sequently tweniy-one days later.
The result Of intelligence viii 10 unfavorable here
to those who were anxiously looking TO Europe for
higher prices of Cotton and lower prices OF money
From the war in the East, consequences may al
soresult unfavorable to the preservation ofthe peace
Of Europe.
France asserts openly, by her deputies, the ne
cessily of protecting Turkey against Russia, which
nation, it Is assumed, is stimulating the Egyptians.
All parties, NJ. Berger, NJ. Dupin, Odiilon Bar
rot, and the Ministers, were of ono accord in voting
ten millions of francs, TO enable France to do her
part in protecting Turkey. Tho combined fleets of
France and England, in the Levant, were very pow
erful. Whether they will act in harmony remains
to be seen.
Captain Walker, who virtually directs all the
| operations OF the Turkish fleet, has been Invested
by the Sultan with the rank Of High Admiral.

an event which from its liability to involve other
powers, is Of more importance than might at first
be imagined.

pessage of thirteen days.
