A great commotion was raised at Paris by the con-
vention signed London by the representatives OF
Russia Prussia Austria, and England and the envoy
of the Porte Of which had accounts by the last ar
rival; it was to the following effect -
1.-THE Sultan is to offer Mehemet Ali the hereditary
succession of Egypt and the life of the pachalc of
ST Jean d Acre.
1.-THE Pacha does not accept the offer in ten days,
the Sultan will then offer Egypt alone.
g Ii the Pacha still holds out, the four powers en-
gage to force Mehemet Ali to return to his duty
The Paris journals rave against England, for the
course she has taken the Eastern question: and es
peciay on account of the Convention signed by hus-
STA Prussia and Austria to the exclusion Of France,
The French Government too is said to be very much
.nI,f ntpay n
the good understanding between the two Kingdoms Is
seriously endangered
The Paris journals talked Of nothing less than put
ting the army and navy at once upon the war estab-
shment and sending force adequate TO all einergeh-
cies into the Leyant
The following conversation, on this subject, took
place inhe House Of Lords on the Both July
Viscount SrRANdFoRD rose for the purpose OF put
ting question the noble Viscoant at the head OF
Her Majesty's Government respecting rumor which
for some time past had been prevalent and which rela
ted to subject of the very highest Importance he
matter of such urgent and great moment that ne
hoped the noble Viscoun would not feel to be neon
sistent with his public duty impart that degree OF
info nation which if it did more would abate the
an xety of the public mind. he had no wish to lead
the noble Viscount into any statement Of deails-he
merely wished him say whether there was any foun-
daton for the rumor to which his intended question
related For days past the newspapers, both IN
France and in this country, but more generally IN
France had been filled with confident statements to
the effect that formal diplomatic arrangements had been
entered into between this country the hand and
certain great continental powers the other respect
ing settlement of the differences between Turkey
and Egypt and that France was neither signing nor
a conserving party to that arrangement He did not
desire that the noble Viscoun should state any of the
conditions of that arrangement he merely sought tor
information with respect TO its existence or exist
ence Ii was a subject upon which the public would
gladly receive any information the result must ma
teriay affect the value of public securities
Niscount MELBOURNE said, II was perfectly true that
negotiations had been entered into the subject TO
which the noble Viscount referred between this coun-
try Austria Russia, Prussia and the Sublime Porte,
with view to the pacifcaton of the Levant. twas
also perfectly true that those negotiations had been
considerably advanced but he never regarded such
matters as settled until they ratified therefore
all he could say was, that such negotiations were
going on.
Lord BRouGHAM said, that he was chiefly alarmed
by that portion Of the referred to which al
legged that no communication had been made France
I'LL after the completion of the treaty That which ne
wished to know was whether all communication on the
subject had been withhoden from France.
Viscount MELBouRSE replied, that communications
had been made TO France upon the subject, but tina,
France not party to the treaty
PRINCE DE JoINvILLE
The Phars des Pyrenees gives private letter from
Cadiz dated the 18th ult which states that the fngate
Belle Poule and the corvette Favorite commanded by
bring back the remains of Napoleon arrived there on
the 10th ult The expedition, il said, would re-
main in that port for day or two.
The French government had SO far given way to the
popular excitement the Eastern question to issue
two royal dccrces dated the 29th Of July-the first
calling into active service from the 9Th all the young
conscrpts Of the second portion of the contingent OF
1886 and all that still disposable of the contingent
of $50 the second authorizes the Minister of Marine
to open extraordinary credits for increasing by 10000
men the eectua force Of the navy besides five ships
Of the line, thirteen frigates and nine steamers. Ad-
mra Roussin Is also preparing an extensive promo
ton in order TO I'll up the staff of the fleet 50 that IN
every public department, much energy Is now dis
PLAYED BY the French Government, if war, on the
most extensive scale, had actually been declared.
Notwithstanding these begerent demonstrations
the better opinion both in England and France, was
that peace would not be interrupted and in this opn
ION we entirely The tone OF the latest French
journals was considerably moderated.
The number Of soldiers which the two ordinances
called into service estimated IN Paris at 10000
The addition to the cavalry regiments which these
ordinances necessarily contemplate calculated at
Is 900 men To mount these soldiers u was said TO
be the intention of the Government to seze upon the
horses Of the rendsrmes throughout the Kingdom and
