wounded.
