water will attend them ; added to which they may
expect to encounter the hostility of the Bedouins,
whose reverence for the power and government of
MEHEMET Am has been pretty well eradicated by
recent events in Syria. They have recommenced
" making a little war"on their own account, and by
the last accounts from Suez, have had the auda-
city to attack a caravan of the PACHA, and
capture acid drive off 150 camels, and to seize on a
return drove of 10 donkeys, and to carry ofr also
some of Mr. WAGlloßN's camels with goods,
money, and passengers' luggage. The amount
plundered is laid by him at 3501. to 4001. The
l'Acrin announced that the next time his cavass
proceeds across the desert with the Indian mail, he
shall be accompanied by a guard. The last batch
of passengers for India got through in safety, and
all einbatk'ed for Bombay, with the exception ut
Mrs. TURTON and family. The steamer waited
36 hours for them ; but owing to sonic mistake or
mismanagement they did not go on board.

ALEXANDrIA, DEC. 11, 1840.
Sin,—On the 7th instant the Stromboli entered the
port, having or. hoard Abdel Amin Bay (not Ahmet Bey )
and Abdcl llama Captor:, returned from their mission to
Syria without having landed there, and bearer of a letter
from Admiral Stopford to the Pacha (of which I annex a
copy) in date of Dec. 2, refusing to ratify what the Admi-
ral calls Commodore Napier's " hasty and unauthorised
convention." On the Bth inst. the Megrera steamer ar-
rived with Captain Fanshavre, flag-captain to Admiral
Stopford on board. lie brought a second letter from the
Admiral (copy annexed) dated off Cyprus, transmitting
the official authority, in the name of the Four Powers to
maintain H. H. in the P,;chalie of Egypt, provided
that within three days he agreed to restore the Turkish
fleet, and fitially to evacuate Syria. The Pacha's answer
was given last night, in which he has conceded every thing
demanded, and tILt Mre7arta left this morning for the Ad-
miral taking 11. Il.'s final decision.
These very strange proceedings have naturally caused
great excitement ; the Paella's own feelings are acutely
vouded by the disgraceful manner in which he has; been
trit!,.d with, by being led to be a party to a c:,nvciiiion
wilt Commodore Napier, for entering into which he is now
told Napier had no authority whatever. That Napier could
have taken upon himself to sign such a convention without
having the authority to do so is hardly credible, and the
upshot of this business is, consequently, looked for with
intense anxiety. N:ipier comes here with an impo-
sing force, makes direct demands upon the Pacha, which
he pretty plainly hints, verbally, list has not only the
means but the authority to enforce ; a diplomatic cur-
respondence ensues vs bleb terminates in the cession of
everything to Napier's satisfaction, and a c riventien is
cmetequentlyisigntd, which the Admiral refuses to ratify, on
the plea That Napier had no authority. The point now to
clear is what authority had Napier? or, rather, for what
purpose, and with what views was he sent here?
Eince this very untoward negotiation, Napier has not been
heard of. The Stromboli came off the port on the sth
instant, and not finding Napier here, went in search of him
with letters from the Admiral, and finally not finding him,
came into port on the 7th.
The Phaeton French steamer, which arrived here on the •
evening of the 6th instant, brought despatches from the
Government to the effect that the Pacha could hope no
further intervention on the part of France, but must accept
the terms left open to Lim by England; he has, therefore,
bad no alternative but to submit to superior force
Ibrahim Pacha is said to have arrived at Gaza, and to
be on his way to Cairo with his army—likely to arrive
there about the 15th instant. He is reported as being in
very bad heal h.

and to give satis:aetion to the minds of the population, and
allow every one to follow his occupation whether of trade

Highness,—l am very sorry to find that Commodore
Napier should have entered into a Convention with y our
Highness for the evacuation of Syria by the Egyptian
troops, which he had no authority to do, and which I can-
not approve of or ratify.
Your Highness's envoy, Abdel Amin Hey, has consulted
with the General commanding the troops, vs to his best
manner for proceeding to Ibrahim Pacha. The General
having good reason to suppose that Ibrahim Pacha had left
Damascus (a great part of his army having left it several
days since, going to the southward upon the Mecca road),
could not guarantee a safe conduct for your Highness's
envoy further than Damascus. He, therefore, returns to
Alexandria, having done all in his power to execute your
Highness's instructions.
1 hope this letter will reach your Highness in time to
step the transports which Commodore Napier writes me
ate corning from Alexandria to the coast of Syria, for the
put pose of embarking part of the Egyptian army. Should
any of them arrive here they will be ordered to return to
Alexandria.
I hope this hasty and unauthorised convention will not
occasion any embarrassment to your Highness. It was,
no doubt, done from an amicable intention, although under a
limited view of the state of affairs in Syria ; but it will
not lessen my earnest desire moat readily to adopt any
measure which may tend to a renewal of that amity and
good feeling which, I trust, will hereafter subsist between
England and your Highness, the terms of which, I am

