TROUBLE IN EaYPr.-Affars look very threaten
ing in Egypt, and there is every prospect of great
row soon between England and the Pacha Of Egypt;
Letters from Constantinope say that the attempts
OF the British Government To procure the return or
escape of such officers of the Turkish feet at Alex
andrIa as were dissatisfied with their detention
there had rrtated Mehemet Ali, insomuch that he
prohibited pain of death the return OF any ohcer
10 Turkey and nominated Ahmed Past (the hate
CAPTAIN Pasha) to the command of the united Turk
ish and Egyptian fleets. The letters before us state
that this proceeding cf the NIceroy has caused
vast sensation in the Turkish capital, and so much
incensed the Government that prompt and strong
measures were looked for.
II appears that this was not the only point
which Mehemet Ali and the British had had dit
ference The interruption given by the British
ships of to the passage OF several hundred vol
uneers from Albania TO Alexandria in vessels under

duce a revolt in Albania and Asia Minor. Colonel
Hodges is said TO have used strong, and IN dplo-
macy somewha unusual figure in his reply to this
threat " IT, said he, you persist in the use OF
language of this nature, England will Pulverize you

foreign Powers succeeded, however, IN patching
up the quarrel The Gorgon steamer was reported
10 have carried TO Alexandria a formal demand for
the immediate restitution Of the Turkish leet. and
that IN OF REFUSAL the English Consul and other
British subjects there, were forthwith to depart.
