| '' hasten to inform you that the French govern
ment have received the following most important
teegraphc Dispatch
| MARsEILLEs, Oct l, half past 9.
"MALrA, Sept. 27.-The Prometheus, which left
| ysyrcut on the 10th, announces that, after bonn
bardment of nine days, which reduced the town to
ashes, the Egyptians evacuated the town in the night
and the allies took possession Of it.
| "The Oriental, which quilted Alexandria on the
| 9th, makes known that the frman deposing Niche
met Ali, had been communicated on the 2lst TO his
Highness by the Consuls General of the Four Pow
ers, who instantly struck their flags, and retired
board their shipping,
Copy "Director of the Tele: graph Focon."
"The above is the most important and alarming
intelligence that coald be received, as members of
the French government have said that if the treaty
was executed a POutranee, there must be war. i
dare not say to alarm the public mind but !
view il as most fatal news, and have good reason
to do 500
The above intelligence has produced complete
panic in the city, and Consols have fallen nearly l..
per cent, viz, from 81 ito Sc ga. We may also
add that 100 600 Consos were offered at So, and no
takers. Purchasers were however shortly after
wards obtained at that price.
| Ten thousand additional troops have been order
ed to embark at Constantinople for Cyprus. We
have already stated that Mehemet Ali either or
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 mere
ruse to gain tiIne and had his offers been accepted
he would probably not have abded by them
The intelligence 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, the ether hand, literally offered a
reward for the head Of Lord Ponsonby's dragomsn,
| Mr. Moore. He is, however, safe on board the com
msndsrs ship. The city is now blockaded by a very
strong squadron, consisting Of the Powerful the Ed
inburgh, the Thunderer, the Ganges, the Benbow,
the Castor, the Carysfort, and the Gorgon steamer
| This news arrived to-day about o'clock, and i'm
mediately caused an unprecedented fall in stocks

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 so modified
as to allow Of the acceptance by the sultan of his
late reply, whether the quadruple treaty should
be rigdy enforced in all its parts and members and
decided the Affirmative, in spite Of France, Me.
hemet Ali, or other opposition, 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 it was
due respect to the interests and feelings Of France

any party power to complain. But, it seems, nov
| to be the fixed and unalterable determination TO
execute the treaty to the very letter Of it, and at
| 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 grea,

banking houses in the city. II 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
