he made upon him, The eonscis retired;
ard thus Monday passed. The next
morning a courier arrived at the harem
with dispatches from Beyron,, bringing
intelligence that the English squadron,
with 5000 Alhanisns, 10000 English
tnaskeis and artillery Sc, on board, were
arrived On the cnasi OF Syria, and about To
land those formidable supplies 10 rekinde
The instruction. The effect OF this news
has been 10 aggrsvate and embitter the
quarrel beyond all possibility Of amicabe
settlement.
KHvA-RETREAr or THE RUSSIANS.
The following article, published in the
Delhi Gazette, Ut the 10Th Of July, states
positively and upon authority, the retreat
Of the Russians from Khiva:
"The halt Of the Russians, if not their
rsrograde movement, continues to be con-
frmed by letters from various quarters.
And this is authenticsy said, 10 have a.
risen from The circumstances of the Brit
ish authorities, who, while they are using
their most strenuous exeriions TO induce
the Khivans 10 give up their Russian
csptives, and, by so doing, TO remove the
chief cause Of quarrel as set forth in the
Russian declaration Of war, have declared
their determination 10 oppose any further
advance Of the Autocrat's troops towards
British India.
ALEXANDRIA, Aug 90, quater past Q
o'clock. Two Austrian !rigates have just
arrived and anchored alongside the Beer-
onlnn, outside the reef. The Turkish
and Egvptian feet are in motion, apparent
iy putting themselves in order for the last
resort. The news OF Commodore Napier's
arrival at Beytout with four men-ol war,
corvette, and Turkish line Of battle
shin, is confirmed. Captain Walker is
SAID to be on board the last, but nothing
has vet been seen Of the Arnauis on that
part Of The coast. The despatch OF Abbas
Paeha. the Governor Of Beyrout, states
that Commodore Napier summoned the
Town to surrender TO The Sultan, and or
dered Abbas Pacha and his troops To &C.
knowledge his authority, or evacuate
Bpyrout forthwith. The governor, who i,
supported by a strong force in the inter-.
or. replied that he held the town fol
Mehemet Ali, AMI that If Commodore Ma
pier attempted TO land single man, ht
would consider ii the commencement o.
hostllilies, and would act accordingly
ltappears that nothing further had occur
red at the time the governors courier came
awav.
The arrival Of the news from Beyrou
and ofthe Austrian frigates must speedily
bring things tn crisis. The Pacha de
elared few days since that if any move
ment were made against the peace o
Syria, he would instantly order his sor
lbrahim To march into Asia Minor in oper
hostility TO the Sultan further, that i
the British feet blockaded Alexandria, ht
would meet that movement by an instan
order for the stoppage Of the Indian mails
whether by the Red Sea rout or the Eu
pirates. A few days, perhaps few
hours viii decide all.
