BREDA, JAN. 13.—Tile Sardinian Envoy, Biron de
Chouay, whose arrival on the frontier we lately mentioned,
has, in consequence of the existing regulations, and by a
decision of the highest authorities, been refused permission
to pass the boundary.
The troops belonging to the army in the field break up
to-morrow, to proceed to their new cantonments.

BOIS-LE -DUC, JAN. 13.—1 n the approaching change
of cantonments the whole army will occupy a position
further in the rear and more extended, and the frontier

been occupied by a very large number of troops, are to be
considerably relieved. The bead-quarters remain, for the
present, at Tilburg. The first division will extend west-
ward from Breda, the reserve is partly to occupy the dis-
trict of 1(.11k. Ou each wing there is to he a brigade of
cavalry, and the report that a part of it is to go to the
north of the river, or to the country between the Meuse
and Waal, is not at present confirmed.

PARISjAN. 15.—Before examining the subject of
European interference in the affairs of the East, it
is first necessary to form correct ideas of the nature
and bearings of events of which the Ottoman Em-
pire is now the theatre. Before discussing the part
which every one ought to take in the convulsions
of the Mussulmans, it is necessary first of all to as-
certain if the hour of the dissolution of that society
has actually arrived. The importance of the modifi-
cations which it has already suffered is sufficiently
great undoubtedly to awaken the attention of all
Europe ; but the Ottoman Empire yet stands upon
its legs. If it has not beheld rebel Pachas at the
gates of its capital, it has seen foreign armies within
two days' march of them. Its principle of life has
overcome serious internal disorders. The moral
support of its European Alliances has stopped,
more than once, the triumphal course of its foreign
foes. The present crisis is serious—more serious,
perhaps, than any preceding crisis. Is it without
hope of safety ? Let us inquire. Ibrahim Pacha
has crossed the Taurus; he has entered Koniah ;
and has placed his advanced guard on the route to
Constantinople. The army of the Grand Vizier has
retreated in good order. A bsttle is inevitable. Such
is the last news arrived from Constantinople. In look-
ing closely at this state of things, we perceive that
the conquests of Ibrahim, hitherto, have been
all in countries accustomed, for a long time,
to look upon the Turks as enemies, and in which the
Egyptian soldier found a similarity of language arid
manner, which made him appear like a countryman.
the Egyptian,
In Anatolia, Ibrahim will attack a victorious people
in their strong holds. There the contest will take
a character much more serious. The more Ibrahim
advances towards the capital, the more his forces
will diminish. He leaves behind him people half
conquered, and he attacks an imperial army. If he
suffers a defeat, his retreat his full of perils ; all
wars in the East attest that. The Egyptian army
will find in Anatolia neither roads nor means of ,
transport. A scattered population will not be able
to supply its chief wants. The soldiers of Ibrahim
have not yet been exposed to any climate very dif_
ferent from their own. In Anatolia they will find
the winter and all its terrors. Finally, on approach-
ing Constantinople, Ibrahim marches through the
centre of the Ottoman power, and where it is yet
