and his colleagues filling the Home, Commercial, I
Judicial, and Public Institutional departments,
were prevailed upon to unite with the President of
the Council in -unanimously tendering their resig-
nation to the King at St. Cloud. The King de-
clined the acceptance of their resignation, observing
that the Cabinet was morally bound to meet
the Chambers, and if necessary justify the
adoption of measures which as yet had
not obtained a legislative sanction. This
remonstrance closed the mouth of the
President of the Council, who subsequently agreed
to convoke the Chambers for the 15th of Novem-
ber. The Chronicle accounts for the sudden change
in the conduct of the peace party in the Cabinet
by observing that up to the arrival of the- official
despatches from the Mediterranean, on Saturday
night, they did not believe that the Turks, aided
by the British marine, could make any impression
on Syria. " They thought," says our Contem-
porary, " MEHEMET ALI and IBRAHIM impreg-
nable, and deemed that the winter at least would
wear away without the reduction or danger of the Pa-
chas. The full despatches from Beyrout, however,
which reached Paris on Saturday night, opened
the eyes of the French Ministers. They saw at
once that IBRAHIM was completely beaten, and
would, if hostilities continued,lbe driven from all Sy-
ria, without the aid of a single Russian gun. They
trembled not merely for Beyrout and the Lebanon,
but for Acre and Alexandria itself ; and the con-
sequence has been the resolve to interfere, if Eng-
land cannot be got to hold her hand. The fa-
vourite plan seems to be that of sending troops to
Alexandria. Nothing, however, seems to be po-
sitively decided."
This is probable, but we cannot affitin that it is

correct.
The Captain of her MAJESTY'S packet Ache-
ron, which arrived at Marseilles on the Ist instant,
stated that on the 19th of September the French
fleet was at anchor at the Dardanelles.
The following are the sentences of the Court of
Peers on Prince LOUIS NAPOLEON and his fel-

low-prisoners :
Prince Louis Napoleon, perpetual imprisonment in a
fortrebs.

Count Montholon, 20 years' detention ; Voisin, 10
ditto ; Mesonan, 1.5 ditto ; Parquin, 20 ditto ; Bouffet
Montauban, 5 ditto ; Lombard, 20 ditto ; Forestier, 10
ditto.

Second Rank.—attaille, 5 years' detention ; Alade-
nize, transportation for life ; Laborde, 2 years' deten-

bert, ditto ; Bare, ditto.
The Bulletin des Lois of the 30th ult. publishes the
Royal Ordinance, opening in the department of war an
extraordinary credit of 51,674,000 r. to cover the urgent
expenses accruing fr,-)m the increase in the effective
force and the materiel of the army, which bad not been
provided for by the Chambers during their last Session.
The clothing and articles of enean pment figure in the
items for a sum of upwards of 13,000,000 of francs, and
the outlay torothe purchase of cavalry horses amounts
to 9,600,000 f. The same official publication contains
the Royal Ordinance of the 28th ult., decreeing the
formation of ten additional battalions of Chusseurs, of
1,280 men each.

PREPARATIONS FOR WAR.
The Moniteur publishes the names of the pupils of
the Military School of St. Cyr who, having passed their
examinations, have been appointed officers in various
regiments. The appointments to infantry of the line
are 108 ; light infantry 33 ; cavalry 25.
Treasury Bonds, which were only at two per cent.,
have within these two or three last days been issued at
four per cent., and instead of having twelve months to
run, are now payable in six months.
A letter from Abbeville says, " We are led to believe
that our fortifications are about to be replaced upon their
old footing ; that in case of a war the works will receive
important additions, and that our garrisons will be in-
creased by both infantry and cavalry. At St. Valery-
sur-Somme it is expected that batteries will be imme-
diately erected for protecting the entrance into the bay,
and that the old Fort de l'Empereur, at the- Pointe do
Hourdel, is to be restored and mounted."
The Independent of Metz states that a horse-dealer,
who arrived at Thionville on the 29th ult., has reported
that, wishing to bring some horses from Prussia into
France, they were stopped by the Prussian custom-
house officers, Government having, on the 20tb, issued
a prohibition against the exportation of horses by the
French frontier.
A Frankfort letter of the 26th ult. says—" The
first strings of an important contract for horses for
France passed through this town yesterday and the
day before. One of our dealers has engaged to supply
10,000 head."

Letters from Constantinople of the 18th ult.,
state that the Porte had rejected the last proposi-
tion of MEHENI ET ALI, and the SULTAN had
formally deprived him of the Pachalic of Egypt,
which nis Highness conferred on IZZET MEHEMET.
The DIVAN next declared the Coast of Syria, and
Alexandria blockaded, upon which the British and
Austrian Ambassadors notified to the subjects of
these Powers at Constantinople that, at the request
of the Porte, the blockade would be enforced by
the combined squadrons of England and A ustria.
On the 17th, NOUR RI BEY left Cliti-
stantinople for Alexandria to inform MEHE-
MET ALI of his deposition. IZZET ME-
HEMET had likewise proceeded to Cyprus to await
the result of the polite message sent to the
VICEROY.

The Councils of the Divan, at which ME-
HEMET ALI was deposed, were held on the 12th
and 13th ult.—three days after the arrival of
Count WALEWSKI at Constantinople. The mea-
sure was therefore not adopted in ignorance of the
intentions of France. The SHEIK-AL-ISLAM and
the Ulenias were all present, and concurred in the
sentence of deposition pronounced by the SULTAN.

No further intelligence has been received respecting
the incendiary fires in the Royal dockyards. • At Sheer-
ness the investigation has been contkued during the
whole of Monday and Tuesday, before Sir John Hill,
the Captain Superintendent, Lieutenant Wise, and a
Police Inspector. No particulars, however, of any
kind are allowed to transpire, as strict orders have been
Issued, according to which " no person belonging to
the yard shall be allowed on any pretence whatever to
communicate, by writing or otherwise, any information
relative to the equipment of ships or other business
transacted in the dock-yard." The accounts from
Devonport are of the same meagre description, though
;.he Correspondent of a Morning Contemporary has
contrived to spin out a column and a half, giving a
second edition of the cock-and-bull story about two I
foreigners and a cabman.

Howe, of 120 guns, left the Nore yesterday
morning, in tow of the Lightning steamer, to proceLd
io ortsmoutb, on her way to the Mediterranean.

CIRCASSIAN ORATORS AND AUDIENCES.
It rarely happens that any under the age of forty ever
interfere In these debates; and only with a tolerable
sprinkling of grey hairs in the bard, announcing the ma-
tured wisdom of Tamatas, or elders, can the orator
command attention. Should there he any individual
fonder then others of hearing himself talk, they have a
way of silencing him peculiar to themst Ives; they neither
crow like cocks, nor bray like certain other animals in
more civilized assemblies, but adopt a method for which
the form n:,d the roomy nature of their house of meeting,
alfresco, are most peculiarly adapted. The unfortunate
orator in such cases is apt to find himself with no other
audience than the neighbouring trees and bushes, the circle
he had been addressing having rapidly dissolved and re.
adjusted itself out of earshot, where it might be seen listen-
ing to somebody with better claims on is attention.—Long-
worth's Year among t/, Circassians.
CAMBRIDGE, OCT. 4.—Mr. John Frere and
Mr. W. C. Mathison, late students ri King's College,
London, have been elected Fellows of Trinity College in
this University.
