81 hasten to inform you that the French govern
ment have received the following most important
teegraphic dispatch:
MARsEILLEs, Oct l, half past 8.
"MALrA, Sept 27.-The Prometheus, which left
Bsyrout on the Goth, announces that, after bonn
bardment Of zine days, which reduced the town TO
ashes, the Egyptians evacuated the town in the night
and the allies took possession Of it.
"Ths Oriental, which quilted Alexandria on the
oath, makes known that the frman deposing Mehs-
met Ali, had been communicated on the 2lst TO his
Highness by the Consuls General of the Four Pow
ers, who instantly struck their Tags and retired
board their shipping.
Copy director Of the Tele: raph Flocon.'
"The above is the most important and alarming
Intelligent that could be received, members Of
the French government have said that il the treaty
was executed Poutrance, there must be war. i
dare not say more to alarm the public mind, but
view il as most fatal news, and have good reason
to do 500
The above intelligence has produced q complete
panic in the city, and Consols have fallen nearly II
per cent, viz, from 81 ito Sc 81. We may also
add that 100 900 Consols offered at 81, and no
takers. Purchasers were however shortly after
wards obtained at that price.
Ten thousand additional troops have been order
ed to embark at Constantinope for Cyprus. We
| have already stated that Mehemet Ali either was
feigned to be seriously indisposed. His disease is
said to be boil on the spine, affection peculiar
to the Nile. His late apparent humility te the Sui
tan, and his offer through Rifat Bey to surrender
Gambia and Adana, are believed to have been
ruse to gain time, and had his offers been accepted,
he would probably not have abided by them.
The intelligenc from Beyrout is extremely con-
Trajectory 1t is said that Commodore Napier has
made prizes Of some Egyptian ships he had already
seized, and that he continues to Interrupt all sup
| plies going towards the coast. The Governor of
Beyrout has, on the other hand, literally offered
reward for the head Of Lord Ponsonbys dragomsn,
| Mr. Moore. He is, however, safe on board the
mander's ship. The city is now blockaded by very
strong squadron, consisting Of the Powerful the Ed
| inburgh, the Thunderer, the Gsnges, the Benbow
the Castor, the Carysfort, and the Gorgon steamer
This news arrived to-day about 2 o'clock, and i'm
mediately caused unprecedented fall in stocks
stock exchange. Consols receded from IS l to S.
being fully II per cent
| The excitement in Paris must also be very great.
Ministers here, il is said, took into consideration
the propositions Of Mehemet Ali, as TO whether the
treaty between the four powers could be modified
as to allow Of the acceptance by the sultan of his
late reply, whether the quadruple treaty should
be rigidy enforced in all its parts and members, and
decided on the affirmative, in spite OF France, Me
hemet Ali, other oppostioR, and that this deter
mination has been forwarded to Paris. The French
seemed to think the last propositions made by Me-
hemet Ali were reasonable, and were such as ought
to be pied by the four powers and such was
due respect to the interests and feelings Of France
to have acce pied, and such were calculated to Sc
cure the peace Of Europe, without giving carse 10
any party or power to complain. But, it seems nov
to be the fixed and unalterable determination to
execute the treaty to the very letter Of il, and
the risk of all consequences. War, now, lowers
dark and thick in the horizon Of European politics:
and when the first gun is fired by France, all Eu-
rope will be in blaze, and before il ends we may
have to take share Of it. The news Of the great
fall ofstock, had from Of the most respectable
banking houses in the city II seems to be the i'm
preston that incendiaries are at work trying TO
burn up English dock yards and vessels OF war
This coupled with the news just received from the
East, has produced great and intense interest in
London.