FREE TRANSLATION OF THE LETTER OF
HIS HIGHNESS THE VICEROY TO HIS
HIGHNESS THE GRAND VIZIER
HrotlNEss—Commodore Napier, commanding the Bri-
tish forces before Alexandria, has informed me by a letter
of the 22d Norember last, that the Great Allied Powers
have requested the Sublime Porte to grant me the heredi•
tary government of Egypt on condition that I should be
prepared to restore the Ottoman fleet and make my troops
retire from Syria. After a correspondence entered into
on this subject with Commodore Napier, the con-
ditions have been accepted, arid a Convention has
has been signed with a hope on my part that the kindness
of his Highness will be extended to me. I have, in ccn-
sequence, written to my son, Ibrahim Pacha, to fall back
on Egypt with his troops, the officers employed in the
civil list, and the materiel colt •eted at Dama.4mc, and a
despatch to the same effect, through the kindness of the
Commodore, has been sent by an English steam•boat to
Syria. His Excellency, Admiral Sir Robert Stopfcrd,
Commander-in-Chief of the English fleet, has just informed •
me by a letter dated the 6th Dec. current, off Cyprus,
hot he has received an offi,ial despatch from Loral Pal-
merston with instructions, in virtue of which ho invites me
to n.. ke my submission to the Sublime Porte by restoring
the Ottoman fleet, and evacuating Syria, Adam), Candia,
Arab.a, and the Holy Cities.
Ever disposed to sacrifice all I possess, and even my
life, to conciliate the good graces of his Imperial High-
ness, and acknowledging the favours extended to me by
my Sovereign through the intervention of the Allied
Powers, I have made such arrangements that the Ottoman
fleet shall be given up to such a person and in such,a man-
ner as his Highness shall order.
The troops now in Candia, Arabia, and the Holy Cities
are ready to retire, and the evacusti,)n shall take place
without delay as soon as the order of my Sovereign shall
reach nue with respect to Syria and the district of Adana.
I have learned by a letter from IbraimPacha, dated torarth
!he close of It imaztri, and sent by lard that he was to
leave Damascus on the 4th Shawall, with all his army to
return to Egypt ; Syria in consequence is completely eva-
cuated, pnd thtts.rey submission is accomplished.
These facts' coming to the knowledge of your High-
ness, I hope that, in explaining them to our Sovereign
and master, you will intercede with his Highness to bestow
his favours upon the oldest and most faithful of his ser-
vants. I have the honour, &c.
(Signed) MEHEMET ALI.

The following is a trarrlAtion from the original Turkish
of a letter from Mehemet Ali to Sir Robert Stonfnrd:—
" Most Honourable Admiral,—l have received the two
lettets which
you addressed to ; the first through Amin
Rev, who had been charged with a despatch from my sun
Ibrahim Nein, and the second by Captain Fansnawe. I

am delighted with the friendship which you profess, and
feel bound to act in the course which you point out in your
cfficial despatch.
" I addregs in consequence a petition under open cover
to the Sublime Porte, and that you may be made ac-
quainted with the contents I add a translation in French.
I hope that my submission will be approved of by the
Allied Powers, and in requesting a continuance of your
friendship I flatter myself that your kind offices assure me
of your good will.
" I hare the honour, Ste.,
(Signed) MEHEMET ALI."

The miyullaneous news contained in the French
journals of Friday and Saturday will be found in
another part of The Sun. Rumours of a change
in the Cabinet were afloat, originating, we believe,
in the fact that Count MoLes salons Were fre-
quently crowded during the last fortnight by his
former supporters in the Chamber of Deputies.
The main object of the new Cabinet—which, it
was asserted, would include among its Members
Count MOLE as Foreign Minister and President
of, the Council, and MM. PA ssy and DuriturtE
as Ministers of Justice and Public Works—would
be to form a close alliance with 11 ussia, who has
already signified her cordial approbation of such a
measure.

The discussions on which some of our Con-
temporaries have lately entered as to the relative
value of the old aristocratic Governments of Europe
and the new democratic Government of the United
States, may receive a fresh impetus, and a steadier
guide by the results of the late election for Presi-
dent. The Philadelphia Correspondent of the
Morning Chronicle states the whole number of
vo:cs which have been actually given at 2,400,000.

