CONSTANTINOPLE, OCT. 14.

A Tartar arrived here on the Bth instant, with despatches
from Moustapha Effendi, the person whom the Porte, on
Habib Effendi's departure, sent to Cairo, in order to bring
to a settlement the points yet at issue between the Sultan
and Mehemet Alli. On the Pasha's return from Syria,
the Turkish Envoy hcquainted him with the object of his
mission. Tint arguments used by this able negotiator dis-
posed Ikl-Idemet Ali, contrary to all expectation, to make
hi satisfactory concessions ;so much so, that he deemed
himself justifiable in announcing in his first communication
to the Divan, that their hopes were on the eve of being
crowned with complete success. By the present letters he
informs this assembly that a total change had taken place
in Mehemet Afi's dispositions, on hearing of the resolu-
tions adopted by the Sultan, and of the active and formida-
ble preparations made against him, when informed of the
insurrection in Syria. The continuation of negotiations,
under similar circumstances, he had declared impracticable ;
his attention could solely be directed to the devising of the
most efficient means of repelling the aggression with which
he was threatened. Moustapha Effendi, in consequence of
this intimation, prepared himself to leave Egypt, and is
only waiting the authorization of the Porte to return to
Constantinople.

According to private letters, the Pasha's indignation
against the Sultan admits of no bounds ; he publicly ex-
presses himself in the bitterest terms against him, An ac-
tivity reigns in the War department, as if the enemy were
already at the city's gates. The fleet has sailed for the
coast of Syria: 35,000 men will be sent to reinforce Ibra-
him's army.

The Porte sent two days ago a Tartar to Egypt. It is
confidently reported that the despatches of which he is the
bearer are written in the most conciliatory terms. Things,
however, have gone too far to allow us to admit even the
possibility of a reconciliation. It can only be brought about
through a foreign mediation. It is a duty incumbent on
those powers whose political and commercial interests are
concerned in the preservation of the integrity and st.rength
of the Turkish empire to offer, and, if necessary, to enforce
their friendly intervention. The existence, Of a schism
which has destroyed the unity of power Turkey should
no longer be tolerated. It has alread:i led to the establish-
ment of a Russian protectorate r:c. Constantinople. It is
the lever which, if allowed to re'nain, as it incontestedly is
to-day, in the hands of Rt
the foundations of this eir.pire,
'Asia, will enable her to upturn
and pave the way to her
occupation._

FRF:SCH WOOLLEN MANUFACTURES.

A.n inquiry has been instituted in Paris on the subject of
the woollen manufactures of France, and several proprietors
of factories have been examined. The Report is given in
the form of question and answer.

It is stated that there is no longer occasion for a prohi-
bition of foreign woollens, but that a protecting duty would
be requisite, especially as regards the manufacture of Saxony.
The quantity exported amounts to two-thirds of the pro-
duce of the manufactories to the United States, South
America, England, Holland, Italy, Belgium, and a trifle to
Russia. The only competition feared is from the Saxony
make, even in America, which oppose us more than English
goods. The lower kinds of goods oppose us most, and in
the finer sorts we have nothing to fear, as our own are in-
finitely superior. The quantity made annually is estimated
at the value of twenty millions of francs of undressed goods.
The increase has been such as to induce the belief that this
branch of industry has reached its apogee. Prices during
the last ten years have declined very considerably. An ell
of merinos, which now sells at 9f., was well worth at the
beginning of the manufacture 36f to 40f. A great deal of
the wool is bought in Germany.
M. Lupin being asked how much wool he bought annu-
ally, answered, sometimes more and at others less, but the
quantity might be to the amount of four millions of francs ;
that he picked out of it what was suitable for merinos and
bombazines, rnd sold the rest to make cloth. " Ido not
care much about the import duty on foreign wools, as it is
returned to me on my exports." The reduction of ten per
cent. is a good measure, but has ha.',l but little influence on
the price, which is determined I.iy the wants and consump-
tion. A great outcry was •;oade by the growers on wool on
the reduction, but the; still obtained the same prices for
their wool. The usual cost of the wool used for merinos is
2if. to 4-lf: for washed per pound. The bounty on export
is thought sufficient, but a desire is expressed for a further
reduction of duty, to facilitate trade, and prevent abuses. A.
duty on merinos of foreign make, of ten per cent, would be
sufficient, to be levied in proportion to the bounty allowed,
as reimbursing 360 f. duty with 360 f. bounty would be
equivalent to 396 f., or 10 per cent., and perhaps even less
than 10 per cent. would suffice. The difference between
French and foreign markets is about 10 per cent., that is to
say, that what we sell at Of. they sell at 8-If.—(The depo-
nent could not undertake to give such information on other
goods than merinos and bombazines, ;.hough he thought
cloths would be benefitted by a reas,-_,nable duty.
M. Lupin stated that he err,-ployed from six to seven
thousand workmen, and m."..de from sixteen to eighteen
thousand pieces of me,:inos. The capital employed in-
eluding everything, cannot be exactly stated, but is on the.
whole estimate°. at twenty-five millions of francs (about a
million ster.l:ing). Coals from Mons are used as fuel, but a
reducti.`on of the duty would be very desirable. Flannel is
m' 10 with carded wool, and merinos and bombazines with
combed wool. The proportion of silk in the bombazine is
about one-eighth of the weight.

WOLVES IN BELGIUM.----The WOIVP.S have multi-
plied in an alarming manner in the province of Namur, Lux..
emburg, Liege, and the woody part of Hainault, so that in
many communes they attack is road daylight the animals at
pasture. This increase if.. ascribed to the want of snow during
the winter, which prtVented the peasants from hunting them.
The Minister of. the Interior has ordered an extensive chase to
be undertaken in order to destroy them.—Brussels Papers.
EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING AT KENSING•
TON CIIMICII.—On Sunday last, about 10 minutes before 12,
while the Rev. Mr. Dupuis was officiating in F:ensingtea
church, the congregation was thrown into a state of
i complete
confusion by the entrance of two parties named William Er.
wood and Eliza Bell, who loudly demanded to beimmediately
married. This demand, coupled with, *..e grotesque appear.
ance of the parties (the bridegroom. being crippled in both
legs, and the bride having but one eye), excited the curiosity
of all present, and Martin, th beadle, immediately consulted
with Mr. Dupuis as to what was to be done ; the Venerable
Archdeacon Pott being present in the church, was also v..
pealed to, and it was decided that as the bans bad been duty
published the claim could not 1),! rejected, ifjpersisted in. 'c
beadle, however, endeavoured to remonstrate, but, although the
bridegroom appeared willing to postpone his happiness for a
i day, the lady was nflexible, and Mr. Dupuis was compelled to
descend from the pulpit and perform the marriage ceremony,
the roluntary which is usually played between the psalms anc
tile first lesson having been emitted in consequence.
