PARIS. JAN 27.-Our last accounts from Blaye

some time seriously indsposed, was dangerously

Messrs. Oria and Auvity. have been despatch-

TURKEY AND EGYPT.
The following account of great battle between
the armles of the Grand Sultan and the Egyp.
tians, In which the former vas defeated, with
the capture of the Grand Vzer, the Prime Min.
lister of 'rurkey)is the most important item by
this arrival. 1t is as follows:
CoNsTANtINopLE, Dec &c The greatest
gloom prevails here. The Sultan and his peo-
pie appear to have fallen into state of apathy,
indicative of a total dissolution. The former
gives up his case as desperate. and does not ven.
ture to excite tn peoples minds by artificial
means, lest he should no be able to calm them
again, and keep them within bounds. The un.
fortunate result of the battle of Koniah, and the
captivity of the Grand VlzIer. leaves the capital
without means Of defence. There are still, pei.
haps, $4,000 Turkish troops dispersed in Asia
Minor, and 10000 regulars in reserve, but their
spirit does not correspond with the threatening
danger, nor is there any able leader possessing
sufficient self-coufidence, and who is considered
as able to restore good fortune to the standards
Of the Sultan. Redschid Pacha was the only
man possessed of these qualifications. His for
mer good fortune has deserted him, and gone
over to hi, younger adversary. He fought val
iantIy, and when his defeat was decided. devoted
himself To death, which, however, he did not
find. Superior to his adversary in the number
Of his troups, he unhappi;y did not act with pru-
dence, which an able General should never lose

There is no genius or spirit 10 the Councils of
the Sultan; meantime the Emperor Nicholas Is
acting with the greatest maynanImity. Count

We copy the following articles from the Lon
don Cube, OF January 90:
The West India interest were thrown into
! considerable alarm yesterday by report that it
was the intention OF Ministers to introduce a bill
into the new Parliament for the immediate eman.
cipaion of the slaves in the Wet Indies. 1t
was stated that the purport of the bill was to H.
init the existence Of slavery in the colonies to
three xears and that III WAS not the intpn tiOn of
the government to offer any compensation to the
planters or proprie,ors.
In consequence OF these rumors, deputation
of gentlemen connected with the West Indies
waited upon Lord Grey. and had an audience of
the noble Earl at the Treasury yesterday after
! noon. They requested to be Informed whether
it was true that it was the intention Of the Go.
vernment to emanclpate the slave populatons-
The answer, we understand, was in the affirma.
tive, aud that bill for that purpose would, on an
! early day, be submitted to the consideration Of
the new Parliament. 1t was also intimated that
three years would be the period fixed for the ex-
,at rs Ia.
