Element Of the Egyptian squadron.
Lord Stamford wished to put question to the
noble viscount at the head Of her Majesty's gov
eminent ON a subject which much interested the
public mind During the last few days accounts
had appeared in the public journals of this coun-
Try and of France, stating that treaty had been
concluded between the great Continental Powers
for the purpose of obtaninsa settlement of the
disputes between Turkey and Egypt, but that
France was not consenting or a signing party.
Now, he did not wish to ask the noble Wis
count aAy thing whatever as TO the terms or
stipulations of the rumored treaty, but he was
most anxious to know whether such treaty had
been agreed upon and did exist. The public
were deeply interested upon this subject.
| Lord Melbourne said it was certainly true
that negotiations had been carried on between
| the governments of Russia, Austria, Prussia,
England, and the Sublime Porte, the subjects of
which were the pacifcation of matters in the
Levant, and settling the affairs of the East. 1t
was also certainly true that the negotiations
were considerably advanced, but they could not
be considered settled until ratified by the differ
ent Powers. France was not party to the ne
quotations.
Lord Brougham.-Is it true that France is not
consenting patty to the negotiations, and that
she had taken part in them up to the period of
their completion?
Lord Melbourne.-It is certainly true that
France is not consenting or signing party.

too strong manner.
The subject was then dropped
| We give the following from the Commerce,
merely as specimen of the political gossip cur
rent in Paris:
e'It has been reported that one day last week,
when M Guizot was visiting Lord Palmerston,
his lordship said, well, sir! we have settled
the affair of the East and then explained the
| arrangements entered into nearly in the terms
used bv the Morning Post and Constitutional.
| M. Guizot, whose instructions were to receive
all communications which might be made to him
the affairs of the East, but to take no part in
them, bowed, and soon afterwards returned to
his house, and despatched courier to M. Theirs,
who arrived on Saturday morning about ten
o'clock. Two hours afterwards, the English
Minister waited upon him with notification of
the treaty.
Nothing less is talked of than calling out 200,-
900 men of the reserve. Instructions to this
effect have been sent to the Generals command
ing divisions, who are to form their troops into
brigades. Purchases of horses, ammunition, and
provisions, talked of; in fine, preparations
are making for the expenditure of large sums of
money! The most sanguine go still further.and
announce that 10000 men aSe being prepared
for marching towards the Riviera of Genoa, to
keep Austria in check in Italy, while 100000
men are to be mustered on the Rhine. The navy
also must have share in the comnaotion Vice
Admiral Roussin will leave the Office of Minis
ter to receive the baton of full Admiral from the
hands of his successor, and take the command of
our fleet in the Levant; having Rear-Admirals
Lalande and Hugon under him. Nevertheless,
before coming to extrenities, last attempt is to
be made with Austria; and the Count de St Au-
laire, who is now at Paris on leave is to set out
this evening for Vienna, Ifle fails, the Cham
Der wiii be convoled. in order to be applied to
Tor means OF action"
The Constitutional (M. Theirs organ) again
says-''France should be prepared for all event
ualities. 1t Will not see with cold blood hand
placed on the Turkish empire. All alone, as she
is, she has an immense power-matsrial and mo-
raj. Her material position consists in popula-
ton admirableb by its compact unity and its pas
sion Tor the glory of arms, for grandeur obtained
by justice II consists in the best finances in the
world, in 2O0, 900, 900 of reserve accumulated at
the Bank, 10000, 900 laid by for internal inn
provement, in twomillions of royal forests, and
Of 300, 100000 the war budget. Without loan,
without even the sale of its woods, France
could have, in short time, 700,000,000 disposed
to make head against its enemies"
From the London Morning Herald Of July 81
f'1'he agitation in the diplomatic and moneyed
circles, in consequence of the state of relations
with England, still continues at Paris though the
attention of government is in some measure abb
stracted from that topic by the celebration of the
three glorious days, and the necessity of watching
over the public peace The answer Of M. Guizot
to the last message of Theirs was received on
Tuesday, but nothing transpired in the course of
the day as to its contents NJ, Theirs is said to
have become calmer from the best of all reasons,
because he can do nothing but protest; and the
ordinance for the levy of 100000 men, which
was determined on in the Cabinet, has not yet
appeared The Government prints now say,
that the army is to be raised 100000 men, and
that ten additional sail of the line are to be
missioned, and then that France will ,cait-that
being the latest word invented to represent ma
