OF the allied pow But still there were two sup
posed contingencies involved in this eaty-namel,
an absolute and peremptory refusal on every one o
The points contained in it, the part Of the Eiceroy
and a consequent reference TO the four powers fo
advice. Nothing of the kind, however, has taker
place. The Nicerey has not offered an absolute re
fasa and the Sultan has not even given himself th'
time % concert reply IN conjunction with his allies
He met unheped for concessions by An act Of dcposi
ton IA.
the four powers could not approve Of such con
duct and know in effect that several Of them have
already expressed their disapprobstion 81 IL. Lord
Paimerston has caused q communication TO be made
10 our cabinet, that must only look upon his pro-
ceedpg IN the light of threat (conataototre) with
out any necessary or effective consequences. The
Connt d'Appony, liz an interview which had with
ham on this subject, announced to ne that the same
opinion was entertained by his cabinet OF the pro-
ceeding We have willingly taken coansapee of this
wise intisation, and we seize the opportunity
OF stating the intentions of France with respect Il
this matter.
France has declared that she will every
means IN her power to preserve the peace and the
balance of power in Europe. Now - the time for
her to explain clearly what meaning this decara-
ton Is to have. In accepting, with a religious H.
listing treaties, France has understood that during
the general peace which has happily prevailed since
1885, this state should not be changed either for the
proft or the detriment Of any one OF the eristins
PO'cers 1t has been unde this impression that she
has always declared in favor Of preserving the Otto
man empire the Turkish people, by their national
qualities, amply merited, their account alone,
respect for the independence OF that kingdon but
apart from this consideration, the dearest interests
OF Europe we're bound up in the coRtianed existence
OF Turkey This empire, in being Frustrated, could
only be made subservient to the aggrandisement Of
the joining states to the detrment Of the general
equilibrium, and her fall would have occasioned
such change in the existing proportions of he
great powers as to have altered the aspect OF the
globe altogether. France, and the other powers in
common with her, strongl FELT this con ingent re-
suit that she concert with her allies has constant
ly and Loyalty united ia maintaining the Ottoman
pire, however deeply their respective interests
might be involved relatively to the preservation or
"But the integral portion of he Ottoman empire
spreads tse from the shores OF the Black to those
OF the Red Sea- 1t is as essential to guarantee the
independence Of Egypt and Syria, as the indepen-
dence Of the Dardanelles and the bosphorus. A
prince vassal has succeeded in establishing firm
rule in two provinces, which during long period
the Sutans Of Constantinope were unable to govern
duce into the countries which he governs the huma
nifty which distinguishes European civilization and
which probably would i'll comport with the present
manners of the country he administers has, at least
introduced greater degree Of order and regularity
in them than exist in any other part Of the Turkish
empire. He has found the means to levy public
force he has raised troops, and he has created q
feet he has reused the pride of the Ottoman people,
and he restored to them somewhat Of that confidence
in themselves which it is indispensable for nation
to possess in order to be able TO defend and maintain
u
according to our view, an essential and necessary
part of the Ottoman empire. If he be destroyed the
empire will not the more acquire, nowadays, the
means which were formerly wanting to enable the
sultan to govern Syria and Egypt, and the Porte will
loose vassal who is at this moment, one of its prin
cipal bulwarks Other pachas will succeed who will
be dsobcdient to their masters, and who will be the
dependents Of every foreig influence. In word,
portion Of the ne grail Turkish empire will be com
pronais ed and, together with this, the general equ-
lbrum will be endangered In the opinion Of France
the existence of the Viceroy OF Egypt, in the pro-
vinces which he governs, and in the seas where his
power is exerted is essential for the purpose of en-
suring the proportions, they actually exist, be-
tween the different parts Of the glebe.
In this conviction, France, equally disinerested
in the oriental question, with the four powers who
hive sigued the pretoc al of September believes
herself TO be under the necessity Of declaring that
the deposition Of the viceroy, put in force will be
brium.
"The question with respect TO the limits which
ought TO be estabs shed In SYRIA in order tn divide
the possessions cfthe Sultan from those Of the Vice
roy OF Egypt, might cifh fety beicft to the chances
Of trar actually in progress, but France cannot
prevail upon herself to abandon tn such chance the
existence Of Mehemet Ali prince vassa ofthe su-
rire. Whatever territorial limits may ultimately
separate the two po wers the fortune Of war; their
continued double existence - necessary TO Esrope,
and France cannot consent to admit the suppre sion
either Of the the other. Disposed she is 10
enter upon and take part IN every acceptable ar
rangement which shall have for its basis the double
guarantee Of the existence If the Sultan and that Of
the vceroy Of Egypt, she confines hersefat present
TO the declaration on her part that she cannot con-
cent to the carrying into execution oil the act oil depo-
stion pronounced at Constantinople.
In other respects the spontaneous manifestations
of several Of the powers whs have signed the treaty
of July Is prove us that this respect under-
stand the term balance Of Europe, in the
that they do and that in this respect their views
not at variance with ours. We should regret this
disagreement, which ct we do not perceive, but
H. of
pretending. and Of assuring tho maintenance Of that
equilibrium. 49,
pre- cats the motives by which she has been induced
TO break the silence hitherto preserved by her Her
love or peace may be relied upon, as that sentiment
has constantly animated her, notwithstanding the
proceedings OF which she believes she has right TO
complain. Her dsintere sickness may also he relied
upon for il 10 Of possible even TO suspect her Of
pring to any acquisition Of territory in the east
What she does aspire TO, is the maintenance Of the
equilibrium OF Europe This is also the care Of the
great powers in commoa with her, and II ought tn

The Morning Herald ofthe I7th, says
We are informed that the note hitherto uppub-
Of the stb, TO his memorandum OF is more pa
c6c than the British Government had reason TO en-
pect.
II contains a protest against the supposed policy
Of Russia, but contains no protest against the pro
ceedings Of Great Britain.
II demands what will be the conduct ofthe British
Government in the following eases:-
I. What will the British Government do with re
gard to the deposition Of Mehemst Ali, which has
already been proneuncciby the PorteI
.. What will the British Government do with re-
spect to the threatened attack on Alexandria, and
the destruction Of the Turkish fleet in the harbor Of
Alexandria1
8 What are the terms which the British govern
ment proposes TO accord to MehemetAli
We further understand that Lord Palmerston has
answered the above queries in the following man
ser.
I. With regard TO the deposition Of Mehemet Ali
The dete rminaticn Of the British Government will
depend on the extent Of the resistance the viceroy
gives to the execution oft treaty.
2. With regard TO the attack on Alexandra and
the Tnrkish heett -.
The determination Of the British Government will
depend on the use made by Mehemet Ali OF the Turk
