FUTURE DESTINY OF EGYPT.

From a French Paper.
The unexpected catastrophe which has stopped the war in
Eastern Europe—the treaty of peace, so energetically concluded to
the Russian advantage—must displease pride and interest. Turkey,
conquered by the Muscovite, cannot pass under the victorious
banner, without other Powers, which this connexion aMicts to the
soul, endeavouring to throw a counterpoise into the scale, and to op-
pose a strong boundary, evident and impregnable, to the gigantic
power of the North advancing in a mass to the south.
- Tre question of boundaries, the necessity of skilfully securing,
in expectation of more favourable circumstances, against the influ-
ence of the Emperor Nicholas, the African nations who live under
the religion of Mabomet, will necessarily occasion an universal
movement in the policy of the nations excluded from the Turkish
alliance, unless their cabinets shall consent to abandon all their in-
trivet', to fly without combatting, and ignominiously desert the
commercial stations which are indispensable to them in the Medi-
terranean.
However, this has never happened, and never will happen. Cone
sequentiy there must necessarily en.ue contact and discord.
We have lately noticed the germs of independence which have
manifested themselves more particularly in the Pachalic of Egypt.
It is evident that all the vassal principalities which depend on Con-
stantinople will not continue faithful to the Sultan, unless to
freedom of power he unites the force of a master. The influence
of his authority has received a shack in all Muuulman convic-
tions by the suddenness of his fall—to the certainty of his sub-
mission to the will of one stronger than himself ; and the
Paellas have seen the moment when the principle of sovereignty,
which gave the impulse to them, was about to cease. Tuck con-
fidence in Mahmoud has been interrupted, and. were it but for an
instant, it has caused each of them to perceive his state of isolation ;
the want of a new protector, in the room of one that is enervated,
and consequently the desire of recognizing elsewhere an iniepen-
dent support has acquired consistency in their minds.
Mark this !—To separate themselves from the Sultan, is in some
measure to separate themselves from his humiliation, and to leave
him with all its weight upon himself. It remains to ascertain what
would be the central point of authority on which all the wishes
scattered between Bagdad and Morocco would most willingly
unite ; and for this purpose it is only necessary to open our eyes.
Before proceeding further, let us inquire what would be the pro-
bable result of the resentment of Turkey against the Pachalics.
Without doubt it behoves Mahmoud to regain his ascendancy over
the wavering and uncertain portions of the Mahometan corpo-
ration. This must likewise enter into the views of the new
ally whom victory has imposed upon him. To the command
of the sea of Azof, of the Elaine, of the canal of Constan-
tinople, and the Archipelago, Russia would willingly add,
without striking a blow, the command of all the southern
coast of the Mediterranean, and the privileged access to the mouths
of the Nile. She would, by this means, govern from the Pole to
the Equator,—a master-stroke, which would be effected in the
most quiet manner imaginable, presenting at once an immense mo-
nopoly to her commerce, and incalculable discontent to England
and. France.

But in order that the Sultan should yield up this rich prey, with-
out warranting England and France to take arms boldly and reso-
lutely, it would be necessary that he should accomplish the Her-
culean l.bour alone,—it would be necessary to regain the power of
intimidating ; and this power cannot be regained except by vic-
tories. Unity of purpose amongst the people who are actually
under his real authority, organized troops, abundant treasure, a
fleet ready to set sail,—such ate the indispensable elements. we
will not say of success, but merely of a strugle. But at Con-
stantinople itself the Janissary party has risen from the dust.—
The horror of. European manners, of which the Sultan desired to
hasten the introduction amongst his people, has produced violent
differences and facilitated the victories of General Diebitsch. Can
the army which has been conquered under the banner of Alahomet,
and in its own strong holds, be so speedily recovered from its de-
moralization that it shall become immediately terrible to co-reli-
gionists? Where is the treasure which, however, would be better
employed is causing the Russian troops to evacuate the country as
soon as possible ? Where, finally, is the navy ? Navarino can
answer.
Doubtless if it were only necessary to direct the ruins of Turkey
against each Pachalic taken separately and one by one, there would
be .ome chance for 3labmuud to recover his popularity and
strengthen his authority. by means of victory. Separately perhaps
it would be impossible to contend with him. But the caseis not so
—far from it. ~

Wheat—Oar quotations are nearly the same as last week, but
the higher prices have been more easily obtained, in consequence of
continual purchases having been made for exportation ; these ob-
servations apply only to the best samples, those of inferior quality
continuingas heavily as before. Our supplies from the Upper and
Lower Ribs have been trilling. Importations during the week,
574 lasts; exportation, 346 lasts.
Rye continues firm in price, owing to the smallness of the
supply.
Barley is but little in demand, so that the prices may be looked
upon as nominal.
From the 17th to the 234 October 59 cargoes of corn passed the
Sound, of which 17 were bound to British and 13 for Dutch ports.

As notwithstanding the Imperial prohibition against studying in
foreign countries, ft is feared that young persons are sent by their
parents and guardians to pursue their studies at foreign schools and
universities, the Emperor has ordered that testimonials obtained
by studying in foreign institutions, be of no avail to natives of his
dominions, and that a native of the Austrian empire, who produces
such testimoniah, and intends to study, must begin his who',
course again, and continue it without any abridgement of the
usual time.
