ROYAL DECREE.

" Her Majesty the Queen Regent, having resolved
to estahlish puce and tranquillity, and to omit no
means whatever of satisfying the wishes of the people,
and confiding in the loyalty and ratriotism of the Duke
de la Victoria, has been pleased to name him President
of the Council of Ministers, without a portfolio, that he
may continue at at present at the bead of the army. It
is also her M2jesty's wish that the Duke de la lic-
toria should name the Ministers who are to form the
new Cabinet, and that he will propose their names with
all possible despatch, in order that the Royal decres
fir their appointment may be immediately issued.

" JAVIER iiSPIROZ."
The decree is published with the following remarks
of the Junta of INIAti;I:—

The Juata having just received several copies of the
official bulletin of 'Valencia, conveyed by a courier on
Isis return to Madrid, h-sten to lay their contents before
the pub:ic with tht following: remarks :
" Tbe appointment of the; pacificator of Spain, the
Duke 41.0 la Victoria, with full powers to take those
measures required for the felicity of the Spanish nation,
cannot otherwise than inspire the deepest confidence in
the minds of the members of this Junta, certain that they
shall see fully satisfied the wishes of the people so so-
lemnly manifested. In the meantime, however, and
until the hero of Luchana makes himself acquainted
with those wishes thoroughly, this Junta, as the inter-
preter of the national will, and to indicate the exigences
of the day, give the following explanation of their pro-
gramme:—

" 1. That her Majesty issue a manifesto, reprobative
of the conduct of the traitors by whom she has been de-
ceived, and the peace of the country put in jeopardy.
"2. That she separate for ever from her side all the
high functiunaries of the palace and other persons who
have advised her to the system of reaction hitherto
pursued.

"3. That the new municipal law be annulled.
"4. That the present Cortes be dissolved, and a
new one assembled, with special powers to secure in a
soli.' ::::anner all the consequences of the present glorious
revolution.

"5. That they shall not lay down their arms until
they see all tlwsn conditions fulfilled."

Five per Cents. to-day, 25 13-16 for cash.

Important advices from Alexandria, of the 7th
instant, and from Constantinople of the same date,
have just have been received. On the morning of
the sth inst., the second ten days having expired,
the Consuls of the Four Powers waited on the
PACHA at his Palace, but his HIGHNESS refused
to see them on account of indisposition. They
were, however, received by his Prime Minister,
BOGHOS BEY, and his Private Secretary, SAMI
BEY, who told them that the VICEROY had no
other communication to make to them than what
he had made on the 2&h of August—namely,
zhat he would accept the Paellalies of Syria and
Acre for life, and deliver up to the SULTAN Can-
dia„ Adana, the Holy Cities, and the fleet ; and
fOrthermore, that he had forwarded to Constanti-
*Ple ‘a. respectful memorial to-the SULTAN, by
Couuo*.A.LiiKr; praying that these terms' might
he accepted by his Imperial Master. The Minis-
ters of the VICEROY added, that his HIGHNESS
had nothing to do with the Four Poweis, and
wou!d yield nothing to them ; but that, in the
event of hostilities, all foreigners remaining in
Alexandria and other parts of his dominions, might
depend upon enjoying his protection. The Consuls
withdrew, Col. HODGES, the British Consul-Gene-
ral, having signified that on the following day he
would strike his flag and go on board the Cyclops.
The other Consuls were likewise ready to take down
their flags, and it was reported that they would all
have quitted Alexandria, with the exception of the
French Consul, on the Bth instant at the latest.
Admiral STOPFORD landed at Alexandria-on
the 31st ult., where he remained till the four Con-
suls had received the final answer of the PACHA.
MEMEMET ALI received him most graciously,
and invited him to dine with him, but his High-
ness was obliged to countermand the invitation in

consequence of Iris sufferings from Nile-boils—a

distemper common to persons of every rank at cer-
tain seasons in Egypt. On being applied to by
British merchants for instructions as to how they
should act, Admiral STOFFORD frankly admitted
that he was without any orders on the subject, and
confined himself to repeating the warnings of Co-
lonel HODGES. When the final answer of the
VicEnoY was given, the Admiral sailed for Bey-
lout with the Princess Charlotte and the Bellero-
phon to j(-1 the squadron of Commodore NAPIER,
lea:•ing the Asia and Implacable to protect British
interests at Alexandria.

