pose the two august and innocent pledges which ;;Olif

And when oil: lamentable disorders have ceased, when
to the effdrvescence of men's minds shall have suc-
ceeded, as we Lope, a period of calmness and tranquil

to partake with us in the prosperity of the country, or
mourn with us over its misfortanes."

Another account in the Commerce says, that it wak
at his own request that Commodore Napier was charvi.
by Admiral Stopford to go into the port of Alexandri.
Gith a flag of truce. No mention is made of any firing
having taken place, but the Commodore is said to has.
taken the soundings of the entrance with his own hands
It adds. that it was as soon as he landed that he hen
the position of the powder magazine pointed out to him.
and that it Was at this moment the revolt broke out
Mehemet. Ali yielded, and the Commodore had the
Turkish flag hoisted ir.stead of the Egyptian in token
of submission. This account further asserts, that at the
moment when Mehemet was thus obliged to give in he
had just received news of a success gained by Ibrahim ,
and Solyman Paella over the Allies in Syria, the order
for whom to evacuate that country the Commodore
took with him when he left the harbour.
The Semaphore, of Marseilles, in quoting advices
from Malta and Alexandria, says :—" Mehemet Ali,
yielding to the instances of those around him, who were
governed either by their interests or their fears, ar.d
seeing, moreover, that he received but feeble support
!rain France, at length determined to content himself
with the conditions offered him by Commodore Napier,
and retain the hereditary Pachalic of Egypt. He,
thereupon, consented to give up the Turkish fleet, and
recal Ibrahim from Syria. The first of these condi-
tions is to be fulfilled when the engagements entered
into by the Commodore are ratified ; the last condition
is to be executed immediately, the English placing all
their steamers and other vessels at the disposal of Ibra-
him. It is believed that the English squadron will
enter the port of Alexandria and remain till the Con-
vention is executed. Count Walewski is returning to
France. He has arrived at Malta in the Oriental, and
will continue his voyage as soon as he has completed his
quarantine."
A correspondent of the Sod, at Alexandria, writes on
the 17th ult., that M. Walewski bad always given Me-
hemet Ali assurances that the French fleet would conic
and defend Alexandria in case of any attack being
threatened by the allied fleet ; and that, in consequence
of this, from the 11th to the 15th he had made the
most energetic preparations for defending the port,
allotting their several posts to his superior officers, and
reserving to himself the defence of the Emperor's fort
at the entrance of the harbour. On the 15th the news
of M. Thiers' resignation came, and the effect was tre-
mendous. The Pacha, however, preserved his cheer-
fulness, and had two secret interviews with M. Walew-
ski. The order to recal Ibrahim Paella was believed
to have been issued at that date.

sible that any person of gentle blood, or entitled to be
created as a gentleman, would put forward an anony-

taking the trouble to ascertain its truth or falsehood, 1
should take steps to find out the individual, and punish
his insolence.

" As the matter noiv stand., sour anonymous cor
respondent, in assigning untrue reasons for my having
left the service, has placed himself in one or other
of the above unenviable positions. I am therefore
obliged to content myself by simply stating that my
reason for having left the service, to which I was greatly
attached, was that I found it as impossible to serve,
with proper respect for my own feelings, under Lord
Cardigan, as it was to effect an exchange from a regi-