That is a nbunber more than three times as great
as the number of electors who have ever voted at
an election of all the Members of Parliament in
England, Scotland, and Ireland.
Since the election began, we have looked dili-
gently over znt American papers, and, with th
exception of the charge made in New York, that
certain persons were brought from Philadelphia
and voted more than once at different polling-places
in New York, we have not seen a single
charge of bribery or corruption, or read of a
single electionenng riot. But when that charge
was carried before the Grand Jury of the city of
New York for investigation, they rejected the bill,
thus authorizing the belief that the charge was one
of those false accusations in which a losing party
generally vent some of their spleen. Whatever
else may be said against the new democracy, it is
plain from this statement that they manage their
elections, though they have the Tory-despised
ballot, with much more decency and order than we
manage ours. The result redo.unds the more to the
credit of their system, when it is remembered that

this contest has engaged all the passions of the elec-
tors, and that it has ended in changing unexpectedly
the whole administration of the country.
We find a strong proof of the interest taken in
the contest in the number of voters. The number
of votes polled at the last Presidential election
in 1836 was 1,498,885. "If you collate," says
the correspondent above referred to, " the number
of 2,400,000 votes with the populatio❑ of the
Un ion, it will be immediately seen that very few
electors who are entitled to the right of suffrage

have neglected to discharge that important duty,"
The whole population have been interested in the
question, and yet there have been no outrages.
How painfully does this contrast with our elections.
How numerous are the complaints after, every con-
tested election here, of voters compelled to violate
their conscience, and of tenants who have been
threatened threatened with ejectment. How numerous are the
accusations of bribery—many of them continually
substantiated by totes of the House of Com Mons,
and by verdicts of juries—and how frequent are
charges of violence. Looking at what
alwar 3 OC-
CUTB bete at every election, it is plain that the sys-
tem in the new democracy is infinitely superior to
our system for the preservation of peace and order.

their ma-
jority, and by the number of emigrants who have
acquired the right of citizenship. In the United
States, therefore, not only does the Government
depend absolutely on the electors, but they ..
con-
stitute a rapidly changing body.
Though this fact be only now noticed, it has
existed for many years, and yet the Government
of the United States has been more stable than
.
any Government of Europe. Since the American
Constitution was established there have been two

number of mutinies in the Russian armies. France
has had three dynasties, and been twice revolution-
ized. All the rest of Europe has been either
overrun er the Governments destroyed ; and there
is not a single State on the continent of Europe—
from Spain to Russia, which has not been turned
tory turvy, since the Government of the United
States, controlled by a fluctuating population, was
established.
England, too, which is safe from continental
irruptions, has had her Reform Act, which was a

great revolution ; and she now teems with moral
and political confusion—as witness the Chartists
and Socialists—such as the United States have
never known. The same popular system, then,
which is carried into effect with so much order,
gives stability to the Government and a uniform
direction to the public pulley.
A change similar to that now made by the
election of General HA RitisoN, and the super-
cession of Mr. VAN BUREN, was made i❑ 1828,
when General JACKSON was elected President
and Mr. QUINCY ADAMS forced to retire; but
the only change made, either in the foreign or

domestic policy of the United States, in conse-
quence, was a slow and gradual alteration in the
monetary system. Nothing like a revolution tl.en
ensued, and nothing like a revolution will now
ensue.

It appears, in fact, that the majority of the
electors for General HARRISON was only 135,000,
or one-seventeenth of the whole. A minority,
powerful from numbers, will be opposed to every
change recommended by the General's party, and
it will be forsaken by moderate Men, should it at-
tempt extreme or violent measures, and be conse-
quently unable to execute them. We have, there-
fore, in the large minority an ample guarantee, de-
rived from the principle of popular election, and
not to be found under any other form of govern-
ment, that the public policy, though the adminis-
tration, including the Mead of the executive—who
is only changed by death or a revolution in a
monarchy—is entirely changed, will be subject
to no material alteration. Can as much be
said in favour of any Government of Europe ? In
England a great change ensued when the Whigs
took,office;: and should the Tories return to power,
we shall be again exposed to a greater change than
will be caused by changing the President in the
United States.
The Post and the Times, agreeing in nothing
else, may rail in common against the democracy of
the United States, but till they can rail into obli-
vion the history of their popular Government since
it was established, they will fail to convince any
observer that it does not answer all the purposes for
which governments are said to be established, much
better than the monarchies or aristocracies of
Europe. All classes of the people, save and ex-
cept the slaves, over whom the Government has no
power, are equally protected. None are plundered
and oppressed; peace and order are preserved, at
least they exist whether they result from the Go-
vernment or not ; and the course both of the Legis-
lature and Executive, though the persons change,
is uniform and steady.