It was understood that the Papin steamer, which
carried Count WALEWSKI to Constantinople,
brought despatches from the French Government
to M. DE PONTOIS, the French Ambassador, in-
structing his Excellency to support the petition of
MEMEMET ALI with all his influence. It is
likewise stated that this mediation on the part of
France was formally demanded by the VICEROY,
who affected not to conceal from the French Con-
sul that his present embarrassment arose from lis-
tening to the suggestions of the French Cabinet.

The accounts from Constantinople represent the
Porte as greatly elated by the progress of events.
The refusal of the PACHA to accept the first ulti-
matum of the Four Powers delighted the Divan, the
members of which are eager to see him stripped of
all his dominions. Oa the 3d inst. a Grand Council
was held at the house of the SCHEI K-AL-IS LA M, in
consequence of the information of MEHEMET AL I'S
first refusal to accede to the condition:, of the Cul,
ference of London, and MEHEMET ALI was de-
clared therein to be dispossessed of his Government
of Syria, and the following appointments were con-
sequently made :
" His Excellency Izzet Mehemet Paella, Tehanak
Kalessi Mouhafizi, Governor of the Dardanelles, is ap-
pointed Akkia Vah,ssi, Governor of St. Jean d'Acre,
and replaced at the Dardanelles by 162 Excellency
Ibrahim Paella, with the title of Miri Liva, General of
Brigade.

"-His Excellency Hadgi Ali Paella, Konia Mus-
chiri, Governor of Konieh, is appointed Scharr Valessi,
Governor of Syria—that is to say, of Damascus and
Tripoli—and replaced by l.is Excellency Eyouls PaO)a.
" His Excellency Essad Paella, Sivas Muschiri, Go-
vernor of Sias, is named Haieb Muschiri, Governor of
Aleppo. F 1 is replaced by his Excellency Hurndi
Pacha, who latterly fulfilled the office of Ferik of the Di-
arbskir.

" His Excellency Izvt Pacha, Ferlk of Brousse,
is appointed Adana Illouhafizi, Governor of Adana and
`('arsons, and replaced at Brousse by his Excellency
Sheriff Paella.

" His Excellency Moustafa Pacha, Guirit Moulia-
fizi, Governor of Candia, is confirmed in his office.
" His Excellency Ali Riga Pacha, Muschir of Bag-
dad, is likewise confirmed in his office, and to his Go-
vernment is also added that of the district of Djide."

The
,felva which declares MEHEMET ALI to
he deprived of his rights to the Government of
Syria, and authorises war against him, has been
given by SCIEIK-AL-ISLAM, and read in all the
mosques. The reading of that document, in which
are given in detail the reasons which have induced

his -Highness to have recourse to such extreme
measures with respect, to the Viceroy of EGYPT,
has produced everywhere the greatest sensation.
The Austrian Internuncio had a meeting at his
residence of some of thq principal merchants of his
nation, in order to prevail upon them, under ex-
isting circumstances, to suspend their shipments for
Egypt and Syria.

It is stated that his Excellency IzZET PACIIA,
who is appointed to the Government of Saint Jcaz
d'Acre, is to leave very shortly for Syria, on board
one of the steamers of the Danube Company.
Count WALEWSKI only arrived at Constanti-
nople on the 7th inst—the date of these advices:.
The news from the Syrian coast is highly interest-
ing, and will be found in another part of The Sun.

The Paris Journals of Friday and Saturday are
principally occupied with the Eastern question, and
the military preparations to which its various com-
binations is giving rise in France, Russia, Turkey,
and Egypt.
This is the day fixed for the trial of Prince
Louis NAPOLEON and his accomplices. On
Friday the nineteen prisoners were permitted to see
each other for the first time. The interview was
said to be very affecting. Even the spectators
were moved to tears, as the PRINCE embraced his
companions in folly and misfortune.
Our commercial readers will find in another
column a Royal decree for reducing the Customs
duties, which will be read with lively interest.

