FOREIGN NEWS, ARRIVAL OF
fHE BRITISH QUEEN.
| We give the close of letter from our
Paris Correspondent as containing the la
test continental news.
Mr. Lewis. the cashier of the Schuyl-
kill Bank had been arrested in Paris. and
was under the surveillance of the French
Police.
From Turkey there is nothing of i'm
por!ance. From Alexandria we have re-
newed assurances of Mehemet AIi's de-
termination to resist, aud he has Just given
proof of it. Colonel Hodges. the.Brit-
lsh Consul General, lately, by instruc-
tons from Lord Ponsonby, the British
Ambassador at Constan,inople. took the
liberty of offering passports to turks who
might wish to return to their country
from Egypt. This is said the old
Pasha "wa point fort.-Give passpor, to
your own people, if you will, and will
sign them, but do not NEEDLE with my al
fairs.-1 am, if not the sovereign, the Adj
mlnlstratlor of this country. and will not
allow usurpaiion SO imperlinent.''
This circumstance may unbur,hen the
relations of England and Egypt and have
very unfavorabie consequences for the
former, who seems to be attracting upon
her multitude of enemies.
From Greece there is no news of the
slightest interest to you. From Naples
and Malta we learn that hoslli,es on a
small scale (the seizure of one or two
small vessels by the English had actually
began; but we know since Saturday last,
that the King Of Naples has actually ac-
cepted the mediation of France. so that
the affair will not for the present have We
ny important consequences. The French
will thus render themselves useful and
important in Naples, as they are likely to
become in the East, where their media
ton between England and other States,
will also be accepted.
There is rumor in town this morning
thai serious correspondence has arisen
between the French and British 90 vern-
ments respecting the pied terrs the
French have secured on the Island of Mi
norca, under prelence of establishing
hospital there for French sick to be
brought from Algiers, but have not been
able 10 ascertain the truth or falsehood of
the statement; if the English have not
complained they ought, for it is only the
entering point Of the wedge. You will see
Minorca in the hands of French if Eng
land be not sharp on the subjec.. -
The campaign has commenced in AZ
RIGA against Ahlel-Kader, but nothing de-
cislve is yet known on the subject. The
King two sons; the Duke ofOrleans and
Aumale are at the head of the expedi-
ton. An important occurance for the
French lately took place in Africa name
Ily, an attack made by native chief, the
Sclleekel- Arab, on one of the Leu,en-
ants of Abdel-Kader, in which the latter
lost nearly 500 men, whose ears (salieE)
were forwarded by the Sheeck to the
French General.
Abdel Kader will be beaten, but the
belief of the best intormed is that the
French Chambers will not long sanction
the retention Of the French conquests in
Africa, On account or the immense loss of
blood and treasure they annually exact 10
maintain them.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE BOUNDA-
RY QUESTION.
By the evening edition of the New
York Journal of Commerce, we learn that
the American Ministers and the English
Ministry have arrived at something like a
settlement Of the much vexed Boundary
Question. The Journal copies two long
articles upon, the subject, one from the
Manchester Guardian, and the other from
the Morning Chronicle; the IallerIs regar-
ded as semi-official. The terms of COM
promise are in substance this, that both
parties agree to adopt the award of the
King of the Netherlands, by which the
river St. Johns is made the boundary line,
and as an indemnity for any territory
Maine may suppose she has right to
/ North of the St. Johns. the British Gov
eminent agrees to pay her 100000, or
about half a million of dollars. About the
cost ofthe Aroostook war.

mount Of money, a great quantity Of books.
accounts and papers were found with him.
