(FROM THE STANDARD.)

We announced yesterday that peace had been arranged
between the Porte and Ibrahim Paella without the
intervention of Russia, and that a Russian fleet had ar-
rived in the Bosphorus. The French papers received
to-day give curious accounts of this affair, which will pro-
bably be attended with the most important consequences.
According to them France was determined that Russia
should not interfere in Turkish affairs, and Baron Rous-
sin, her ambassador, succeeded in persuading the R,iis
Effendi to send a messenger to Sebastopol, requesting
that the sailing of the fleet collected there, for the pur-
pose of assisting the Sultan, should be countermanded.
The squadron had sailed, however, before the Turkish
agent could arrive at Sebastopol, and on the 20th ult.,
four Russian ships of the line, four frigates, and two
corvettes appeared in the Bosphorus. The French am-
bassador immediately informed the Porte that he would
depart from Constantinople, which threat produced the
intended effect. The Sultan declared that if Baron Rous-
sin would become responsible for the retreat of the
Egyptian army he would decline the interference of Rus
sia. The French ambassador gave the required guaran-
tee, the necessary papers were signed, and two li'rench
aides-de-camp were sent off, one to Ibrahim and the other
to his father, directing the suspension of hostilities, under
threats of the vengeance of France in case of disobedi-
ence. The Russian fleet, according to the French ac-
counts, was to return from Constantinople to Sebastopol
with the first fair wind.

Such is the strange story which we find in the Journal
des Debuts. If true, the conduct of France has been
most outtageoukily insolent in the whole transaction, and
Russia has every right to feel offended. What part the
English Ambassador at the Porte played on the occasion
we do not know; but we suppose that there, as every
where else, we are content to follow in the wake of France.
The matter cannot end here. We do not think that the
Russian fleet will leave the Bosphorus as quietly as the
French would have us believe. Independently of any
other motive for staying before Constantinople, the pay-,
ments of the tribute stipulated at the last peace have been
very irregularly made, and as a large arrear is now due,
Russia has a fair pretext for keeping a fleet at Constanti-
nople until it is discharged. In all probability the con-
test will extend far beyond Turkey.
In corroboration of our opinion, we beg to refer our
readers to the letter of our Parisian correspondent, by
which it will be seen, that M. Pozzo di Borgo, after hav-
ing been twice refused, had at length had a stormy discus-
sion with the Duke de Broglie, and it was generally sup-
posed in Paris, that a rupture would soon take place
between the French and Russian governments.
These papers also inform us, that all the royalists ac-
cused of a conspiracy on board the steam-boat Carlo
Alberto, have been acquitted; which event must be a
subject of great mortification to the French government.

A Ma'ita mail,
.brought by the Albian, has arrived;
she sailed froth Malta on the 11th ult., from Gibraltar on
I the 3rd instant., from Cadiz on the sth, and having put
into Vigo, left it on the 12th. Vigo. is only one or two
days' sail froth Oporto, and she may therefore bring news
to a date a fortnight later than what we have already re-
ceived, if there has been any communication between
I Vigo and Oporto, which, however, we doubt. Among
her passengers is a Captain Crosbie, who was second in
ccmmand to Admiral Sartorius. His arrival, we under-
stand, was quite unexpected, and is in all probability
connected with the events which are supposed to have
taken Place at Oporto, and to Aich we alluded yesterday.
