half past o'clock on Tuesday morning. She sailed
from Liverpool in the afternoon OF the 10Th Of Octo-
Der, and made the passage in i3A days. Capt judi

! We have received our full files Of papers mp to

| The Britannia arrived out at 2 =. nj. on the 18th
| of October. The British Queen arrived off Cowes
the morning Of the l7th Of October, 80 hours be-
hind the ether.
| The English Money Market is in singular state;
money is alarmngly scarce; the stock market is
| gloomy and prices dropping.
The cotton market has been dull, the demand hmi-
ted, and though decline, prices have been main
tanned with ificulty
There has been another attempt to assassinate
Louis Philippe.
| A letter has reached London stating that Ibrahm
Pacha had gained a victory over the allied army in
| Syria near Beyrout, and made COO English prise
ners.
There is every prospect (from the news by the
Britanna) that there will be war between France
| and England. The merchants in both countries,
however, do not seem to act on this belief. The
tone of the English papers is pacific, but the &C
counts of actual occurrences in the East are very
contradictory
The tone Of the French papers is still warlike.-
The general rumors and belief we're that N. Theirs
had pressed the King TO consent to take measures
tantamount to a declaration Of war. That his Ma
- ho~ Of fho
agree to strong representation to the four Powers,
the reply to which could hardly be expected before
| the lapse of three weeks, and that the Chambers
should in the meanwhile be convoked for the end of
| that PERIOD when the views of the King Of his
| Government would be submitted to them, with the
results Of the last appeal to the soveregns, parties
| to the treaty of the 18th Of July.
| But there will be rupture between France and
England except it be occasioned by demonstrations
OF national fee ling the tone Of the letter from NJ
Tbiers recedng, apparently, from the false position
France had assumed in opposition to former treaties,
removes the cause Of war between the parties.
The import OF the rath .r verbose note, is that
France will acquiescs in the allies driving Niche
met Ali out Of Syria, but will not allow him to be
dispossessed of Egypt tits well known the Pow
| ers never meant to drive him out of Egypt, or to
support the Porte in any attempt to do so; but
France will not go to war with Europe on account
of operations in Syria, it may possibly render those
much more difficult, by assuring the Pacha of pro-
lection in the most extreme case Of obstinacy The
Pacha hight probably yield much sooner, If he
that the penalty OF obstinate resistance to g
wing up Syria, might be the loss Of Egypt
Upon the whole, however, the impression in Paris
Saturday was, that the question would be settled
Paciicaly Active negotiations were known to be
carrying on between the cabinets OF France and
England for arranging the basis Of final adjustment,
and il is not unknown that already many Of the great
est difficulties have disappeared. Already have the
Ambassadors Of the Four Powers Of the Porte
been instructed to communicate to the Sultan,
that while they admit the abstract right of his
Highnes SIS to depose Mehemet Ali, they nevertheless
trust that in the event Of the Vcsroy's early sub
mi ssion the sentence will be revoked, and Egypt
and part OF Syria granted to the Egyptian Ruler.
They have further been comm anded TO signify To
the Porte, that the Consuls Genera OF the -Four
Power. had Quilted Ale xandria, time ought TO be
Lost in commune ating TO the Pscha the benevolent
and gracious intentions OF his Imperial master We
had expected that some such prudent step would
taken; and We are well satisfied that it has been Ia
ken so early TO appear the spontaneous act Of the
-Four Powers. That the Porte will offer any oppo.
sitiop to the rec ndation of the -Four Powers,
| ia inconceivasIe, inlsmuch as they have charged
themselves with the entire settlement ofthe ques-
ton, agreeable to the wishes Of the Porte itself
The Affairs of the Easf--Probabiiity of
Peace.
There seems to have been taken some steps to-
wards pacific settlement, IL we may Judge from
from the following
On the S,h Of September, NJ. Theirs addressed n
note to NJ. Guizot the French Ambassador in Lon
dom stating, officially, that Mehenet Al, had de-
eared that he submitted himself to the will Of his
august mzstcr-that he accepted the here dtary pos
session Of Egypt-and submitted himself, in regard
10 other territories actually in his occupation, en-
tirely to the magnanimity Of the Sultan.
Note addressed by NJ. Theirs TO NJ. Guixot, the
AMBASSADOR from Louis PHILIPPE to England.
PARIS, Oct. =, 1St0.
(" Monsieur PAmbassadeur,-The grave question
which pre-cceupes at this moment the a'teation OF
all parties, has assumed aspect altogether new,
since tie reply made by the Porte to the concessions
offered BY the vieeroy ofEgypt:
"Menemet Ali, in reply 10 the summons Of the
Sultan has declared that he submitted himself to tie
will Of his august MASTER that he accepted the here
dtary possessions Of Egypt and that he placed him
SELF with respect 70 he remainder Of the territories
actually in his occupation, entirely at the magnani-
1--WE have made known TO the British cabinet the
Interpretation which must be put upon this mode OF
expressing himself and although MehemetAli would
not consent to declare the fall extent Of
| the concessions TO which he had been led to agree
by the pressing recommendation Of France, we
have taken IT upon ourselves 20 make them known,
and we have announced that the yiceroy resigns
hmselfto the necessity Of accepting the hereditary
sovereignty Of Egypt and the possession, during his
lifs Of Syria; at the same time csnsentins TO ssan-
dom Immediately Gambia, Adana, and the holy cities
We must also add had the Porte adhered TO this
| arrangement, we would at once have consented to
guarantee its fsl6lmsnt in concert with the powers
which are oc pied in determining the future eondi-
| tion Of the Ottoman empire. Every enlightened
| mind was sruck by the loyalty Of France, who,not-
| withdrawing she was forced to proceed ON sepa-
rate path never ceased to exercise her influence TO
bring about solution 1T once moderate and paci6c
| Of the oriental questos; nor has the wisdom which
guided the vceroy in listening to the dictates Of pru