At this mcment peace depends on the English Ca-
binet. The motive which occasions the meeting of the
Council of Ministers at London to-morrow, is not cal-
culated to make us easy. Lord Palmerston has con-
voked it, in order to get himself authorised to send the
Russian fleet to the Mediterranean. He knows that
the Parliament will not grant him money to make war
on Mehemet AN, and he desires to make use of the
forces of Russia ; this is playing a game dangerous to
England and to Europe. We shall see whether Lord
Melbourne will suar himself to be taken in the snare.
At nil events, the French Government is forewarned.
P.S.—We arc assured this evening that Lord Pal-
merston w.ll not venture to propose to the Council to
send for the Russian fleet, and that it is not he who has
caused the summoning of the Council of Ministers,
which is not to meet till Monday.—Courrier Francais.
We find the following notice in the Counier of the
Lower Rhine, 'printed at Strasburg, of the date of
September 23 :

" Private letters received to-day announce, as we
arc ;assured, that the German Government have just
prohibited the exportation of horses."
M. f;Loeve Wiemar, who is appointed Consul-Ge-
neral at Bagdad, embarked on the 21st at Marseilles,
in the Minos steamer, for Alexandria, whence he will
roceed to his post.—Le Couslitutionnel.
BOURSE.—PARIS, SATURDAY, SEPT. 26.

ALDERMAN HARMER AND THE FREEMASONS.-It
will be seen from a paragraph in another pert of the
paper that a meeting of Freemasons was held at Radiey's
Hotel on Saturday evening, when a resolution was
unanimously carried calling upon all the craft to rally
rot:nri him, on the ground of his services to their body.
We believe it to be one of the great recognised prin-
ciplesof M,lsocry to defend a brother when calumniated.

Alderman Harmer is now sal:—public opinion has
eLcted everything. If it had not, the high honour of
the Aldermen it was intended to bring forward as his
opponents has inLeed them indignantly to refuse to be
tne cat's paws of merely personal squabbles. Honour,
we say, to Aldermen Thomas Johnson and Pirie. Long
before these gentlemen knew that public opinion so ex
pressed itself as it Cid on Friday night, they, bad de-
clared their intention not to stand against Alderman
Hornier. This is as it should be. The Aldermen
know, from their colleague's former conduct, that there
is no reason whatever to imagine that, as Lord Mayor,
he will act differently to the way be has acted hitherto.
No party influences have previously operated upon him
to prevent his being a good Alderman and a good
Sheriff and Magistrate, and they cannot imagine that
anything in the Weekly Dispatch can affect him after-
wards more than such a newspaper can have done pre-
viously. It is also discovered that many of those who
have opposed Alderman Harmer, have nothing to do
with the election, while there is an equal number of
the leading Conservatives come forward in his favour
to that of the Advertiser.
REVIVAL OF THE TEST AND CORPORATION ACTS.
—WC learn, with astonishment, that the present Pro-
vost of Edinburgh, Sir James Forrest, and some other
pretended liberals, are determined to oppose Mr. Adam
Black as candidate for the office of Chief Magistrate,
on the ground that he is a Dissenter. These worthies
are of opinion that "a Dissenter ought at present to he
deemed inadmissible to the office of Chief Magistrate !"

IMPORTANT NEWS FROM

MEXICO.

(From R Third Edition of the Morning Post.)
HAVItE, SEPT. 25, Eight p. m.—The Utica, New
York liner, arrived here to day, having left New York
on the 3d instat.t, two days later than the President.
She brings important intelligence from Mexico, stating
that the revolution there was at an end. It broke out
on . the 15th, and there was more or less fighting be-
tween the contending parties till the 26th. On the 23(1,
at the solicitation of the Archbishop, a compromise
was made by the insurgents (under General Urrea) and
commissioners were appointed on both sides to con-
fer, but they were unable to r.gree. Fighting, there-
fore, was resumed tiil the 26th ; on the evening of that
day the Archbishop waited on the President Busta-
mcnte, and entreated him to stop the further effusion of
blood, by granting the insurgents suitable gnarantees
for their safety. At eleven o'clock the same night a
convention was signed by the Commissioners of the con-
tending parties. The insurgents were pardoned, and
allowed to depart with all the honours of war. •
TEXAS.—An extract from the Cannier of Galveston,
of the 12th of August announces that they had re-
ceived an account from Matagorda, dated the 9th inst.,
stating that a corps of 2,500 Mexican and Cherokee
Indians had invaded Texas and burned the small
towes of Vittoria, Dimmits,', and Lu-.evi:le. A captain
and a major bad been killed, and the wife of the former
