THE CAMP OF !BRAHIM PACHA.

This chief was, by the last accounts, ztZacchally, a
village situate on the plain of Boccah, immediately
under the range of the hills of Lebanon. It would appear
that he has with him both Soliman and Hussein Pachas,
and that their combined forces do not exceed 12,000 in-
fantry and 2,000 cavalry, and not more than from twelve
to fifteen field pieces. The new Emir Bcehir is at El
Ilarby. Provided he be accompanied by Commodore
Napier and 1,000 British Marines, he oars to descend at
once and give Ibrahim battle ; or he would do so without
the Commodore, with a reinforcement of 5,000 Otto-
mans, as many additional muskets, and a dozen or two of
field pieces, which would imply that the Commodore is a
host of himself, to say nothing of the artillery and small
arms 1 Abdalla, the brother of the Emir, is at Hamona,
with 2,000 infantry and 500 cavalry kmountaineers).

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
MALTA, Nov. 95

The Asia arrived on the 21st instant from Alexandria,
after a long passage of 21 days, having anchored in the
Bay of Kolo Kythia, in the southern extremity of the Mo-
rea. She returns to the Levant as soon as she gets newly
masted and refitted. Mr. Robert Anderson, R.N., master
of the Ariadne coal depot at Alexandria, with the crew of
this vessel, are On board the Asia. The Hastings received
pratique yesterday, and will be hove down and have her
damages made good forthwith. The Acheron steamer
left for Gibraltar on the 19th instant, with the mail for
that place and England, and will, on her return, bring
those from London of the 14th inst. On the arrival from
Alexandria of the contract steam-ship Oriental, with the
India mails expected about the 28th inst., the Alecto now
ready for sea will be despatched to Marseilles, there to
await the London overland mails of the sth proximo.
The Euphrate French war steamer, which arrived from
St Jean d'Acro and Alexandria on the 17th inst., proceeded
on her voyage from Toulon, after coaling on the 20th
inst., and the Calcutta sailed yesterday morniog for the
Bay of Nlarmorice, where it is expected she will find the
Admiral. Several individuals of the suite of the Emir
Bechir returning to Syria, were granted a passage in her.
The Beacon surveying sloop was to leave the Pit eels of
Athens on the 231 init., and may therefore be looked for
early next week, as well as her tender the Magpie. Both
vessels will remain at Malta until the end of March next.

The Cyclops, war-steamer, arrived yesterday afternoon,
having left St. Jean d'Acre on the 15th, and Beyrout on
the 18th inst., bringing, besides invalids from the squa-
dron, his Highness the Emir Megid (another son of the
Emir Bechir) with his suite, but no-news of importance,
though we understand some serious casualties have hap-
pened among the officers and seamen of the squadron,* by
an explosion of powder at Acre on the 6th inst., of which
we have not yet been able to collect the particulars. The
news brought from Alexandria by the Euphrate had not
yet reached Sir R Stopford when the Cyclops left Syria,
but we understand it is the intention of the Gallant Ad-
miral to visit Alexandria in the Princess Charlotte before
retiring from the coast for the winter.

CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 17.
On the lith instant the Austrian steam boat brought us
the happy tidings of the fall of Acre, at a sacrific s of next
to nothing. Joy beamed in every countenance It was a
day of mutual congratulation. The Newspaper offices were
besieged with applications for supplements containing the
particulars. Some of these supplements were pasted up on
the street walls, and Government issued orders for public
rejoicings. The day following, consequently, the ships of
war and batteries fired, at the five periods of prayer, royal
salutes ; in the evening we had an illumination, and were
to have enjoyed the sight of a grand display of fire-works,
but unluckily on that day the death of the eldest infant
daughter of the Sultan, the Princess Mevllibe, occurred,
and as this event deeply affected her imperial father, the
fire-works were suppressed.
The cap:ure of Acre has placed in the hands of the
Allied troops the whole coast of Syria mitheut exception,
and the position of Ibrahim's army, surrounded as it is on
all sides by bold and enthusiastic enemies, has become des-
perate.
ill temet Ali has despa'ehed to his aid six regiments,
who were marching by the desert of El Arish to the scene
of action. It is not likely they will ever succeed in join-
ing the Egyptian General, sa their road to him is along the
coast and under the walls of Acre, so that the Allies will
easily cut them off, whilst, if' they venture up into the
mountains, their fate will be still worse, for the Allies hive
quarter, whilst the mountaineers in general do not. They
have too many wrongs to avenge, and have learnt from
Ibrahim how easy it is to put to death defenceless men.
Baron Sturmer and the Commander of the steamer
Marianna, after dining with Reschid Pacha, were last meek
taken to the Sultan, who was delighted at the presenta-
tion of the Captain who had brought him such good news.
On the 15th, Lord Londonderry, who, with his lady,
arrived here a few days ago by way of the Danube, was
presented to the Sultan, who was exceedingly attentive to
his Lordship.
M. Marinitch, director at this place of the Austrian
Lloyd's steamers, has been honoured with the Niihani
Iftihar. His alacrity in placing at the disposal of the
Government the steam-boats under his charge has procured
him this distinction.
Dr. Morpurgo, member of the board of public utility, is
about to proceed to Paris on a mission. As he enjoys the
entire confidence of all parties, (1. e the Porte, Mehemet
Ali, and France) his services, it is thought, will be ex-
ceedingly useful.
During the night of the 14th a fire broke out at Thera-
pist and the wind being strong from the south a great:part
of the village was destroyed before it could be got under.
The palaces of Lord Ponsonby and Count de Pontois es-
caped, but the inmates were greatly alarmed. A house
in which some of Lord Ponsonby's establishment lived was
burnt.

Selim Bey, late governor of Smyrna, quits Constanti-
nople to.morrow for his Government in Bosnia.
It was thought that Izett Pacha, incapacitated from ac-
tive service for the present on account of hia wound, would
have been superseded in the post of Seraskier of the army
in Syria, but no one having been appointed to succeed hint,
it appears that he will retain his command.
Reschid Pacha gave a grand Ministerial dinner on
the 15th.

More troops are to be sent to Syria.
baish is to proceed on the 21st with 600.
The wind being for a fortnight past from the south, we
have quite midsummer weather, and the crowd of car-
riages filled with ladies of rank, and beautiful children
decked out in diamonds, to be seen every aft.ernoon at the
grand Rainazan promenade at Sultan Beyezid, is very
splendid. Nor are the Frank ladies backward in going
to see and be seen. Seldom a day passes but at least a
dczen carriages and arabas filled with Pea and foreign
belles, fig ;
ure in
the throng, nut to mention the innume-
rable pedestrians.
The Sultan goes regularly every afternoon to his kiosk,
and all the Ministers arc seen as punctually taking their
seats in a shop on the promenade. No business is trans-
acted by day, „na it
offices arc open. ik at night alone that all the public
