The English government steamer the Cyc-
lops arrived here this morning from Sevde,
which place she left on the 2lst ult. She has
on board the Emir Bechi, with fifteen men,
bers of his family, and lis persons of his
suite, With whom he is, proceeding TO Eng
land
The captain Of the Cyclops confirms the
accounts of the rising throughout nearly the
whole mountain.
The news from.Syria of the general defec-
ton from Mehcmct Ali, and the very signif-
hcant abandonment of his cause by the Emr
Bechir, removes the easus belli, indicated by
the Theirs ministry, to a greater distance. If
the "chances Of war" decide the event as
they seem to be doing, in Syria, no case will
arise in which England, or the powers in al
lance with her, could be justified in attacking
the power of the Pacha in Egypt, where alone
the late or present rulers of Franco have de-
clared an interest IN his cause.
London, Nor. 4.-The news from SYRIA
which arrived yesterday by the Geographic
despatch OF the 3lst of October from Toulion
is undoubtedly very important, and, though it
shows that the reports previously received
were somewhat premature, it fully confirms
the rumor ofthc success OF the Anglo-Turkish
forces, the extension Of the Instruction
throughout tho country of Mount Lebanon,
and the probable defeat Of Ibrahim whenever
he shall venture TO meet the allied troops
The despatch from Malta of the eth ult.,
giving news direct from Seyde OF the 2lst,
confirms the intelligence from Alexandria of
the l1th; and the presence Of the Emir BE-
CHR on hoarl the Cyclops is likewise men
toned. II Is, however, not easy TO compre-
bend for what reason or in what capacity the
Emir is said To be on his way to England
whether as hostage, prisoner, or a nego-
tiator.
Here, then. as we observed the other day,
naturally ends the first act or epoch Of this
eventual history. The French Ministry is
changed, the Chambers are about 10 meet, the
fate OF SyEia is decided, the season of marine
operations is nearly over, the leading dip.o-
matte representatives OF Austria and Prussia
have Unexpectedly returned 10 London, and
the wisesi rourse will be, without any ill-tam-
ed retrosperion as to past differences, TO take
up the question as 1t now stands, with an en-
tirely different state ofthings in the east, and
perhaps snmo change in the state Of opinions
in the west.
In short, nothing is wanting 10 convert this
success into an honorable triumph but TO make

the British Cabinet, consisting of the men most