The number of the Quarterly Review recently
published, contains a judicious and sound article
on Medical Reform. We admire in it very much
a number of observations, all tending to show—and

very appropriate just now, when there is a rage for
the examination of steam-engine drivers—that
public examinations will do little towards securing
competent abilities, while it is' plain that they arc
utterly powerless to secure discretion and judgment.
Learning they can perhaps compel men to acquire,
but they cannot have the smallest beneficial influ-
ence over after conduct.

Young men (says the Reviewer, to quote one ex-
ample) may be compelled to have opportunities of
study, but they cannot be compelled to learn ; and it
is notorious that of those who have wasted their time
for two years and nine months there are many who
contrive, by means of labour and a good memory, to
learn their lesson so well by rote in the remaining three
months, that the most careful and experienced exa-
miner will find it no case matter to detect their insuf
ficiency. It is, indeed, impossible, under the very best

system of examination, to prevent a certain quantity
of base metal receiving the stamp which ought to be
impressed only on the good ; and if to this we add the
following consideration, that such an examination as
all are required to pass neither can, nor ought, to
prove more than that the individual examined has the
minimum of knowledge which a practitioner should pos-
sess,.we cannot-meg—he astonished that there should
he reasonable pefsous. who doubt the advantage of
examinations altogether ; and who regard the various
medical corporations as being nearly in the sama sit ua•
tion with the city companies, which, however useful
they may have been in nursing the infancy of British
commerce, contribute little or nothing to its advance-
, moot at the present period.

But the Reviewer, in spite of many sound re-
marks in the opposite sense, comes to the conclu-
sion, which, though it may be the correct conclusion,

is supported by arguments in which we do not
agree. He asks, for example, would our naval
officers be such as they now arc, if midshipmen
were admitted to be lieutenants without examina-

Lion ? Nothing is better known than that the exami-
nation of midshipmen for lieutenants was for many
years a mere farce, and nothing is more palpable to
common sense, than that no examination can serve
to prove that a youth possesses courage and sclf-
possession in danger, wanting which nautical
knowledge is at the most important times of no
use whatever. The captain of a ship who sees
a youngster perform his duties is infinitely better
able to decide whether he be fit to be entrusted
with the charge of a ship than any number of
other captains after the most rigid examination.
Similar remarks may be applied to our artillery
and engineer officers, who are not made what
they arc by study and examination solely, but by
practice and the discipline to which they are ex-
posed, both before and after passing their examina-
tion. Medical men launched into the world can-
not be subjected to such discipline, and the Re-
viewer makes the mistake of attributing, in the
case of artillery officers, the combined effect of
study and discipline to study alone. Considering
the immense trust placed in the hands of medical
men, certainly too much cannot be done to improve
their education, and implant in them a due sense
of the responsible duties they have to discharge ;
but we doubt whether the Reviewer has made out
a case for the interference of the State with their
education, to which he makes numerous and well-
founded objections.
We refer to the article, however, principally for
the purpose of recommending it to those, so-called,
persist ill regulating everything by
Liberals, who
legislation, whether they comprehend it or not.
They may learn from the Reviewer that they are
more likely to make themselves ridiculous than to
improve the State. If their conduct be Radicalism,
and such writing as that in the Review beToryism—
for which we confess it appears much too sensible
—the, public will soon be all Tories. No persons
have clone our cause more harm than those pro-
' fessing friends who have insisted, in the name of
Liberalism, on fastening their own uncouth re-
-1 on the amusements and occupations of the
t people.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT CIIATIIAM.—THREE
TIIOLAND POUNDS WORTH OF PROPERTY DESTROYED.—
CIIATIIASI, SUNDAY NIGHT.--This morning, about two
o'clock, it was discovered that a body of smoke was rising
from the establishment of Mr. D. West, a linen and wool-
len-draper, in fligh-street. It was with the utmost difli.
culty t',:at the inmates of the house could be awakened to
a sense of the.r impending danger. The fire had been
raging nearly three quarters of an hour before the engines
arrived. Tne military from the garrison rendered most
efficient service, under the excellent arrangements of Ad-
jutant Black. The family of Mr. West were spLnding
the holidays at thehouse of Mr. Creadall's, at Maidstone,
and it is supposed that the fire originated from a self-con-
suming stove in the shop becoming overheated, as it was
perceived at nine o'clock to be nearly red hot. The va.
luable stock in trade, it is understood, is insured in the
Pncenix Fire-office to the amount of 3,0001., but the de-
struction of property is said to far exceed that amount.
