The news which was brought yesterday by the
Great Western, is deeply interesting IT is pecu-
liarly melancholy respecting Mehemet Ali and his
bold son Ibrahim. These two heroes are nearly gone
forever. OF late, they have been too big for their
breoches, but the Allied Powers have brought them
to their senses. Henceforih, the peace OF Europe
is certain and fixed. England can now attend to
China, without any trouble. Poor Mehemet Ali,
like General Jackson, may go and die as soon as ne
pleases.
