FOREIGN NEWS.

TEN DAYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
We have London papers to September
3D.. The little time we have left for the
mails compel Us to be brief in our ex-
tracts.
A brief reading of our English papers
leads to the impression that the prospects
for the crops in England are very fair, and
that there is gradual, but slow relief IN
the money market.
The Weather and the Hdrcea.-The
weather has, during the week ending Au-
gust 3lst, been, with but brief exceptions,
highly favorable for gathering in the pre-
cious fruits of the earth. Scarcely doubt
now exists, that the harvest will be album
dant in quantity and excellent in quality.
Prince Metternch is dangerously i'll, and
the sacrament has been administered to
HIM.
FRANCE
There is no French news of any inter-
est. The Paris papers are occupied with
discussions on the sugar question and on
the affairs Of Turkey and Egypt. The
tone of the journals towards this country Is
The reverse Oh friendiy'
The French Government has caused the
claims Of the British merchants, sufferers
bv the blockade Of Portendlc, to be exam
ined, and has liked at 60,000f the amount
Of the indemnity to which they are entitled.
TURKEY AND EGYPT.
Mehemet Ali is resolved not to rehnquIsh
the advantages he has obtained without a
struggle. He demurs TO the delivery Of
the Turkish feet, and insists upon the
hereditary possession Of Syria. The forts
on the Dardanelles have been repaired,
and rendered almost impregnablc. Many

Government and il is said that Mehem-

be gladly hailed by the people in Constaa-
tinople.
Al Alexandria the whole Turkish fleet
had entered the port. The crews had re-
ccived their pay, the Pacha having, TO

part az his cotton. Mchcmet Ali was
showing the most marked attentions 70 the
Turkish officers, with q view, II was sup
posed, TO induce them 10 remain with him,
N case Of his being obliged TO return the
fleet.
The last French papers say the French
officer vino was commissioned to claim, The /
Turkish fleet. M the name Of the five great
Powers, has received fiat refusal from
Nehemct Ali, unless all his cxorbitant dc. /
mands are complied with, and the eNpcn' /
ses he has been put TO betrayed by the /
sultan
FROM CANTON
At Canton affairs remained IL the same I
unsatisfactory state. Foreigners were all
prisoners, and business, Of course, at an
ead, at all events for the present. All
communication between Canton and Macao I
had been cut of, and the ships were lying
in Macao Roads waiting the result Of the I,
Commissioners proceedings.
